Hi Deni1963 I have been where you are, we are a similar age I am 56 and it happened to me two years ago.
For me it is just the one front tooth but all your reasons for not being able to have implants applied to me. Made me laugh when you said implants were an option, but you would have to sell your house
I too did not want to take my false tooth out at night!!! infact I can not believe how similar my emotions were to yours when I found out that I would have to have a false tooth, so let me tell you how I have coped with it all.
Ok firstly how much worse could things be, you have not got to look far to see people that have much worse problems that false teeth.
Secondly it really is not that bad, you actually do get used to it, really you do, once you accept that it is ok and not the end of the world, it does get better from there.
Your first week will be a bit alien but it will get easier. I guess we should be grateful that false teeth are possible as the alternative would be not good.
I know a lady that works with me and she is quite the glamourous one and she has five false teeth! so you can still be pretty and have false teeth
Trust me it really is not that bad, it will be ok.
