What they wont tell you about All-On-4/Implant Dentures
Board Certified Prosthodontist and Board-Certified implant Dentist, Dr. David McFadden, discusses several things dentists don’t - or won’t - tell you when you’re consulting with them regarding full mouth dental implant treatment.
The most popular treatment protocol currently for full arch or full mouth implant treatment is the All-On-4 protocol, (where they replace a full arch of teeth on just 4 implants.) While, on the surface, this sounds terrific, and it has become very popular treatment option due to heavy marketing efforts around promoting it, there ARE several reasons it is not the BEST option.
Dr. McFadden has been doing full mouth implant restorations for over 30 years, has lectured around the globe, held many, many lectures and live surgery courses for other dentists and has performed many thousands of implant treatments, including some of the most complex and challenging ones.
He is one of only 2 dentists in the US to be double board certified in implants (by the American Board of Oral Implantology) and prosthodontics (Dental Prosthetics), "by the American Board of Prosthodontics). This extremely rare combination of credentials and 34+experience yrs of experience give him a big advantage and a unique pool of knowledge that other dentists don’t have.
In this video, he reviews many of the things that are not presented to patients when they are seeking the All-On-4 Implant denture treatment as a way to restore their mouth. He arms you with the right questions to ask when seeking and discussing full arch/full mouth treatment options to help you navigate the conversation and decipher all the dental talk that can be so confusing.
He also touches on the differences between Implant Bridges vs All-On-4 Implant Dentures for replacing a full arch of teeth or a full mouth of teeth. Many people get confused and think an All-On-4 prosthesis is a (fixed) Implant BRIDGE, but it’s not; it’s a (fixed) Implant DENTURE. He shows cases and walks you through all the factors and variables involved in each.

Behind the Scenes: How Same Day/Immediate Fixed Implant Bridges are Made
what would be the cost of the implant bridges?
I really would love to visit and have a consultation though I live in California , so
I agree with your thoughts. I have a few teeth that are bad, and the composite they put on my front tooth came off. I asked the dentist to add more composite or bonding as I called it. Boom! I'm referred to the Implant Place to get implants for $46,000! Why bother going in to get teeth cleaning 2x a year if it's for nothing?!? I'm disgusted. They had a big 3-D Xray of my teeth and 'See where you have an abscess there? It needs out NOW' 'OK should I take antibiotics now?' 'No it's coming out' Makes no sense. Nothing makes sense. I'm not falling for this. I'll glue my own piece of tooth back on if I have to. I call B.S. Thank you for your info. We're not that stupid, although we may look like it lol. I appreciate your videos.
I’m glad you find them informative. Best of luck to you.
There needs to be protocols in place before any irreversible, invasive, and permanent procedure is made by a dentist/periodontist stating, showing proof that ALL teeth shpuld be extracted. Its devastating to learn something so traumatic did not need to take place. The particular place I am referring to had amazing reviews with alluring photos. Looking back, there were so many red flags....Including telling me he came up with the all on 4 concept. How could I have been so foolish?
I have my video consult with you Tuesday. I am hoping you can can help me. I only wish I had seen your videos before June.
I wish you had, too, but I will help in any way I can. I look forward to our consultation.
Hope you're doing well Dr. McFadden! Having dental troubles at the moment, and can't wait for the day I finish school and earn a salary enough to finally do what I want with my teeth. Hope to see you on graduation!
Sorry you’re having troubles. Best of luck with school! I’ll be here when you’re ready and happy to help any way I can.
@@mcfaddendentalimplantcenter I see from the website that you do preventive dentistry as well, if I don't feel as though I can trust the dentist I'm currently seeing, I might just have to bite the bullet and reach out to you to see if you're available. To get an opinion on my current mouths health that I can trust. No insurance sucks. Finally bought the best Delta Individual plan but the 12 month wait time for actual repairs is rough. on a managed plan that will begin in september though. Residing in Houston currently so it's not the worst drive I guess! Stay safe~!
Will tissue grafting be enough to 'build' your natural gum or papilla?
Great question! That technique has not been invented, yet. More tissue volume is always better than less but rebuilding a papilla is extremely difficult. We can get about 50% back with the shape of the temporary but that's all.
