Why do we still have teeth? Why haven’t they been replaced by an artificial substitute?

With all the problems that teeth create I would assume that it’d make more sense to get rid of them and instead have something that will be easier to clean, replace and take care of.

We have artificial substitutes. They’re way more expensive to receive and annoying to maintain than just practicing basic oral hygiene for the average person. Tech is working on how to reduce price, surgery risks and maintenance problems but it’s not cheap and it takes a while to research these things. People aren’t exactly lining up to be lab rats and partake in experimental dental surgeries to replace their teeth with unproven experimental substitutes.
