Implants have huge health risks in old age, as we lose bone mass and life expectancy grows longer. Especially for those with risk of osteoporosis, but it is a natural part of aging for everyone. See the casec9f famous American Actor Dick Van Dyke, who has lived into his 90s and suffered grave problems and excrutiating pain with his implants in old age.
You are right, we take precautions before taking on any cases. We always do a health analysis and blood work. We always want to make sure the possibility of great success for the patient. Thanks for watching!
@@implantsecrets What is your reply to the fact that implants have huge health risks in old age, as we lose bone mass and life expectancy grows longer? Especially so for those with risk of osteoporosis, but bone loss is a natural part of aging for EVERYONE. Will the bone implants come loose or shift, and cause pain or fractures? See the case of famous American Actor Dick Van Dyke, who has lived into his 90s and suffered grave problems and excrutiating pain with his implants in old age. I would like to know.
@@ana419 Very valid concern, There are a lot of factors that go into the treatment of implants. The biggest factor is the health of the patient. This is something that we can not count on. Yes it is true that an implant can become loose. This could be due to bone loss, which can be for underlying factors in the patients health, as well as from poor hygiene. (regular maintenance to your dentist for cleaning can help with this.) Pain could be caused from infections or allergy to the titanium. That being said, the American Dental Association and the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, maintain that titanium-based dental implants are a safe and long-term solution for missing teeth however, suggests that patients with chronic illnesses, like diabetes, may not be suitable candidates for the implants. The AAOMS does not mention metal allergies or the potential for side effects from dental implants. I would ask your primary care doctor to do MELISA (Memory Lymphocyte Immunostimulation Assay) test to check for a titanium allergy before getting dental implants. I hope this helps.
@@implantsecrets Thank you. Yes, this helps. However, my main concern is EXCLUSIVELY about the natural bone loss that occurs in old age, as well as that process being accelerated in patients with osteoporosis. Life expectancy keeps expanding, so how are most of the thousands or millions today, being actively encouraged to get dental implants, going to be when the implants start coming loose from bone loss, between the excruciating pain and the damage to their bones? What remedies will there be for them if implants are permanent and irremovable, and even if they were removable, that their bones have become brittle, susceptible to fracture with age, and will not grow back? And associated risks (infections, organ damage from chronic painkillers and antibiotics, inoperability due to age, etc.) I am astonished that no dental professionals will directly address this ONE very obvious risk on the horizon of a patient's life. I keep getting answers that deviate or over-generalize.
I swear if I had it my way I would bless a few people a year with the best option out there. People just don't know what an effect ur teeth plays on ur whole life. Not just as far as eating and looking better but the mental and emotional strain as well. To all of us out there I wish nothing but the best!!
For those like me who say I wish I had taken better care of my teeth please listen to me, If bad teeth runs in the family, you can brush and floss all day you will still end up getting dentures.
Good hygiene is always a healthy way to prolong having your natural teeth. Yes some people are unfortunate to have the hereditary background for teeth problems. But if you are one of these people, don’t give up and stop taking care of your teeth. Infections are very dangerous and good hygiene can help prevent them. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I too considered the role of inheritance. I learned that the thickness of the enamel is inherited and that determines how well the enamel holds up to certain foods. Small jawbone plus early arrival of wisdom teeth can result in crooked, crowded teeth. But good oral hygiene is important for more than just preserving the health of one's teeth.
It can also have a lot to do with estrogen levels during pregnancy or things like insulin resistance and diabetes, all of which can have a genetic component. When doctors speak to their patients, they tend to leave out sharing the effects that certain conditions can have on your teeth, gums, and the production of saliva or even the PH in the mouth. Such things often aren't mentioned with it comes to side effects of medications either. SO MANY things can contribute to issues with teeth.
When you consider not only your healthy smile, eating what you want, but also getting you self confidence back! This will change lives. Thanks for watching!
@@Eric-cy8tt Congratulations Eric! Best decisions you will ever make. I will improve your confidence and self worth a ton! Thanks for watching my friend!
@@implantsecrets I feel the same way about self confidence and living normal again. My dentist suggested the snap In Denture vs all on four due to cleaning them. Should I find a new dentist ?
@@truckchuck5601 Not necessarily, If a dentist is not familiar with the all on 4 procedure, or doesn't provide implant surgeries, he may be suggesting something that he prefers to provide or less expensive to help in you price range. That being said, you definitely want to find a dr. who has a lot of experience in implant surgery and good reviews. I would love to meet you and see how I can help.