What about bone grafting for bone loss?
Can you change all on 4 to a 3 on 6 type bridge with no artificial gums even when bone was shaved?
Before a surgeon cuts the bone away, the patient not only should be informed but also told the ramifications. I had no idea this was part of the all on 4 process until it was too late. I'm devastated because the bulkiness is absolutely awful and I did not know about bridges until afterwards. I am miserable.
I’m sorry you didn’t see these videos sooner 😢
"The McFadden Fast and Furious Bridge" 😆Your videos have helped me to set the bar high in a field I previously had no insight in. I've turned down two dentist so far and meet with my first prosthodontist tomorrow. The trust I have developed for you through your videos has me considering traveling the 1100 miles to see you. Thank you for sharing what you do!
I’m glad you have found them so helpful! My goal here is patient education. I wish you the very best on your consultation with your first prosthodontist. If you don’t get the answers (and lips retracted before and after photos) you’re after, I’m here. All my best! Let me know how it goes!
Never liked the look of the "all on 4". Just looks like a denture. I like the look of the implant bridges. They look way better. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Dental Lab Tech here Thank you and great video
Thank you! Glad you found it informative.
You're the best. I m going to contact your office and see if you can help me. I live in Maryland
I’m happy to help any way I can.
Very interesting video even though I already have allon six upper and lower implants.. still learning
Best of luck!
Great video. I’m seeing a lot of implant dentists now saying surgical guides or even robotic surgery is the best option. What’s is your stance on that vs the traditional surgical method?
There are certainly times when these are of great help. When I teach implant surgery we always start with free-hand placement but I encourage them to use guides often.
good work
I have said this before, many thanks for saving me from a disaster. Unfortunately, a lot of people will only want to know what happened after damage is done.
I have a family member who works at a dentist office, I think they offer the all on, I told her I want to have the implant bridges done. Her response was that of if I kicked a puppy. I told her a few reasons I don’t want to be cut into like that. She was in disbelief that just one of the negatives is hacking apart my jaw and losing that precious bone. She even said “I’ve never heard of that” I’m just curious how they sell people on the procedure? If someone who works there doesn’t know exactly what happens, I am shocked what they tell patients. These “professionals” need to have consequences for what they are getting away with. The dental industry needs more regulation,
It's a travesty. Intense marketing and indoctrination. I am glad you are informed. Spread the word !!
What the approximate cost for a full bridge like the one you did just for the top?
That depends on a few factors. But it can range from $30-$40,000. I hope this helps :)
Thank you that’s helpful
I’m so glad!
How long to get used to?
Most people adjust pretty quickly. Anywhere from a few days to a week or so.
Thanks!
Thanks for the presentation! I have a month old zirconia over zirconia prostheses with long face and just realized that sometimes I grind my teeth only on my left side closest to one of my implant. I don’t want to break my new arches. Do I have to order custom made night guard or I can get one from Amazon? Appreciate your response.
A custom one would be a better bet for a proper fit. I wish you a lifetime of success and comfort with your new prostheses 😊
@mcfaddendentalimplantcenter Did you say that All-in-4s are removable? How long will they last?
No, they are screwed in and only removable by a dentist. How long they last depends on several factors. Keep watching - I have several videos on this subject. They should help you understand all the variables involved, and different options available so you know just which questions to ask and which terms to use when discussing full mouth implant treatment options.
Brilliant! We do it like you in our office! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
GREAT JOB DOC! What if by changing the MUA to straight instead of 17 0r 30 degrees your access hole is on the buccal or in the tooth?
In cases where we change the abutment for better tissue adaption and improved aesthetics which may place the screw hole in an undesirable position, we use angulated screw channels either from the manufacturer or Dynamic Abutment.
Thank you, doctor, excellent presentation.
Glad it was helpful!
Very interesting video. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Im from uk 🇬🇧 and turkey a hop away ate all doing all on 4 ive found a very good dentist in Budapest that do implant bridges consultation in a few weeks. A third of price of uk. Free consultation and hotel. If not successful il be booking to come over to you.
I wish you the best!
