I've pondered even if you kept all of your teeth and lived long enough would they be grinded away to stubs causing you to need

implants or dentures anyway?

    My MIL will be turning 98 in a few months.  She actually has all her teeth and they aren't stubs.  Of course they aren't pearly white, but no dentures or implants for her.

    Perhaps it takes hundreds of years. No studies done of course.

    .. but we don't need studies to understand that accidents occur and teeth have no healing factor.

    Your question was age-related.  You didn't ask about losing teeth in an accident.

    Anthropologists identify vegetarian fossils by the teeth being ground down by dusty plant materials. So it depends on your diet.