After consulting with a dental expert about the possibilities and hearing the prices, I realized they are indeed, just a dream. Seriously. The prices for these appliances are crazy. Just look at them! You would think that they were made of platinum or moon rocks and required something on the level of neurosurgery to justify the charges.
@@wayfordford4889 It is outlandish. I've had a fair amount of dental work done over the years, and the prices have just gone up and up over time. Even a cleaning was once $40, and now it's more like $200. It's not like the work is always guaranteed to last either. You can plunk down a thousand dollars easily, and end up needing more expensive work done on the same tooth a couple of years later. It's not like all dentists do quality work either. And no one has ever been able to explain why something so small as a crown or implant costs as it does. You would think that, as technology advances, things would become more affordable. I talked to one guy...he wanted $35,000 PER ARCH for full mouth dental implants. Anyhow, sorry about the rant. This has always been a sticking point for me- like the cost for college tuition! Maybe that's part of the problem- dentists have to go to expensive dental school. I hope that plate gives you many years of service. : )
@@wayfordford4889 I got quoted £6000 for top and bottom partial dentures - and that was 10 years ago. Needless to say I said no thanks and stuck with my NHS el cheapo dentures - which are still going strong.
@@jeanne819 I found the bottom denture to be good. It is a partial so I had some of my own teeth to hold it in place. My partials are long overdue to be replaced and one of my natural lower teeth has become loose so the partial can lift from time to time. It's the top partial I don't get on with so well as it covers the roof of my mouth. It's still a good fit though. Being honest, I only wear the partials when I'm eating or if I go out. As soon as I come home, in the denture bath they go. Implants were never a consideration. Too much bone loss and far too expensive (I'm in the UK) plus I'm the world's biggest coward when it comes to anything dental. You would think in this day and age with all the new materials available that they could come up with a better, more comfortable design that won't break the bank.
I’m currently 53 & had nearly perfect teeth & gums up until the age of 40. Only had one small filling in my entire mouth & had my wisdom teeth pulled in my early 20’s. In the early fall of 2009, At around 6am I was riding my Harley into work on a somewhat windy country road. It was the sunrise following the full blood moon. Went around a tight blind corner & on the other side of the bend was an entire herd of deer. I had to make a split second decision to choose my pain, hopefully using the path of least resistance. I ended up going through a fence & landed in a ditch. I believe that decision saved my life that day. My only actual injury other than minor scrapes and bruises was to my face and mouth. I did not have the wind guard on my Harley so my face broke the top of the fence. I lost several teeth & broke & cracked all the remaining top teeth. Also had damage to a few of my lower teeth. My dental insurance from work was a complete joke. Paid 50% for basic extractions. Only covered Novocain, any other type of anesthesia like laughing gas I had to pay for in full. Since it was more important to me to provide a roof & proper food for my 2 daughters & I was a single parent who did not receive any child support. At my full time job I earned just over the cap so did not to qualify for any assistance. Suffered like that for approx 7 years. During that time I had a couple extracted due to severe abscesses that required over a week of antibiotics ahead of time before getting pulled. I had friends suggest to me I should quit my job or ask to be laid off or purposely get myself fired just so I could get at least some minimal repairs done. I refused to be that kind of role model to my kids. After both my daughters had become adults & moved out to their own homes I decided to get my class A license. Drive an 18 wheeler, see the entire country & get paid to do it. I saved up a nice tidy sum of $10k plus had one of the top plans with Delta Dental. Went to a dentist that actually was recommended to me by a few of my truck driver friends. I honestly thought The nightmare of my mouth was finally going to be over. The Dentist quoted me over $50k for the cheapest implants so I had to go with reg dentures. More appointments than I could count over a year & a half. Final result, after maxing out my insurance for both years & over $15k from me I had high end dentures that were never fitted right. They caused immediate severe pain as soon as they were in my mouth. The Dentist kept telling me that he could adjust them and they would eventually fit comfortably. After weekly appointments for the adjustments over almost almost 6 months I finally had to give up. Two years of my life & paid more money than I've ever saved in my entire life. Continued to wear the temporary dentures that were fitted the day of my major oral surgery. All my remaining top teeth & all the damaged bottom teeth were pulled. Years later I'm still using the temps doing a dyi realign every couple months. My mouth is in Constant pain. I always have sores somewhere in my mouth & ive Also developed CHEITIS that is so painful at times that I'm unable to eat. I also drool uncontrollably which is extremely embarrassing. My youngest daughters husband Refuses to even eat any meals with me because the state of my mouth and the way I have to eat grosses him out. My face now looks like I'm 10 years older than I am. What completely frustrates the hell out of me to the point of complete anger is not one dentist that does any ad for dental implants is actually willing to state any price ranges. I’m sick of hearing “come on into the office for a consult. I’ve even heard a few ads that excitingly states that thay have really dropped in price & still never actually give any price ranges whatsoever 🤬 I can't allow myself to get my hopes up again just to most likely be completely ripped off again & my mouth get even worse. If that is even possible. I'm actually glad I work as a truck driver So I spend over 90% of my time alone. Dentists that charge almost the same price for implants as someone will pay for a house to live in & make payments over 15+ years to pay off should be ashamed of themselves. No one I know could ever Come up with that kind of money to pay up front for a dental procedure That may or may not work for them. Dentistry should be considered a medical expense and covered under a persons medical insurance!!!
Trish I’m really sorry that you’ve had horrible experience with other dentists. Pricing is some thing that I have a whole little video about but I’ve been talking pricing openly for sometime now. Subscribe to my channel when I go live or because I talked about this often. My average price without any special consideration or agreement is 30k per jaw for zirconia. 25k for titanium. 20k for Snapin dentures. ❤️❤️❤️
The day is coming when these blood suckers are going to lose this war,someone they charged huge is going to invent a better Cheaper way then implants, just because of all these horror stories,someone will market a product that cuts into these teeth overpriced luxury ,and Because they some how were affected he's she's goi g to tell all these overpriced teeth We're the cause of there demise,iam not against my dentist and The standards used, only about price.massed produced using new Materal one day every one is going to have perfect teeth,that day is coming.having all the money in the world One day that's going to be a stone around there neck if they make It were they could have perfect teeth were everyone can enjoy that person will be a hero hero status to all the kid all the elderly,right now it's just pissing every one off or there going to get elected prisident if They say everyone can eat a turkey if you vote me into office.
Just like Wes Wayne, and because I'm a single Mama myself- I went to Affordpable Dentures and I was only able to afford the 2k dentures, but I'm beyond happy with them. Well the top denture fits like a glove and I've never liked adhesives so I've never been a fan of using them. Literally - I've had this set for 10 years and never used glue on the top and still people who have known me for years are shocked to find out that I've got dentures at all. The lowers have not been as kind, I do have to use an adhesive with the bottoms but I've grown used to it. I'd love to have implants since I'm only 38, but I'm just not comfortable spending that much money over that many years that I could end up regretting cuz I've never heard of a lifetime warranty for gany type of denture or implant. Best of luck to you, but maybe you could type up your story and make copies but include a request for pro Bono work or a discount in exchange for word of mouth advertising and/or before after pics to show their patients to drum up business. I had a friend who plead my case to a few doctors because everytime I was pregnant - my unborn child caused several vitamin deficiencies and I've had to have my mouth/teeth completely overhauled 3 times before opting for dentures this last time. Finally a dentist in the next town over agreed to revamp my smile right after my daughter was born but he agreed to do all the work for what my insurance would cover and a before and after photo release and he'd given me a stack of business cards to hand out. He was an old hippy and so generous!! Just ideas to look into. God bless
I have regular Dentures. I am so happy with them !!!! My teeth gradually got worse after having kids. Had to have some pulled. I finally decided to go to Dentures. I'm sooo glad I did. I can eat corn on the cob and apples. I haven't had to have mine realigned. Don't let a dentist talk u into expensive implants or drilling posts into ur jaw bone. To attach a denture. I am Very Satisfied with my Dentures and I don't use goopy putty to hold them in place. If u get a good fitting denture u will b so thankful u took the step into Dentures. No more spending lots of money on root canals , caps, fillings,or on partials. I went that route and finally had my teeth pulled and got Dentures. I wish I had before I spent thousands of dollars. I'm very happy with my plain old Dentures. Oh yeah. Don't believe that crap they tell u about Dentures block your tasting ur food. That's a lie !!!! Your taste buds r on your tongue !!! And ur tongue is not covered by your Dentures. I fully taste all my food , and sometimes I wish it didn't. That way I might loose some weight cause I wouldn't enjoy the taste of my food . But again I can fully taste everything I eat !!! And I truly enjoy it. So if ur teeth r bad, go to Dentures and u will b so happy u aren't dealing with tooth aches and dentists drills and spending thousands trying to save bad teeth. My dentist tried to talk me out of it too. But I was a money maker for him. Once I got my Dentures, he could not make thousands of dollars off me. If u feel u don't want to deal with bad teeth anymore don't let a dentist talk u out of it. I took the leap and so happy I did. The decision is yours.
me too I have upper and lower on 4 implant posts top and bottom. I can taste great and not a lot of problems except adjustments in the beginning. I am now looking to replace 13 year old worn dentures. Yes over the years I had repairs due to cracks from eating ice or nuts or something and eventually your jaw shrinks so the fit changes. You can reline yourself with over the counter products. I knew nothing about zirconia or other stuff my old dentures were very nice but now I will look into less old school approach they had back in 2009 when I had top and bottom teeth extracted. It was not that big of an ordeal but fear of course was a big issue. I did have some kind of sedation which put me out of it for the extractions. Many dentists now specialize in sedation.
I've never understood why so many people make fun of those who "need" false teeth, but usually those same people have nothing bad to say about those who "want" something like breast implants. 🤔 May Karma be swift and give them a toothache! Sadly most people who need false teeth usually live paycheck to paycheck.
Wrongo, dude! i haven't any Numbers...But, a large % 'lose their teeth' to 'Gum disease' particularly *Dry Mouth*, cause by Many *Common* prescription Meds. U 'may' have 'it' partly right of course! In 2022 *Post donnie$$* "Sadly, most of those people *Must* live 'Soc. Sec.'' 'welfare' or "Unemployment" LOL, 'cheque to cheque' They cannot buy Food!! So, 'Teeth' of Any sort, unnecessary ...period
You are so right. I person who feels good about themselves carry themselves better and value themselves. A good smile, and confidence goes a long way in finding a good paying job. I am sad that a lot of people with no fault of their own have a less than perfect smile, no person should have to go their whole life feeling less than they are. Thanks for watching Norman.
I have full dentures and no problems here. I'm able to taste my food just fine. Its better to get the bad teeth out so you never have a toothache again. Its better to invest in some type of dentures than dealing with toothaches and swollen gums. I invested in dentures and its been the best investment I ever made.
My mother wore dentures for 40 years and had no trouble at all with them, in fact she only visited a dentist once after 30 years to have them relined. However they were made by a very expert dentist and cost quite a lot of money. ,
Just 3 weeks ago I got a full set of dentures after having all my remaining teeth out and I absolutely love them-to me well worth the money. No they aren't for everyone and people will always give their opinions good or bad but for me I have nothing bad to say about them.
Hi, I did the sam and even my temporary teeth looks nice but I feel like I'm in a silent movie with preaty smile...I must say that.my speech pattern has totally altered and I feel like I'm only wearing full basic dentures which Doctors don't even mention that to their patients. I don't like the way I talk and I constantly have to be aware of my mouth when I have to talk with alot of saliva and make sure I don't spit on a person in front of me...anyway my doctor tells me the permanent one will better and practice SH, CH, ALL THE SSSSSSES...I'm doing that but no improvement what so ever... try to say , SHE SALES SEASHEL.CHOo, Cho, choo
Hiya, I totally get what you mean with speaking. It has changed mine too, but I can live with it as I wanted the dentures as my own weren't good. A pricey option but still cheaper than implants etc. Yes my sssss are more pronounced with an almost whistle when talking. I'm not due to get my permanent set till next January
Give it a while, right now you are just happy to be able to eat the food you use to eat. Once that happyness passes you will start to notice that the food nolonger has the same falvors it had before the dentures. It took me 9 months before I was able to notice the loss of the taste of the food due to the dentures.
@@mohammadalibagherzadehreza2708 Your denture needs adjusting. The expert who does this is called a prosthodontist. He get about 3 more years of school than a dentist to learn and perfect these techniques. Here are some videos to help you understand what I mean, and maybe make the adjustments yourself: ua-cam.com/video/nfi_-09Io5A/v-deo.html Look at the videos on the side also. Lots of information there.
3 years ago I became very sick and couldn’t eat. I have come a long way getting my health and life back and I do thank God for that but one of the hardest thing I’ve had to deal with is the loss of most of my teeth. I spend most of my time trying not to smile although I have so much to smile about. I keep looking and searching for an option and your video was so full of helpful information. I normally never comment on videos but just had to say something. Thank you
I have had a full upper denture for six years and I absolutely love it and everyone says I have a gorgeous smile. I have never had it relined, I use polygrip every day and it stays completely intact - I can even eat ALMONDS and I taste everything perfectly.
I totally agree with you and yes I believe because my husband has the same thing you do and he eats everything and anything and he eats every type of food he have no problem with it
I felt as he was talking directly to me! We spent a ton my denture that I never use. It's painful, I gag, I can eat healthy foods or go to dinner with my family due to insecurities. I wish I'd found you 3 years ago.
So sorry to hear that Kearney. Our goal is to try and get EVERYONE suffering from chronic dental issues to know their options, and be informed, before making a decision. Your commenting, liking and subscribing to our channel helps this happen, so thank you for helping us in this effort!
It is refreshing, to say the least, for recognizing and responding to me as an individual. This made me feel confident that you care for each of your patients individually. Your empathy is far more than we can expect this day in time. ❤❤❤ Again, Thank you and may God bless you!
Everyone is different, four implants are ideal for maintenance and stability. Six or more can be placed if a person has real soft bone, or has other factors needed. We can discuss this at your consultation. Give us a call at 385-272-9469.
Valuable information. My mom had temporary acrylic and she hate it, tar from food resided at the base of the teeth and she could not remove it during brushing. She now has teeth made of zirconia and she is very pleased with it. The teeth made of zirconia are much more expensive and heavier than acrylic but they are sharper to cut the food, have no black spots at the base of the teeth, and are easy to clean. It is important to find a good lab.
I am in the process of implants on my upper on 6 with a sinus lift. About how much are the upper zirconia snap in`s? I will have to do the lowers at a later date because of the cost. The complete work on the upper is going to take 14 months.
Great video. I made my own dentures with a 30.00 kit I got from Florida. Only paid 150.00 to the local denturist for the lost wax portion. Five years ago now. Have only had them realigned once.
Yes I am getting little creative myself. I don’t have the talent to make my own set. I found on Etsy sellers that make dentures. I do my impression kit at home send it back. Then they send me full set for $200. I still have not had all my teeth pulled yet. My husband is disabled so this is what I can afford. In few years I probably will get better set. I am going to be able to smile again. I can’t wait.
The problem with the titanium is yes, they are super strong but that’s also something that’s bad about it, the way my surgeon explained it to me is that if you bite down on something super hard with the titanium it’s going to rip the whole implant and break the bone and won’t be replaceable. But with the acrylic teeth they’re made to break on purpose because it’s much better than if you are going to break some thing By biting down too hard it’s better to break a replaceable acrylic tooth rather than breaking all the bone in your face is the actual implant is!
That is a great option for someone that is not ready for the "All on 4". Much better than the traditional dentures. You still have to take them out nightly, and also has maintenance. But is better to chew with than the traditional. Thanks for watching.
Its true that all-on-x is usually the best solution for patients. But here are some advantages of a removable denture: 1. Much cheaper than all-on-X. A removable can cost around 2-5K per arch. All-on-X can cost around 15K-20K. If you get both upper and lower, its around 30-40K. If you get a denture from dental school, you can get a good one for less than a grand. 2. A lot easier to clean. You have use a special floss to clean an All-on-X bridge, and that's only if the all-on-x was designed well to be cleanable. Implants also have to be cleaned religiously by the patient, almost more than you would with real teeth. With all-on-X, you must come in every year to have it removed and cleaned by the dentist. 3. You could have irritation/allergic reaction, but you won't get anything like a gum disease. Implants are notorious for developing infection because the rough metal is a perfect shelter for bacteria. Implant specialists would like to say that implant success rate is 95%. That is very misleading, because they are talking about implants that don't "completely fail". In reality, implants often have problems and complications, as often as around 45% of patients who received implants have at least one complication in a given year: "Derks J. J Clin Periodontol. 2015 Apr;42 Suppl 16:S158-71." If you replace a denture, you pay about 2K or less. If you replace an implant, its about the same price. But that is just one implant. If you replace 2 implants, thats around 3-4K. Also a few corrections: 1. Most of your taste buds are on your tongue, soft palate, and throat. Only a very few are present on the hard palate, which is what the removable denture covers. You wouldn't have a lot of difficulties tasting really, its more of just discomfort due to the acrylic covering the palate. 2. Implants do not prevent bone loss. It only slows it down by a large extent. In the long run, if you can afford it, I would recommend getting an all-on-x. But not everyone can afford it, and patients should be given all of the information they need to know, including the hygiene methods, advantages of a removable, possible complications of implants, and the future projected costs of taking care of removable vs implants. They deserve to know to make the right decision for themselves.
Thanks for the in depth feedback and comment! All on x is definitely the best solution, but a denture is for sure better than nothing if someone cannot afford the procedure. We make sure to give all of the options and information in our consultations to each patient as each situation is unique.
@@implantsecrets Funny how you refer to dentures as 'better than nothing" given the impression that they are an inferior product. Your choice of words is epic.
I have worked in the dental field, and had lots of personal experience with dentures due to cancer treatment. This of course has left me with little money left. So when I had to have a full mouth extraction, and my bone & body was not physically able to handle more surgery, I ended having to get instant full mouth dentures. And I had the best oral surgeon, lab, and dentist do the work. Healing has been long and painful. But I wish I would have been able to get implants. But I have to say, this video explains everything very well. Great job!
It's about 8000 dollars in my country. It's about a year worth of monthly wages. If you don't have your own home and pay rent, you will have a very hard time getting that money together fast enough. Probably have to work for a while without teeth.
Yea, it would be nice to have fifteen grand to work with. Clear Coice wanted $33,000 for a full upper and a lower partial implant and $15,000 up front? See ya in the next life.
Have had same upper and lower dentures for 10 years..still stay in without adhesive. I agree, though, that it does change your face somewhat..kind of lowers my cheeks (difficult to explain), but doesn't bother me as I'm not very vain.
Question; does the Titanium contain ANY Nickle ? I’m asking because there are reports of people who have Metal Allergies & after getting these Dentures containing metal ( the reports don’t list ALL the metals that are used) they are having serious problems with repeat infection/allergic reactions & that it’s due to 1or more of the metals used to create the implants/dentures. Many people, myself included, have allergic reactions to Nickel ( think cheap jewelry) & other metals, many people are unaware they even have a metal allergy. So, in the samples you are showing here do any of them contain Nickel ? Also I would appreciate it if all Dentists would advocate for better Dental Health Insurance & more affordable prices as they would get a better response from Congress than the average citizen. We’ve done our part by contacting all our government representatives, Now it’s the Dentists turn to advocate for us, after all we are the ones providing you with a very very generous income.
There have been small traces of nickel found in titanium surgical implants, Nickel allergic patients may develop hypersensitivity reactions due to this nickel content. Under certain circumstances, these small amounts may be enough to trigger allergic reactions in patients. Fortunately we haven't had any patients experience this.
@@implantsecrets I have been considering doing this and my Periodontist requires a physical and EKG ,,dont know if you guys do that but why on earth would you or they also not demand a metal allergy test ? thanks
@@billhamilton7524 before we do any surgery Bill we have the patient get a medical release from their primary doctor as well as blood tests. We will we want to make sure the patient is in good enough health to have a successful outcome. A few of our patients did what we asked and we found out they had diabetes and one found out he had lung cancer. So yes it is vital to know that our patients are healthy enough for this procedure. It is in the best interest of our patients.
Im in the same boat as most people here, the regular old dentures may be the only ones i could afford in my life time, Im hoping scientists perfect growing new teeth in the next 10 years - they are making progress i believe
Our teeth should be like our fingernails, two sets of teeth just aren't enough for us. If sharks can regrow their own teeth maybe that's where our scientists should start looking for answers at?
Trying to eat something while wearing dentures is like trying to eat with a big piece of plastic in your mouth. I hate them and wish that I had taken better care of my teeth!
I was so proud of myself not having had a cavity since my late 20's or early 30's and not having any missing teeth (many of my peers had a lot of missing teeth early on). When I got to my mid 60's I began to have bone loss. Little by little my teeth fell out on their own, one by one until I was left with only three teeth. This is all on my uppers. My bottom teeth are still in and very strong with no detected bone loss. For the past 2 1/2 years I have been wearing a bridge but, I know that soon those last 3 teeth will give in. I am not happy with the thought of dentures but, it is what it is. I would have loved to have implants but, with bone loss that's impossible, so I have been told, and it makes sense. So I am now just having a mental debate on what to do and what choices to make when that time comes.
Im Sorry ... Plus side is the top dentures are ok . It's the bottoms that fall out and pop out when you talk eat yell or sing. Well the whole process is super tough . I do understand what your going through .
Myrna, there are many options with bone augmentation nowadays! I am a practicing prosthodontist in the Netherlands and do these surgeries several times per week, working specifically with clients who have bone loss. It is complicated, for sure, but not all hope is lost. I've done full reconstructions with significant bone loss prior to the augmentation and many have been very successful. It is possible ;) Best of luck to you!
My mother was in the same and close to 60 grand later his has new upper her bottoms r fine. It was more because of bone grafts. If you go to mexico its around 20 grand for your whole mouth
The problem is not “needs” or “wants” it’s cost. I have many medical issues with my spine alone and then my teeth started breaking. All of my issues started after gastric bypass which I only chose to do because I was literally dying. I was told if I didn’t have the surgery I would die in a year. My triglycerides alone was over 1200 and no matter how much weight I lost on my own none of my numbers were improving. So there I was 4 years out from surgery I was doing great I was getting my steps in everyday working with a personal trainer and I lost 9 sizes but I was starting to faint a lot, I failed a tilt table test and then I started with debilitating spine issues. So every year since surgery I had to go back in for exploratory surgery to see what was wrong. We found my calcium and vit d levels were very low regardless of how much I took each day. So last December I had to have a spinal fusion in thee lumbar area then a few months later had to have all my teeth removed and now I am not only sitting in immediate dentures I am looking needing further spine surgery as I cannot move but also getting dentures, would love to have the “Mercedes” of dentures but just not affordable at all. And I am only 45 and my doctor has deemed me “permanently” disabled. And on top of disc degenerative disease in my whole spine I am also a few numbers from osteoporosis. So no some of us do not have any options when it comes to what would be best with tooth replacement, and by all means I am not blaming you for that. Great video though very informative and everything my doctor has explained to me as well. And by all means I’m not trying to discourage anyone from any weight loss surgery, I knew the risks and I just fell into the very small percentage of things that go wrong. But without it I would have never got to hold my first grandchild, my grandson is the apple of my eye, I have not been able to pick him up and hold him since he was 2. But overall it was worth it.

