I was told I would loose all my teeth to periodontal disease, what do you advise?

Q.
I was diagnosed with severe periodontal disease at 38 and was told that I would lose all my teeth soon. My teeth were lose and I did not have much bone mass. My dentist said it could have been caused by stress, genetics etc. I have been really depressed as my teeth have moved out of alignment, I cannot bite anything with my front teeth due to an extreme overbite. I rarely smile anymore. I have been told that the best option is to remove my teeth (even though they are healthy below the gum) and to wear dentures. I have come around to this idea. However, I would like cosmetic dentures fixed with mini denture implants but I cannot afford this. Is there anyway that I can get funding for this as I cannot bite, I do not smile and I am depressed as I was told i will loose all my teeth when I was 38. I am now 43 and my hands are tied as I cannot afford to do anything about it. Please help!

Regards

Hi, I wear a denture at the moment (as i am not suitable to get implants).Iam wondering if you make dentures that would match my gum colour as the nhs ones tend to be all the same colour.
