Health

Implants are very expensive, but they are a good option for a number of reasons. They can preserve the morphology of your jaw and mouth better than partial dentures and they are less prone to infection and failure than bridgework.

Long-term health in aging is strongly affected by oral health or lack thereof, so it's a good investment in a healthier old age.

But damn, yes, they are expensive, and they SHOULD be covered by Medicare and/or health insurance...

encouragingly,
