Dental Implant Bridges: Pink or NO Pink?

[@turtlegaby]

I just found you after checking out reviews of 10s of other implant dentists and studying the subject for a length of time already. I am not there yet financially, but once I have saved up enough to make a full mouth restoration happen, it will be at your practice, even though I live in Florida. Thank you for explaining the process and options in so much detail. No other dentist does that. I can see why people rate you so highly on every review site..

Thank you for the kind words. I’ll be happy to help you when you’re ready.

You’re literally the ONLY doctor talking about this. I just had my upper full arch done in Ann Arbor Michigan and they did the fixed bridge. You helped me figure out what I needed to ask and advocate for, thank you.

Fantastic !! I am so glad !!

Thank you for all your information. Your post more than any others on KZbin have informed my dental treatments, for that I'm grateful.

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

whats the maximum boneless one needs to have in order to get a bone graft to have no pink implants

[@davidmcfadden878]

Very difficult to answer. We do not have a good way to build bone in this dimension (vertical height). So, "pink or no pink" is very much dependent upon whether you have teeth and bone, or not. 10% of the time we can do "no pink" on patients who come in without some or all of their natural teeth. If you can see your bone with a very minimal smile there is a chance of having "no pink". I am happy to refine these answer if you have more questions.

Thank you!

You’re welcome 😁

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

[@davidmcfadden7927]

Great question! That technique has not been invented, yet. More tissue volume is always better than less but rebuilding a papilla is extremely difficult. We can get about 50% back with the shape of the temporary but that's all.

[@abasak007]

There are lot of disadvantages of doing cases like how you are suggesting.. there is a reason we use multiunits and tissue level prosthesis.. morden concepts of full mouth implants avoids bone grafting in the sinus region avoiding cantilevers by placing pterygoid implants thus decreasing waiting time and also chances of implant failure /graft failure.. bone level connection is not always advisable..

[@davidmcfadden7927]

30 years of stellar results but I guess somehow you know better. I have no issues with straight MUAs but angled abutments are not good for bone or soft tissue. Would you have All-on-4, All-on-6 or All-onX in your mouth? I don't know one dentist who would ever have it for themselves...

[@momik-syan]

​@mcfaddendentalimplantcenter I've watched most of your videos.....one month too late. I had all on 4 done exactly one month ago. I fell prey to the 'production line' dentistry. My husband and I call it assembly line patients. I am miserable. I am in agony having this monstrosity in my mouth. I'm hoping it can be changed to bridges. I can't handle all the 'extra.' I have a zoom appointment set up with you next week. X-rays and info was sent today. I'm hoping this can be undone.
