Comes down to money for many even with dental insurance. Implant costs are off the hook.

I always get cavity after bridge on two different occasions.

Implants are super expensive and they come loose and it costs more to replace? Watch out for dentists that prey on people,

I had a bridge, and I don't really like it. Implant is just way too expensive.

There’s pros and cons

so it's okay to swollow it becaus if we don't spit it we gona swallow it

thank yohlu doc. you're very likeable. hope youre channel grows.

You could have mentioned what I would expect to pay for each procedure, just a general price.

If the two teeth that will hold the bridge have crowns already or big cavities, then the bridge makes sense because you are also fixing the two teeth around the missing tooth. I chose the bridge for this reason. They did a root canal on the tooth with the big cavity before installing the bridge.

hi, so i have a tooth on th ebottom le part of my mouth, i think it is the 2nd or 3rd one from the end , it had a silver filling put in like 40 years ago. tonight i noticed using a mirror that magnifies and with a strong light. it appears there there is a small line i don't remember seeing before, it is running from the centre of the tooth (on otp) to the left owars the next tooth. is that any major issue?

Due to Celiac, I lost 12 years ago tooth number 21, 22, 29, and 30. So I'd like to have a bridge on the lower jaw both sides of center, as I'm not in love with paying more money for a screw in my bone and waiting 3 or 4 months and then getting crowns. I have waited all this time. Disabled and on a fixed income 61 years old. Biggest problem is now due to 4 extractions of the roots are causing all my incisors to shift and one of the incisors would be used as the mounting tooth to the bridge on the right side of my mouth. Is that going to pose a problem? The dentist I saw with Affordable Dentures was in and out in less than 10 minutes did not answer all my questions but hit me with, "Do you want to bridge?" I have an upper right Bridge. I didn't know that was an option, and my answer was "no" cuz I was thinking permanent drills. He never came back. I don't even know my quotes. Offered partial implants for permanent. I see another dentist next week but I would like an opinion from you you or anyone reading this has had two missing teeth L & R and a Bridge work and that leaning tooth falling in toward my tongue. What do you think all wise and experienced comments will be well received thank you! 😁

I’ve got 3 implants. Costly but I’m happy with mine.

The way you guys got that designed ,is like putting a nail in the gum?You would think that you could how a route on an individual tooth is made by nature and somehow designing the root like a real tooth instead just a tapered piece of itianium or porclean shaped like a DAGGER'If you could put an extra route on the replicated route system i would bet it would be stronger.I have false teeth uppers and lowers and in my bottom teethhe left two route systems so the bottom bone would not deterialate and have injoyed a good clean mouth for over 40 years now i can keep my mouth clean with good adhesive and allways feel good.My dentist acually offset my upper teeth in color to look like my old ones, the two primate mans upper fang trrth are made a little yellower look more real.I am 82 now and just want get through life with what i have in my scull?No screwing around with implants or different adhesives.I only have two bottom teeth route systems that my lower plate sits on.The big secret is YOU HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO USE THEM?Believe me YOU WILL LEARN. DONT BLAME YOUR DENTIST.

ok, if bridges and implants cost the same which would most people do? thank you, implants if you have the means. (ferris buhler)

*ONLY bad dentistry doctors talk about ROOT CANALS!!!!* *ROOT CANALS SHOULD NEVER EXIST, JUST EXTRACT IT, LET IT HEAL THEN REPLACE IT!!!!*

