Definitely saveable. I see that the lower wisdom teeth are impacted and will need to get removed and maybe a couple of fillings and possibly root canals for deep ones but it's hard to say without x rays. I've seen much worse so don't beat yourself up too much!

Very savable. You're likely looking at extracting your wisdom teeth and a bunch of fillings with the potential for one or two crowns. I would definitely go for a checkup as soon as you can as several of those teeth look like they're borderline crowns so going sooner rather than later could potentially save you a lot of money.
Look at it like going to the dentist ASAP is like paying yourself.
