My teeth are well past repair, and I would like to just get them all out and get dentures, some of them will surely need to be removed surgically, any idea on the cost. Or even how I might find out without calling all the dentists that specialize in surgery?

My dad has several teeth that need to be taken out. My brother and me tired convencing him to go to a dentist but he won't. If you go soon to a dentist, soon of your teeth may be saved. About the surgey and doctor thing, your local dentist should tell you that. Sorry for spelling things wrong ;p

Think long and hard about having dentures. They are not all they are cracked up to be. You may regret not saving your teeth once all have been removed and dentures placed, then it's too late to go back.
I'd suggest you make an appointment with a dentist that a friend or family member sees and likes. You will need to have x-rays taken to see which, if any, teeth can be saved.
Please consider ALL options that are presented to you.

Go see a dental school. Good service with better prices.
There are other options. One girl had a permanent plate put in. I think they just ground down all of the teeth and set a big plate in place.
You cab also implant a denture like thing with about 4 anchors for top and 4 per bottom, I believe.
So there are options.