There are really only two majors health concerns that give us red flags🚩with implant_ nmber 1 is uncontrolled diabetes and BP_ Uncontrolled diabetes the main reason for that is because if your bone and your body doesn't heal properly the bone in the body is never going to form correctly around the implant' and we're just kind of setting Ourselves up for failure, the other concerns that we have is bone growing medicine so your fosamax your boniva' well these are things we can work around definitely something you want to bring up' because those impair the body's ability to heal around the implant' the Other factor is healthy bone and what I mean by that is we need to have an adequate quantity of bone because the implant needs to have bone surrounding all the way circumferentially around it but it also has to have an adequate thickness of the ridge is too thin the implant runs the risk of not only failing but possibly breaking the bone and that doesn't mean that it's not possible, we can always grow bone we have lots of bone growing procedure through grafting augmentation but these are all things that we'll discuss with you once we've done a cone beam scan which is 3re dimensional scan that lets us see exactly the quantity of bone and the (quality of bone) and the other advantages of a cone bean scan is that we can plan out your surgery from start to finish so that we have actually already digitally virtually placed your implant we know exactly where we want to put it so we know we've got the best chance for success but also that allows me as the restorative doctor to plan out the tooth or the bridge or the denture that goes on the top of it for an ideal success one"_ One question we get asked is how young or how old can I be to get implants or not not to get implants ? And it's a great question and of course the answer is it depends to be honest with you there really isn't an age limit at the top end as long as you're healthy and you've got good bone and we feel that you'll heal the age is just the number we've got patients that we did a 95 years old patient' the other day did a single tooth implant turned out great on the shorter end of the age range when your younger presents a problem Because we don't know where your bone is going to end up for males generally under 25 and females under 21 we're really not comfortable placing implants, at the time you put the implant in the bone you plant it out it's great it look perfect you put the teeth on top everything's wonderful and then they continue to grow and at 25 for females or in 30..35.. all of a sudden the bone and the teeth and tissue around that implant have grown and changed and your implant is still stuck where you placed it x many years ago so that presents a problem because a successful implant has bone all the way around it so to change that it's a pretty invasive procedure where you actually have to drill away all the bone around the implant you have to find it out and that leaves a pretty big a hole basically that you have to fill with bone and you can replace with implants' frustrating as it is and we do get a lot of cases where whether it's a medical problem or missing teeth can generally missing teeth where we have parents that are like can't we just do these implant honestly it's better to wait in those situations when we've got lots of techniques to kind of camouflage missing teeth whether it's you know resin bonded bridges natural bridges removal appliances there are lots of things we can do for that young person until they get old enough and the bone is fully grown that was a ramble that was good'_ okay all right another aspect that affects the success rate of implants are smokers and (gutka pan) chewers' the smoking creates not only a lot of immense heat in the area but also the actual action of smoking can draw out the blood clot and cause the area to not heal the way we want the chemicals and the carcinogens and the basically and the stuff they put in cigarettes and in tobacco and really damage the mouth and not allowed to heal, for an implant to be successful we want to create that ideal site that ideal area where the body can make it successful now if you are a smoker you can work around that we can use Nicorette patches we can do things for cessation infact I've had a lot of patients use getting an implant as a reason for them to finally quit smoking they do the implant they stop smoking for 6 weeks, and you know what but this is great I'm saving a lot of money I feel better I got it worked out, smoking while it's not a contraindication is something we definitely want to discuss and plan, at lastly who else besides everyone I've talked about is not a candidate for implants people that have really poor bone whether you've been missing teeth for a long time and your bones resorbed' and the last category is people with really bad hygiene and nobody really likes to talk about it, but if you don't brush your teeth and don't take care of your teeth 🦷 I don't think you should make the investment in getting teeth put back in because if you don't keep the mouth clean just like you can get cavities you can't get cavities onto titanium implant but you can get plaque and you can't get build up and you can cause bone loss and so you really need to be motivated to take care of them and that's the last categories people that aren't motivated to clear and clean for implants' sometimes people think hey I've got implants I don't have extra brush I don't have to floss and infact the opposite is true a lot of time with implants you have to increase your attention to your hygiene to make sure they're Successful"_ what step do we take to see if you're a candidate for implants ? So in our office every patient gets a 3 dimensional cone beam scan and what that does is allow us to see a big picture to kind of see not only the area where we might placed implants but the adjacent teeth make sure everything is healthy evaluate the bone strength the bone quality and allow us to kind of see around the nooks and crannies that sometimes we can't see and plan for we'll also have an in-depth discussion with you about what your goals are you know not every patient is same just because you're missing a tooth doesn't mean you need an implant there are lots of other options we'll discuss that in some other time, but sometimes an implant isn't the right solution having that in depth conversation with you to make sure what exactly you want and what we can provide for you we're all on the same page so if this sounds like you and you have questions about whether implants are right for you"_ and I don’t recommend to bridges also’ At all_ Al Omrah' MA trpl phd, M.Phil Durvesh yezdani's University of psychologist in foreign languages analysis

If you lost the tooth long ago there might be bone loss so the implant will not work unles the dentist grows some new bone. This is done with bone powder obrained from a cadaver. It will add to the final cost. The cost of a dental bone graft can vary widely, from $400 to $3,500

My tooth hurts bottom front and it hurts only try chew something or when my top middle teeth touch it ... Feels lil lose but stiff at same time i got elbow in mouth

My bridge finall fell out in 2023, this bridge was placed in 1998 no problems until a botched dental procedure in 2018, so i have decided to decline any invasive dental procedure involving an injection. The only dental "care" i will accept is dental cleanings from a dental hygenist!!! I refuse to waste my time with dental procedures involving numbing medications!!!

The pain of this procedure is horrible. Plus huge infection.

Can I use an electric toothbrush with my dental bridge, which is front teeth of me?

I can’t believe he’s a Dr either. White tongue has nothing to do with oral hygiene 🙄 He also didn’t mention Candida.

