Many dental offices offer payment plans and financing with the increasing cost of dental treatment.  Do not condem yourself for your past, you have corrected your habits and improved your oral hygiene.  From the photo you submitted it appears those front teeth may have a moderate amount of decalcification or decay.  This would explain the cold sensitivity you are having as well.  It is best to keep your teeth if possible.  Extractions and implants can be much more costly than restoring your natural tooth.  The average extraction and bone graft for a single tooth can be upwards of $600,  more than likely you have 28 teeth (not including wisdom teeth).  Implants can be $3500-5000 per tooth.  Before you decide on extracting your teeth, set up a complete consultation with a dentist including radiographs.  This will allow the dentist to look at your entire history and each tooth in order to decide the best long-term treatment for you.  Once your gums and teeth are healthy, cosmetic options can be discussed.  It may be overwhelming to see a dentist for the first time in several years and more so when you receive a treatment plan.  It could be a lengthy process, but the dentist and staff will support and guide you through each step of the way.
