@uriel238@cyu Realistically, I can’t see it being cheaper than implants, and will probably need lots of orthodontic treatment when the new tooth comes through.
I have an implant, with bone regeneration, and honestly, it’s just a tooth. Even with the bone regeneration, my total time in the chair was probably less than 90 minutes.
And, bonus, I can’t get toothache in it, and if it breaks, it’s 2 weeks to replace it like nothing happened.
The only way I see this competing with implants if it’s cheaper (honestly can’t see that happening) or less hassle (again, seems unlikely).
Implants are that good, and they’re gonna be hard to displace as the “gold standard” to replace missing teeth.
You’re focusing on the above gum situation and not the underneath. Having a tooth that could grow and fill a void where an implant would not be successful is huge.