My 30th tooth has a visible vertical crack running along the outer side. The crack is running from the top half way down towards the gum line. It doesn’t hurt or cause discomfort but seems to have a cavity in the crack, the tooth itself does have minor cavity spots on top of it too, and I’m concerned because it’s my only chewing side. Can’t chew on the other side after cavity treatments on that side that led to a crown on my 19th tooth (I regret treating any of it because I had no pain or sensitivity before and was treating it only to prep for orthodontics). Since then, the crowned tooth has been sensitive to temperature and biting and chewing became impossible even thought the crowned tooth is fine when left untouched. Now with the cracked tooth on the other side I’m worried to lose my only chewing side and to have the same discomfort eating on both sides. What would you recommend?

How to pick a good dentist?

I just had 3 extractions with immediate implants 2 rear top molars 14 &15 + top pre molar #4 ...been 4 days now, hope to God it all works, cost was crazy, so far $15.5K with sedation (Thankfully didn't need sinus lifts on any) but when and IF the immediate implants don't fail (said should know within a month) still they have to put in the crowns that will be even more cost...

Hey Doc, I'm 21 and I just had an upper molar tooth extraction and I can't decide whether to do implants or bridges. So which one do you think is better for my age.

I just had my tooth extracted i fracture weating a cheese burger from wendys. Im glad the tooth is gone it was so painful 😒

Extremely excited about my bad breath issue on how Dr Osuma got me to believe herbs &deit tips is the best way to cure smelly breath !

why is there no phone number to contact us and we do not have e-mail for people to contact us

What is the difference between implant and crown? I just got an extraction then bone graft. My dentist told me about later on I might need to do implant and crowning.. I'm confused. I have to do both? I can't just do implant?

Titanium is highly toxic

Awesome video

I am missing 1st upper molar for 5 years. Recently having tmj pain on that side. Do you think a bridge could solve it

I'm watching this video after my second dental implant procedure. It gives me relief to know that I have chosen the better option. Thank you!

Take a trip to europe or mexico for a weekend and get All your dental work done for 20percent of what american dentists think they are owed....rediculous costs....why dont you incent a cheaper implant so you dont have rob old ladies for thier social security money anymore...prices are stupid compared to the rest of the world.....

When u say it cost little bit less,like 5 grand less!!!!

Differently bridge

for the dental implant is it possible to get cobalt poising from them? also how would you fix bone loss before you implant them? or is it a no go if you have bone loss in the area where the implants are going? my self I have bone loss and when I had a upper tooth pulled it breached my sinuses so I would probably not be a good candidate for implants.

You forgot to mention the time period it takes from start to finish for the implant. Also the implant is more painful after the drilling.

I’ve had snap in dentures for a year and a half, top and bottom. 4 implants on top, 4 on bottom. And it’s been a nightmare. The top arch keeps breaking in half. I’m currently waiting on my fourth new top arch and my first new bottom arch and sitting here again without teeth and unable to eat solid food. I have spent my whole life savings on these teeth and I’ve gone without teeth more than I’ve had teeth in the last year and a half. The dentist tells me that if this doesn’t work, he can’t help me and I’m on my own. I have absolutely no idea where to turn next. I don’t have problems at all with my implants. It’s the arches that keep breaking. Any suggestions? I’m ready to have my abutments unscrewed, let my gums grow over them and be done with snap ins. Just thinking about how much money I’ve blown on this dream makes me wanna cry. I’m in Indiana

I don't trust you. I don't like the way you talk. You're already different from the last 3 dentists. I've seen.I don't like what you're saying....

Just got the procedure done Thursday an didnt feel a thing i was on laughing gas an local anesthesia tho . Aint felt no pain at all an no bleeding an its day three

Did he brush his teeth before taking the tablet as well? I feel like he did, because we used to use those tablets in school and they were very pigmented

I did an implant about a year ago. The total cost was crazy ($7,000) for one tooth but I also had to have a bone graft prior to the surgical procedure to install the titanium implant post. The other downside was the time need to heal between each step and the wait for the surgeons schedule. It was about eight months to get the procedure combined with a three month wait to get in with the doctor and dentist. So the implant was expensive, somewhat painful, and it took a long time, but I'm pleased with the result and the doctor and dentist did a great job. Also the surgeon used a surgical robot to properly locate the hole for the titanium post. Great technology but crazy expensive.

Will I able to get barces for missing one of incisor

How come the one to the left is not straight compared to the rest of them and they have different heights

Do you have a video about what I think is called intrusion? I need my top molars on left side to be pushed up after bottom ones were pulled and they grew down leaving no room for implants

I lost my teeth just because I opt for bridge

My hole upper gum on the right side is so painful especially at night is now over month I went to the dentist they took out two of my teeth but still paining it's even worse than before what can be the problem please help me I can't sleep
