I wish that banks would have a dental loan program or some way to help us with bad teeth and gums to keep us alive.

[@vickythefist7062]

Me too biggest regret of my life. Didn't seen need one filling until age 26. And went to a rogue dentist that said I needed 4 crowns despite never having had toothache he drilled them down to spikey points and then when I was literally 15 minutes late for an appointment despite ringing and telling them he said he wouldn't fit my crowns unless I paid him. Despite it supposedly been free on the nhs . usually he would ALWAYS be late whenever I attended appointments. One time I had to wait 3 hours despite having an appointment because his "golf game" took longer than he expected. I was then left with my teeth left like that and , £3500 worth of crowns that the nhs paid for that only fit me that he was paid for and he wouldn't fit them or give them to me for another dentist to fit. He also told my dad that he needed 3 fillings he said he'd come back another day saying he couldn't afford it. 17 years later my dads never had those fillings and his teeth are in perfect condition. He was doing work that the nhs was paying for that didn't need doing. Thank goodness he's left the country and can no longer practice dentistry in the uk.

Yes, many financial program to help people with dental problem, it not difficult to get it. Jut make appointment with dental clinic, they give you form to fill and get loan you need.

I had dental implants in my late 30a and they were great for six years - until my body rejected them and they got loose. This was 35 years ago and implants were new and totally different than todays. They looked like a little round funnels with holes in them, which the bone was suppose to grow through the holes and make them stronger. When my body rejected them and they were really loose, I had to have them taken out. Much of my bone had grown through them so I lost so much bone I was told I could never have implants again. I've had dentures since and the top ones fit well and are not a big problem but the bottom ones are a nightmare! Part of my gum is totally flat and the teeth just sit on it because there's very little bone to adhere to, and they continue to shrink! To plant bone for implants would be outrageously expensive and no guarantee that I wouldn't reject those too. If you have good teeth, take care of them. If you're young enough and can afford to preserve them, do it because the older you get, the harder it gets!

[@wem-c9f]

😔😔😔 Sometimes it’s just too late. My parents lost their teeth when they were really young and yet they never helped me with dental hygiene when I was younger. Very tragic. And today I suffer so much and spend so much money to salvage the situation. They wear dentures for years. I am finding out more on dental implants.

I think the reason people want individual implants vs few ones and a bridge is that they don't like the fake gum, especially when laughing when you can see the line between real gum and the plastic one, But as you explained individual implants are not always the best way to go.

[@candysmith8724]

Question for Dr. Sehmi- I've seen conflicting opinions about full set of individual implants vs 6 on 1. I heard another Dentist say individual implants give you the best result and does not effect your speech like from the bulkiness of faux gum on 6 on 1. Also, if you don't have bite pressure distributed evenly on teeth, won't that cause even more bone loss under the teeth that do not have the screw? Would it be better to have 8 implants on upper and lower 1 & 2 molars combined with a 4 on 1? Making a decision on which is best way to go is very confusing. Are there reviews on the different products and materials that are made for the bridges and implants? I'm in the US, so products available may vary from the UK. Any input would be appreciated.

[@wem-c9f]

Hi Candy, am sure having more implants will prevent more bone loss than with fewer implants. That said, have you proceeded to do any implant yet and could you share if you did? I am starting to explore my options for a full mouth rehab.

Professional that tell a full set of implants are better, is lying, every tooth need support from bone, bridge and full set of implant, make you lose bone, and weak the bone that support others teeth.

[@jordanross876]

Dr this is the question I have been wanting to ask and I think you have answered it well, thank you! I do have a new question though now, having 4 or 6 implants then as opposed to a full mouth of seperate implants how does this affect bone loss? As in if I am having all my top teeth removed due to decay etc, will the 4/6 implants support the bone enough so my face doesn’t start to sag? Surely the gums will shrink where an implant has been placed and I’ve now no teeth?

[@wem-c9f]

Hey Jordan I have the same questions. Have you made any decisions yet as to what you are going to do? I was wanting four on one but i question about the bone loss with only four implants for whole arch. I just saw that the 3 on 6 seems good but need further research. I guess the more implants the better it is to avoid bone loss. Also, you can also do bone grafting if you don’t have enough bone for implants. Like use the extracted teeth or synthetic material or even animal bone.

All on 4 ,if one implant fails the whole bridge fails.All on 6,if one implant fails you can still make it work.

Good question, and I have a video on cleaning around implants in the pipeline! The whole thing needs to be designed from the outset, with ease of cleaning in mind. The bridge is flossable with things like super-floss (Oral-B) or tepe brushes. Sometimes I recommend patients use a waterpick on the lowest setting as well, but this isn't as good as flossing under the bridge.

