Implants–which actually function exactly like real teeth–are considered optional, cosmetic luxuries. They’re almost never covered by dental plans and cost thousands of dollars. Per tooth.
Dentures–which suck and are mainly cosmetic and don’t allow you to eat the same foods you always had when you had real teeth–are considered necessary and practical. You can get free dentures from government/welfare insurance. But even out of pocket are are only a couple hundred.
Mmm, $500 complete upper or lower but it cost me 3.5k out of pocket to go to a dental school and have the broken or useless shit out so I could get dentures and that’s ignoring the fact my loss of teeth is a genetic issue not lack of care.
Basically happens now.

I remember my grandpa’s dentures, it’s why I brush regularly and don’t have cavities lol. Scary stuff when you’re in kindergarten.
