Starting my Dental Implant Journey - Part 1/4

UPDATE: TWO YEARS LATER: • My Dental Implant Jour...
If you have been thinking about getting dental implants, you might enjoy watching my journey of getting implants done in one week. In this video I let you know what it is like to get dental implants on day one of the Done in One (getdoneinone.com/) procedure. I am not a dental expert as you can see by how my teeth were. If you have any questions about the Done in One dental implant procedure and how it compares to other procedures, please contact them through their website getdoneinone.com/ -- If you want to ask questions about my experience and what it was like to get dental implants, feel free to drop a comment below. Thanks for watching!

Only people that have terrible teeth truly understand mental and physical burden of bad teeth. I’m 45 and just had implants installed yesterday. Well worth the pain. I also went to a place that specialized in implants and cosmetic procedures. Thx for the video.

Just come live over here in the UK. I’d say around half of us have awful teeth!

[@kyndalsworld662]

How do you pay for it

[@mattl1758]

@@kyndalsworld662 I was able to save half but the rest I borrowed a home equity line of credit. I looked into Care Credit. All dentists (that I know of) use a couple different lending companies, but the interest wasn’t cheap. I know they’re expensive but I figured the sooner I get it done the cheaper they are for me. I have 20 yrs of work yet. If I waited another 5 yrs then it becomes more expensive per year. Make sense? It’s how I rationally calculated anyway. lol. Good luck!

[@casualonemmo-player2167]

​@@kyndalsworld662if you have a regular decent job, this kinds of job/implants can cost around 25k usd or so.. so if it was me, id pay that off paying around 1k pr month for like 3 years = would be very much worth it tbh.

As a dental technician this gave me a new perspective on what i do. You really gave a face to my work and the whole process that i don’t get to experience first hand. Fantastic! thanks for documenting everything.

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

The team at Done in One said the same thing. They said they appreciated being able to see what a patient goes through outside the office because they never get to see that. I'm glad these videos have helped in so many ways. Thanks for watching.

I just finished watching this wonderful journey and I believe this will be my motivation to make a similar trek in the near future. Well presented, many questions answered & fears removed. Make no mistake, dental techs are all superheroes in my book!

@@ThatShabbyGuywouldn’t it be awesome if the government would step in and allow for more affordable schooling so those who choose a career in the medical profession aren’t boggled down with high tuition rates. This in turn would likely help the cost factor of needed care such as dental work. Some in our society assume the worst case when they see those of us with a bad smile!! I have thousands in my teeth yet still have lost over half due to no fault of my own!

Hey Ryan! I just wanted to say that I'm so proud of you! As someone who's been where you are right now, I'm just so gatdamn proud of you for going ahead with this life changing procedure, because I know how scary it is. It's utterly debilitating to live with severe dental problems, it absolutely does affect every aspect of ones life - physically, mentally and emotionally. I had my jaw smashed during a DV incident and it ruined my teeth. My jaw heeled incorrectly, so I had to have it rebroken during surgery. I was constantly on antibiotics before the surgery, constantly getting severe ulcers, constantly in extreme pain. This step you've taken is soooo worth it! You'll feel it in every moment of your life from here on out. I'm so happy for you and your family, as they will also get the pain-free Ryan back; it'll make a hugely positive difference for both you and your loved ones. Good luck, and here's to a happier life! Much love, from Australia xx

[@beauxjones8793]

Hey bud you are definitely not alone. I need a full dental reconstruction. $50k min. Mostly caused by a bad reaction to CYMBALTA not being prescribed properly. Not given proper dosage or given enough time to adjust properly before upping the dosage, and when I realized that it had turned my “give a fuck” completely off, I was not weaned off properly. Sent me into a tail spin for the last 3 almost 4 years. Lost my Mother and Mother in Law in the last 2 years. The only thing I feel bad about is they didn’t get to see me beat this. I’m just now coming back to something resembling normal(for me) Besides all of my teeth needing to be replaced. Been considering starting a YT Channel to document my process and progress, and what I do day to day(mostly nothing fighting my head and trying to force myself to get up, not always successful) Thinking about doing a go fund me or the like. Not sure people give enough of a fuck about other peoples issues. Hope this helps you with your confidence and mental health. Bless you for sharing. Keep strong.

[@360revolucion8]

Being a fan of YT Dr. Pimple Popper and Toe Bro channels, I like watching this type of content. I considered this PG but still good 👍.

