As per the title really.

After years of bad teeth, some self inflicted through lack of care in my teens, some of which just seems to be weak teeth that almost dissolve at the first sign of anything acidic.

I've currently got 4 molars removed already, 1 that's likely to come out in the next month or so and another 2 that I'd be surprised if they last a couple more years.

So approaching my mid 30's I'm soon to be left with 2 options, a complete inability to eat anything that needs chewing or go down the denture route.

Dentures just remind me of old people, both sets of grandparents wore dentures, they'd be left in a glass of water next to the bed at night, would occasionally slip when they were eating etc, it's giving me nightmares just thinking about it.

I'm not sure implants are really an option as I've just taken a big pay cut at work so moneys tight and my cars in worse condition than my nashers so will need replacing imminently too.

Basicly just after other people's experiences if any?
I've never known anyone in their 30s to have dentures but also can't imagine anyone that does openly sharing that information so wonder if there's people that you just don't know about.

I find myself considering Turkish teeth as I know i could get my problems fixed for a fraction of the cost, problem is I get pretty bad health anxiety anyway and think the distance involved in getting any problems rectified making that worse.
