Letting go of my teeth for dentures

Hi all, looking for reassurance that I am making the right decision to have full mouth extractions and replacement with dentures. Had a lot of problems with gum disease and lost most molars and some of my remaing teeth are now loose. Dentist recommends taking the rest out asap. Am finding it difficult to decide if I should go for it or not or wait for as long as possible. Not sure how I feel about dentures, that’s the thing. Any advice?

Hello Ethan
I had my remaining 11 upper teeth removed under local anaesthetic a month ago and an immediate denture placed
I couldn’t be happier
The whole thing was painless for me and my new smile is natural and most friends and family can’t tell the difference
I love being at home without my teeth in
My speech with the denture is good but when I’m gummy I’m ridiculous 😜
I hope to have my bottom teeth out next year and then I’ll be totally edentulous which I look forward to
I encourage you in this journey 😊👍😬
