Over the past 5 years I have lost nearly all my teeth

Q. Over the past 5 years I have lost nearly all my teeth, I always tried to take care of the brushing,flossing,mouthwash etc.I was told that giving up smoking had made my teeth come loose, but that is trash i think.Nothing seemed to work to prevent the loosening i would get an infection and one tooth would loosen and then another, I would go to the dentist and have a tooth out then it was several teeth, the last three times i have been to the dentist I have had four teeth taken out. I have no top teeth and only four bottom back teeth now and the denture is not good, My confidence has hit an all time low, it is affecting my eating and drinking, and my social life because the denture will not stay in place. What can you do to help me get my confidence back and what sort of cost would I be looking at , I want to be able to smile without fear of my denture falling out for my daughters wedding.

A. Hi ,
a terrible situation.
it souunds like chronic gum disease worsened by smoking and with possible genetic factors.
your option would be implants with bone grafting to give enough bone to site the implants .
we offer free consults if you want an idea of costs and options
