Comment on Breakthrough gel can regenerate tooth enamel within weeks
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 days agoimplants are a niche industry though, not related to general dentistry, its considered cosmetic. so its very EXPENSIVE for implants, per tooth can be thousands(3-6k or more) they would have to go toa cosmetic dentist if they want “replacement teeth, aka implants”. I only ever went to an oral surgeon for bottom wisdom tooth extraction.
plus there is one that is orifacial, which works on the jaw/ teeth, if you have a severe prognathism or overbite/underbit they can consider surgery combined with some dental procedures beforehand. i have prognathism but i never got surgery for it, wish i did when i was younger.

I have had four teeth replaced with the oral surgeon doing the screw and the dentist did the crowns. Yes it is expensive, but reasonably common, and partially covered by dental insurance.

luckily i had root canals and dont need extractions than implants, if you try to get implants on the “cheap” like less than a few thousands you wont get results, i had a family member get1 tooth for 6k, while my parents getting theres for 2-3k, not very good results, plus advertising as using new “tech”
