average cost for dentures?

i have/will have lost the 2 molars on my top right. so no molars to chew on the right side. i dont know the number of the teeth involved, but had one extracted in december and the other one was loose and thought it might last another 6 months or so. it is now so loose, it is hanging by a thread and i need puled. (spelling) i cant even brush the tooth, since so loose. i have gum disease and have had for years. i just want to know what the minimum or maximum cost to expect. my bottom left bottom are getting loose also, so expect to have problems in the next 6 months or so with them, possibly getting loose and losing either one of them. i dont qualify for assistance, and have outstanding medical bills for a hernia operation last july in amount of 4k that the insurance did not pay due to 2500 deductible. with the economy and no income (unemployed), husband self-employed and parkinsons disease, dont want to lose house of 35 years and wipe out any savings of our investments. hate the fact that i have to consider if i can eat something or not. i have dental insurance that is crap; wont pay for another 8 months or anything major; took out policy in februabry, wont pay until 1 year, 1k max which is nothing. so i will be paying out of pocket. can anyone tell me what the average cost for dentures for the 2 top teeth on my right side so i can chew or eat certain foods.

Dentures run anywhere from 800 on up depending on the quality of them. Doesn't seem like you need dentures though. If you only have a couple teeth missing go with a bridge.
