 My MIL was a trained dental tech from Germany...
At 30 she decided to have all her teeth pulled. She made herself 3 sets of dentures and lived with them until she passed away at 85.
IMHO...Screw this dentist. Find a different one and go through as many as you need to to get a decent opinion. Ask your friends.
I don't know anything about implants. I know about (well, the concept of) root canals, caps, bridges...all the early 1900's plus I had a broken tooth repaired in Australia with some sort of compound that worked great and is still going strong like the Energizer bunny 7 years later. Cost 300 AU to do.
I'm currently living with a broken molar. Can't afford to have it fixed and so far <knock wood> it is bearable just like the one that I lost a few years before having it fixed in Australia.
Do your teeth issues interfere with your life? (Other than knowing they're there) Is it a cosmetic issue? ...
<BTW...what is an implant anyway?>
