You can already get your teeth done in ceramics, to match the originals.

Zak, here in the USA we have had this technology for some years now. You are right, the broken tooth is scanned and an exact copy machined for the patient. It is not cheap but the best solutions are never cheap. Personally I think it is qquite cost effective for this solution. This is incredible technology from Japan.

43,000rpm spindle! OMG!

Zak - I want all of my teeth taking out and replacing with exact Titanium replicas!

What sort of toothpaste do you use for Titanium teeth?

90 metres a minute? Really? Awesome technology from Matsuura - again.

Fantastic machine tool - is this a customer job?

I heard that CNC technology is used in orthodontics in Japan, the USA & in Spain to re-create the persons tooth if it gets broken (I believe they scan the broken tooth & make an exact replica CAD model) - & it could be a massively growing sector.
