This is a good question, lambchops.
Yes, you can deduct these expenses as medical expenses on your itemized deductions in the year that you paid the dental fees. You can find more information in Publication 502 on page 5.
However, since this was done more that 3 years ago, an amendment to include these expenses will not have any effect on a possible refund amount. The IRS closes prior tax years after 3 years on filing date, usually on April 15th. So, a 2019 tax return amendment for refund purposes would be closed on April 15, 2023.

I’ve been looking into dental implants myself recently, and I can definitely relate to some of the concerns shared here. The cost can be a bit intimidating, but I've found that doing a bit of research and talking to local providers can really help in understanding what’s involved. I wanted to mention that I had a consultation with Dr. Trieu Ton, a dentist at Arbor Dental, not too long ago, and they were super helpful in explaining all my options. They really took the time to walk me through the procedure and the cost breakdown, which made it a lot less overwhelming. I appreciated their transparency, and the staff was really friendly.