Dream Dental Implant Center I would love to do a consult but we have looked at financing but with 1 income this is impossible for us. Thank you so much for your quick response. One day maybe I can afford this but I’m not holding my breath. For now it will be plain old dentures, not ideal and not what I want but it is what I can afford.
Love his prospective. No only what is an option - also what is a possible break and additional over time expenses. You are the best - this is a big decision in many ways - comfort, price, use, cost over time etc.. So you have to hear different aspects of all the options
I had my teeth removed back in the early 90s. Had dentures but could never eat with them. I have gone all these years without anything, and now my gums have shrunk. Don't know if implants are worth the money or time. I know I can not use regular dentures.
Hello my friend, a 3-D CT scan will tell us if that’s possible for you. My grandmother had her traditional dentures for over 60 years and I was still able to give her the implants for this procedure. I can answer all your questions at your consultation. Fill this form And we will reach out to you. form.jotform.com/201774375645058
I lost my teeth and right arm due to a flesh eating virus. I'd love to have some implanted or attached teeth but am 68 and on a very low retirement pension. Congratulations to those who can afford new teeth. Blessings to those who can afford solutions and to the doctors who make it possible.
@Jim Yeates Why not do GoFundMe I’ve seen a lot of people do it for things like this and BS stuff. Especially after sharing your story! People would help.
I'm saving about 6,000 dollars by having dental work done at a training facility...and they are very careful about doing a great job. I would recommend this option to people on a lower budget.
After orthodontistry at 13 years old requiring the loss of four good teeth my current teeth are now just as crooked as before and pretty off white. If I smile it looks like I have a missing tooth thanks to a broken one. I look after my teeth and haven't had a filling since I was 18 years old. My mother at 90 has all her teeth so I hope I have her genetics. Watching this has made me appreciate my teeth even though they are ugly. A least I don't have the problem of what is in this video to contend with.
I had squamous cell carcinoma in my tonsil on the left side. With the radiation that I have been through, 35 rounds, i’ve come to the understanding that implants are not the best solution for me. I’ve been told that drilling into my bone tissue would be a bad idea because of the healing process. I don’t think I have a choice but to get dentures, so I guess my question is, is there a denture on the market that has a slight cut away so that you can reveal more of your taste buds?

My partial has 4 teeth on it and it’s after breaking 5 times in 1 1/2. It’s really pissing me of cause I’m without teeth for a while. I think it’s time to consider other options. Thank you for such a great video explaining everything..
I wish there would be a way to completely eliminate tooth decay. I have to work hard for my money. I live through the pain of abscesses. I just cant afford their multi- million dollar homes.
So, when people do NOT take care of their mouths/teeth and suffer the consequences, then it’s time to blame Dentistry for perceived high costs. It’s funny that somehow most folks will go out and purchase a new car which nowadays costs over 30K, but have a fit when they see the costs involved in trying to obtain what they’ve lost from years of neglect. It costs a whole lot of money to get through college and then dental school and then a ton of money to equip a dental office as well. Overhead in dentistry is large and it costs a lot to run a dental practice. It is difficult work and often not really appreciated due to a lack of value for what modern Dentistry has to offer. DDS
@@jeromesmith1432 i have a genetic condition which will eliminate all my teeth in the next decade...i work hard but defintely cannot afford the 50k i was told it was gonna cost
@@jeromesmith1432 hmmm. I took amazing care of my teeth. I was the girl who would light up the room with her smile. Then I got cancer. Chemo ruined my teeth.

1- complete acrylic upper dentures are very well tolerated when made correctly, easily 80%+ people will manage just fine with one - a lower is different and a complete lower denture will likely be poorly tolerated and implants would be recommended by me also 2- the bone will resorb the same regardless of whether implants are present or not, only bio implants can prevent this which are still experimental so that point is irrelevant 3- taste is barely affected by covering the palate there are no taste buds on the palate, some people get a strong plastic taste but most don’t, and a cobalt chrome base can be used if the thickness or taste of the acrylic is an issue This is clearly a video designed to upsell the most expensive prosthetics and as a general rule start with the most minimal treatment that is usually the cheapest and see if you can manage before spending very large sums of money
Thank you Harry, Very good information. I do not try to upsell the most expensive, but I definitely encourage what I believe have the best results and keep the patients happy. With the zirconia choice, you don't have teeth that pop off or cracks or broken device. With regular maintenance and cleaning, any of these options can make anyone happier then having no teeth or infections. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Yes this is a video for the rich and to make everyone else feel like shit because they don't have $25,000 or more laying around or in their cookie jar. PLAIN and simple. This guy is a joke.
@@patriotcountry4716 Tsk, c'mon - that is certainly not his intent, and he is not a joke. Dr. H helpfully presented the pros and cons of each approach; one of the best and most thorough presentations that I've seen. I agree that dental prosthetics are exorbitantly expensive, but Dr. H isn't responsible for how much these things cost.
@@patriotcountry4716 It is expensive to get the best solution but the difference is amazing. I went from upper and lower dentures which I hated for all of the reasons explained to having 6 implants upper and lower with zirconia in London. It cost me £23,000/$31,000 and for the price of a car it's changed my life.
I lost most of my teeth from domestic violence. I had such a beautiful smile and metal braces for four years. I brushed a lot always had dental floss on hand. I hope one day to be fortunate enough to have a nice smile again. Thank you for sharing this video.
I saw program for women who were victims of domestic violence. That restores their smile for them. For free I am sorry I can’t remember the name of it. My husband was verbally abusive not physically. You deserve beautiful confident smile. Try Google and see if you can type in. Democratic violence and smile restoration. Or call domestic violence support group or another organizations. That do things like that. I am really sorry that I can’t remember the name.
Oh wow! I’m in Denver- my 4 on 4 posts, including complete tooth removal, bone marrow implant & shaving my upper mouth- is upwards of $80K for full procedure. It’s been over 7 weeks; my pulled teeth still throb, under my temporaries-I can’t sleep, exercise, or even hv an appetite. I feel yet again let down by the very best “rated/reviewed “ docs in our greater area. I’m steaming. I wasn’t offered these options. Grrr
There is absolutely NO justifiable reason for this ridiculous cost. I can buy a CAR for EACH of my four teenage grandchildren for the same cost. Tell me how that makes sense. I'm sorry you are having trouble. This world is not right. Not once have I seen one of these doctors justify the outrageous expense. Not once.
Thanks for this info. However, I hope you do relay the info to your patients that even with the best of implants... Bone still deteriorates, and all those thousands spent on posts in their mouths, may just have to come out if they continue to have bone loss. Also, the body can reject anything implanted, so there are risks.
So glad to help! It is so important that people have the information they need to make the best decisions that can for themselves! Let us know if you would like in to see us. Thanks for watching!
Hey Michelle can you tell me how much you have to pay for the consultation? When the Dentist I spoke with by phone quoted me the price for consultation I was shocked! Thanking you in advance for your help! Also for the Xray!
@@chelebear1823 Consultations should 100% free. I had 12 consults before deciding on New Me in Houston. Every consult I had was free. Don't pay for a consultation!

I’m having this done in September. Estimated price for all on 4 including customization, $54,000. I’m only 36, but I have an auto immune disease that has caused my teeth to basically be destroyed from the inside out. Had I just done this 10 years ago they would have paid for themselves already.
Do you mind if I ask how you're paying for them now? I'm the same age and I need minimally all new upper teeth, only I can't even fathom how to pay for $25k let alone almost $60k. I got this way due to extreme depression and 9-years of braces that trashed my enamel. It's devastating thinking how much longer I have before my health gives out due to my diet changing greatly, which of course leads me right back the the cause of this situation. I can't see how so many can afford this process without already being financially set :(.
Turkey priced $8000 same work if not better do your research a lot of people are going out the country to have these procedures the prices in the U.S. is ridiculous
Awesomeness. I’m just wearing Invisalign for 2 years now i try to keep brushing and flossing even tho I’m tired 😪 after cooking all day and work cus these implants or dental cosmetics are expensive i wouldn’t be able to afford it wow 😯
Great video ! But one question , do we taste food with our tongue papillae 👅 or palate? I understand the mastication process is not the same but since we taste food with our tongue that shouldn’t be a problem , but for sure less is more sometimes and to keep our palate free from that acrylic is the best but not everybody can afford implants+ dentures. There are people who adapt their self pretty good to the conventional dentures - depends of the patients ability and economic disponilility too
Great Question. We actually have most of the taste buds on the tongue, but also taste cells in the back of your throat, on your epiglottis (that flap of cartilage in the mouth at the back of the tongue), your nose and sinuses, all the way down the throat to the upper part of the esophagus.
I'm a retired dental hygienist and I would suggest that people who are still working and have some dental insurance consider this as a long-term strategy: If you're told you need a root canal, ask the dentist if an implant and crown could be done instead. A tooth with a root canal becomes brittle over time, will need a crown to prevent breakage, and very well still may break eventually. I saw this many times during my career. That will necessitate a buildup and crown and maybe a redo of the root canal. That's if there's enough tooth left for it to be saved. Consider proactively looking into replacing that tooth with an implant and crown. For people who were not blessed with good teeth, this may prepare them to more easily move into implant-supported dentures later on in life. It would cost more initially but in the long term would save money, time, and discomfort.
Crowns are trouble caus3rs. U cannoT keep the rtooth nub iyt is glued to clean enuf and u get plaque. Decay. It doesn,t show on the ck.up xrays. Avoid crowns. They need to be removable. They only have a life of 1 decade did u know?
@Bonnie Brown Thank you for that suggestion, you're and Angel, yes I had have crowned and lost the filling and tooth just chipped away! When I was young first pregnancy, I was vomiting for 7 month, and couldn't swallowed my saliva, made me vomit, so going to sleep had to put candy both side of mouth so I can swallow my saliva and slept! Those candies have consequenses !
Wish my dentist understood this. I had an eating disorder for a decade and destroyed my teeth. He is SO determined to do root canals and crowns and has done 2 already. Theres 1 or 2 more due. We've already extracted two back molars for implants after braces. He adjusted my bite and I've been having insane sensitivity to cold. I can't chew well at all. And honestly all this is making me regret going in. My teeth hold me back so much. And I just want to eat normally, but im so afraid of ending up in dentures.
I am in the middle of an all-on-6 process, I've had the teeth removed and I am now healing. I've watched your argument for zirconia and watched others argue against the weight of zirconia and they also say that they CAN break easily under the wrong conditions. I haven't received the abutments yet but wonder how much your zirconia arches cost.
Can I ask you how much it cost you? Also when you say “all on 6” is that the kind that are considered “permanent” dentures where they snap into place? Also are you having top and bottom done?
I was quoted around $34k for a full mouth restoration. Full upper all on 4 bridge and full lower all on 4 bridge. Have been very depressed trying to figure out how the hell I was going to pay for it! I can’t even eat food that’s harder than bread. It’s not only extremely embarrassing the judgement I get from my teeth but my health has been horrible and I miss eating even just an apple! So depressing! I’m currently in the process of making an appointment in Mexico where I’ll be getting everything I need for $10k!!!!! Only wish I knew years ago 🥺
@@andyward8430 I am having both arches, top and bottom. $31K was the cost for removal of the last 14 teeth, bone grafts, sinus lift, abutments, and of course both arches.
I have full dentures on top and a partial on the bottom. I saved 5 regular teeth to anchor my bottom and now those have broke nuff at the gum line and there’s no money. I just have to live with it this way. It wouldn’t be so bad if the infections weren’t so constant. Dental is prohibitively expensive. If the infections continue, I guess I’ll pull themselves out as I have to. There are no choices.
Yes there is Google low income dental care for adults. Type the state you live in. They should give you lists of dentists. That charge based on income. This is how I found my dentist. I had infection spread to the bone in my jaw. Since I wasn’t in pain I didn’t realize it. Now it has spread to another tooth. Please don’t wait too long. These infections can kill you. Find someone to help you. I hope you feel better soon.
There are so many different variables on each person for their procedure. This is the reason we offer a Consultation including the CT scan. Dr Hendriks would be able to take a look at it and give you options after evaluating your bone and sinuses. We would love to meet you and hear your story. Please give us a call if you’d like to know more. We can also give you a virtual consultation for out of state patients.

