All-on-4 would remove my bone, so I chose 3 on 6™ dental implant bridges with Smile Clinic

[@PaulaAltenbach]

This is a reason I did 3on6, I already suffered bone loss and couldn’t fathom more shaved down! Instead I received the gift of bone grafts!

[@PamelaBrandonChromeFoto]

Those look so natural and beautiful, I just had to get on antibiotics again for multiple abscesses in my mouth from my regular doctor because my face and tongue was swollen and painful with ear pain. After 3 days it’s just now feeling a little better, still have 7 more days on antibiotics, I know this will happen again until I get the infected teeth removed. It’s so frustrating and feeling overwhelmed with how to change my situation. Today has been a little difficult with it being Memorial Day weekend and all my friends are going to the lake, and my daughter is with her dad for the weekend I feel so isolated with a mouth full of broken abscessed teeth. I’m sure there are several ppl that can relate to these feelings. As a nurse, I can remember ppl telling me about so many different types of pain over the years and I truly can say I couldn’t relate to what they were going through even though I felt compassion for what they were experiencing, it wasn’t until I had a injury that completely changed everything about my life during the pandemic, that changed my perspective of how they felt and that I could relate to what they were telling me over the years of listening and not getting what they were experiencing until it happened to myself. It’s definitely a humbling place you get to and this is how anyone with dental issues can relate to the pain, isolation depression and this feeling of defeat. I know the dentist and staff have so much compassion and see patients in this situation often, but they can’t truly know what it feels like to be in this situation unless you’ve experienced it yourself. I still try to wrap my head around all the years listening to patients tell me about their pain that I truly couldn’t imagine what they were going through until I experienced a similar situation that I now understand what they were experiencing. I don’t usually vent any personal issues on KZbin or social media, but I know there are many ppl that feel as I do. I just wish there were more resources available for these life changing procedures that most cannot afford.

I am a younger senior widow and only on social security and in need of this procedure to eat and for health Having been an RN and seeing insurance pay for elective surgeries and the mouth is certainly of upmost importance and why cant we have this basic right

[@transequitur]

The unnecessary removal of (jaw)bone and soft tissue should be a crime. Notice how every practitioner of all-on-4 procedures downplays that part of the process and glosses over it by using the term "contouring". 3 on 6, IMHO is a big improvement so in that regard I'll give Randy Roberts a thumbs up. At the same time, I don't think it's right to proclaim being the inventor or developer of the procedure and then get it trademarked and basically sell it as a franchise to other clinicians around the country. I'm sorry, there's something questionable going on with that and this video is a marketing tool for Smile Clinic. He's managed to make it just slightly more affordable than an All-on-4 procedure. I say, We the people need to be better at advocating for ourselves and demanding better, more cost effective solutions for full arch restorations.

[@dannypeters8126]

I'm in Australia, The all on 4 isn't that good, I do prefer the 3 on 6 as it looks more comfortable, natural looking and creates a more better looking smile,I wish that I could get the 3 on 6 in Australia.

[@transequitur]

@@dannypeters8126 I recommend watching Dr. David McFadden speaking about implant bridges. If we can about the procedures that are being sold to us as the only options, I'm pretty certain there are skilled prosthodontists in Australia that can perform the restoration that you need, without the need to call it something like a 3 on 6; that's just "productization" by and for the benefit of the global dental industry. The clinicians aren't necessarily the bad guys here, it's the educational system coupled with greedy business practices. Best of luck in your search !

[@marciasloan534]

My dear, CAPITALISM is the backbone of our country. Dr. Roberts has every right to make money on his brain power. Everyone else does.

[@darlenechambers7596]

I so wish I could get this done I'm just waiting on my denture implants on the bottom to break off and the top denture plate is already broken and cracked, but can't get any help to get the implants done. But I really love your work.❤

[@chanellezimmerman4294]

Please make them affordable. Most people can't afford them. I pray the Lord will bless me with being able to afford these someday.

[@smileclinicusa]

The 3 on 6 has already brought down the cost of a permanent full mouth teeth replacement significantly. Unfortunately there are a lot of fixed costs out of our control like anesthesia, implants, zirconia, wages, etc. If you'd like to learn about the payment plans we help patients with please call us at 801-590-8694

[@Mike_The_Hog_A_Nator]

Only the poor suffer. I'm on SSI/DI w/ heart disease & even with a 640 credit score, I was denied with having zero debt. I now have a Cigna Advantage Plan that covers $0 co-pay for extractions & $20k a year in dental, including prosthetics, etc. But I don't believe they'll cover this. I need 21 extractions. My teeth started breaking off at the gum line in my 30s. I'm now in my 50s & haven't smiled since the 8th grade, literally! I'd give a leg to have this done, seriously! However, I always get denied. $35k in Houston is the cheapest I found near me. But, that was for All on 4 which they remove so much bone for that procedure. Maybe 1 day I'll hit the lottery 🤟

[@tula7141]

They offer financing help and there are great costs to these dentists who studied for many years in dental school and had years of internship to be able to gain expertise in their field. Make this a life goal ♥️

[@Maj42-b3k]

I pray that this happens for you 🙏 🙌

[@roberte6641]

With your 3 on 6 technique are there any gum problems that I need to worry about down the road? Will food particles build up between the implant and gums? What are the "Cons" of this process?

[@smileclinicusa]

Just like regular teeth, food particles can build up if you don't brush and floss. The risks are the same as any other implant procedure, only that with the 3 on 6 it is easier to keep clean and free from infection and cheaper to replace if there is a complication.

[@geneeverett33]

What I also wanted to ask

[@dyspraxicrose3307]

Do you have a price list, please? I am in the UK, and there are no smile clinics over here!

[@mojo6016]

Wish they were affordable!

[@TheYah00netstar]

How much for the upper and lower?

[@smileclinicusa]

The 3 on 6 starts at around $20k per arch or $40k for a full mouth. With good credit treatment can be about the cost of a car payment. Please call us at 801-590-8694

[@mpat100]

why does it have to be 3 separate bridges instead of just 1 bridge which would be stronger?

[@smileclinicusa]

That's a great question! Research and common sense demonstrate that the shorter the length of a bridge, the harder it is to break, much like a pencil - instagram.com/p/Cv2bkp2yrdG/. Having segmented bridges as opposed to a single bridges also allows for more stimulation on each implant, which helps prevent bone loss. You can read more about the benefits of segmented bridges here - www.3on6.com/post/benefits-of-segmented-bridges-in-reversing-bone-loss.

@@smileclinicusa Ok thank you for the response

Do you do crowns there too? Or just strictly 3 on 6 ?

They do everything. Braces, implants, crowns, 3 on 6
