Right now, one of the best ways for a dentist to restore the natural function of a patient\u2019s smile is with dental implants<\/a>. But that could be changing very soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Research Saying About Growing New Teeth?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Recently, the Journal of Dental Research<\/em> published research revealing that stem cells taken from a patient\u2019s own gum tissue can be used to bioengineer new teeth. The result is a new tooth more effective than what dental implants can provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Growing New Teeth Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The process involves taking gum tissue, isolating a particular combination of cells, and then implanting them in the patient\u2019s jaw. From there, those cells will develop into a new tooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You won\u2019t find too many dentists offering this service just yet, though. Bioteeth are still just a matter of research. But over time, it\u2019s not unreasonable to expect this process to become the new standard, giving patients a genuinely natural smile again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
