Is there a chance they'll be able to regrow parts of teeth? there by eliminating caps/crowns.

1) Teeth take about 5 years to fully grow... you prepared to wait that long for a new front tooth? ;D

2) So far they can't predict what tooth will grow where... fancy a lower molar in that front gap? ;D

Seriously what's the point? Implants have a high (98% success rate) very predictable and very quick relatively.
