Well, without the teeth you probably won't need the kitchen. 
Yes, good dental care is expensive. The moral of this story is that prevention and early treatment are the best bang for the buck by far. Simple dental checkups twice a year out of pocket, along with daily brush and floss keep most of us out of deep trouble with our teeth. Healthy teeth and gums result in a lot of quality of life and long term health including reduced heart disease and reduced onset of dementia/alz as we age.
Teeth are a lot like a vintage Porsche. Prevention of rust doesn't cost much if we do it regularly. If we wait till we can see the road through the floor pan it's gonna get very expensive.
