Do you think this is a painting or a photograph? Yes, it's a trick question because it's neither. This beautiful piece of art is a photorealistic collage. The artist is Laura Breitman and she creates the most beautiful fabric collages. Here is a detailed picture of this particular collage titled Looking Up.
The entire piece is composed of fabric. Amazing! In Laura's artist statement she writes how she is "committed to expressing how light interacts with form and the task of fooling the eye." She certainly has achieved this effect. When I look at her pieces, I can feel the calm where the art was inspired or photographed from. I don't know her exact technique, but I did notice she offers workshops in New York. I'll have to add that to my "things to do before I die" list.

What? For real? I am amazed! That is one of the most fabulous things I've seen in a long time.
Amen sis-ta!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad to hear that you enjoy the song.I haven't read any Robin Hobb yet, but I'll put it in my to-read pile.

When a person loses one or more tooth and wants to get it replaced, an artificial tooth root placed in their jaw area, which would hold the artificial replacement teeth (prosthodontics), this artificial tooth root, usually made of titanium or ceramic material, is called implants.
Implanting tooth is based on human bone's natural ability to fuse on implant materials over a while. Dental implants have numerous advantages over conventional treatments using dentures and bridges anchored to the adjacent tooth.
Enough bone mass and healthy gums are the prerequisites to receive dental implant treatment. If you lack any of those parameters, you might require additional procedures before proceeding to dental implants. Check out bone grafting (augmentation) or sinus lift section to understand more.
Doctor. TK. Prabu would decide your treatment options based on various parameters like your bone density of jaws and gum health using multiple sophisticated instruments like CAD/CAM
Simulation and computed tomography and stents.
Background
Though many advancements made on dental implant techniques, it is not a new thing and has been practised over the last 60 years. In 1965 Brånemark placed his first titanium dental implant into a human volunteer. He termed the clinically observed adherence of bone with titanium as "osseointegration" Since then, implants techniques have evolved so much (Excerpts from Wikipedia).
Interesting Facts
There is archaeological evidence that humans have attempted to replace missing teeth with root form implants for thousands of years. Remains from ancient China (dating 4000 years ago) have carved bamboo pegs, tapped into the bone to replace lost teeth, and 2000-year-old remains from Egyptian mummies were found to have transplanted human teeth.
An archaeological site in Honduras dating back to 600 AD found a young Mayan woman with three missing teeth replaced by pieces of seashells with Bone growth around two of that implants (seashell), indicating that they were functional well as esthetic. (Excerpts from
