​@northtexasdentalsurgery hello Dr using the night guard is good idea when you have all on 6 implants and 5 on bottom?

[@Curtis45100]

Thank you for all of this. Very valuable information for sure! I thought I did enough research, and I didn't. At least now I know what to look out for when I go for my final set of teeth. I'm now in the healing stages and about 3 weeks out from being done. This has been such a long and dreadful journey. So far, I've cracked my temporary teeth in half 3 times. If I had the choice to do it all over again, I absolutely wouldn't. I know the look is going to be movie star stunning, but the feel of your own real teeth is something that cannot be duplicated. Implant bridges and crowns were just fine. Ugh!

[@coronadaking]

Thank you for sharing great information; l am not as fearful now that I have watched your video. I don't have any upper teeth, so I will only have to go through the healing process after the surgery is done. I will take your advice and wait for the swelling to go down before letting them put the permanent implants in. Thank you again.

Excellent informative and very thorough video! This video is by far one if the most informative I've seen in my research of getting implants myself. What I wish they were more of is a discussion of how do they cost in general. Knowing no patients cost are alike it would esse my apprehension at least for me to know what the price of each stage of the implant and prosthetics?

[@user-AlbersN]

Thank you so very much for your informative unbiased information. I wish you folks had a location here in Georgia. Even though I'm on disability and went to an implant specialist locally I was told because I was approved through a third company up to a certain amount that the procedure now would cost a dollar less than the amount I was approved for. I have to say at least now I understand why I see some difference in the prices your videos obviously explain the difference very well on all aspects. Don't know what to do at this point I'm scared I don't want to have a huge 700 to $1,000 monthly payment. Thank you

I currently am wearing the temps, and healing nicely. I am shocked at how much the procedure costs in the U.S. Now I understand why so many people come to Costa Rica for this procedure.

I have been searching your videos to try and find out if the zirconia or nano ceramic options you are talking about have a titanium bar? I cannot find this explanation anywhere and trying to understand how that is made- My dentist says that she will do the all on 4 with a fixed implant supported bridge , but she did say something about it having a bar embedded in the prothesis , but she did say it is made of zirconia so i am very confused about that - so is the Zirconia and nano you speak of have a bar ?

[@dougd2723]

zirconia structure has a titanium bar, the nanoceramic has a nanoceramic bar which then is fused to the structure. Nothing will separate with the nanoceramic.

[@ritacarter2680]

I dont understand why an individual implant can cost 1500 - 2000 a piece to a full mouth 4 in 1 cost 25,000 ... So that should be 8k for the top and 8k for the bottom 16000 so where is the other 10k extra coming from ??

[@northtexasdentalsurgery]

so when dental offices do an all on 4, they're pretty much doing an all inclusive price to make things easy. whether an offices does it for $15000 or 30000, that includes the cost of extractions, implants, multi unit abutments, and the temporary and permanent prosthesis. when you're paying $1500 -2000 for an individual implant, that doestn include the cost of the actual abutment and crown on top of that. so each tooth is more like $3000-5000 depending on who you go to. if you had even only 5 individual implants alone with abutment and crowns, you'd be looking at like 15000 to 25000. all on 4 is definitely the cheaper way to go.

@@northtexasdentalsurgery My dentist was saying the all-on-4 there for me would be around $70K. I’m pretty tied down at that point to do snap-ons with 4 implants on top, 4 on bottom, yet that cost is still looking to be around $35k? I know it depends on the area, which I’m in NY. I am getting bone grafting in the maxilla to make sure we get good strength on the implants but other than that I don’t need anything else done surgically. Wondering why such a big price difference. At my surgeon the line item cost for an implant is 2700, but that also includes the abutments and usually he can write a bit of that cost off. I’m only 26 and planning on med school very soon, which is not cheap, so I’d like to be cost conscious but obviously I’m also looking for very high quality work since this has to last for decades.

