Dental implantation is quickly becoming the method of choice for lasting tooth replacement. This is a small wonder, because the only other alternative is to get bridge work or a partial denture, which does not stop the alveolar tissue from disintegrating, and thus does not stop tooth loss. But many people are reluctant to get dental implants because of the invasive surgery, and the high price of dental implants. This is the problem that entrepeneur Chan Wang seeks to bridge, and her company, Zuga Medical, a Chinese American firm, has been working hard at finding a solution precisely for this problem.