[@christyzeeaquarianated2600]

@@beauxjones8793 hey mate, I just wanted to say that I empathise with you and your situation. I had to have a full dental/jaw reconstruction for different reasons than you, but maaaaaannnn! I vividly remember being in that place - the constant pain, hospital stays, antibiotics, etc. (You know the nightmarish merry-go-round it is.) I'd like to encourage you to start that KZbin channel, because I think people would definitely watch it. Some people would watch it due to a fascination with the medical/procedural side of things (as 360 Revolucion mentioned above - I'm also a Pimple Popper/Cyst pop fan lol) and others - probably a *shit tonne* of others - would watch because they can relate on a personal level. People not only don't talk about extreme dental problems enough, they don't show the *realities* of life with extreme dental problems. It's something that many often relegate to being strictly a "junkie" or "hobo" problem, when that is soooo often not the case. The issue of extreme periodontal disease gets shoved into the darkest, dingiest corner possible, which only serves to cause more intense feelings of isolation and embarrassment for those who are suffering. It's something we *do* need to talk about, especially considering the myriad of reasons behind advanced tooth decay (pregnancy, genetics, facial trauma, incorrect medications and/or dosages, clinical depression, etc.) I believe there's a whole community of people out here, just looking for someone to relate to on this issue, because let's be real - dentistry is faaaarking expenno', and a good majority of our fellow humans really don't have the financial means to get a full mouth reconstruction. I think more people than we know are suffering, but because we don't really talk about it, we don't see them opening up about what's going on. Anywhooz, sorry for the novel.... I just think a KZbin channel dedicated to this topic is a great idea! Wishing you well in all your endeavours, regardless. Much love, from Australia xx

I wish health insurance covered teeth because you need them to eat and be healthy. I have missing and broken teeth and what they charge for implants, root canals and dentures is just crazy. Implants would cost me a years pay. Teeth aren't cosmetic they are necessary

[@DurzoBlunts]

If they're necessary we should all learn as a child how important your only set of teeth is. Same for your eyes.

[@bizmofunyuns9693]

@DurzoBlunts agreed. My problem is genetic, and it doesn't matter how many times I get them cleaned or filled, I'm just doomed to a future of bad or no teeth.

I found you by accident researching dental implants. What you went through sounds EXACTLY like what I am going through and have been for idk how long now. I'm only 32 years old. But have BATTLED my teeth since my early 20s. Fillings have fallen out and my whole left side on the bottom isn't even there anymore in terms of teeth. I have gotten by chewing on my right side and being conscious of everything I eat. I don't smile. Just like you I am always aware of having to hide my teeth when I talk and laugh. I have a fear of the dentist. So much so that I have let this go on for too long even though I know that I can't make it any better myself. Now. On my right side the same thing is starting to happen. The tooth has opened up and it's just a matter of time before it breaks apart and I can't chew anymore. I am to the point of enough is enough. I want a new smile SO BAD. But my fear is holding me back. I have been researching the all in 4 implants. Just need to pull the trigger. Wish me luck

@@ThatShabbyGuy You're wrong, Shabby Guy. Implants fail all the time. They can get infected just as easy as a tooth, and have to be replaced. Not to mention there's an association with the gingival inflammation from implants and oral cancer, specifically squamous cell carcinoma. I'm not saying implants are bad, but don't spread false information that they're for life, because depending on how old people are, they're not.

How brave and unselfish of you to share this very personal experience! So many of us can relate, myself included. I have been through it with dental disasters. No joke, in my lifetime I have spent well over 100k on one disastrous procedure, after another. And here I am at 63, with only half of my teeth left. It’s embarrassing, to say the very least. It’s actually heartbreaking. To put one’s self through the pain, and the financial burden, only to have it all fail, is almost to much to talk about. I should have done what you are doing. Who knew? I can’t even imagine putting it out there, for all to see. Courageous is the only word I have. After all I have been through, fear of dentistry, doesn’t even scratch the surface. Thank you for your sharing this. I wish you nothing but the best, as I am sure, this will turn out well for you. I look forward to the next update. Prayers and good wishes are sent from the bottom of my heart.

I think sharing this part of your life might be the best thing you could have done for your channel. You have so much support from your loyal followers! Keep your head up! And thank you for what you do!

