You would not be without a denture after the extractions. A temporary will/should be provided while the tissue heals. Unsupported lower dentures can be a challenge, but they are doable with some help from adhesive. After healing, mini implants generally work quite well for lower dentures. If the temporary denture fits well, and you're happy with it's appearance, it could be possible to modify it to accept the implants in lieu of an entire new one or as spare denture if you chose to go with a new one. From time to time the denture will have to be relined as the gum tissue shrinks. I've had a mini supported lower for about 3 years and while it's not as good as a full set of natural teeth, I've had little trouble with it.
