Sucks that the timeline for approval is 2030. Cause if this works, that’s going to change so much (assuming it’s even slightly accessible)

Dude, I can wait seven years if it means my fucking front tooth would grow back and I can get rid of this stupid implant. You have no idea how excited this makes me.

What is the problem with the implant?

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Like it’s fine, it’s better than no tooth for sure. But real tooth is best tooth.

It doesn’t feel like my real tooth. It’s one of my front ones. You can’t really bite with it, sometimes shit gets stuck under it and it gets irritated, it’s just annoying. Sometimes it gets kind of itchy. Idk I miss my tooth man.

I don't know what kind of implant you got, but I got mines when I was 19 on the front two teeth and I never got any biting problem. What did your dentist had to say about it?

He said don’t bite shit or use it as a tool lol

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

Well.. I generally don't recommend eating shit either.

Now how about replacing every tooth in my mouth, which I've ground down, cavitied, etc? This is going to be one of those electives with a 12 month recovery eh?
