It’s so expensive tho. My surgeon wants 60 grand to help me. Like how can anyone afford that??

[@biancarose5180]

Can you get a flexible partial with only 2 top teeth on one side?

[@dao8805]

wish your clinic was in the upper midwest

[@dao8805]

@@caitlyngeoghan9765 Have you checked into referral services to reputable services in Mexico? A fraction of the cost in most cases. I'm starting to look into some of those.

[@angelaschaefer5883]

Believe me I understand. Unfortunately you will need them pulled and get dentures. That is what I am doing. The most important thing is getting the bad teeth pulled. Before the infection spreads. As it did in my case. It spread to bone and killed healthy neighboring teeth. Which resulted in tooth loss.

[@AndyMangele]

What I like most about your videos is the undramatic manner in which they are presented. 👍

[@lisadelpeche3371]

dental bridges seem like a good option but to shave down the surrounding teeth to attach the bridge seem scary.

[@angelaschaefer5883]

They are good option and my dental insurance at the time. Which was fourteen years ago covered it. I didn’t have any problems. It was infection in the tooth anchoring the bridge. That spread to healthy teeth being killed by infection. My teeth were all pulled few months ago. It didn’t have anything to do with the bridge. My bone health is fine where the bridge was. It is the rest of my mouth where bone loss is problem. It felt just like having my natural teeth.

Very nice video

[@debstayblessed9549]

I'm trying to get a one tooth extraction and replacement for a lower molar. Like the idea of removal appliance. For one tooth. Don't like bridges or implants. Thanks for video

[@tedk2814]

thanks for this fantastic explanation of a topic that is surrounded by wives' tales and myths. I subscribed today. My #14 molar needs to be removed as it isn't a candidate for root canal. there is no pain as the infection has made it's way out via a fistula, no build up of pressure at the roots. After a CT scan, my dentist showed me where the ligament is missing and the tooth is being absorbed by my body. If the bone is good, I'm 73 , non smoker, non diabetic with good dental hygiene , I will opt for an implant, otherwise a bridge as the teeth beside are well. Thanks Dr. Langston

watching you talk sir, just give off genuine vibe of honesty and that you enjoy your work..

[@Dr.BrettLangston]

Aww, thanks! Just trying to keep it real and have fun while doing it! Glad you’re enjoying the vibes!

Very informative video thank you Dr. Langston!

[@sterlinggrier734]

Thanks Doc for being honest!

[@TheJoelMccluskey]

Thank you for this video, I damaged my 2 front teeth as a kid and they finally fell out in April this year. Tomorrow I go back for the next stage of implants which is having the titanium screws placed. I am nervous! But your video seems to state that I have got the best option. I'm worried they won't last. In your opinion (I know it's case by case) how long are implants likely to last at the front in a healthy 33 year old with good bone structure in the gum

[@lisalevins6923]

Do you have a video on how to clean a dental bridge?

[@angelaschaefer5883]

That part I can tell you how to clean it. You need water pik. There is space between the bridge and your gums. Other people can’t see it. But when you brush your teeth. You will see it. Take the water pik and put it in that space. This will get rid of any food that is caught in there. I had mine for 14 years with no problems. The rest of my teeth were the problem. I hope that helps you.

[@mariav1234]

You can use a product called "Super floss". It is really useful.

[@lordjim3109]

My dentist is pushing implants on me real hard. Your video just made me realise there is also the (flexible) removable option, which I like because I don`t like the idea of a bridge or implant in my mouth. My dentists portrays implants like they are a piece of cake, and I know they are not.

[@karenshort3880]

My tooth in the bottom front was a root canal and had a crack in the tooth. It got infected and abscess. That is why I’m doing a implant in the front to remove the two root canals. To put in 1 implants with 2 teeth on it. It’s because I have tiny teeth. My dentist had to remove 2 teeth to get 1 implant in. There wasn’t enough space for the implant just remove 1 tooth

[@dao8805]

Very helpful video. Good explanations. Well done.

[@rhondaphillips432]

Thank you so much, I'm curious of the price of the permanent implants. Hate the denture and want something more natural and near normal. Rhonda from Northeast Georgia

[@angelaschaefer5883]

Between 25,000-$80,000 would be in the ballpark.

