Lumineers or Implants Best with Periodontal Disease?

Momo415
For someone with chronic periodontal disease and bone loss, would it be best to use veneers to improve the look of the teeth or go directly for implants? Obviously, having the teeth removed is permanent (though so is the progression of periodontal dz) and I can't imagine being ready to run and do that now, but I also think it's important to be practical and realistic. Veneers would cost tens of thousands, probably about the same as implants? How long do implants last vs veneers and what is the best option?
