A full mouth xray will be good to see bone support around the remaining teeth. Dentures can then be planned depending on the longevity of the teeth

Hello mam, Dentures are better option for you considering your medical condition but if your sugar level is under control and your physician says you are fit for surgery then impants is a very good treatment modality.

Considering your medical status going for dentures would be a better option. However if your physician and dentist certifies that you are fit for implant procedures you can go ahead. Visit your dentist and he/she will advise you some diagnostic investigations to assess your suitability for implant procedure.