Yes I thought we were trying to save bone? Insane
Agreed!
You are AMAZING! ( Do Know Harm ) gee, what a concept! I so very much appreciate your entire presentation on this 4 on 4 cases! I love your technique. You are so smart, and everything you've said I completely get. I love your enthusiasm and passion for your Art here Doctor! I wish i met you a few months ago. I really need to find someone like you closer to NYC. Congratulations to You! This is a real deal here Doc. Thanks again for this.
It's going to take a lot of consults and a lot of leg work. Start with board certified prosthodontists who don't advertise All-on-4. And, remember, we are just a four hour plane ride away.
I wish I had not found this information, NOT!!! I’m in the first year of the A on 4 process , and not very happy, this practice got my lower arch, wrong, because it loosens up, are. As well as the most front post is painful so I can forget eating corn on the cob or a apple. So as you can imagine, I’m the fish, hamburger, chili, or all the other things that we tend to eat with teeth problems. So tomorrow I’m calling the office to put them on notice that we need to fix this. FYI , my first two temps on the bottom broke, and I’m thinking that they should have taken the hint that something was wrong with the bottom.
I'm sorry (but sadly, not surprised) you're having such problems. I hope you find a solution...
So glad I found Dr McFadden
I'm glad you did, too!
This is so beautiful. I’m crushed about losing my teeth, but you have given me hope. I’ll see you in a few weeks. My hope is that you can do this for me.
Dr. McFadden is one smart dude.
Gee, thanks! :)
This all sounds wonderful. Knowing this already costs more than an all on 4 which is already outrageous, people can't afford to lay out anymore $$. Wondering what you would charge for a person needing 20 extractions and full upper and lower bridges? Just an average ballpark figure to give those of us contemplating this surgery an idea if we could even afford to have it done. THank you
There is information on this procedure and the cost, on my website at: www.dentalimplantcenter.com/full-mouth-treatment/
Several things you have said here are not true. Not careful about where we put the implants? You sir, are bending the truth.
I have no idea what you are talking about. 30 years of doing these with amazing results and have no reason to be dishonest. I haven't heard your name as the ultimate implant authority but I will be looking for your website.
I reread your complaint about my video. You say, "about where 'we' put the implants?". Yes, there are dentists who care more than others but the vast majority of dentists doing All-on-X do not even understand the basic concepts of the protocol. Even if you are one of the "careful" dentists there are major flaws in the treatment planning, informed consent, surgical protocol and resultant prosthesis. I doubt you would have this protocol done in your own mouth if you needed full mouth/ arch implant rehabilitation. To take the time to watch my video, scrutinize it for "untruths" and send me a message means you are at least open to learning something new. I hope you offer your patients the FP1 option as 80% of our new patients have existing teeth and bone thereby making them good candidates for a better outcome. If so, great! If not, I think it's time for some introspection about your practice and ethics.
Thanx Doc. , Very informative video
Glad it was helpful!
I am so glad, I found your video. I feel that i have much more information about the implants and I am ready to make an appointment with you thank you Dr
Glad it was helpful!
What type of implant do you use?
Titanium
So I am in England...any ballpark figure for all on 6 [or 7 or 8].
You can read about cost here: www.dentalimplantcenter.com/fixed-bridges-non-removable/
Hello, first of all thanks for your content, however I think a couple of statements can lead to misunderstandings. One of the main difference choosing an all on X or implant bridge is the vertical dimension. it's if the patient had lost maxilar or mandibular bone. Sometimes patients that have been edentulous for a long time have their alveolar bone atrophied leaving only base bone. Remember that the pattern of bone remodeling in the maxilla is inwards and the mandibular is outwards, this can lead to the implants being angulated. Personally, I prefer my rehabilitations to be direct to the platform and not use mini pillars. However, that does not mean that there are no cases in which they should be used. Each patient is different and the case must be studied and planned before performing any action in the mouth. The axis system (or dynamic pillar) is undoubtedly a great tool to carry out our rehabilitations.