[@cynthiamarie2023]

You are doing the right thing. Don't worry, it's for the best. I felt the same way I was so upset about it and everything until I went on KZbin and I found a couple of videos about getting dentures young and I found out that there's a lot of people that have this problem and even if a lot of people don't have it when they're young everyone, everyone is going to have dental problems as they get older. So don't be ashamed. You're going to look so good with your new teeth 😊

[@chezgriswold6789]

Praying for a speedy recovery you're brave for sharing such a personal experience with us , I 😢 a little , please take care sir ❤️

[@CoriNagy]

Sending prayers!! Praying everything goes smoothly. 🙏🏻 So happy for you. 💕

[@jeaniegerdes4706]

As a Mom of 2 grown men, I'm very proud of you. You are doing the right thing. You're very brave to let all your followers see what you're going through! I wished I could have gotten implants, because everything the Dentist's did to my teeth over the years just led to having to have them pulled anyway! So, you truely are, doing the best thing possible for you oral health! Thank you for sharing this with us! Praying for a speedy recovery & healing. God Bless!

Ahh yes, love the no accountability

Thank you for posting this.

@@DailyMeditation365wtf?🤔

[@ThatShabbyGuy]

Ignore the random weirdos. When videos get a lot of attention, weird people like to come out and self project about their own life issues that have nothing to do with us. Especially an account called @dailymeditation365 being toxic instead of meditating on their own problems. They're just another human like you and I, pretending to be better. Yet all they do is peruse social media be hateful. And all because of their own emotional and physical issues. Sad really Imagine creating a channel about meditation, never being successful most likely because of a shitty message, then browsing youtube to pass on the negativity. So sad. You just have to ignore their mental issues and move on

[@Libraxbruja]

They’re gonna look soo good!! I can’t even imagine the discomfort and shame you felt, everyone has flaws or things they don’t like about themselves. I love your videos, def one of my top 5 people for furniture flips. I’m always bummed when there’s no new videos! I’m so glad you’re doing this for your health, mentally and physically. And so you’ll be more comfortable on camera to film and do more for your fans. 🖤 I can’t wait to see the progress! Hopefully you have a speedy recovery and the pain isn’t too bad. I’m sure it’s nothing compared to the pain you felt before though. And I died laughing @ the drug addict part lol. 😂🤭

[@ToniasBusy]

Holy crap, Ryan! I came to watch these updates after hangin out on your latest live streams. So cool you got vulnerable & recorded the process.

[@jillynnrekowski3106]

Wow! I’m so sorry to hear that you had been struggling with pain and bad teeth. I love watching you paint - you are the first furniture flipper I found on KZbin 🥰 You are so brave to document this process for all of us. Please know that so many of us love you and are praying for your health and recovery. This video put a smile on my face when you showed your post surgery smile. Those little white things looked like eyeballs. Then you made that joke about looking like a drug addict - literally LOLd on that one. Seriously hope you are feeling 💯 again soon, and back to making your videos that I enjoy so much. 🙏🏻♥️

[@carolynshoaf4045]

Not many people would have the courage to let the public see this life changing procedure. Good for you and hope you are happy long-term with the results.

[@marilynnde]

I wondered what the process was. Thanks for recording your experience and the process. I stumbled on this after recently subscribing to your channel (4/2023). So now you are all healed & a handsome young man.( I am probably your grandmother's or even great grandmother's age. Ha ha!) I love watching your process refinishing and refurbishing furniture. Keep up the good work and keep smiling!

[@taylornativi9457]

So exciting! Good for you! 🎉👏🏼 So ready to see your new smile!

[@rebeccavinyard2899]

Thanks for sharing your experience. It’s going to make you happy and confident when all is done! Excited for you ♥️✌🏼🙏🏻

[@joanklaczek4009]

Sending best wishes and prayers for speedy recovery.

[@chrisbev32765]

Hey there you're a very brave man and I'm so glad you're healing well. All the very best with your recovery. Catch you tomorrow

[@gailcullinan349]

Wonderful that you can have this dental treatment. Boca Rotan is where one of my best childhood friends emigrated to from South Africa during the 80s and is therefore familiar to me. Great climate and swimming and beach. Good luck Ryan, wishing you the best and I cant wait to see your new smile. Hope that the pain will subside soon. Take care and be well

[@debrathomas7360]

Good luck and speedy recovery. Looking forward to more of your awesome content. Take care of you.........

[@megh1684]

Best wishes to you! You are really brave to share this with your audience. We can learn a lot from your experience. I will never miss my dental check up again.