Robert Terrill I can certainly relate! Root canals, crowns after years of fillings etc.and breakage...Most out of pocket, and when unable, suffering with abscesses. Dentists did not take payments, and public health options pulled teeth only. The U.S. System of "health care" ignores the extreme importance of dental health.
@@screeningmimi I'm currently living with a person who is suddenly losing most of his teeth due to a medical condition. He's only 30 years old. He's going to get the bad dentures, that is all we can afford. Years of heavy saving would maybe compensate all-on-four dentures. The prices are ridiculous in my country, and there is no insurance for anyone beyond 19 years old. Medical conditions that break your teeth may give you 20 dollars of dentist credit a year. That surely helps a whole lot :D
@@helenTW exactly. Chemo ruined mine. I had a smile that everyone commented on. Not any more. Masks are my saving grace. When it's off, it's hand over my mouth. lol.
This video is super informative! I have the All-on-4 and it’s just game changing. I have Ivoclar’s Phonares teeth in my hybrid and not only do they look real, they feel real compared to what I previously had. The teeth are sharp, rather than rounded and dull like my previous teeth. I’ve also never broken a tooth off in these. I do have a titanium bar, as well. But zirconia are amazing.
@@implantsecrets This is great info but for most of the world it’s just a pipe dream. I live with this issues, Im a domestic violence survivor living with multiple medical conditions, Lupus, thalassemia, doctors now saying I may have been misdiagnosed & I have MS… kidney disease,the list goes on,and some of my conditions are the direct result of the abuse I endured. My point is, my teeth have suffered because of this all. I was in a motorcycle accident,dragged 85-90 feet down the road pinned under a Harley,my head,& the entire left side of me bounced and dragged down the road that whole way.I was spitting out teeth,though I lost half my face. Yet my insurance wouldn’t help me even cover caps. It’s hard enough trying to rebuild your life when you escape a severely traumatic relationship,but when it’s also left you scared it’s almost impossible to find yourself again. Just wondering if you guys, or if you guys know of any dentists in the entire country,because I’d travel, who offer payment plans? For the All-on-4? Anything to help have a normal life again. Thank you so much for your time. 🙏🏻

A well built denture and properly taken care of gum will last you over 15 years. I have had dentures since 21 and have only had 3 sets. Proper care of your gums are far more important. I have only slight slippage in my gums but I brush my gums every time.
When I finally decided to do something about my misaligned bite I asked my dentists about all-on-4. They insisted it would get things stuck underneath and that I should go for all molars crowned and veneers on the front to match. Either way would have been expensive but crowns and veneers were double. I did as they recommended. I’m still paying the credit card bill, and will be for a total of 8 years.
As of 2018 approximately, 4 on 4 is being totally, rightfully replaced. You would get 'stuff' underneath. Cleanable, maybe with 'Waterpik/& Time'. That's After paying 10K $.

We're glad you're so content with your dentures! As you can imagine, we mostly see patients who have not adapted well to dentures, so we often hear the other side, people who are in pain or uncomfortable. Thanks for watching!
I’m with you I have Dentures to and taste all of my food and eat what I want. That implant procedure is more than 30,000 I don’t want to spend that kind of money...
dentistry nowadays has moved from promoting better health in teeth to marketing aesthetically pleasing tooth. that's why "implant" with nail on became a thing. its a fake tooth anyway? why does it cost over a bomb?
I'm on set six from 5 different denturists. Not one pair has fit. I gave up and dremel'd my current pair to shape and lined the with thermo to make an accurate direct impression. The set isn't awesome, but at least they partially sit in my mouth now.
This is a definite goal. I make videos to help other denture wearers. However, implants are my end game. This is the way I would go! Great job Doctor. Keep up the good work!
@@jesuslovesyou8280 I don't know if you'd been fortunate enough to get some dentures yet, but there is kits that you can buy online to make your own at home, and video's on you tube to show you how. the kits run around $100.00. there your basic denture, and will save you several hundred dollars. the kits come with everything you need, and are a true dental appliance. not just cosmetic. they're very much the same as to what many people have already. However, if you can afford to let a professional dentist set you up. you should be better off. most of them make a mold, then create a wax denture, you come back in a week or so after your mold is made, then they try them in your mouth for a fitting. when you have them fit perfect, and you're happy with how they look. they send to to a company that takes the wax denture, and create a true denture for you. the dentist can then readjust as needed when getting the final fitting. A dentist will usually charge between $700.00 to $11,000.00. I hope this information helps, Peace..

Doc, taste buds on the roof of your mouth? I have practiced dentistry for 33 years and have never heard of taste buds on the roof of you mouth. The rest of the info is accurate. You loose the texture sensativity blocking the roof of you mouth but not taste. The taste buds are all limited to the dorsal and lateral surfces of your tongue.
So, if I’m correct, you’re saying that the roof of the mouth, which aids in taste, remains the same? Do you loose sensitivity in the roof of the mouth? I do know that I lost feeling in a part of my tongue when a wisdom tooth was extracted . I suppose it had something to do with the nerve that runs along the teeth. When feeling did return, I had a tremendous amount of burning and tingling in that area. That was 25 years ago and while it improved it never completely went away. Can work from implants affect you in the same way? I’m assuming the upper has a similar nerve. When God created us, He certainly created a complex and intricate creature! 😊

I lost all but 7 of my teeth due to cancer and cancer treatments and I’m sure that I will lose them as well. NO dentures work for me. The dentists that works with me say that my gums aren’t “ long enough” and therefore not enough gums to hold a denture in place. Dental implants are my only hope and I absolutely cannot afford them. I understand that doctors deserve to be paid well, but there should be a cap to many procedures as well as the price you pay for medicines. I am also a professional singer, but not a superstar. My life depends on my work and I cannot sing without my teeth.

My jaw was brokenand i ended up with an infection so had the rest of my teeth removed. ive lived without my most of my teeth for a long time now......i could never afford these costs but i always come back to youtube and watch videos about it.
Dentist here. I disagree about cost of relines. Overdenture on snap-ons is the easiest to keep clean, especially for seniors with declining dexterity. Zirconia, being the hardest "can take so much more pressure". If the terminal brunch is too strong the breakdown moves to a higher level: sore muscles, TMJ, opposing teeth wear etc. The amount of build up under the screw-retained denture is big, especially for people whose oral hygiene was low to start with (that's how they loose teeth). One professional removal of screwed denture will be more expensive than a reline. Good visual presentation. Thank you. But the advice has to always be customized to each individual.
@@ninjacat4929 FACT. the way your food tastes when the roof of your mouth is covered by a chunk of plastic is absolutely different than if not covered. I unfortunately know this all too well!!!!
All of my teeth have broken at the gum line. I only have 2 caps in my mouth, along with my broken teeth. In the last 10 years my all of my teeth have broken off. I literally have 2 caps that are preventing my mouth from totally sinking in. I wish the removal of my broken teeth and getting new ones was reasonably priced. Being on disability, my income is very limited. I don't even go out of my house or to any family functions bc I am so embarrassed. I even missed my daughter's wedding last year. They need to make getting teeth more affordable for people like me.
I can’t even eat most foods with my dentures. I have to leave my bottom dentures out because they hurt so much. I had to get dentures when they punctured a hole in my colon in 2010 and I was on life support and in a coma for 3 weeks and when the took the life support off they pulled the backs of almost all of my teeth. I ended up having to get dentures. Of course the doctors wouldn’t pay anything because I signed a consent form letting them do the colonoscopy. I had to have a colonoscopy because they left a surgical sponge in me in 1994 so I have had to have regular colonoscopies since then. I am now a widow and can’t afford implants and I don’t even know if I can even wear them.
Here is one of my great video for you that explains cost. Without actually seeing a CT scan from you, I wouldn’t be able to give you any cost. ** Top 10 Cost (Short) ua-cam.com/video/69tDVbhJCJo/v-deo.html
Very interesting. I have broken a tooth on my titanium bar one. I found this missing information about the initial cost of each type of hybrid. But I did not know there was such a variety in the types.
The cost of all on 4 dentures here in Australia 🇦🇺 are around $27,000 for each denture. That's why alot of people here travel overseas to get the work done. It is a complete rip off here in Australia.
Everyone wants price first, but people don't understand why its not good to throw out pricing. There is a lot that goes into planning these procedures and deciding best options for the individual patient. I would love to meet you so I can give you a 3D Ct scan and see how I can help you.

