Teeth have remarkable intricate structure, simple depositing some disordered mineral using a bio-mimetic peptide isn't the same as regenerating your enamel. Remaking your actual tooth material is very difficult (currently no method is really known). Once the enamel is formed the cells die off and you are stuck with what you've got. Hopefully restorative options like this may be modestly successful but I'm skeptical. I worked in this area during my PhD.
