Sweetie, veneers have to be glued onto something, so if your teeth are completely gone you need dental implants, not veneers, which are more expensive (a basic implant is typically $1,250. to $3,000, while veneers are typically between $900 - $2,500)
The best way to get more affordable implants or veneers is to find a dental school in your area, and let the students perform the procedure. Here's a link to look for a school in your area:

You can also find a Dental Assisting program at a school in your area (try technology or community colleges) and see if they have a dentist who works with the program. The Assisting program that I'm in has a dentist come in once a week and he does procedures on people for much less money.

Good luck!

Many women say having children has had a negative effect on their oral health. I think it is important to remember a few things.
1)Babies require a lot of calcium. Their need calcium and phosphorus for all their bones. If Mom doesn't have a large calcium store, say from drinking a lot of milk from when they were children and throughout their lifetime, then the baby will rob whatever minerals they can get from the Mom's Stores.
2)Teeth are constantly going through a demineralization/remineralization cycle. That is to say, you eat dinner. Sugars from your diet are used by bacteria on your teeth. The bacteria give off acids that demineralize or remove calcium and phosphorus from your teeth. When you brush (and floss) you get rid off the bacteria and calcium, phosphorus and fluoride ions are put back onto your teeth. If you don't have these mineral ions circulating in your body because your baby is robbing you of them, then your teeth don't remineralize. They just demineralize and demineralize and demineralize. Soon you have a cavity. The cavity gets worse and the tooth needs a filling, root canal or extraction.
Moral of the story. All you Mom's out there, make sure you are getting a lot of minerals, and not just when you are pregnant, but before that time too.

Your children were so angry they stuck their hand in your mouth and punched them out!