What a wonderful educational video. I and many others who are into the teeth problem s will love you for real. Highly recommended materiel and truly honest opinion. Thank you Dream Dental !!
I liked your analogy with the printer ink and the maintenance of snap in over-dentures, I was thinking of going down that route, but I shall now have a re-think. And thanks for explaining the difference between acrylic and zirconia dentures. ( all on 4 ).
I'm living the snap-in reality, and I get my retention caps replaced annually. $60. yearly. My ACTUAL printer ink costs me more than that. I'm in my 4th year with the snap-ins and honestly, if I could afford a BMW, I'd buy the zirconia option. But I drive a Honda for a reason. C'est la vie.
I went to a implant dentist and was told $72,000! How do these people sleep at night?! I’m going Monday for snap in dentures for the upper and my cost after what insurance pays is $4,200! And this includes a crown and one implant. Affordable Dentures!!
I’m sure this is crazy expensive. I need to do something because I use my teeth as a second hand. I’ve had several pulled already over the years and another one just a few days ago. I know I need several more that need to be. I’m so scared to only be able to get regular dentures and try and use them to help me do day to day things and have them fall out on me. I lost my arm years ago when I was 18 (turned 19 in the hospital) and use my teeth for many things.
Going in for my consult today to remove 9 uppers and have a denture. This video helped a lot. I hope I can afford the good one... this is very traumatic for me
I don’t want any kind of Metal in my mouth especially going into my bones, that eventually goes into your system slowly , what causes all kinds of different diseases ,
So... Here is my questions. The dentist said i have periodontal disease and that my teeth are sitting on quicksand (referring to my gums). I already lost my lower 2 front teeth due to gum and bone loss and my gums keep receding. They were talking about doing surgerys to restore the gums to try to save the other teeth, but...is it more cost effective to just pull them all and get one of these considering that the surgery wont cure the disease? Also, If i took out all my teeth now and got either one of these, will that stop the gums and bones from getting worse? Or will it never go away? Also, if i did implants, would that also defeat the purpose because those too would be on "quicksand"? What options do i have? I currently have to cut up my food/sandwiches cause i cant bite anything off with my front teeth so im looking for the best solution. Any advice would be great. Thanks.
My friend just paid for the upper dental $23,000.00 dollars she is 74 year old. I hope than whe she past nobody still her upper denture. I think that is a ridiculous price.
I just got new dentures and I absolutely hate them. The top denture makes me gag, I can’t taste any food flavors and I have to use “ Fix a dent” to keep my top denture in place. Now as for my bottom one, I have a post on each side where my “eye teeth “ were… Well one of my posts is higher than the other and I can literally take the bottom teeth off the posts with my tongue. I hate that I even made the decision to get them. I have a long story of dental issues because I was a premature baby. I wish I would have known more information about all the types of teeth replacement like you showed before I did the traditional dentures. Thank you for the information you provided in your video. To bad I’am stuck with the ones I have. I literally hate them. Sincerely, Bethe Stewart
They need to make implants more affordable for everyone in the world.. everyone deserves to feel confident in themselves 💕
Implants have huge health risks in old age, as we lose bone mass and life expectancy grows longer. Especially for those with risk of osteoporosis, but it is a natural part of aging for everyone. See the casec9f famous American Actor Dick Van Dyke, who has lived into his 90s and suffered grave problems and excrutiating pain with his implants in old age.
You are right, we take precautions before taking on any cases. We always do a health analysis and blood work. We always want to make sure the possibility of great success for the patient. Thanks for watching!
@@implantsecrets What is your reply to the fact that implants have huge health risks in old age, as we lose bone mass and life expectancy grows longer? Especially so for those with risk of osteoporosis, but bone loss is a natural part of aging for EVERYONE. Will the bone implants come loose or shift, and cause pain or fractures? See the case of famous American Actor Dick Van Dyke, who has lived into his 90s and suffered grave problems and excrutiating pain with his implants in old age. I would like to know.
@@ana419 Very valid concern, There are a lot of factors that go into the treatment of implants. The biggest factor is the health of the patient. This is something that we can not count on. Yes it is true that an implant can become loose. This could be due to bone loss, which can be for underlying factors in the patients health, as well as from poor hygiene. (regular maintenance to your dentist for cleaning can help with this.) Pain could be caused from infections or allergy to the titanium. That being said, the American Dental Association and the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, maintain that titanium-based dental implants are a safe and long-term solution for missing teeth however, suggests that patients with chronic illnesses, like diabetes, may not be suitable candidates for the implants. The AAOMS does not mention metal allergies or the potential for side effects from dental implants. I would ask your primary care doctor to do MELISA (Memory Lymphocyte Immunostimulation Assay) test to check for a titanium allergy before getting dental implants. I hope this helps.
@@implantsecrets Thank you. Yes, this helps. However, my main concern is EXCLUSIVELY about the natural bone loss that occurs in old age, as well as that process being accelerated in patients with osteoporosis. Life expectancy keeps expanding, so how are most of the thousands or millions today, being actively encouraged to get dental implants, going to be when the implants start coming loose from bone loss, between the excruciating pain and the damage to their bones?
What remedies will there be for them if implants are permanent and irremovable, and even if they were removable, that their bones have become brittle, susceptible to fracture with age, and will not grow back?
And associated risks (infections, organ damage from chronic painkillers and antibiotics, inoperability due to age, etc.)
I am astonished that no dental professionals will directly address this ONE very obvious risk on the horizon of a patient's life. I keep getting answers that deviate or over-generalize.
I swear if I had it my way I would bless a few people a year with the best option out there. People just don't know what an effect ur teeth plays on ur whole life. Not just as far as eating and looking better but the mental and emotional strain as well. To all of us out there I wish nothing but the best!!
Thank you my friend, that has always been my dream. Thanks for watching!
Thank you. I think you really sound like a really good decent person.
Thank you 🙏
I completely agree!! It’s so unaffordable for most people 😢 and it makes a huge difference in our lives
I wish i could be blessed to fix my teeth, i work 60hrs a week taking care if my family. I forgot what smiling feels like😕
For those like me who say I wish I had taken better care of my teeth please listen to me, If bad teeth runs in the family, you can brush and floss all day you will still end up getting dentures.
Good hygiene is always a healthy way to prolong having your natural teeth. Yes some people are unfortunate to have the hereditary background for teeth problems. But if you are one of these people, don’t give up and stop taking care of your teeth. Infections are very dangerous and good hygiene can help prevent them. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thank you.
I too considered the role of inheritance. I learned that the thickness of the enamel is inherited and that determines how well the enamel holds up to certain foods. Small jawbone plus early arrival of wisdom teeth can result in crooked, crowded teeth. But good oral hygiene is important for more than just preserving the health of one's teeth.
And chemo destroys the teeth. First hand knowledge talking.
It can also have a lot to do with estrogen levels during pregnancy or things like insulin resistance and diabetes, all of which can have a genetic component. When doctors speak to their patients, they tend to leave out sharing the effects that certain conditions can have on your teeth, gums, and the production of saliva or even the PH in the mouth. Such things often aren't mentioned with it comes to side effects of medications either. SO MANY things can contribute to issues with teeth.
Well, we would all get implants if you guys wouldn't charge as much as an automobile for them. Your prices are insane!
We see a lot of progress in dentistry; the only problem is only a few people can afford the cost.
When you consider not only your healthy smile, eating what you want, but also getting you self confidence back! This will change lives. Thanks for watching!
@@Eric-cy8tt Congratulations Eric! Best decisions you will ever make. I will improve your confidence and self worth a ton! Thanks for watching my friend!
@@implantsecrets I feel the same way about self confidence and living normal again. My dentist suggested the snap In Denture vs all on four due to cleaning them. Should I find a new dentist ?
@@truckchuck5601 Not necessarily, If a dentist is not familiar with the all on 4 procedure, or doesn't provide implant surgeries, he may be suggesting something that he prefers to provide or less expensive to help in you price range.

