- After losing my teeth at age 26 and having dentures for two years, I got All-on-4 Dental Implants in 2013. This year marks ten years since I got my implants so I share the highlights of all that has happened over the years.

Thanks for watching!
My implants have ruined my life. No solid food for 2 years. They aged me 10 years. My entire mouth, jaws, lips and even the roof are constantly being cut. The teeth are far too small for my mouth. I have had 5 sets! My teeth are always loose. The bottoms have come completely out several times. The specialist who did mine is located in South Carolina and I am in Texas. My lips weee cut intentionally during the procedure. I cannot find an implant specialist that will repair the damage for less than $25,000. It is a shame and disgrace that implant specialists lack compassion for patients who have suffered from the effects of something that was supposed to help me. I paid so much money for the procedure and it is the worst decision I have ever made in my life. It cost me my career, confidence and voice.
After 40 years of cavities, soft teeth, bridges, etc, i bit the bullet. Flew to Mexico and got the all on 4, both top and bottom. I've had the permanant only like 6 weeks, but i am so happy. My teeth look better now than my whole life, and i am 60. Its nice to smile again. Congrats to you!
If you don't mind, how much for the top set? And was it in Cancun? Congrats ! :)
@TheCharadeofElisabeth it was close to $14,000. after getting some teeth pulled, bone graphs, the 1st temp implant for 6 months the the permanent implant. Yes, Cancun Dental Design in Cancun. They have a website.
@@paulmaggio8866 Were you ever concerned about having an expensive procedure done in a foreign country? What about a medical emergency during the process? Who would look out for your interest/safety?
@reneegunn95 I was concerned having the surgery anywhere. It was scary to do this, but my options were limited. My wife was with me. They took good care of me. After the original surgery, I was drugged a bit by Valium or something, they drove me back to my hotel, and even took me to my room in a wheel chair. I was loopy. They really do know what they are doing.
Then I slept thru the night. The next morning, I was good.
I got my implants 3 and a half months ago and just got the word yesterday that they’ve fully integrated with my bone! Completely successful. I’ll be able to start eating whatever I want within the next month!! Thanks for documenting your journey, I’ve been following you since mine began! ❤
I had my surgery last June, and I remember the moment I got my permanent set of teeth, and my bones were all set!! I was so happy to eat nuts again, and a bagel! ❤
@kalinjax so happy you explained Ivoclar ! I finally was able to finish last week and I was worried about the final product, if it was worth it etc., I knew nothing about it. I feel much better knowing about what I have- "Ivoclar SR Vivadent CAD" & I will agree, they are beautiful, I love mine & it's been sooooo long coming! I too, went in dentures young ugggh (28) very thankful 🙏🏻
I’m 37 from Ohio and I’m getting all my teeth extracted and All on 6 implants November 8th! My dentist actually took off 10k and is doing it for 40k.🙏😭 I also worked really hard to save and get my credit score up so I could get a loan. I’m so scared but so excited! This had been a goal for me for a long time and I can’t believe it’s finally happening!❤ I’ve been watching you for a long time. Thank you for everything!😊
I am getting my all on 4s on Nov 7! Good luck to you!!🍀
Did mine yesterday... It's a new world... But at least I can smile
How did you pick the right dentist? I also did the same thing but I can’t choose a dentist to do them! I just don’t know who to go with
WHERE AT IN OHIO??? That's a great price!!!😊
@@adrianeelise3849Same here! It's scary. How do you pick a good one? 😊
Dentists have so much happiness to offer patients. Changing lives should be their happiness too.
Without $$, your dentist doesn’t even want you as a patient. Loved your video! Hope your worst implant days are over for good.
Its extremely sad that healthcare is so expensive most people just can't afford to have things they actually need and wait until it becomes life or death...
I am an implant wearer, and just listening to all this should tell everyone just how much money really costs. The cleaning cost after you get the implants. And the hygenist told me my teeth and gums were great. She then asked if I saw a periodontist, I said no why. She said often with implants that can happen. More money, and was never told that either! I do like my implants, but anything I eat it sticks to all the teeth! Not great when eating out with friends. It is a long and sometimes painful process. So patience and money are necessary. Also was told how the teeth can break off, however have not had that happen. Best of luck.
See a periodontist for what?
I'm in the 4 month waiting stage for my implants. I'm also in Jax, and fortunately, as a veteran, the VA is paying. It will cost a total of $83k from beginning to end. So I understand how lucky I am to have this all paid for. I'm getting the hybridge and it's 5 pegs on the lower jaw and 6 on the top.
At 37, I never thought my teeth would deteriorate like they did. I'm excited to be able to smile and eat food again.
Congrats. You’re very blessed to have the VA look out for you.
