While pulling teeth is still quite barbaric, replacing teeth uses quite a lot of modern technology. For example 3D scans and 3D printing are common tools in creating dentures these days
My dentist made impression for two front crowns and sent away to have them made. Meanwhile he made two temporary crowns in-house and glued them in. They looked and felt exactly like the ones that arrived two months later. I dunno.
Methinks I’d prefer that bacterial treatment that helps regrow teeth. Or the one that triggers the third set. Or the others I’ve heard of over the past few decades, that would be a cheap (mere pennies) one-time treatment, that curiously somehow never made it to market. Rather than being hozed of my wealth to give someone a bullshit job. Don’t you just love the perverse incentives in this “economy”?
Still… it’s very impressive, doing it the long way around, the hard way. And in our agnotologically abused state, oblivious to the suppressed cheap easy ways, it’s so very very impressive, we marvel at the skilled class, and bow before them, pleading in desperation for their blessing us with salvation, as they’re the one true god, of whatever it is they’ve anti-competitively cornered the market at.
“Wheeeeee. I’m so glad we’re free, honey. What time’s American Gladiators on. Are we missing it?”… <- somehow that Bill Hicks bit sprang to mind. Like akin to the “keep repeating, we are free”, here we’re induced to “keep repeating, we’re in the future”.

My dentist does a 3d scan in the chair and has a mill onsite that generates crowns in 45 minutes.

Jealous, mine has to send out for crowns and it takes at least a week
yeah, he’s not cheap, but it’s such a HUGE advantage to walk out done. One appt.

Source? I’ve been following the research and as far as I know it’s still wild growth
