Well, GP wasn't talking about pulling out all his teeth and replacing them with implants today. It's just an idea for future biotech.
It's certainly conceivable that once we've figured out exactly how teeth affects the health of the jaw and gum, we'll be able to create implants that emulate the effect when combined with some sort of drug and/or regular treatment.
Besides, we'll need to do that sooner or later if we're going to aim for an average lifespan of 100 years or more. Biological teeth just don't last long enough.
