<human>: I've been extremely lax in regular visits to the dentist. My only real visits would be when tooth related pain became too much to bear, rather than when I noticed a problem.  Anyways the dentist says that my teeth are so terrible I maybe have about 5 years left on them and that dentures are the only real realistic solution with how much work needs to be done.

Note: I plan on getting them done by at least the beginning of January (when my insurance renews)

My problem is, at what point, and how would I go about telling someone I have dentures? It is not exactly a common thing to have them at 26, and at the same time I don't want to weird them out. Granted, I don't know if someone would care if I had them or not, but it is rather confusing for me because I never would have dreamt I have to remove most of my teeth.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I have to get dentures because of bad teeth/How when do I tell someone during the dating that I have dentures?
