Hardly necessary to wonder about dentures, if you are only minus 1 tooth at 61!
I had a wisdom tooth extracted recently, and had all four of the molars that come in when you are about 11, before I was 20.
Apart from that I have quite a lot of fillings, and have had two teeth treated for infected root canals, at 20 something and 30 something and both teeth, plus a third crowned when I was in my forties.
I hope the rest of teeth intend to soldier on as long as I do, but who knows?