Dentistry is as expensive as getting any kind of surgery these days. Why Don't dentist lobby to have coverage built into medical insurance?
After consulting with a dental expert about the possibilities and hearing the prices, I realized they are indeed, just a dream.
Seriously. The prices for these appliances are crazy. Just look at them! You would think that they were made of platinum or moon rocks and required something on the level of neurosurgery to justify the charges.
m 35 just hd a partial plate put in 'standard denture' that was 2 grand alone
@@wayfordford4889 It is outlandish. I've had a fair amount of dental work done over the years, and the prices have just gone up and up over time. Even a cleaning was once $40, and now it's more like $200. It's not like the work is always guaranteed to last either. You can plunk down a thousand dollars easily, and end up needing more expensive work done on the same tooth a couple of years later. It's not like all dentists do quality work either. And no one has ever been able to explain why something so small as a crown or implant costs as it does. You would think that, as technology advances, things would become more affordable. I talked to one guy...he wanted $35,000 PER ARCH for full mouth dental implants. Anyhow, sorry about the rant. This has always been a sticking point for me- like the cost for college tuition! Maybe that's part of the problem- dentists have to go to expensive dental school.
I hope that plate gives you many years of service. : )
@@wayfordford4889 I got quoted £6000 for top and bottom partial dentures - and that was 10 years ago. Needless to say I said no thanks and stuck with my NHS el cheapo dentures - which are still going strong.
@@Pythonaria hi do you have a denture on the bottom ? If so, how is it ?
@@jeanne819 I found the bottom denture to be good. It is a partial so I had some of my own teeth to hold it in place. My partials are long overdue to be replaced and one of my natural lower teeth has become loose so the partial can lift from time to time. It's the top partial I don't get on with so well as it covers the roof of my mouth. It's still a good fit though. Being honest, I only wear the partials when I'm eating or if I go out. As soon as I come home, in the denture bath they go.
Implants were never a consideration. Too much bone loss and far too expensive (I'm in the UK) plus I'm the world's biggest coward when it comes to anything dental. You would think in this day and age with all the new materials available that they could come up with a better, more comfortable design that won't break the bank.
I’m currently 53 & had nearly perfect teeth & gums up until the age of 40. Only had one small filling in my entire mouth & had my wisdom teeth pulled in my early 20’s.
In the early fall of 2009, At around 6am I was riding my Harley into work on a somewhat windy country road. It was the sunrise following the full blood moon. Went around a tight blind corner & on the other side of the bend was an entire herd of deer. I had to make a split second decision to choose my pain, hopefully using the path of least resistance. I ended up going through a fence & landed in a ditch. I believe that decision saved my life that day.
My only actual injury other than minor scrapes and bruises was to my face and mouth. I did not have the wind guard on my Harley so my face broke the top of the fence. I lost several teeth & broke & cracked all the remaining top teeth. Also had damage to a few of my lower teeth.
My dental insurance from work was a complete joke. Paid 50% for basic extractions. Only covered Novocain, any other type of anesthesia like laughing gas I had to pay for in full.
Since it was more important to me to provide a roof & proper food for my 2 daughters & I was a single parent who did not receive any child support. At my full time job I earned just over the cap so did not to qualify for any assistance. Suffered like that for approx 7 years. During that time I had a couple extracted due to severe abscesses that required over a week of antibiotics ahead of time before getting pulled.
I had friends suggest to me I should quit my job or ask to be laid off or purposely get myself fired just so I could get at least some minimal repairs done. I refused to be that kind of role model to my kids.
After both my daughters had become adults & moved out to their own homes I decided to get my class A license. Drive an 18 wheeler, see the entire country & get paid to do it. I saved up a nice tidy sum of $10k plus had one of the top plans with Delta Dental. Went to a dentist that actually was recommended to me by a few of my truck driver friends. I honestly thought The nightmare of my mouth was finally going to be over.
The Dentist quoted me over $50k for the cheapest implants so I had to go with reg dentures. More appointments than I could count over a year & a half. Final result, after maxing out my insurance for both years & over $15k from me I had high end dentures that were never fitted right. They caused immediate severe pain as soon as they were in my mouth. The Dentist kept telling me that he could adjust them and they would eventually fit comfortably. After weekly appointments for the adjustments over almost almost 6 months I finally had to give up. Two years of my life & paid more money than I've ever saved in my entire life.
Continued to wear the temporary dentures that were fitted the day of my major oral surgery. All my remaining top teeth & all the damaged bottom teeth were pulled. Years later I'm still using the temps doing a dyi realign every couple months.
My mouth is in Constant pain. I always have sores somewhere in my mouth & ive Also developed CHEITIS that is so painful at times that I'm unable to eat. I also drool uncontrollably which is extremely embarrassing. My youngest daughters husband Refuses to even eat any meals with me because the state of my mouth and the way I have to eat grosses him out. My face now looks like I'm 10 years older than I am.
What completely frustrates the hell out of me to the point of complete anger is not one dentist that does any ad for dental implants is actually willing to state any price ranges. I’m sick of hearing “come on into the office for a consult. I’ve even heard a few ads that excitingly states that thay have really dropped in price & still never actually give any price ranges whatsoever 🤬
I can't allow myself to get my hopes up again just to most likely be completely ripped off again & my mouth get even worse. If that is even possible.
I'm actually glad I work as a truck driver So I spend over 90% of my time alone.
Dentists that charge almost the same price for implants as someone will pay for a house to live in & make payments over 15+ years to pay off should be ashamed of themselves. No one I know could ever Come up with that kind of money to pay up front for a dental procedure That may or may not work for them.
Dentistry should be considered a medical expense and covered under a persons medical insurance!!!
Trish I’m really sorry that you’ve had horrible experience with other dentists. Pricing is some thing that I have a whole little video about but I’ve been talking pricing openly for sometime now. Subscribe to my channel when I go live or because I talked about this often. My average price without any special consideration or agreement is 30k per jaw for zirconia. 25k for titanium. 20k for Snapin dentures. ❤️❤️❤️
The day is coming when these blood suckers are going to lose this war,someone they charged huge is going to invent a better
Cheaper way then implants, just because of all these horror stories,someone will market a product that cuts into these teeth overpriced luxury ,and
Because they some how were affected he's she's goi g to tell all these overpriced teeth
We're the cause of there demise,iam not against my dentist and
The standards used, only about price.massed produced using new
Materal one day every one is going to have perfect teeth,that day is coming.having all the money in the world
One day that's going to be a stone around there neck if they make
It were they could have perfect teeth were everyone can enjoy that person will be a hero hero status to all the kid all the elderly,right now it's just pissing every one off or there going to get elected prisident if
They say everyone can eat a turkey if you vote me into office.
@@rogernegrete4680 Thanks for watching Roger!
Just like Wes Wayne, and because I'm a single Mama myself- I went to Affordpable Dentures and I was only able to afford the 2k dentures, but I'm beyond happy with them. Well the top denture fits like a glove and I've never liked adhesives so I've never been a fan of using them. Literally - I've had this set for 10 years and never used glue on the top and still people who have known me for years are shocked to find out that I've got dentures at all. The lowers have not been as kind, I do have to use an adhesive with the bottoms but I've grown used to it. I'd love to have implants since I'm only 38, but I'm just not comfortable spending that much money over that many years that I could end up regretting cuz I've never heard of a lifetime warranty for gany type of denture or implant. Best of luck to you, but maybe you could type up your story and make copies but include a request for pro Bono work or a discount in exchange for word of mouth advertising and/or before after pics to show their patients to drum up business. I had a friend who plead my case to a few doctors because everytime I was pregnant - my unborn child caused several vitamin deficiencies and I've had to have my mouth/teeth completely overhauled 3 times before opting for dentures this last time. Finally a dentist in the next town over agreed to revamp my smile right after my daughter was born but he agreed to do all the work for what my insurance would cover and a before and after photo release and he'd given me a stack of business cards to hand out. He was an old hippy and so generous!! Just ideas to look into. God bless
@@aheight84 Thanks for sharing your story, and for watching!
I have regular Dentures. I am so happy with them !!!! My teeth gradually got worse after having kids. Had to have some pulled. I finally decided to go to Dentures. I'm sooo glad I did. I can eat corn on the cob and apples. I haven't had to have mine realigned. Don't let a dentist talk u into expensive implants or drilling posts into ur jaw bone. To attach a denture. I am Very Satisfied with my Dentures and I don't use goopy putty to hold them in place. If u get a good fitting denture u will b so thankful u took the step into Dentures. No more spending lots of money on root canals , caps, fillings,or on partials. I went that route and finally had my teeth pulled and got Dentures. I wish I had before I spent thousands of dollars. I'm very happy with my plain old Dentures. Oh yeah. Don't believe that crap they tell u about Dentures block your tasting ur food. That's a lie !!!! Your taste buds r on your tongue !!! And ur tongue is not covered by your Dentures. I fully taste all my food , and sometimes I wish it didn't. That way I might loose some weight cause I wouldn't enjoy the taste of my food . But again I can fully taste everything I eat !!! And I truly enjoy it. So if ur teeth r bad, go to Dentures and u will b so happy u aren't dealing with tooth aches and dentists drills and spending thousands trying to save bad teeth. My dentist tried to talk me out of it too. But I was a money maker for him. Once I got my Dentures, he could not make thousands of dollars off me. If u feel u don't want to deal with bad teeth anymore don't let a dentist talk u out of it. I took the leap and so happy I did. The decision is yours.
What Dentist did you go to?
Dentures for me are in no way better than my all on 4
me too I have upper and lower on 4 implant posts top and bottom. I can taste great and not a lot of problems except adjustments in the beginning. I am now looking to replace 13 year old worn dentures. Yes over the years I had repairs due to cracks from eating ice or nuts or something and eventually your jaw shrinks so the fit changes. You can reline yourself with over the counter products. I knew nothing about zirconia or other stuff my old dentures were very nice but now I will look into less old school approach they had back in 2009 when I had top and bottom teeth extracted. It was not that big of an ordeal but fear of course was a big issue. I did have some kind of sedation which put me out of it for the extractions. Many dentists now specialize in sedation.
nice to hear another perspective- thank you
Encouraging words, tired of making the dentist's mortgage payment...
I've never understood why so many people make fun of those who "need" false teeth, but usually those same people have nothing bad to say about those who "want" something like breast implants. 🤔 May Karma be swift and give them a toothache! Sadly most people who need false teeth usually live paycheck to paycheck.
Implated fake b.s are cheaper by faaaar.
Wrongo, dude! i haven't any Numbers...But, a large % 'lose their teeth' to 'Gum disease' particularly *Dry Mouth*, cause by Many *Common* prescription Meds. U 'may' have 'it' partly right of course! In 2022 *Post donnie$$* "Sadly, most of those people *Must* live 'Soc. Sec.'' 'welfare' or "Unemployment" LOL, 'cheque to cheque' They cannot buy Food!!
So, 'Teeth' of Any sort, unnecessary ...period
Very well said 🥰
I agree it’s called karma. Everyone is different so don’t make fun of ppl who are different than you. No one is perfect
You are so right. I person who feels good about themselves carry themselves better and value themselves. A good smile, and confidence goes a long way in finding a good paying job. I am sad that a lot of people with no fault of their own have a less than perfect smile, no person should have to go their whole life feeling less than they are. Thanks for watching Norman.
I have full dentures and no problems here. I'm able to taste my food just fine. Its better to get the bad teeth out so you never have a toothache again. Its better to invest in some type of dentures than dealing with toothaches and swollen gums. I invested in dentures and its been the best investment I ever made.
Thank you for sharing! I am happy that you had a good experience! Thanks for watching!
I am 3 1/2 weeks new to my upper denture. I had no idea of the recovery until now. Hearing that you can still taste you good, how long did that take?
What place did you go to? My husband and I are having a terrible time with I'll fitted dentures! Need to find a good place to go. Thx, much!
My mother wore dentures for 40 years and had no trouble at all with them, in fact she only visited a dentist
once after 30 years to have them relined. However they were made by a very expert dentist and cost quite
a lot of money.
,
My mother also but that's before they cheapened them. My mom's teeth were made of porcelain and metal while today they use PLASTIC. Big difference.
Implants dents a 100.000$
Just 3 weeks ago I got a full set of dentures after having all my remaining teeth out and I absolutely love them-to me well worth the money. No they aren't for everyone and people will always give their opinions good or bad but for me I have nothing bad to say about them.
Hi, I did the sam and even my temporary teeth looks nice but I feel like I'm in a silent movie with preaty smile...I must say that.my speech pattern has totally altered and I feel like I'm only wearing full basic dentures which Doctors don't even mention that to their patients. I don't like the way I talk and I constantly have to be aware of my mouth when I have to talk with alot of saliva and make sure I don't spit on a person in front of me...anyway my doctor tells me the permanent one will better and practice SH, CH, ALL THE SSSSSSES...I'm doing that but no improvement what so ever... try to say , SHE SALES SEASHEL.CHOo, Cho, choo
Hiya, I totally get what you mean with speaking. It has changed mine too, but I can live with it as I wanted the dentures as my own weren't good. A pricey option but still cheaper than implants etc. Yes my sssss are more pronounced with an almost whistle when talking. I'm not due to get my permanent set till next January
Give it a while, right now you are just happy to be able to eat the food you use to eat. Once that happyness passes you will start to notice that the food nolonger has the same falvors it had before the dentures. It took me 9 months before I was able to notice the loss of the taste of the food due to the dentures.
@@mohammadalibagherzadehreza2708 Your denture needs adjusting. The expert who does this is called a prosthodontist. He get about 3 more years of school than a dentist to learn and perfect these techniques.

I have had a full upper denture for six years and I absolutely love it and everyone says I have a gorgeous smile. I have never had it relined, I use polygrip every day and it stays completely intact - I can even eat ALMONDS and I taste everything perfectly.
Me too , never had problem with taste either.
I had mine least than 1yr as long as i stick those babies in i am beautiful eat everything and taste every morsel

I see only 4 implants in the Zercoina some say you need 6 for the weight is that true ?
Everyone is different, four implants are ideal for maintenance and stability. Six or more can be placed if a person has real soft bone, or has other factors needed. We can discuss this at your consultation. Give us a call at 385-272-9469.
Valuable information. My mom had temporary acrylic and she hate it, tar from food resided at the base of the teeth and she could not remove it during brushing. She now has teeth made of zirconia and she is very pleased with it. The teeth made of zirconia are much more expensive and heavier than acrylic but they are sharper to cut the food, have no black spots at the base of the teeth, and are easy to clean. It is important to find a good lab.
Thank you for your input! I am happy for your mother! Thanks for watching!
I am in the process of implants on my upper on 6 with a sinus lift. About how much are the upper zirconia snap in`s? I will have to do the lowers at a later date because of the cost. The complete work on the upper is going to take 14 months.
Great video. I made my own dentures with a 30.00 kit I got from Florida. Only paid 150.00 to the local denturist for the lost wax portion. Five years ago now. Have only had them realigned once.
That's awesome. Remember that kid who made his own inviziliners with a 3d printer?
Yes I am getting little creative myself. I don’t have the talent to make my own set. I found on Etsy sellers that make dentures. I do my impression kit at home send it back. Then they send me full set for $200. I still have not had all my teeth pulled yet. My husband is disabled so this is what I can afford. In few years I probably will get better set. I am going to be able to smile again. I can’t wait.
What’s the name ???
The problem with the titanium is yes, they are super strong but that’s also something that’s bad about it, the way my surgeon explained it to me is that if you bite down on something super hard with the titanium it’s going to rip the whole implant and break the bone and won’t be replaceable. But with the acrylic teeth they’re made to break on purpose because it’s much better than if you are going to break some thing By biting down too hard it’s better to break a replaceable acrylic tooth rather than breaking all the bone in your face is the actual implant is!
What about snaps on off I heard it’s good I had a friend that has it and he is happy with it he told me it’s expensive but worth every penny
That is a great option for someone that is not ready for the "All on 4". Much better than the traditional dentures. You still have to take them out nightly, and also has maintenance. But is better to chew with than the traditional. Thanks for watching.
@@implantsecrets thanks for the information I don’t mind to take them off at nights I do appreciate you taking the time to explain to me
Its true that all-on-x is usually the best solution for patients. But here are some advantages of a removable denture:
1. Much cheaper than all-on-X. A removable can cost around 2-5K per arch. All-on-X can cost around 15K-20K. If you get both upper and lower, its around 30-40K. If you get a denture from dental school, you can get a good one for less than a grand.
2. A lot easier to clean. You have use a special floss to clean an All-on-X bridge, and that's only if the all-on-x was designed well to be cleanable. Implants also have to be cleaned religiously by the patient, almost more than you would with real teeth. With all-on-X, you must come in every year to have it removed and cleaned by the dentist.
3. You could have irritation/allergic reaction, but you won't get anything like a gum disease. Implants are notorious for developing infection because the rough metal is a perfect shelter for bacteria. Implant specialists would like to say that implant success rate is 95%. That is very misleading, because they are talking about implants that don't "completely fail". In reality, implants often have problems and complications, as often as around 45% of patients who received implants have at least one complication in a given year: "Derks J. J Clin Periodontol. 2015 Apr;42 Suppl 16:S158-71." If you replace a denture, you pay about 2K or less. If you replace an implant, its about the same price. But that is just one implant. If you replace 2 implants, thats around 3-4K.
Also a few corrections:
1. Most of your taste buds are on your tongue, soft palate, and throat. Only a very few are present on the hard palate, which is what the removable denture covers. You wouldn't have a lot of difficulties tasting really, its more of just discomfort due to the acrylic covering the palate.
2. Implants do not prevent bone loss. It only slows it down by a large extent.
In the long run, if you can afford it, I would recommend getting an all-on-x. But not everyone can afford it, and patients should be given all of the information they need to know, including the hygiene methods, advantages of a removable, possible complications of implants, and the future projected costs of taking care of removable vs implants. They deserve to know to make the right decision for themselves.
Thanks for the in depth feedback and comment! All on x is definitely the best solution, but a denture is for sure better than nothing if someone cannot afford the procedure. We make sure to give all of the options and information in our consultations to each patient as each situation is unique.
@@implantsecrets Funny how you refer to dentures as 'better than nothing" given the impression that they are an inferior product. Your choice of words is epic.
I have worked in the dental field, and had lots of personal experience with dentures due to cancer treatment. This of course has left me with little money left. So when I had to have a full mouth extraction, and my bone & body was not physically able to handle more surgery, I ended having to get instant full mouth dentures. And I had the best oral surgeon, lab, and dentist do the work. Healing has been long and painful. But I wish I would have been able to get implants. But I have to say, this video explains everything very well. Great job!
Thank you Tammy! Thank you for watching! Wishing you the best health and well being! We would live to meet you!

