My wife has no teeth on her lower right side all four are gone what do you suggest ?

Dr. McFadden I thank you for your honesty. I have been listening to and watching the videos of another dentist about implants and I thought they were being honest but I have never heard them discuss bone removal. It is really unbelievable the greed and misinformation associated with all on 4.

This is incredible information. I greatly appreciate honesty. Thank you so much.

Can you please answer the dentists who have ask about classes & teaching this technique? Im curious why they don’t know though, is this not taught in dental school?

I first watched this video 2 years ago. I was ready to go with all on 4 because of all the positive videos. You stopped me from making that bad decision. btw, I still haven't made a decision.

What about patients that have some form of facial neuralgia pain such as Atypical trigeminal neuralgia or atypical odontalgia that was caused by a dental prcedure or dental injection. I have been told that inplants would be asking for more nerve pain. Not sure if you are familiar with how many people suffer lifelong pain from nerve issues that started with dental procedure but would like to know if you have any knowledge of this. Most dentists either claim ignorance on the subject or just do not want to admit that dental procedures can go terribly wrong and cause people to suffer from pain and or numbness the rest of there life

I live in upstate ny so obviously it wouldn't be Feasible to travel to Texas for treatment. is there any dentist in the northeast that you could recommend?

I had a dentist recommend all on 4 for me because I have 5 teeth that need implants in my upper jaw. The problem I had with his recommendation was that all my front teeth are in excellent condition, except for a chipped front tooth. They are strong and healthy and perfectly aligned, yet he wants to extract them all and do all on 4 because I need implants in my back teeth. I said absolutely not. He seemed annoyed that I couldn't see the benefit of his suggestion. He even sent his assistant to try and convince me.🤔 Is it common to extract good teeth for this procedure?

How can you pay as you go when your getting finainced?

Will the Interdental gingiva (papilla) eventually fill in the gaps if a zirconium roundhouse 12 tooth with no pink and 7 full size implants that were all bone grafted is screwed into place after wearing an interim denture for about 8 months while bone grafts healed?

Hello Dr / thank you for your upload / I am going through a terrible stage in my life - as I was assaulted last year which resulted in my upper two front teeth removed - and the lower four front are not in great shape as they were also impacted / so I will have to get them removed most likely in the coming years / it has destroyed my smile and ability to vocalise like I used to - which has shattered my life - and sense of well being - I have been diagnosed with severe periodontitis- I am wondering do gums have to be completely pink to receive a form of treatment?? Or can it still be possibly not to get a lasting effective result while still having poor gum health / as I think it may also be hereditary as I cannot really remember ever having pink gums - well maybe only as an infant to adolescent but even then I am not sure if i had great gum health - it has been about 18 months since teeth were removed - and i am also worried about the length of time it has been and damage done by denture - which i have been wearing for about 10 -12 months .. i have a partial denture for my front two upper which attach by hooks on my canines . but i sincerely hope to get optimal treatment to bring back my bite force and ability to vocalise - do you think there will be a possible avenue / that is not on the extreme end of costing / thank you for your time - i hope to hear back from you

43 years old. On permanent disability. I only have around $16,500 saved, with 805 credit score. The problem is my income is only $963 a month. Had to pull all but 4 on bottom front teeth removed between age 25-30 my teeth started massively failing. Root canals with crowns were at least $1700 each. My only option, according to my money hungry dentist wanted to do a lot of root canal/crowns. He could have done fillings I'm sure on several of them. I ended up caving in and had to have them pulled. I don't leave the house hardly ever. I wish someone would run into me while walking down the road so I could be "deleted". I haven't had a life since my early 20s. Is there any hope for me?! By the way I live in Southern Illinois, so I'm 11 and a half hours at least away from you. I have headaches, and jaw pain everyday. All those teeth being pulled I just know is what caused my trigeminal neuralgia, which is so painful it's known as a suicide syndrome from the pain. Also, I have tried two sets of cheap dentures and I could not wear those things. I couldn't talk right, and they hurt so bad, fell out etc. and I also had to have at least 4 Alveoloplasty procedures years ago while trying to wear those basic dentures. Little splinter pieces of jawbone would poke through my gum. I haven't had to have one of those in many years. I was told about 6 months ago that I had a good amount of bone left from a dentist.

Thank you for your wonderfully informative videos. So helpful.

So I went to see a dentist in London, and she airily proposed 'angled abutments' as if they were the most natural, obvious thing...Yet you vehemently oppose them. Are they bad because they aren't seen in nature, or because they have bad outcomes, long and short term?

Couldn't you write a book about this disgraceful state of affairs? An instant best seller! It's like the Wild West out there!

So this is the video I keep seeing in those ads?

excellent work... put yourself in the patient's shoes... great

Do use any abutments whatsoever? I know you mentioned angled is a "no go".

Hi, Dr McFadden, So I checked out some implant dentists in Brighton, UK, where I live. They quote 'from $40,000'...so I am just wondering if you can quote a similarly rough figure to see if I have enough money to come out to Dallas? Basically dentistry is still a bit of a Wild West scenario, with many not very ethical, not very skilled implant dentists offering substandard care. But for your videos I too would have gone down the 'All on Four' route, which is the standard offering in Brighton, [and indeed in London]. Judging by your videos I imagine you are swamped by people from all over the US [and indeed the world] trying to find your level of skill, ethics and knowledge where they live-which must be rather frustrating! Thanks for all your informative videos, setting out a standard of care which is outstanding. Cheers, Rosemary Rimmer-Clay

So could I have a ball park figure, if I send you scan and X-ray? Cheers, Rosemary Rimmer-Clay

Hi, Dr McFadden, I was told by a dentist in the UK that it is not possible to place bridges directly on implants, that they require abutments to ensure stability. Did I misunderstand your videos in which you say that abutments are not essential? I feel confused! Thanks, Rosemary Rimmer Clay

But how can you concentrate on sedation AND dentistry? Surely an in-house anaesthesiologist at your side while you do the dentistry is safer?

