Medicaid, Dental Implants and a Receeded Gumline?

cljmovies
I am on medicaid. It is my only form of insurance. I live on a fixed income. Very fixed! I have missing teeth. That I lost to bone loss and Diabetes. Recently I went to the dentist and was told a few more teeth have to be removed for the same reason. However, the dentist also told me that my gum line is non existent anymore. As a matter of fact he said he had never seen anyone's gum line disappear like mine had. What are the alternatives for someone like me. I can not afford implants at all. Update: Thank you so much for answering my question. But I wanted to know what fabricated dentures mean? Are they different from the normal dentures? My dentist and I have already established that I would be getting a partial set of teeth. But he said because my gum line is so receded he doesn't know if one can be made. And he would recommend implants. But as I already stated I can not afford them on any level.
