bascically what you should be saying but are not is to save money for implants of teeth beyond 65 years old

By age 65 and older, the average drops to about 21 teeth remaining out of 32. The number continues to decline with age.

You’re right to frame it that way: by the time people reach their mid‑60s and beyond, tooth loss becomes much more common, and planning financially for dental implants or other restorative options is wise. Implants are often considered the gold standard because they preserve jawbone structure and function better than dentures, but they’re also expensive and usually not covered fully by insurance.

Thinking ahead means treating implants as a long‑term investment in quality of life—chewing, speaking, and even facial structure depend on having stable teeth.

I’m 66 and still have them. My father’s 93 and has most of his. But we both see dentists regularly.
