Not before your need: Astonishing progress is being made in using stem cell research to grow and repair new tissues. Growing new teeth in a damaged jaw is and extremely challenging task, and while we have implanted tooth germs in experimental models, even this does not look like a predictable treatment in humans for a long time. You better brush and floss the ones you've still got and look at implants as an alternative.
