In contrast, stem cell therapy represents a groundbreaking approach that could regrow real teeth using the body’s own regenerative power. Stem cells, especially from cord tissue, are being researched for their ability to form dentin, pulp, and even entire tooth structures.
Uses
Dental bridges are a common solution for replacing missing teeth. They help restore everyday oral functions such as eating and speaking, while also preventing neighboring teeth from shifting out of place. This prosthetic option is popular due to its relatively simple, non-surgical approach.

Replace missing teeth and restore oral function
Prevent teeth from shifting and maintain jaw alignment
Quick, non-invasive solution for tooth loss
Stem Cell Therapy (Emerging Use):
Stem cell therapy is an innovative field that may soon change how we treat dental problems. Instead of replacing teeth with prosthetics, it aims to regenerate tooth and gum tissues naturally, offering a more integrated and permanent solution.
May regenerate tooth structures like dentin and pulp
Potential for natural tooth regrowth without implants
Supports long-term tissue healing and jawbone healthA person may need a bridge if:
- a tooth is so decayed that it falls out or a dentist removes it
- an accident or injury damages a tooth beyond repair
- decay or infection is so deep within a tooth that neither a filling nor a root canal are sufficient