The problem with the All-on-Whatever (FP2 and FP3) being recommended 100:1 over implant bridges (FP1) is that 80% of our patients presenting for treatment having some or all of their teeth and good to great bone, Even a few percent of the edentulous patients have very good bone. For these 80+% of patients with good bone, it is absolutely inappropriate to misinform them that they are only candidates for FP2 and FP3. Sadly, this happens in nearly EVERY All-on-4 office EVERY DAY. For the 15-20% of patients with severe bone loss there are still only a few small percent of them where All-on-4 is indicated. Traditional "All-on-4" prostheses cannot be cleaned by the patient, so, again, I would argue that they are not appropriate for 99% of patients with the need for full mouth implant treatment. So, in conclusion, there may be about 1% of the population that have no other options but the traditional "All-on-Whatever" protocol.
I need to do my whole mouth! Where do you have the clinic?! For an assessment?!
My office is in Dallas, TX. My website is www.dentalimplantcenter.com and my office phone number is 214-956-9100 Be happy to consult with you and give you my assessment. (My consultations are complimentary).
@@mcfaddendentalimplantcenter I will give you a call next week! I’m Based in the UK! Your form doesn’t let me fill UK telephone number.
There are lot of disadvantages of doing cases like how you are suggesting.. there is a reason we use multiunits and tissue level prosthesis.. morden concepts of full mouth implants avoids bone grafting in the sinus region avoiding cantilevers by placing pterygoid implants thus decreasing waiting time and also chances of implant failure /graft failure.. bone level connection is not always advisable..
30 years of stellar results but I guess somehow you know better. I have no issues with straight MUAs but angled abutments are not good for bone or soft tissue. Would you have All-on-4, All-on-6 or All-onX in your mouth? I don't know one dentist who would ever have it for themselves...
I'm in UK but could travel I don't want all on 4
Many of our patients travel to Dallas for their implant treatment. If you’d like to scheduled a zoom consultation, and can get me a copy of a recent panoramic X-ray, I’d be happy to assess your needs and make recommendations. My office contact info is in the description below.
Can I ask why you don't have the equipment for printing temporary teeth instead of using the wax method?
We are in the process of getting a printer. We weren't satisfied with the prior units as far as their full capabilities. We do digital wax-ups with outside labs and they print models for us. So, we are close. I would mention that the outcomes speak for themselves no matter what technique(s)are used. Thank you for the question.
Hi Doc! I wonder if a person with bad teeth health and bleeding gums can do a all on 4 implant? Thx in advance for your help ❤
Very often, yes
@@mcfaddendentalimplantcenter thank you so much for your help. 🙏❤️
What should I, as a person with gum disease, do before implants? Should I take off the tooth, then go to periodontist, take out the infection, and then go for implants? Or I should go to the ortondontist to treat the gums while the teeth are in place, then take out the teeth, and then go fir implants? Appreciate your help 🙏
@@user-qs1dh1ie9o It really depends on the severity of the periodontal disease. In many cases, we extract teeth and place implants the same day. In other patients we do a "deep cleaning" with local anesthesia. In patients with severe disease we extract the teeth and the patient wears dentures for three months, then we place implants. I hope this helps. If you can get me a panoramic x-ray I can be more specific. Thank you.
Too bad I’m old..worked hard…single parent…lost my youngest daughter 14 yrs ago and raised all 5 grandchildren. I’ve got dental issues. But put everyone before me. Family and shelter animals were helped instead. Stress and health issues prob have something to do with my caps falling out (neuropathy, severe inflammation, vasculitis and fibromyalgia and anemia, thyroid issues, etc…). I’m tiny but was very tough…pushed myself for 50 yrs. Now I’m financially, emotionally and physically drained. Are there no oral surgeons or dentists who possess empathy any more. I need help. Can’t eat. I live in New Jersey. Not traveling. Can’t seem to find a caring dental office around here. Thanks tho.👍🏼
Sorry to say I don't think so, that's the problem for most of us dental is just way too expensive
So glad I didn’t do all on 4 after all. I knew they was denture just wouldn’t like them at the end
I'm glad FOR YOU!
OMG!!! How sad, and so tragic for these people!! What a nightmare!!!! Perhaps worse off than before, what a horrific thing to go thru!! Hopefully there is good outcome for these people!!!