Can i ask how you got the va to cover them? What process you went threw
3k??? Thats almost 3x what it should cost
@@disco453583k
I just had all my top teeth extracted! Same day temporary denture! It’s day two no pain meds at all as I’m in recovery! This thing is so uncomfortable on the roof of my mouth! I had bone graft done with every single tooth pulled! I’m going to wear the denture for a year they are a better denture as I’m paying for all of this in cash! Can’t wait to eat!!!!
I’m a grown man I cried when I seen the temporary upper denture!
I already did cosmetic dentistry 5 years ago and yep they all crumbled out!
I’m getting the same denture you have and I cannot wait!
Worked so hard for this and waited for so long! I out my teeth on hold for over 2 years man fighting cancer with my fur baby! All my teeth money gone!
I’m so greatful right now but man is this thing annoying and I can’t wait to get the stitches out
Thank you so very much for sharing. You have helped me enormously thru this process. Merci, Danke, Gracias
So great to see you today!!! You are looking great as always 😊
Thank you for sharing! You answered a lot of questions I had. I couldn't find anywhere. So thank you. I'm about to start this journey, and it's scary. 😨
Always a pleasure watching your videos. Learning, and taking the journey, and knowing I am not alone. Looking back at the journey is so important, gives me gratitude. Thanks again for all your videos...❤ take care...
You are a breath of fresh air. Thank you. You teeth are beautiful.
Thanks for the continued updates. I think I sent you a link or two on Twitter over the past year, some dentistry developments. Good luck.
So good to have you back. You are so honest and helpful. Have had my all on 4 for almost a year and they are great. ❤
They look great thanks for the info I will be getting tops and bottoms Got a lot of tips great vid Happy new year ..
I have watched your videos and I thank you so much for sharing your journey ! I can relate very well as my my struggles and problems with my teeth were alot like yours an it has been a dream of mine for a really long time to be able to get implants and still is my dream. i hope and pray everyday for it to come true. so i can get back to living my life an being around people and enjoy life again. ❤
What a journey! Teeth are not an easy thing. Thank you for sharing
Thank you very much! Your videos really helped me and inspired me to document my own journey that occurred this year. You were the number 1 resource I turned to when I needed another denture wearers thoughts and opinions . I look forward to any new content that comes from this channel.
Your content really helped get me through the beginning stages of my denture journey, especially the pre-planning . Thank you for your videos , they are a great resource for young people.
Kristi, this was like a stroll down memory lane--and a much-appreciated one! I've been following you almost since the beginning--certainly since I first learned that I'd outlive my natural teeth--and your stories have been so instructive, supportive and illuminating. It's been so fun watching and growing with you, and I look forward to hearing about where your dental journey takes you next!
Your channel has been so helpful to me throughout the years. I’m still struggling sometimes but this kind of content helps to give me strength. 💖
I just want to say thanks for the videos. I just had my extractions done today and had a on 4 setplaced on my bottoms. The dentist was worried about the bone on my top jaw, so did bone grafts on top and hopefully in 3-4 months, i have them placed on top. I was really worried about getting it done, but your videos have really helped.
Thank you for your videos. I am going thru the denture process. I would love to have implants. Yours are beautiful! The cost is so high, but I'm considering just having two implants put in my lower jaw to make sure the lower denture is more stable, when I get that done. I was totally freaked out by having to do this, but getting more used to things as I'm finally getting my final upper denture done. I'll have to see how it all goes.
Your information is so helpful and encouraging about the results in the long run. Thank you!!!
You helped me thru my dental implant surgery! I had all my teeth pulled on June 6 of last year, and I couldn’t be happier with my smile now! I got the “all on 4, but mine are actually 6 on the bottom, and 5 on the top. Where I went in Ny said they would do what was best for my health and mouth once he got in there. I forget my dr credentials, but it was some kind of plastic surgeon for dental work. lol. Thank you for having this channel, and introducing me to your community who also helped me thru! I’ve chatted with others who’d gone thru it in your comments, and I thank God for that bc I had No one in my real life to speak with!
She is just wonderful! So intelligent and candid. Tells us exactly what goes on and what to expect. I need implants or dentures and I am just terrified. Thankyou so much Miss Jax for the information and for sharing your experiences with dentures and implants. Im going to subscribe and watch all your videos. Wish me luck!
Thank you for this video it was really helpful ❤
hi, it was you who gave me the strenght to start this journey, and I will always be grateful, I had my all-on-6 2 years ago, only one implant failed, they replaced it and I had no problem with them since, knock on wood, but the hybrid broke once and needed replacement, plus individual teeth keep on broking off, not sure why, so I wonder if you have had this problem too
I am so grateful for this video. I at 37 had no choice left after failed veneers and receding gums but to get these implants. I was so ashamed due to my age. Also I felt it changed my face. The shape of my lips everything. I cried in the dental office and even after healing didn't want to go in public. I still feel insecure . Your video gave me my confidence back. Thank you for doing this video
Dude I had to get implants at 38. You are not alone.
