I'd suggest you find a dental school close by. They will often provide dental care at a reduced fee since it will be students working with you. They can also make dentures. I'm sure the fee would be for materials only regarding the denture.
Good luck.

Have you checked with your local health department? Or Dental School?
If you need extensive work though it may be best to look into a Public Health program. Programs like this can often provide vouchers for dental services like extractions and dentures.

Try to avoid complete dentures, as they are only about 25% as effective as real teeth. Start taking care of your teeth now and seek treatment ASAP and maybe you can get some bridges, or a partial denture. Too many times I have people come to me after putting off a dental problem for too long. Things get worse and teeth that could have been saved end up being hopeless.
