Well, the dentist got my partner a same-day appointment with an oral surgeon. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

He apparently has just enough lower jawbone left to be able to get at least a couple of implants for his lower teeth. But even just a couple would cost a small fortune.
@mm Good luck. My mom got jerked around by her insurance on this. They negotiated that she'd get the teeth pulled and then go back for the implants separately.
Basically while she was finishing up the "pulling all your teeth" appointment they informed her that implants had to happen the same day so she wasn't getting them.
@mm If you can get to Turkey, that seems to be the place that all of the locals go for their expensive dental work.
A friend got upper and lower implants (full set) for I think under $10k.
Not cheap, by a long shot, but a whole lot cheaper than going through a local dentist. He's been very happy with the results.
Surgeon recommends dentures, which isn't a surprise.
I would love for him to get snap-in dentures (if he even has enough bone left for any implants) but that would apparently run tens of thousands of dollars. 🙄
