"lost" teeth are lost for a reason. Growing a new tooth in that spot would most likely lead to the same outcome.

Hard to admit that a titanium root and a ceramic crown means trouble free use for a long long time. No cavities and no pain. And these crowns can hammer down on hard stuff without the risk of fracture like a natural tooth.

Lost teeth often mean lost jawbone structure necessitating a year long process of restoring the lost bone before even an implant can be installed.

Thanks I’ll pass. I didn’t like getting in the mouth by a baseball bat the first time.

I lost a few molars to trauma and turns out I’m allergic to titanium

Dentist said my bite is way to hard for sapphire so I’m stuck with a couple super expensive zirconium on platinum bridges that have a life expectancy of maybe 15 years

If they can make this shit work I’ll be a guinea pig
