Has anyone here had all their teeth extracted and gotten dentures instead of implants?

I'm dealing with a lot of cavities, root canal's and crowns and my dentist 🦷 s telling me he can't save my teeth and to get them all removed and get dentures. I made an appointment with a denture place and went for a consultation today, and the guy was very blunt and told me that he didn't see too much wrong with my teeth and that I needed to save them and that I would regret getting them all pulled.
It's apparently going to cost a lot of money for all that work, and my dentist said down the line I would still have more problems and lose the teeth anyway. Most of the problems are on my bottom teeth, so I am thinking of getting them all pulled and getting dentures. Would love to talk to people who have them and what they dealt with, etc. Feel free to message me or answer here.

I have dentures full upper and lower.
They are a pain in the ass and expensive.
I paid $8,000 US for 26 extractions, 5 root canals, and two sets of uppers and lowers.
About once a year I have to have them resized.
They get sloppy and cause your gums and checks to get sore.
I get the home kit that's $20 now but when I had them do it, which is better, it's about $250.
Implants are about twice as expensive.
I would say save as many of your teeth as you can now and get partials.

@Dainbramadge thank you. I think I might get cavities filled and abscesses pulled and new partials then