It's about 8000 dollars in my country. It's about a year worth of monthly wages. If you don't have your own home and pay rent, you will have a very hard time getting that money together fast enough. Probably have to work for a while without teeth.
Yea, it would be nice to have fifteen grand to work with. Clear Coice wanted $33,000 for a full upper and a lower partial implant and $15,000 up front? See ya in the next life.
@@helenTW what country is this you speak of?
omgosh haha i will a kidney? hahaha
Have had same upper and lower dentures for 10 years..still stay in without adhesive. I agree, though, that it does change your face somewhat..kind of lowers my cheeks (difficult to explain), but doesn't bother me as I'm not very vain.
I'm not vain either, but something like that would break me inside. Hence why I am getting implants.
Question; does the Titanium contain ANY Nickle ? I’m asking because there are reports of people who have Metal Allergies & after getting these Dentures containing metal ( the reports don’t list ALL the metals that are used) they are having serious problems with repeat infection/allergic reactions & that it’s due to 1or more of the metals used to create the implants/dentures. Many people, myself included, have allergic reactions to Nickel ( think cheap jewelry) & other metals, many people are unaware they even have a metal allergy. So, in the samples you are showing here do any of them contain Nickel ? Also I would appreciate it if all Dentists would advocate for better Dental Health Insurance & more affordable prices as they would get a better response from Congress than the average citizen. We’ve done our part by contacting all our government representatives, Now it’s the Dentists turn to advocate for us, after all we are the ones providing you with a very very generous income.
?
There have been small traces of nickel found in titanium surgical implants, Nickel allergic patients may develop hypersensitivity reactions due to this nickel content. Under certain circumstances, these small amounts may be enough to trigger allergic reactions in patients. Fortunately we haven't had any patients experience this.
That is an EXCellent comment. Dental.ins. is just a drop in the bkt.
1200 bucks usualky. How patheTic.
@@implantsecrets I have been considering doing this and my Periodontist requires a physical and EKG ,,dont know if you guys do that but why on earth would you or they also not demand a metal allergy test ?
thanks
@@billhamilton7524 before we do any surgery Bill we have the patient get a medical release from their primary doctor as well as blood tests. We will we want to make sure the patient is in good enough health to have a successful outcome. A few of our patients did what we asked and we found out they had diabetes and one found out he had lung cancer. So yes it is vital to know that our patients are healthy enough for this procedure. It is in the best interest of our patients.
Im in the same boat as most people here, the regular old dentures may be the only ones i could afford in my life time, Im hoping scientists perfect growing new teeth in the next 10 years - they are making progress i believe
Send me the address and phone number I'll call you
Our teeth should be like our fingernails, two sets of teeth just aren't enough for us. If sharks can regrow their own teeth maybe that's where our scientists should start looking for answers at?

Trying to eat something while wearing dentures is like trying to eat with a big piece of plastic in your mouth. I hate them and wish that I had taken better care of my teeth!
Same, my teeth are a mess and gonna cost a fortune to try to save then the dental work could end up failing and I’ll end up with dentures anyway :-/

@@agnesadams1250 what kind of implants did you get?
@@milliem8051 l don't know.
@@agnesadams1250 Really? I’m sorry
I was so proud of myself not having had a cavity since my late 20's or early 30's and not having any missing teeth (many of my peers had a lot of missing teeth early on). When I got to my mid 60's I began to have bone loss. Little by little my teeth fell out on their own, one by one until I was left with only three teeth. This is all on my uppers. My bottom teeth are still in and very strong with no detected bone loss. For the past 2 1/2 years I have been wearing a bridge but, I know that soon those last 3 teeth will give in. I am not happy with the thought of dentures but, it is what it is. I would have loved to have implants but, with bone loss that's impossible, so I have been told, and it makes sense. So I am now just having a mental debate on what to do and what choices to make when that time comes.
Im Sorry ... Plus side is the top dentures are ok . It's the bottoms that fall out and pop out when you talk eat yell or sing. Well the whole process is super tough . I do understand what your going through .
@@breejohnson4580 Thanks, that's good to know. I actually feel better about it now.
Lots of people I heard are going to Mexico because its so much cheaper
Myrna, there are many options with bone augmentation nowadays! I am a practicing prosthodontist in the Netherlands and do these surgeries several times per week, working specifically with clients who have bone loss. It is complicated, for sure, but not all hope is lost. I've done full reconstructions with significant bone loss prior to the augmentation and many have been very successful. It is possible ;) Best of luck to you!
My mother was in the same and close to 60 grand later his has new upper her bottoms r fine. It was more because of bone grafts. If you go to mexico its around 20 grand for your whole mouth
The problem is not “needs” or “wants” it’s cost. I have many medical issues with my spine alone and then my teeth started breaking. All of my issues started after gastric bypass which I only chose to do because I was literally dying. I was told if I didn’t have the surgery I would die in a year. My triglycerides alone was over 1200 and no matter how much weight I lost on my own none of my numbers were improving. So there I was 4 years out from surgery I was doing great I was getting my steps in everyday working with a personal trainer and I lost 9 sizes but I was starting to faint a lot, I failed a tilt table test and then I started with debilitating spine issues. So every year since surgery I had to go back in for exploratory surgery to see what was wrong. We found my calcium and vit d levels were very low regardless of how much I took each day. So last December I had to have a spinal fusion in thee lumbar area then a few months later had to have all my teeth removed and now I am not only sitting in immediate dentures I am looking needing further spine surgery as I cannot move but also getting dentures, would love to have the “Mercedes” of dentures but just not affordable at all. And I am only 45 and my doctor has deemed me “permanently” disabled. And on top of disc degenerative disease in my whole spine I am also a few numbers from osteoporosis. So no some of us do not have any options when it comes to what would be best with tooth replacement, and by all means I am not blaming you for that. Great video though very informative and everything my doctor has explained to me as well. And by all means I’m not trying to discourage anyone from any weight loss surgery, I knew the risks and I just fell into the very small percentage of things that go wrong. But without it I would have never got to hold my first grandchild, my grandson is the apple of my eye, I have not been able to pick him up and hold him since he was 2. But overall it was worth it.

After orthodontistry at 13 years old requiring the loss of four good teeth my current teeth are now just as crooked as before and pretty off white. If I smile it looks like I have a missing tooth thanks to a broken one. I look after my teeth and haven't had a filling since I was 18 years old. My mother at 90 has all her teeth so I hope I have her genetics.
Watching this has made me appreciate my teeth even though they are ugly. A least I don't have the problem of what is in this video to contend with.
I had squamous cell carcinoma in my tonsil on the left side. With the radiation that I have been through, 35 rounds, i’ve come to the understanding that implants are not the best solution for me. I’ve been told that drilling into my bone tissue would be a bad idea because of the healing process. I don’t think I have a choice but to get dentures, so I guess my question is, is there a denture on the market that has a slight cut away so that you can reveal more of your taste buds?
I would love to take a look at your 3D Ct scan to see what options there my be.

I wish there would be a way to completely eliminate tooth decay. I have to work hard for my money. I live through the pain of abscesses. I just cant afford their multi- million dollar homes.
😫😫😫 I felt this
So, when people do NOT take care of their mouths/teeth and suffer the consequences, then it’s time to blame Dentistry for perceived high costs. It’s funny that somehow most folks will go out and purchase a new car which nowadays costs over 30K, but have a fit when they see the costs involved in trying to obtain what they’ve lost from years of neglect. It costs a whole lot of money to get through college and then dental school and then a ton of money to equip a dental office as well. Overhead in dentistry is large and it costs a lot to run a dental practice. It is difficult work and often not really appreciated due to a lack of value for what modern Dentistry has to offer. DDS

1- complete acrylic upper dentures are very well tolerated when made correctly, easily 80%+ people will manage just fine with one - a lower is different and a complete lower denture will likely be poorly tolerated and implants would be recommended by me also
2- the bone will resorb the same regardless of whether implants are present or not, only bio implants can prevent this which are still experimental so that point is irrelevant
3- taste is barely affected by covering the palate there are no taste buds on the palate, some people get a strong plastic taste but most don’t, and a cobalt chrome base can be used if the thickness or taste of the acrylic is an issue
This is clearly a video designed to upsell the most expensive prosthetics and as a general rule start with the most minimal treatment that is usually the cheapest and see if you can manage before spending very large sums of money
Thank you Harry, Very good information. I do not try to upsell the most expensive, but I definitely encourage what I believe have the best results and keep the patients happy. With the zirconia choice, you don't have teeth that pop off or cracks or broken device. With regular maintenance and cleaning, any of these options can make anyone happier then having no teeth or infections. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Great video ! But one question , do we taste food with our tongue papillae 👅 or palate? I understand the mastication process is not the same but since we taste food with our tongue that shouldn’t be a problem , but for sure less is more sometimes and to keep our palate free from that acrylic is the best but not everybody can afford implants+ dentures. There are people who adapt their self pretty good to the conventional dentures - depends of the patients ability and economic disponilility too
Great Question. We actually have most of the taste buds on the tongue, but also taste cells in the back of your throat, on your epiglottis (that flap of cartilage in the mouth at the back of the tongue), your nose and sinuses, all the way down the throat to the upper part of the esophagus.
I'm a retired dental hygienist and I would suggest that people who are still working and have some dental insurance consider this as a long-term strategy: If you're told you need a root canal, ask the dentist if an implant and crown could be done instead. A tooth with a root canal becomes brittle over time, will need a crown to prevent breakage, and very well still may break eventually. I saw this many times during my career. That will necessitate a buildup and crown and maybe a redo of the root canal. That's if there's enough tooth left for it to be saved. Consider proactively looking into replacing that tooth with an implant and crown. For people who were not blessed with good teeth, this may prepare them to more easily move into implant-supported dentures later on in life. It would cost more initially but in the long term would save money, time, and discomfort.
Thank you!!! Well said
Crowns are trouble caus3rs. U cannoT keep the rtooth nub iyt is glued to clean enuf and u get plaque. Decay. It doesn,t show on the ck.up xrays. Avoid crowns. They need to be removable. They only have a life of 1 decade did u know?
I agree. That happened to me!

Wish my dentist understood this. I had an eating disorder for a decade and destroyed my teeth. He is SO determined to do root canals and crowns and has done 2 already. Theres 1 or 2 more due. We've already extracted two back molars for implants after braces. He adjusted my bite and I've been having insane sensitivity to cold. I can't chew well at all. And honestly all this is making me regret going in. My teeth hold me back so much. And I just want to eat normally, but im so afraid of ending up in dentures.
I am in the middle of an all-on-6 process, I've had the teeth removed and I am now healing. I've watched your argument for zirconia and watched others argue against the weight of zirconia and they also say that they CAN break easily under the wrong conditions. I haven't received the abutments yet but wonder how much your zirconia arches cost.
Can I ask you how much it cost you? Also when you say “all on 6” is that the kind that are considered “permanent” dentures where they snap into place? Also are you having top and bottom done?

I just have to live with it this way. It wouldn’t be so bad if the infections weren’t so constant. Dental is prohibitively expensive. If the infections continue, I guess I’ll pull themselves out as I have to. There are no choices.
Yes there is Google low income dental care for adults. Type the state you live in. They should give you lists of dentists. That charge based on income. This is how I found my dentist. I had infection spread to the bone in my jaw. Since I wasn’t in pain I didn’t realize it. Now it has spread to another tooth. Please don’t wait too long. These infections can kill you. Find someone to help you. I hope you feel better soon.

I wish I had all the money I spent over the last 20 years on crowns, partials and other dental work, then I could afford good dentures.
Robert Terrill I can certainly relate! Root canals, crowns after years of fillings etc.and breakage...Most out of pocket, and when unable, suffering with abscesses. Dentists did not take payments, and public health options pulled teeth only. The U.S. System of "health care" ignores the extreme importance of dental health.
You got it and bad advice decades ago.
@@screeningmimi I'm currently living with a person who is suddenly losing most of his teeth due to a medical condition. He's only 30 years old. He's going to get the bad dentures, that is all we can afford. Years of heavy saving would maybe compensate all-on-four dentures. The prices are ridiculous in my country, and there is no insurance for anyone beyond 19 years old. Medical conditions that break your teeth may give you 20 dollars of dentist credit a year. That surely helps a whole lot :D
@@helenTW exactly. Chemo ruined mine. I had a smile that everyone commented on. Not any more. Masks are my saving grace. When it's off, it's hand over my mouth. lol.
Same here, now I’m going to be stuck with dentures because I’m out of money and resources … you see I’m on SS and they don’t pay.
This video is super informative! I have the All-on-4 and it’s just game changing. I have Ivoclar’s Phonares teeth in my hybrid and not only do they look real, they feel real compared to what I previously had. The teeth are sharp, rather than rounded and dull like my previous teeth. I’ve also never broken a tooth off in these. I do have a titanium bar, as well. But zirconia are amazing.
Thanks!! ❤️ You have a fantastic channel and such an awesome story.

