Cost of Dental Implants Lecture Nov 2021

[@jas4everchanged]

Definitely not frustrated. I’ve been doing research looking for the best possible option for me. I’m watching most all of your videos to be educated. I’m so thankful that you are up front and honest about everything. May God Bless you sir!!!!!!!😊

[@mcfaddendentalimplantcenter]

I appreciate that!

[@bennyhorne3233]

I enjoyed your information. The presentation was very easy to follow. The reality for most people is the high cost and desperate people will go outside this country to get help. Thank you for sharing.

[@davidmcfadden878]

It is terribly expensive. For those travelling to other countries, I sincerely hope for the best treatment possible. Sadly, the U.S. quality is so bad right now, the chances of getting a "good" implant outcome are about the same there as here...

[@jamesthavasi5154]

Thank you Dr McFadden! Personally, I don't think anybody could have given such an objective, clear description of all things relevant to make an informed decision. Once again Thank you Sir!

[@mcfaddendentalimplantcenter]

You’re welcome. I’m glad you found the information informative 😁

[@roespi368]

Thank you Dr McFadden, for the clear Description. I’ve been searching a lot of videos on KZbin. searching for someone to give an idea on the breakdown and it couldn’t be any better than your video. Thank you for giving us the knowledge on what exactly what type of dentist and surgeon The individual has to look for. RS

Again a great effort n explanation learned more here in 20 mins than i did 2 straight days from various sources. Transparency from those in the profession will get me myself to go to tht practise even if it is a little more expensive

I’m glad it helped you understand all the differences.

Although i am blessed that family is willing on helping me out . Medi-cal insurance only covers dentures ! It is hard for me to except the fact as young as I am to be without my teeth and have to live with that and look at myself in the mirror. I am depressed already, because of I may have to endure that I want to be able to afford what I can, especially with my family.

Do mini implant over dentures preserve bone?

Yes, but not to the same extent as full sized implants, because of their narrow diameter.

Yes but I prefer parallel implants and no angle correction abutments for a far different yet similar treatment. You can see some of these in my gallery.

[@vannasok6671]

Thanks you and really appreciate for your lecture. Such a great and useful information for dental implants. Which one is more benefit(comfortable, not rocking and last longer) between individual implant and bridge implant for lower right back molars?

[@mcfaddendentalimplantcenter]

For two lower molars in the same quadrant: two individual implants and crowns would be best.

[@johnfritz5903]

I'm interested in learning how to shop for suppliers of restorative materials. I appreciated the received wisdom of going with the more popular suppliers that will likely remain in business, but I don't know where to research these suppliers to check their history and level of customer satisfaction. Any direction offered would be appreciated.

[@davidmcfadden7927]

I do not understand your question.

[@johnfritz5903]

@@davidmcfadden7927 At 3:54 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qITFq2Vpn9Orjck in the video presentation you contrasted the most popular implant type against more obscure implant type and how "parts and pieces" are not necessarily interchangeable. I want to be able to know that the implant type that is placed in my mouth is one of the popular ones, and not an obscure product. How would I be able to determine this, preferably by vendor name? Thank you for any help you may provide.

[@davidmcfadden878]

OK! I believe the FDA requires that "device manufacturers" keep enough inventory to supply users for seven years beyond the products being discontinued. Most popular brands in the USA are Straumann/ Neodent, Nobel Biocare, Astra (Zimmer), Biohorizons, Hiossen, Megagen, Implant Direct (mostly clones of other systems), Thommen, MIS off the top of my head.

Unfortunately, I cannot. I wish I had a network of like-minded dentists I could draw from when I get this question, which is weekly.

[@jenniebaez6947]

Thank you for this information. I got implants done around 6 months ago. They feel tight, like when someone gets braces done and causes headaches. At first, i thought it was normal, but it still feels the same. Is it normal to feel that way? It is a very uncomfortable feeling. I am at the finishing stages where they are going to order the clip on dentures. I am hoping this returns back to normal

[@davidmcfadden878]

Have the implants been connected to the denture yet? If so, they may not have a passive connection between the implants and the denture. If not, that tightness or pressure may improve over time but after six months there is a chance it will not.

[@jenniebaez6947]

​@David McFadden They haven't been attached yet. Is it possible that something went wrong during the procedure, and if so, could the dentist correct it? I don't know what to do at this point about the tightness I feel. I have also been experiencing jaw pain..

At this point all I can say is you've enlightened me, but have scared the crap out of me as well. After watching I find myself totally depressed, confused, and broken hearted.

[@goretex101]

I got a 4 tooth dental implant bridge retained by 2 implants on my upper 4 front teeth. They just got the finals ready but I’m unhappy with the color . The dentist was focused on the four teeth and not looking beyond . How much will it cost to have them remade in a different shade . I’ve spent around 10k so far ?

