Suggest Suitable Treatment For Periodontal Disease

Due periodontal disease have 2brokenteeth that need to be removed, 2bottom front loose, several caps upper front that look bad, a sore that comes and goes where the teeth are loose. I have had the scaling done, got a little better, cost me out of pocket $1600.00. Dentist is waiting on insurance to pay to have scaling done again. Dentist has given me too many Proposed Treatments, all going in a different direction. He will not tell me what is best for me and my BUDGET. He just keeps doing things that cost me money with no results. I want to EAT, SMILE & be able to pay for the work. HELP what should I do?
