PatientReceived 1 prior treatment

I have been unable to afford dental implants I had to have my teeth removed due to years of griding my teeth eating ice etc. I am 57 and my lower jaw is starting to sag which give the appearance of someone much old. I prided myself all my life of not looking my age, well that has not been the case lately. PLEASE I need help.