[@SusanStarratt]

Need advice Have always taken care of my teeth Gums have been receeding for years Didn't know there was anything to do about this thought it was just part of aging Well now all my roots on upper teeth are exposed with black lines across the top op them one of the canine teeth broke off the other day Went to a periodontist in MTTA (I live in Kennesaw) He wants to do implant It is really a financial hardship for me But even if I do this will teeth keep breaking off? I certainly cant afford implant after implant Whatwould you do ? I'm not holding you to this I would just like a knowledgable opinion

[@annephutieagae4270]

Thanks for this information, I would however want to know, in which country you are located ? Kind regards Anne Phutieagae 🇿🇦

[@swivelsievert9469]

How much for in plains orr a denture ??!!

[@angelaschaefer5883]

Dentures are between $400-$5000. Implants are between $25,000-$80,000. I am getting dentures and 99% of us will have dentures. Unless you have a lot of money and can see dentist every six months for cleanings. Implants are not good option.

[@lorijean3262]

Hi I had a consultation done and I only want three teeth in the front done , they want to take out alll my teeth because I have gum disease but they did X-rays and my bone structures great ! They want do my three front teeth and they want where can I go ?

[@hunnybunny202]

In total how long is the implant process

[@TheJoelMccluskey]

It's about 6/7 months

[@Frank-k7r]

Where’s my closest dentist 🦷 who’s been a dentist practitioner that’s been like your knowledge..@Ca😢

[@kellyvalentine2714]

I would love to come to your facility for upper implants. I have a long history with upper teeth due to a car accident trauma. I’m from Florida.

[@bleb87]

second molars are also kina low value to replace with implants.

[@cbpaton53]

... good information thanks, the camera angle is jumping around too much which is distracting.

[@mutzi1503]

I'm a 25 year old female with a missing tooth (5), that I lost more than 10 years ago. I remember that the dentist put something im that gap but it fell off. Afterwards I have done nothing since my parents were uninterested and had their own stuff to deal with not my teeth so I just left it like that. Eventually when I started to notice it again it was too late, my teeth moved and now I don't have no space and no bone for the implant. The only option is a dental bridge now and I'm scared to screw up my other teeth. The thing is the missing tooth is not that visible but its affecting my confidence. I don't know what to do

[@CDRRDHCAPE]

i’m a dental hygienist and would recommend either leave it alone…don’t worry no one will notice. Or you could have the dentist lab make an acrylic removable tooth for you. I’ve had one for 15 years it works just fine! No need for implant there.

[@mariav1234]

Leave it alone, since a bridge will damage the neighboring teeth since they have to be shaved down. I wish I had never done a bridge because I ended up missing the supporting teeth because of the bridge.

[@michaelacardinalmc]

No, I don't feel overwhelmed by my dentist giving me options because they always just tell you to get an implant. lol

[@yvetteshore8427]

My main question about implants is how traumatic is the procedure? Are you just shoving a screw like thing into the gums? This seems very painful. After all, the tooth has just been pulled. Your body has been in a process of healing for a couple of months, then it seems like another injury is happening. Please explain how the body responds to this. I am a little fearful.

[@marymacdonald2379]

It is fine. You go to a recommended periodontist; they have excellent pain management for the procedures--sign up for the laughing gas for extra relaxation. The periodontist will place bone graft material at the time the tooth is pulled.

[@392_RHINO]

@Mary Macdonald what about the pain after the procedure? How much pain will I be in when I get home and I'm crying in my sleep

[@marymacdonald2379]

@@392_RHINO I had a prescription for narcotic pain killer and only took it for a day or two, then nothing--not even over the counter meds. In addition to the usual numbing by the periodontist, I had laughing gas during the procedure.

[@392_RHINO]

@@marymacdonald2379 thank you so much for the information.

[@marymacdonald2379]

@@392_RHINO Back to a part of your original question --placing of bone graft right after tooth extraction is followed by three or four months of healing. Then the implant base is screwed into the bone, followed by more months of healing (bone adheres completely to base and gum heals). Then the crown gets made and installed by your regular dentist.

[@dreamypassion9380]

Bridges by time cause gum recession , because there is no force or *screw, roots * on the jaw bone