[@stacyrice814]

​@@FerociousPancake888 I'm needing top and bottom dentures and want the kind that only the dentist can remove for cleanings and 6 month checkups on my gums health. My 1st quote from an oral surgeon was $27K. Then I went to a top rated Periodontist (only dentist with extra training specializing in implants) and also saw the Prosthodontist he reccomended and was quoted $70K. An added perk was being able to work directly with the Prosthodontist to decide on how I want the teeth to look. The other place just sends it off and they pick what they think will look best on me, so it's a big perk! Also the finale product was a bit higher in quality. Went back to the first dentist after covid lockdown, and his price was now $57K!!! WTF!!! So it may be that your dentist is worth that quote or they're jacking up the price using the pandemic as an excuse 🙄 But the $70K quote stayed exactly the same. Please get a few more quotes that are itemized. Find out about the different denture options, quality of products available and the associated costs. Maybe getting your implants done by a top Periodontist to ensure the posts will last a lifetime if you take diligent care of them, is where you should spend the most money now. The dentures only last about 10-15 years because of normal wear and tear. So get cheaper ones now. Then replace them with higher quality ones after medical school when cash is coming in, not flowing out 😁 The timing should line up! Good luck!!!

I'm 74 and due to chemo and radiation my teeth (even though I diligently take care of what's left) are just crumbling and falling out! So I am looking at the few uppers still left to all be pulled. What is the approximate cost with a clean slate? The bottoms have a 3 tooth bridge but it is detaching .... the rest are wearing down and cracking...3 if which are turning yellow! This is so depressing to me....I want to look good but regular upper dentures I would not be able to handle....on the bottom I'm hoping for reliable bridges with what's left😒

[@Indictedheart]

What do you think of clearchoice? I have healthy teeth in my upper mouth but they still want to pull all of em. They said they can't get the infection to go away and want to pull the teeth, & it was a very weak explanation total cost for the top is 32000. I am so freaked out about it. He says in 6weeks I will have my permanent teeth, but most say like you 4-6months. I have Healthy bone on one side & a working bridge that doesn't hurt or bother me. But they wan to do the all on 4. To me it seems like 4 implants and I only get my 1st molars with prothesis not my second molars. When I smile you can see i am missing my second molars, it has me really concerned and tbh I don't fully trust them. He reminded me of a car sales man. But they told me all I need is 3 implants on bottom 1 for each tooth. The rest are healthy enough to be crowned/veneered. BUt I know the cold on the zirconia CUTS right to the nerve with the zirconium crowns I have now. My current dentist wants to tent my sinuses & get me implants for each tooth that's loose. But I am near positive it was an infection that caused my pain. As soon as I was put on antibiotics the pain went away, & It keeps coming back the infection, because no one keeps me on Antibiotics for more then a week. I have been fatigued and sick for a long time. I worry pulling 8 upper teeth seems excessive when some of them are ok. Every specialist tells me something slightly different. I'd rather have my real teeth & just have the infection cleaned out. They also don't seem like they plan to bone graft the areas where they pull the teeth & I know from previous extractions I lose all the bone and gum I mean a full centimeter at least of bone. Hardest decision in my life. I'm only 40 and I don't want prothesis really. I hoped they could save them, & honestly I believe it could be done. But I don't know what else to do.

you can eliminate a consult appointment if you can provide x-rays of some sort (panoramic xray and/or 3d cone beam ct scan. then visit 1 is obviously surgery day. come back in a month for a followup. i guess technically that could be skipped because we just take xrays and remove the prosthesis to clean. nothing usually ever wrong at that appointment. visit 2, at month 6 we would need to scan your mouth again to get you into another prosthesis as your trial set to confirm you would like that. if you say yes, we then will start to fabricate your final zirconia or crystal ultra prosthesis. visit 3, would be delivery of the final prosthesis. of course that's assuming everything goes perfect, which it should, but for full transparency there may need to be adjustments on the fly for additional visits

good question because we dont even offer the hybrid as a final. based off what I've seen in the past I think $3-5k is typical. be aware that zirconia is not all the same. there are certain levels of quality that different labs use to make final zirconia. this is why price can really range

[@brendaw.7597]