[@joeshumo9457]

It won’t help that much, but it is a necessity. Dentists are really good at slowly stealing and damaging your teeth. My dentist wasn’t shy at all and just hacked at my teeth like he had gambling debts to pay.

[@brewgardsrg]

Congrats dude. Can't begin to tell you how much I admire you for this.

[@carolvanrooyen4929]

Will be thinking of you. The bad part was getting to the decision. You are in professional hands. Can't wait for your natural smile and doing your wonderful furniture flips. Thanks for sharing this very personal process. Good luck! 🍀💕

[@sheriwulczynski1254]

Stay strong and heal well. Looking forward to seeing your new smile and more videos!!!!

[@jerrysacct]

You are awesome. Thank you for sharing with us . I can understand how you must feel, as you know a smile is so important to each of us. Good luck and have a safe and successful procedure.. Can’t wait to see the results!

[@jcbusto122]

Thank you for being vulnerable and showing us your journey. May God bless you with a healthy life and future friend.

[@vikkielmore3480]

Best of luck and prayers for a quick healing, my husband desperately needs this, he suffers in pain every single day! I pray 1 day he will be blessed with the procedure he needs

[@christynowen9966]

Wow!! I am so very happy for you! It’s like you’re speaking from my heart too. I have always had crooked, messed up, and embarrassing teeth…like my entire life! I’m also terrified of the dentist. I also have an auto immune disease that has just demolished my teeth with cavities and pretty much exactly what you’ve described with yours. I’m super interested in this dental center in Florida! Thank you so much for sharing!! It truly is an answer to a prayer❤️ Sending lots of love and prayers from Texas!

[@lacheerful6371]

Autoimmune Sjögren’s leads to so many women (some men) loosing their teeth. Years of pain and regular dental cleanings and care but my teeth and gum hurt 24/7. Shame Medicare and most insurance wont cover dental and work the type work this disease causes.

[@Nancy0162]

I feel for you! I'm sure you'll do great and will look amazing... even though I thought you looked fine before! I used to live in Boca! Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm sure it will help so many other people who might be going through the same thing and considering this as an option. 😊

[@Sparkula1]

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Sending positive energy for your speedy recovery. Looking forward to seeing your smile!💙😁💙

[@stjabnful]

Wishing you a great healthy recovery! You are truly a wonderful artist! Follow all the instructions. Teeth has a lot to do with your over all health! You will do great! ❤️

[@coreys.3978]

You're a beast! I'm 36, Just had full extraction and have my temp in for about a week and a half now. Watching everyone's videos I am actually very blessed, I'm eating my solids Panda Express, pizza lots of peanut butter jelly sandwiches. My fit isn't great,my dentist has been amazing and I'll start buying pallets of a realine but I think God that my mental is okay. I suck really bad at talking and can't use "S". My teeth are a little small and look like Dave Franco but I'll survive. The one thing that killed me was my breath, and the fact that people distance themselves and now my wifey is as happy as could be. Anyone out there about to do this, You got it, you'll be okay! Just remember you'll be able to smile soon.

[@lovelyshirl]

I'm in awe of your courage in speaking about this issue. I've had dentures since I was 20 years old (due to a car accident) and I NEVER discuss my embarrassment with anyone. It's affected my confidence, too, and I feel deep shame over it. I'd love to get implants but I can't afford it. I hope you are no longer in constant pain and that you healed well from the surgery and you were given a new lease on life. xxx

[@matt566]

How have dentures been for you? I may need to get them soon I am in my 30s. I'm worried about my face changing or struggling to eat and speak etc...

[@lovelyshirl]

@@matt566 Matt, I find dentures difficult, but if they are fitted to you correctly in the first place, they can be ok. They DO loosen after eating, I am self-conscious when kissing, they can mysteriously break, etc etc. After all these years, I'm considering the implants now for all the above reasons. Good luck with your journey.

[@20ilovemusik]

Omg I haven’t checked on KZbin for so long, so I totally missed your journey on you new adventures. Don’t feel bad because I’m the same way on my teeth. Then my 25 yr old kid has scar cavities at the front teeth. While my little has perfect with new braces. Lately been working hard to pay for my kids teeth issues and left myself out, which has cause some problems on me. I ended putting myself last here, hopefully soon I can start doing what you did. Thank you for letting us in your life. ❤❤❤
