I’m Sarah. I’m a Brit who fled to Portugal on account of Brexit, increasing intolerance and the British weather. I like climbing (although I can’t do much any more for health reasons) and sailing. This is a Friendica account. Friendica is kinda like Facebook as Mastodon is kinda like Twitter, except they can talk to each other.

  • @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.
