More info needed....: What is the condition of the primary teeth? Do they need to be extracted? How much bone support do you have? What are the financial considerations for your dental care? Although many people wear and tolerate dentures, if you have to loose all of your teeth you should consider dental implants. They're an excellent investment in your long term health and well being.

Anodontia: is a complete absence of all permanent teeth. Treatment options are full fixed dentures or dental implants. See an oral surgeon to determine if you are a candidate for dental implants. Good luck.

Implants better: You could get dentures however,you will suffer bone loss over time and may end up a dental cripple in 20 years due to loss of bone under the dentures You should see a Prosthodontist for full evaluation to see what options you have.Implant treatment with fixed teeth would be best long-term solution.Due to not having any permanent teeth,and your youth,there may be a way to get medical insurance help
