    Yeah, of all the things to replace with a prosthetic, a tooth seems easiest. We can make a thing hard and strong very easily. That being said, the article says prosthetic don’t last for some reason.

      A good dental work can last for 10 or 20 years (ceramic crown or onlay) but the mouth is a very complicated part and many factors, mechanical and biological, come into play.
