9 out of 10 dentists disagree.
Oh I’m sure dentists will be very happy to poke more holes in even more teeth.
Why?
More teeth More MONEEYYY…
Lol planned obsolescence even for teeth
soon there’s gonna be Bluetooth (hehe) speaker and microphone in your teeth. Then the next thing you know is your teeth need security and firmware updates.
Can’t wait to have a chinese lady say “the Bluetooth device is ready to pair” in my teeth.
That voice haunt my dreams.
Implants are already far too expensive, so I can only imagine the premium they would charge for real teeth.
What is the economic benefit of this?
And if there is no or little economic benefit, what chance is there that we will ever see it happen?
Chances are people who can afford it would pay a lot for this.
So it’ll start out as a luxury treatment. We just have to hope it works well and they can bring the costs down.
If it works out cheaper than dealing with other dental costs hopefully countries with socialised healthcare will pick it up.
What’s the economic benefit of hair transplants? Or any other cosmetic surgery for that matter.
Teeth are far more than cosmetic. The benefits of a good set of teeth for nutritional health, let alone the costs of poor tooth health on your general health would make this an economic benefit.
Exactly. Cosmetic surgery is where the real money is at.
I assume it will be an expensive treatment
