Dental implants look the part, but by design they can't replace actual teeth. Now scientists have developed an innovative new implant that "grows" into the gum and fuses with existing nerves to mimic the form and function of a real tooth. What's more, they're easier and gentler to put in place, with no bone drilling required.
