I sure would like to know what your "current dental problems" are that would make two dentists and an oral surgeon suggest full dentures. Brian has described very well the usual consequences of dentures.
I always tell my patients that full dentures are a last resort and only should be done if NO other options exist. This may be your case and it would unfair of me to make suggestions without knowing your actual situation.
If you prefer to contact me via email or you want to speak on the phone, let me know. I would be more than happy to give you my suggestions after I have all the facts.