So many dentists are more comfortable doing it like this. The final upper should be very stable and require a lot of effort to remove.

After that are the snap in dentures the final set of dentures I will receive. 2nd question How long should I wait after extractions before implants and then after implants before snap in denture. Hope this makes sense.

[@drgurssehmi]

Hi Kay, a lot depends on your individual plan, in some cases it's possible to remove the bad teeth, place implants and connect them to clip in denture on the same day. This is called immediate loading. You could just have the implants placed on the day of taking the teeth out, this is called immediate placement- and not connect them to the denture. If you just have the teeth out, you should wait 2-3 months before placing implants, and if you are not loading straight away, wait 4 months in the upper jaw to load them. I hope this makes sense!

[@kaymoyse4890]

Dr Gurs Sehmi Thank you. My dentist didn’t want to do implants straight away as wanted gums to heal first for 6 months. I’m trying to get different opinions as I cannot cope with my ridiculous loose lower immediate denture which won’t even stay in with glue and cannot put up with this for 6months. Upper is fine. My job entails face to face consultations and teaching and dancing on stage. I am 63.

I recently started to do locator treatment for patients, and connect the implants to the denture on the same day. There is a risk that the implants don't integrate, but it's been successful in all the cases I've done so far, and usually the risk of replacing an implant is not to bad compared to having to cope with the loose denture! (Also, I don't charge anything if we need to replace an implant). Your dentist is being cautious, which means he or she has your well-being as a priority, there are just several ways to approach the problem.

[@kaymoyse4890]

Dr Gurs Sehmi I have just been researching more regarding full extractions and implant retained dentures and came across the subject of Alveoloplasty! Does everyone have to have this prior to implants as this has not been mentioned to me at all. Really do not want more surgery!!! Other than the implants obviously.

I would love to smile without fear..

[@candysmith8724]

I had 23 beautiful porcelain crowns put on my teeth when I was 29 (by choice, cosmetic - costed me $13,000). Now at age 49 I come to find out my own saliva is killing my teeth under the crowns. Within the past 24 months, I've had several teeth shatter under the crowns. I'm so upset, I cried in the dentist chair when they explained this all to me. I've had 7 teeth extracted so far. I can't smile or speak without wearing a plastic thing in my mouth with fake teeth now so people don't notice. It's devastating! To replace is so expensive - $50,000. I have fear too, it sucks! God bless you xoxo

[@paulbarnes9490]

Is it still possible for me to have a couple of implants to replace a couple of missing teeth that I have. Two of my teeth were extracted about 19 years ago,so where the teeth are missing in my mouth the gum has shrunk because of bone loss. Is it too late to have implants because of the bone loss from not having teeth there any more.

[@Makeupandfashion-l2q]

Did you find out?

[@vincentrizzi]

It is, bone grafts are used to fix bone jaw. Expensive though, $135 000 so far on 11 implants

[@coronadaking]

Great information 👍

[@singha85]

Is it possible to get a gum transplant

[@nicolepeterson6344]

Yes you can get a gum graft

[@Redtailedhawk99]

Can you actually eat an apple with such implants?

[@drgurssehmi]

Yes, with any of the implant options I talk about, you should be able to eat apples without a problem

[@Redtailedhawk99]

Dr Gurs Sehmi maybe one day I can do that again. My wife loved apples and I would always finally just get a knife and cut mine up to eat it. I wish she would have lived long enough to see me able eat one. I alway enjoy your educational and well spoken videos thank you!

There are American Dentists practicing in Mexico at much lower costs than the US. I've looked into this. Check it out, do your research. I saw $8K for 4 in 1 both upper and lower.

Love your video and I plan to replace both of my top & bottom teeth with implants. What type of material would you suggest for artificial teeth - acrylic or porcelain? Please advise. Can you also advise the cost involved?

[@elbeantako8411]

The fact that they need to cut about an inch of good bone (half on each side of the jaw/mouth) in order to get such implants makes me want to wash and floss my teeth constantly.

[@kimberlymcbee6209]

Problem is, some people did and have gorgeous looking teeth but still had bone loss or periodontal issues through no fault of theirs. One in a dental group I’m in has gorgeous teeth but they’re all detaching from the bone. Unfortunately medication and autoimmune also affects teeth. I took a med with FDA warning for dental decay and couldn’t believe how quickly I developed worsened dental issues.

[@tinale220]

Where has he been all this time? I could have saved money from implanting 1 here and there and the end result is not what I expected
