Possibly your death from infection.

A simple pull at a dentist around here is about 60 dollars, if it is decay very bad, they may had to do it with a oral surgeon it can get more costly

Since the teeth are have decay, you might be sent to an oral surgeon. The cost can really vary, but you can call for an estimate. Since this will be your first set of dentures, your dentist might have you have a temp. set of dentures while your mouth and gums heal. That will be from 6 to 12 months. After your mouth heals, you will be fitted with your permanent set of dentures. Again, you can get an estimate for your dentures too. Best to do some phone calls and ask lots of questions. I hope this helps you out.

I miss read the question... thanks for the correction.

I guess this is about implants. When I had mine done, it took about 9 months, but that may be able to be sped up. It's generally the cost of placing the post (2 surgeries). Mine was about $1K. That part was not covered my insurance at all.

The restoration is about the cost of a crown which might run about $600 and might be paid at 50%.

Prices may be way out of wack because my implant is pretty old.

The cost is not easy to quote without seeing your mouth. It also depends where you are located in the world, how badly the tooth is decayed, which tooth it is, how you want to replace it (denture with one tooth, implant or bridge). I'd suggest you see a dentist and have him/her give you a written estimate of all your options.
