How do you afford implants?

Out of curiosity I seen people saying 8-40k ish

That’s insane to me

I need 2 implants/bone grafts and sinus lift and Invisalign and it’s 18k+ this is and old quote. I just can’t afford that with young 2 kids

I’ve been saving for 5 years and still have probably half of what I need

Are you guys just waiting till later in life when you have more money? Or are you guys well off already?

I make OK money but put everything together I’d have to pull money from retirement to get my teeth done or hit on a scratch ticket
