The End of Dentures
A team from Columbia University Medical Center has pioneered a technique to regrow adult teeth from a person’s own stem cells.
An animal-model study has shown that by homing stem cells to a scaffold made of natural materials and integrated in surrounding tissue, there is no need to use harvested stem cell lines, or create an environment outside of the body (e.g., a Petri dish) where the tooth is grown and then implanted once it has matured. The tooth instead can be grown “orthotopically,” or in the socket where the tooth will integrate with surrounding tissue in ways that are impossible with hard metals or other materials.

Now THAT is interesting! However I would hate to guess at how much it would cost to have that done.
