That will be really wild, if they can get it to work.

I can't imagine that the tooth growing process will be very fast though. I'd guess months to a year, or even longer if they want to be careful about it.

I mean, just think of what it was like for teeth to come in when you were a kid. Or wisdom teeth coming in.

I think we can deal with going through that process again. It's not unfamiliar to anyone, after all, we all lived through it at least once or twice growing up.

It would be worth the wait, though! One thing (among others) that makes this sounds so great is that it wouldn't put others out. If I was 90, and wanted the chance at some teeth, and survived another five years, what a great boost in quality of life without keeping a younger candidate on a list. Same as for that 10 year old I imagine, great confidence boost and probably improved of diet.