And.. why can’t the dentist who made them just send them back to the lab for a shade correction?

Almost never. Really only: Someone who cannot tolerate dentures and cannot afford anything else.

[@raulantoniocamerasmeneses3506]

Dear Dr,Mc Fadden what kind of gum-colored material, which is not shiny, do you use in your final models of bridges on implants? And what is the brand of screws that do not loosen easily that you mention. Thank you so much

[@davidmcfadden878]

The "screws that don't loosen" are specific to the implant company. The ones to which I refer are made by Thommen Medical (implants). They are actually "engineered" to elongate at the proper torque. That elongation and the very stable connection between the implant and the abutment are what minimize screw loosening.

[@davidmcfadden878]

"Zhermack Gingival Rigid" is the pink tissue PVS that simulates the gums. You can search for it.

[@davidmcfadden878]

Thommen Medical implants.

[@kalpnashah4030]

Great v doc I learned so much about diff bridges and why some with plastic costs more. All I hear is all on 4 never bridge implants it’s shame dental industry is robbing public from making informed decisions. I rather get educated and get eight treatment for me than having one system as option. If I wanted to buy porch or smart car that should be a choice I should have!

I love your third case in your smile gallery. The finished Zarconium is close to the size and A very similar incisal edge as my original teeth , and where i hope to get back to in time.. My prosthodontist had to retire because of health issues. I am in temporary over-dentures that I keep on with denture adhesive. I still have my real teeth (ground down ) underneath. In the future I think the dental bridges would be my direction but I'm not ready for that . And in my case I could go from the overdentures to the dental bridges. For now I would likea to replace the temporaries with something that doesn't stain. Im not wanting underwork done on my real teeth at this point . I would be satisfied if i could get somthing white ,a simular copy of what I have . , im sure you would improve them Esthetically...that would be nice knowing how artistic you are.but still I could be happy if you only made a copy . My occlusion is good . Can you quote a price range . I would even overnight them To you if you have one of those machines that make exact copies except better material that want stain. . im caring for my mother rt now so im not sure when I could get to see you . I'm 12hours away...Thats why I say I would overnite them to you .( I have 2 sets ) I know this isn't the norm , but it sure would be a blessing to me . Thank you 🙏🏼💚💚💛🧡🧡🧡❤ Cost range please?

I have multiple missing and damaged teeth that have to be dealt with in some way. I am a retired 69-year old male. I live about 290 miles away in San Angelo, Tx. You can't find much of anything in the way of dental care where I live except the most conventional outdated stuff. This is why I travel out-of-town for some dental care. Fairly recently I had some dental treatment done at Aspire Dental in Austin, Tx (203 miles from home) beginning 5 1/2 weeks ago. Sadly there were problems with outcomes of the treatment I received there. I had #18 extracted. That tooth was turning sideways and it was believed that infected roots were damaging bone tissue in the area. A bone graft was installed at the extraction site. A mini implant was installed @ #19. That is one of multiple missing teeth I have had to deal with. Almost overnight hard rocky material formed around the perimeter of the extraction site and mainly on the tongue side of the extraction site. It was causing pain. However there was no significant pain @ #19. On Monday, April 4th I returned to the same dentist In Austin. A new X-Ray of #19 convinced the dentist that the mini implant @ #19 was going to fail because the bone tissue was separating from the implant. The hard rocky material @#18 was found to be bone fragments . That was removed and it's eliminating most of the pain at the former extraction /bone graft site. I would still be using that dentist but treatment outcomes are now a major issue. So I would rather not use him again. Other missing teeth I have include #4, #5, and #31. Damaged teeth which are not causing significant pain include #7 and #12. #7 had a crown sheer off at the gum line taking a portion of the real tooth with it. #12 had an old crown with attached post come out. Do you think you can help me with these problems?

Can the bridges be put in with mini implants? I had 2 bridges put in 8 yrs ago with mini implants and they are fine. 3 teeth on one side with 4 mini implants and 2 teeth with 3 mini implants on the other side. Last week I was flossing my teeth and one of my teeth that was root canaled just fell out another crown can not be put on the root needs to be pulled. Most of my other remaining teeth have crowns and the ones that don't have crowns have a lot of chips out of them. I have all of my bottom teeth and 6 of my upper teeth remaining they are not loose but extremely sensitive and hurt all the time. My molars have crowns and have had for 15 yrs my gums have receded around all of them and the metal is showing and they are all different colors. I want bridges place directly on my gums like the ones I have already. I have had 2 partials but could not wear them because of my gag reflex. The Dentist that put in the two bridges retired and I can't find anyone here to do what I want done they just talk about the all on 4 and I don't want those. I don't want any artificial gums or plates. If extra mini implants are used would this be feasible?

[@mcfaddendentalimplantcenter]

Yes, it's possible but we base that decision on bone volume and finances.
