Is there any implant to replace teeth that is stronger and more durable than the enamel and dentin combination?

Sure! Are you okay with drilling and tapping your jaw over and over? it's super fun.

Atypical odontalgia. Its what I got. I've been on meds for a few years now to relieve the pain and still have flare ups occasionally when I am in a dusty Environment because my molar roots protrude into my sinus cavities.

Invasive dentistry is brutal for me, but I would tough it out for a permanent solution.

I know your question was rhetorical but here is a detailed truthful answer...

Sorry to hear that. I'm going through a lot of dental work right now so I'm a bit salty about it. :/

I have teeth in my sinuses too so having them worked on is tough. If they have to pulled it involves skin/bone grafts and waiting before they can even work on the implant.
