Hello and thank you for writing in. It sounds like dentures might be your only option for the missing teeth and you’re on a budget. Perhaps see what the NHS can offer you as you may be able to qualify for free treatment such as crowns or bridges. You could ask your dentist to see if they can put you on a dental hospital waiting list. Also you could try to get treatment through an affordable payment plan allowing you to pay in manageable chunks.
