Goodbye Dental Implants, Dentist Grows New Teeth in Just 9 Weeks

If you ever lost a tooth in your life you know how expensive it is to have a dental implant. But we may now consider them as past, because there’s a huge development in oral health that could change the game of implants forever – growing your teeth back.

Dr. Jeremy Mao and his team from Columbia University have made researches and experiments and finally succeeded in creating the ability to regrow teeth using stem cells as a ‘scaffold’  for the new teeth (or tooth) to grow over.

Dr. Jeremy Mao explains:

“The missing tooth is replaced with stem cells from your body, and the tooth starts merging to the surrounding tissue on its own. This boosts the regeneration process and results in regrowth of the tooth in record time.” 

This should be a welcomed change and progress in the dental health, which is a new base, platform that the dental technicians should be working upon. The new way of solving the problem with loss of teeth and other problems that are connected with the dental care points out the flaws in the dental implants and the risks that the person takes with them such as:

  • Increasing the risk of diseases and illnesses including heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease and more
  • Implant are done without any biocompatibility testing, in which they’ll show if the used materials are compatible to the tissues of our body
  • Implants are often used where cavitations (inflammatory) processes are already beginning, autoimmune diseases seem to the often provoked after receiving metal implants

Currently, the procedures are now limited due to further research and total upgrade, but Dr. Mao and his team are using new stem cell research to further their findings that could help with treating broken bones and genetic disorders.

Although the process seems long, way longer than getting a tooth implant, but maybe it’s the new best way to wait for 9 weeks to let your own tooth from your own DNA to regrow than getting a foreign substance that can be fast but risky.

Dr. Mao says that this procedure is currently under fully developing and processing and it’s not out in the public yet, but it should be available in the near future. Until then, make sure to visit well known good dentists to help you take care of your teeth.
