I am a 36 yr female. fixed income insurance covers 50% of dental. I went yesterday to have my teeth cleaned and they said I had to have extinsive bone loss. I have my e ray I can try to scan and e-mail you. I can not afford to have the periodontal deep cleanings done. I only have 26 teeth left . My question is would my long term cheapest method be doing ahead and getting dentures. I cannot afford the proper care to save the rest of my bone and teeth. Please some advice..

I am suffering from extensive bone loss, would it be best if I received dentures?
Saturday, December 4th, 2010If I had veneers placed after my Invisalign treatment would they be able to provide me with a retainer also?
Saturday, December 4th, 2010I am nearing the end of my invisalign treatment (nearly 2 years) and I am unhappy with the results.
I have a bonded retainer at the bottom but it is uncomfortable and the other teeth have moved back causing one to be wobbley, its been like that for the last 8 months.
When I finish the top set my ortho wants another bonded retainer. I think I will want veneers so want to avoid the bonded retainer.
If I get veneers done elsewhere will they still be able to provide me with a retainerk, If so what retainer and how much will it cost?
Thanks