How much did urs cost
@@implantsecrets This is great info but for most of the world it’s just a pipe dream. I live with this issues, Im a domestic violence survivor living with multiple medical conditions, Lupus, thalassemia, doctors now saying I may have been misdiagnosed & I have MS… kidney disease,the list goes on,and some of my conditions are the direct result of the abuse I endured. My point is, my teeth have suffered because of this all. I was in a motorcycle accident,dragged 85-90 feet down the road pinned under a Harley,my head,& the entire left side of me bounced and dragged down the road that whole way.I was spitting out teeth,though I lost half my face. Yet my insurance wouldn’t help me even cover caps. It’s hard enough trying to rebuild your life when you escape a severely traumatic relationship,but when it’s also left you scared it’s almost impossible to find yourself again.
Just wondering if you guys, or if you guys know of any dentists in the entire country,because I’d travel, who offer payment plans? For the All-on-4? Anything to help have a normal life again. Thank you so much for your time. 🙏🏻

I've had the same upper denture 26 years, no movement, no relines, fits just as good as new. I had a denturist do it. Maybe they know dentures. Still have most of the lower teeth. I've never had any trouble eating apples etc.
That’s awesome!! So blessed my friend

A well built denture and properly taken care of gum will last you over 15 years. I have had dentures since 21 and have only had 3 sets. Proper care of your gums are far more important. I have only slight slippage in my gums but I brush my gums every time.
You are so right! Thanks for watching and your comments Penny!
Its all in who makes the dentureOne did mine 3 times and was never right. Went to new dentis Perfect first time !! and he was a few thousand less
When I finally decided to do something about my misaligned bite I asked my dentists about all-on-4. They insisted it would get things stuck underneath and that I should go for all molars crowned and veneers on the front to match. Either way would have been expensive but crowns and veneers were double. I did as they recommended. I’m still paying the credit card bill, and will be for a total of 8 years.
As of 2018 approximately, 4 on 4 is being totally, rightfully replaced. You would get 'stuff' underneath. Cleanable, maybe with 'Waterpik/& Time'. That's After paying 10K $. For That much, IT is all Implants, now. Dentists are Salespersons too! Plus, they Have One at a Huge disadvantage, lying there, helpless...watching 'Dentists' perfect teeth going Up down, Up down....Never stopping, cause You have a 'tool' in yer mouth enforcing Silence.

I've had dentures for 20 years and I taste food very well. I'm happy with my dentures. I've been lucky enough to never have had any adjustments on them. This video is trying to scare you away from dentures to the more expensive product.
We're glad you're so content with your dentures! As you can imagine, we mostly see patients who have not adapted well to dentures, so we often hear the other side, people who are in pain or uncomfortable. Thanks for watching!
I’m with you I have Dentures to and taste all of my food and eat what I want. That implant procedure is more than 30,000 I don’t want to spend that kind of money...
dentistry nowadays has moved from promoting better health in teeth to marketing aesthetically pleasing tooth. that's why "implant" with nail on became a thing. its a fake tooth anyway? why does it cost over a bomb?
I'm on set six from 5 different denturists. Not one pair has fit. I gave up and dremel'd my current pair to shape and lined the with thermo to make an accurate direct impression. The set isn't awesome, but at least they partially sit in my mouth now.
@@YagwitOG Me too but one as 2b carefull 2 stop dremeling ASAP

@@implantsecrets Hello I have lost all of my teeth 🦷. How much are the best dentures? Also can I make payments? Thank you very much. Blessings Robert.
@@jesuslovesyou8280 I don't know if you'd been fortunate enough to get some dentures yet, but there is kits that you can buy online to make your own at home, and video's on you tube to show you how. the kits run around $100.00. there your basic denture, and will save you several hundred dollars. the kits come with everything you need, and are a true dental appliance. not just cosmetic. they're very much the same as to what many people have already. However, if you can afford to let a professional dentist set you up. you should be better off. most of them make a mold, then create a wax denture, you come back in a week or so after your mold is made, then they try them in your mouth for a fitting. when you have them fit perfect, and you're happy with how they look. they send to to a company that takes the wax denture, and create a true denture for you. the dentist can then readjust as needed when getting the final fitting. A dentist will usually charge between $700.00 to $11,000.00.
I hope this information helps, Peace..

Where R U locade?ImPhx.
Doc, taste buds on the roof of your mouth? I have practiced dentistry for 33 years and have never heard of taste buds on the roof of you mouth. The rest of the info is accurate. You loose the texture sensativity blocking the roof of you mouth but not taste. The taste buds are all limited to the dorsal and lateral surfces of your tongue.
thats wrong. you need both to to complete the actually taste. put a lemon candy on your tongue with out letting it touch the roof. youll taste nothing
So, if I’m correct, you’re saying that the roof of the mouth, which aids in taste, remains the same?
Do you loose sensitivity in the roof of the mouth? I do know that I lost feeling in a part of my tongue when a wisdom tooth was extracted . I suppose it had something to do with the nerve that runs along the teeth. When feeling did return, I had a tremendous amount of burning and tingling in that area. That was 25 years ago and while it improved it never completely went away. Can work from implants affect you in the same way? I’m assuming the upper has a similar nerve. When God created us, He certainly created a complex and intricate creature! 😊

Thanks.... For the information... I was diagnosed with stage 4: cancer last year and the chemo took out and broke my teeth.. so recently just had the last nine removed ... I just got approved by the state to get dentures which is unheard of... Because they don't help you get anything.... It's only because I had ostomy.. that they reconsidered....I don't know what to expect and I was scared about the taste bud thanks for clarifying.. I just pray for everybody on here that is embarrassed and having problems I know how you feel...I pray for each and everyone of you to get help if I ever win the lottery you best believe I will help everyone...

@@breejohnson4580 Hi Shannon I hope you get what you need for your teeth & happiness
I lost all but 7 of my teeth due to cancer and cancer treatments and I’m sure that I will lose them as well. NO dentures work for me. The dentists that works with me say that my gums aren’t “ long enough” and therefore not enough gums to hold a denture in place. Dental implants are my only hope and I absolutely cannot afford them.
I understand that doctors deserve to be paid well, but there should be a cap to many procedures as well as the price you pay for medicines.
I am also a professional singer, but not a superstar. My life depends on my work and I cannot sing without my teeth.

I would love to meet you, MJ, never give up! We never know what might be in our future. I hope to meet you someday! Thanks for watching!
Dentist here.
I disagree about cost of relines. Overdenture on snap-ons is the easiest to keep clean, especially for seniors with declining dexterity.
Zirconia, being the hardest "can take so much more pressure". If the terminal brunch is too strong the breakdown moves to a higher level: sore muscles, TMJ, opposing teeth wear etc. The amount of build up under the screw-retained denture is big, especially for people whose oral hygiene was low to start with (that's how they loose teeth). One professional removal of screwed denture will be more expensive than a reline.
Good visual presentation. Thank you. But the advice has to always be customized to each individual.
Agreed. Their are few absulutes and every patient needs a customized treatment.
You don’t have taste buds on the roof of your mouth. Fact !
@@ninjacat4929 FACT. the way your food tastes when the roof of your mouth is covered by a chunk of plastic is absolutely different than if not covered. I unfortunately know this all too well!!!!
All of my teeth have broken at the gum line. I only have 2 caps in my mouth, along with my broken teeth. In the last 10 years my all of my teeth have broken off. I literally have 2 caps that are preventing my mouth from totally sinking in. I wish the removal of my broken teeth and getting new ones was reasonably priced. Being on disability, my income is very limited. I don't even go out of my house or to any family functions bc I am so embarrassed. I even missed my daughter's wedding last year. They need to make getting teeth more affordable for people like me.
I know it can be challenging, and I am sorry for your situation. Never give up my friend. We never know what might be around the corner.
I can’t even eat most foods with my dentures. I have to leave my bottom dentures out because they hurt so much. I had to get dentures when they punctured a hole in my colon in 2010 and I was on life support and in a coma for 3 weeks and when the took the life support off they pulled the backs of almost all of my teeth. I ended up having to get dentures. Of course the doctors wouldn’t pay anything because I signed a consent form letting them do the colonoscopy. I had to have a colonoscopy because they left a surgical sponge in me in 1994 so I have had to have regular colonoscopies since then. I am now a widow and can’t afford implants and I don’t even know if I can even wear them.
Sounds like you’ve been through a lot of heartache Belinda! I am so sorry. Hang in there, and never give up… Thanks for watching!
gee take the people who left that sponge in you to court. Do you have a peoples court in the US?
Why didn’t you include some prices with this?

Very interesting. I have broken a tooth on my titanium bar one. I found this missing information about the initial cost of each type of hybrid. But I did not know there was such a variety in the types.
Thanks for watching Ann. We try to be very informative. Patients should be able to have acess to as much information as they can!
Why is it so hard to reveal the pricing on these dentures. Obviously it can vary but you can give an estimate pretty easy.
Very Expensive. Over $50,000.
The cost of all on 4 dentures here in Australia 🇦🇺 are around $27,000 for each denture. That's why alot of people here travel overseas to get the work done. It is a complete rip off here in Australia.
Mine cost $66500 in NY so it’s still cheaper in Australia
How much does it cost for the all in 4 bridge??
Everyone wants price first, but people don't understand why its not good to throw out pricing. There is a lot that goes into planning these procedures and deciding best options for the individual patient.

I liked your analogy with the printer ink and the maintenance of snap in over-dentures, I was thinking of going down that route, but I shall now have a re-think. And thanks for explaining the difference between acrylic and zirconia dentures. ( all on 4 ).
I'm living the snap-in reality, and I get my retention caps replaced annually. $60. yearly. My ACTUAL printer ink costs me more than that. I'm in my 4th year with the snap-ins and honestly, if I could afford a BMW, I'd buy the zirconia option. But I drive a Honda for a reason. C'est la vie.
I went to a implant dentist and was told $72,000! How do these people sleep at night?! I’m going Monday for snap in dentures for the upper and my cost after what insurance pays is $4,200! And this includes a crown and one implant. Affordable Dentures!!
Hi sounds great interesting where because I cannot afford 72,000..unbelievable
Mexico 75%off on 4,200!!!!!!!
question what does zirconia cost and thank you
Excellent Breakdown!!!!
I’m sure this is crazy expensive. I need to do something because I use my teeth as a second hand. I’ve had several pulled already over the years and another one just a few days ago. I know I need several more that need to be. I’m so scared to only be able to get regular dentures and try and use them to help me do day to day things and have them fall out on me. I lost my arm years ago when I was 18 (turned 19 in the hospital) and use my teeth for many things.
Going in for my consult today to remove 9 uppers and have a denture. This video helped a lot. I hope I can afford the good one... this is very traumatic for me
It is a very big decision Christa! And Can be frightening, it’s always a good thing to invest in yourself. Good luck my friend! Thanks for watching!
You’re not alone, traumatic is the word. Hope it went well for you- 9 months later
Why would you remove 9 teeth are they all bad in dentistry we say never remove a healthy tooth it’s criminal
Surely the snap on dentures could be made with a more sophisticated/resilient attachment mechanism?
I don’t want any kind of Metal in my mouth especially going into my bones, that eventually goes into your system slowly , what causes all kinds of different diseases ,
So... Here is my questions. The dentist said i have periodontal disease and that my teeth are sitting on quicksand (referring to my gums). I already lost my lower 2 front teeth due to gum and bone loss and my gums keep receding. They were talking about doing surgerys to restore the gums to try to save the other teeth, but...is it more cost effective to just pull them all and get one of these considering that the surgery wont cure the disease? Also, If i took out all my teeth now and got either one of these, will that stop the gums and bones from getting worse? Or will it never go away? Also, if i did implants, would that also defeat the purpose because those too would be on "quicksand"? What options do i have? I currently have to cut up my food/sandwiches cause i cant bite anything off with my front teeth so im looking for the best solution. Any advice would be great. Thanks.
My exact same diagnosis and issue
My friend just paid for the upper dental $23,000.00 dollars she is 74 year old. I hope than whe she past nobody still her upper denture. I think that is a ridiculous price.
I just got new dentures and I absolutely hate them. The top denture makes me gag, I can’t taste any food flavors and I have to use “ Fix a dent” to keep my top denture in place. Now as for my bottom one, I have a post on each side where my “eye teeth “ were… Well one of my posts is higher than the other and I can literally take the bottom teeth off the posts with my tongue. I hate that I even made the decision to get them. I have a long story of dental issues because I was a premature baby. I wish I would have known more information about all the types of teeth replacement like you showed before I did the traditional dentures. Thank you for the information you provided in your video. To bad I’am stuck with the ones I have. I literally hate them. Sincerely, Bethe Stewart
