My teeth have all fallen out but the roots are still there. can i get the roots extracted and get dentures?

Certainly: A coordinated effort between a restorative dentist or prosthodontist to make the dentures and an oral surgeon to remove the roots. Considering your young age, you may also want to consider dental implants to support a prosthesis. Implants will also help preserve your remaining bone.
