But the periodontist wants to remove all.

More info please: Get a second opinion from another periodontist if you question the diagnosis.

Remove all: I assume that the periodontist feels you have lost bone support for your teeth, and that repair is not cost effective nor in your best interests. If you question his/her diagnosis, seek a second opinion with another specialist Periodontist.