Great information, thank you! It’s a difficult task to know what to do when you are the patient and faced with extensive dentalwork. Wanting the best possible outcome for the least amount of money is normal, especially when dealing with the enormous fees associated with dental services. The cost alone eliminates the vast majority of people needing such services, but even those who seemingly can afford it often manage to do so by borrowing from family, friends and of course, the bank, cashing in 401Ks despite the penalties and fees, etc.. Still, few people understand what they are buying other than, hopefully nice looking, well fitted and functional teeth that will last. It is an enormous blessing to have a doctor willing to share with the patient (if asked) what it is they personally would do if they were the patient. As with most things and cases, the cheapest route is ultimately the most expensive one over the long haul, because of inferior products that just are not as durable and will require replacement over time. Explaining why you would make the choices you would can help the patient a great deal. It allows the patient a greater sense of team colaberation. Even if the patient chooses a different route than what the doctor would, still the process is very helpful in aiding the patient to better understand the options and the overall effect of them. This allows the patient to perform due diligence on their own behalf so that they can feel confident that they are making the best decisions for their situation that they can. Thank you for wanting to help patients better understand the myriad of choices before them regarding implants.

[@shanghaiuncleorlando]

very helpful. Do you speak chinese Dr Daniel? How much is approximately all-including cost for All on 4 dentures with the best materials?

[@northtexasdentalsurgery]

I dont. my wife speaks little cantonese. and all on 4 with the best materials such as zirconia, we charge $21.5k per arch at this time.

[@buckie48192]

Wow!! Average folks don’t have that kind of money Sad for us poor folks We sit on the side lines with no help

[@dogelincoln7167]

I just got full mouth implants..wearing temporary now..its been 3 days..im in no pain just some face swelling. Also my toungue is taking a beating on the implant screws. Got some wax to fix that. Thats the most pain ive experienced. One day procedure cost me 60k. That covers the temooary..maitenance for 5 years and the permanent set

[@dogelincoln7167]

I woke up 3 times during my procedure..twice had no pain but felt them screwing implants in. 3rd time i woke up i felt everything as they were suturing my gums..i think i almost broke the assistants hand. Felt 3 in and outs ..lol.

[@sct4040]

Hubby used a dental surgeon with experience for implants, nothing less. Expensive, but worth it. Excellent experience.

[@12masterr]

But you still do not mention the cost of zirconia or nanoceramics, you should be more transparent about it,of course you will say it depends on a case to case basis, but why? It may be a,little more material, or a,little less or more complicated, but there should not be a vig difference in price for the final denture! You come as a responsible doctor offering good advise, but come short of giving a real world price,that is deceiving since you will shoot for the higger price when we consulting with you! Will you not?

[@richardkremmen7811]

Since the bone and gum shrinkage will occur under the temp anyway, can someone opt for no temp prior to the final prosthesis without adding to the shrinkage? Given of course that the pt. doesn't mind the esthetics of no teeth for awhile?

[@andyquinones-pi]

Am going to visit your clinic in a couple of months. I live in Plano near 75 NCE

[@Happy-dq9iu]

I may have missed it but - Why do you have to re-contour the bone?

[@AzinaStephenson]

Wouldn’t it be better to wait 6 months after the teeth were pulled

Why no one explaines crystal ultra.??????

[@drydock43]

Regarding your mentian of smoking effecting outcomes, does smokeless have the same warning??

[@northtexasdentalsurgery]

yes it does. surgical results still are compromised when vaping, etc.

[@susanjr1202]

I was told 30k for titanium permanent dentures...are they kidding??

[@angelaschaefer5883]

No he is not kidding this is why I am getting traditional dentures. In about year. I found something for now to wear. While I wait very happy to be rid of my bad teeth.

[@GoFarFarAway.]

Why are all on 4 double the cost of snap ins??

[@GoFarFarAway.]

ALSO MY DENTAL PLAN IS REMOVE ALL TEETH, LET THE GUMS HEAL WEARING TEMPORARY DENTURES. THEN ONCE GUMS ARE HEALED THAT IS WHEN THE IMPLANTS GO IN, THEN WAIT FOR IMPLANTS TO HEAL THEN I WILL HAVE MY PERMANENT SNAP INS PUT ON. $26,000 THAT DIDN'T INCLUDE THE $3,200 SCAN. DOES THAT PLAN SOUND PROPER TO YOU??? PLEASE HELP!!

[@pamelaryantownsend784]

Wow, what type of plan do you have, if you don’t mind sharing!?

[@donniestell7244]

@@GoFarFarAway. thats the same plan my dentist is doing. I just am doing the top for now. My cost is 18,000 total for top snap ins. If that price for you is top and bottom it seem like a good price to me