Wow a life saver ❤

such an excellent explanation! As a Sjogren's patient it has been a nightmare. I already have two upper implants and two lowere (one on each side) but my upper teeth are failiing due to the dry mouth. This really answered so many quesstions, especially as I have a very gummy smile and when my front tooth was removed the guyms receeded a bit. Looking forward to setting up a consultation.

Hey again Dr. McFadden! I might have complications with tooth 31(root canal treated) and I was wondering if instead of doing a retreatment and new crown, if you would ever suggest doing an implant for 31? I think most of your restorations only include 24 teeth instead of 28, and I wanted to know your opinion on keeping 28, with implants

Sorry but what you just presented is I think too exaggerated

All on 4 takes your bone away. It requires less skill and a faster turnover time, hence more profit for the dentists in less time.

I will say I have gone through a brutal ordeal after an almost fatal car crash and a previous dentist that totally left me in dire straights after his treatments. Thank God I found Dr. McFadden. I prefer a control freak as they get the job done and done right. I am finishing my treatments now and all I can say people, don’t look anywhere else. Dr. M is a gem and so amazing at what he does! Thank you for everything Dr. McFadden and Dental Implant Center. You have and are changing my life! ❤️💯

Interesting video. I am trying to decide between bridge implants which are 3 bridges each on 2 implants or do the all in 6 procedure. My understanding is that if one or two implants fail with the all in 6 you should be okay. If one implant fails with a bridge then you would need to replace that section but at least it is only one section. Also, bridges do not need to be removed ever year to be cleaned and I have a lower price quote to do the bridges by 6K. Looking for any advice as it is a hard decision and I plan on doing next week.

You are very expensive when compared to other practitioners, it doesn't matter how you try and justify the extortionist fees!

I've been a dental technician for many years and have work in all on x dental lab and it was a butcher shop, anyone that is getting this treatment done listen to this man and do a lot of research and you'll find out that everything he is saying is true. Keep this informative videos coming Dr God bless you.

Wow!!!!

Dr. Thank you so much for this honest information. I have been studying this subject for several years so I can choose the best path forward. Only you and a few other doctors are honest enough to talk about not rushing the process. I am a skilled craftsman myself so when you point out obvious flaws like having no concave areas. It's hard to believe anyone could not see that as a problem in advance. I wish you and your family all the best. Rob.....

Very very informative, educational Thank you. I wish you were here in 🇨🇦. My second bout with implants in 10yrs. I am scheduled to have bone grafting on upper for an all on 4 denture. My first in 2014 completely failed due to lack of bone. . I don;t believe there are any specialist here in Canada that will do implants all on 4 bridges ( Zorconia) but this is fantastic information that I will be speaking with my surgeon about.

I was wondering if an implant is needed for a pulled tooth or is it okay to leave a space.

Mission accomplished!! I wish you the best!

What an excellent, informative presentation. You have given me a real and I believe unbiased explanation of the different options for implants. I have been contemplating having implants for some years, but through continuing deterioration I now need to take some action. Your very detailed video has given me enough knowledge to make informative decisions and to ask the right questions. Thank you.

Wow, Dr. McFadden, please don't cross the street in front of any corporate dental tycoons. I need you to stay alive for my teeth to survive. Coming to see you.

what would be the cost of the implant bridges?

I really would love to visit and have a consultation though I live in California , so

I agree with your thoughts. I have a few teeth that are bad, and the composite they put on my front tooth came off. I asked the dentist to add more composite or bonding as I called it. Boom! I'm referred to the Implant Place to get implants for $46,000! Why bother going in to get teeth cleaning 2x a year if it's for nothing?!? I'm disgusted. They had a big 3-D Xray of my teeth and 'See where you have an abscess there? It needs out NOW' 'OK should I take antibiotics now?' 'No it's coming out' Makes no sense. Nothing makes sense. I'm not falling for this. I'll glue my own piece of tooth back on if I have to. I call B.S. Thank you for your info. We're not that stupid, although we may look like it lol. I appreciate your videos.

There needs to be protocols in place before any irreversible, invasive, and permanent procedure is made by a dentist/periodontist stating, showing proof that ALL teeth shpuld be extracted. Its devastating to learn something so traumatic did not need to take place. The particular place I am referring to had amazing reviews with alluring photos. Looking back, there were so many red flags....Including telling me he came up with the all on 4 concept. How could I have been so foolish?

I have my video consult with you Tuesday. I am hoping you can can help me. I only wish I had seen your videos before June.

Hope you're doing well Dr. McFadden! Having dental troubles at the moment, and can't wait for the day I finish school and earn a salary enough to finally do what I want with my teeth. Hope to see you on graduation!

Will tissue grafting be enough to 'build' your natural gum or papilla?

What about bone grafting for bone loss?

Can you change all on 4 to a 3 on 6 type bridge with no artificial gums even when bone was shaved?

Before a surgeon cuts the bone away, the patient not only should be informed but also told the ramifications. I had no idea this was part of the all on 4 process until it was too late. I'm devastated because the bulkiness is absolutely awful and I did not know about bridges until afterwards. I am miserable.

"The McFadden Fast and Furious Bridge" 😆Your videos have helped me to set the bar high in a field I previously had no insight in. I've turned down two dentist so far and meet with my first prosthodontist tomorrow. The trust I have developed for you through your videos has me considering traveling the 1100 miles to see you. Thank you for sharing what you do!

Never liked the look of the "all on 4". Just looks like a denture. I like the look of the implant bridges. They look way better. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