I'm 29 and about to get mine. 😢
I got full mouth dental implants done at 39. Years of loose or missing teeth. Never smiled without looking down for over 10 years. The all on 4 dental implants have been a God send. I was finally able to bite into food properly and actually smile confidently. The only thing I hate is that food really gets caught under the bridges and seeing all the chunks of food coming out when I use the water pick sucks.
Thank you all so much
@@SmittyPimp I feel the same way. I use the water floss and that helps a little but ya still I worry about my breath bcuz of that . Ty for sharing your experience
Hi, I appreciate you so much. I just canceled my trip to Turkey (Atlantic Dental )
because I'm just not feeling right about it. My friend is still going and although it is cheaper there. I decided to do more research and I came across you. I think the oral care is just as important. I am so afraid of it not being successful and spending so much money on implants.
I just found your channel , thank you so much . My goal is hybrid it has been 2 years since my treatment started lots of issue . I have denture . This week is my first appt with periodontist as I need a large bone graft prior to implants . I am 75 . I think I am too old but I cannot eat properly with these dental issues again. I pray I can have the implants . I do go to UNC Dental school they are fantastic and I do pay I do have an insurance they take. You give me hope .
Hi.Your teeth looks really natural and I think I have about 5 to 6(I'm 43 now) years left before I have to pull the trigger on deciding what to do with my teeth.i got 3 broken teeth and 2 wisdom teeth all in the back that's giving me an insane amount of pain so they gtg. I think living without pain EVERYDAY OF MY LIVE will make me do dental implants.thx for the vid.
Great video , I just invested
77k ( cold cash ) on my all in 4
Dental surgery, I’m still recovering, I just got the surgery in may 2024..
I’m wearing my temps RN..
so far , so good , I’m following my Dr’a orders to the T…..
thank you for your service 🙏🏾
You are the main one that has gotten me thru & continues to thru this nightmare, aside from my wonderful husband, my kids & my mom 🥺 I'm 2 1/2 wks out fr having all my root canaled BOTH TOP & BOTTOM extracted- endured having all my teeth root canaled 6yrs ago in hopes of saving my teeth but ended up here anyways & literally everything & all I know n have learned this far has been thru you 💔 The surgeon & the one in charge of creating my temp denture & will be making my perm snap on dentures, neither communicate what so ever 😭😭😭😭😭😭 The amount of suffering I've endured, there are no words & still, as of now, I suffer immensely fr chewing even the softest of foods,,, anything harder is definitely out of the question!
After being tortured during the stitches removal (my mouth was covered in stitches, top & bottom- I then needed to return 2 days later for what I assumed was just 1 left behind (ended up being 4) but at my follow up appointment yesterday (6 days after my 2nd trip in for Stitch removal) I was complaining so much about being unable to even breath w/o agony- they dug another stitch out 😣
Anyways, unwilling to trust them at all,,, what was to be a one day under full anesthesia surgery for all removed turned into a massive nightmare of only being able to have the tops dome because surgeon changed plans & decided to use conscious sedation which we had advised him does not work on me (combined w all my teeth being root canaled which means far more difficulty extracting!)
I had to return 4 days later to have bottoms done under full general anesthesia 😢
I completely do not trust at all anymore & still need to have the screws uncovered for the final process 💔 don't know what I'm going to do but I have been entirely miserable w just these temp dentures 😢
Somewhat the same here. Wackjobs. This was a mistake. I should hv went with each tooth implanted. Just one tooth implant will almost kill you if a female jawbone.
Been watching a lot of your videos. I am 30 and went to a new dentist who told me I need to get dentures. I’ve know for a while that my teeth were bad but I didn’t expect this so soon. I’m terrified but also excited to eat things I haven’t been able to in a long time and to also not have mouth pain in the future. Keep up your great videos
My husband has full set of dentures and he said it’s the best decision for him. No more pain and he used to have pain constantly. I don’t think i could adjust to dentures, but I need major work done 🤦♀️
oh my god , you went through sooooooo much hell ! God bless you
You have such a beautiful smile. I've been following your journey for a while now. I'm going through the process of getting implants myself. I have 12 posts and I'm having some problems with swelling still. It's been 2 years since I got the posts put in! I've had an allergy test done for titanium metal to see if it's the problem. Thank goodness I'm not allergic but I don't have any answers as to why this swelling is still happening. I don't want to get my teeth put in until it gets better. I'm getting bridges. I kinda wish now that I had gone the route of all on 4. I told my dentist that I wanted the closest thing to natural teeth.❤😊❤
Hey I got implants on Thursday. Similar situation as you. I was wearing dentures for 1 1/2 years and I started stressing over bone loss, so I figured it out, got some financing and here we are. When I first saw my temps in, oh boy I was super pissed. They looked small and crooked and the dentist is spewing all this "i'm trying to make corrections and adjustments to your bite." I was mad. I realize now it was because my face was all swollen and they look better now haha. Thank you for reassuring me my finals will look better too =)
I finally got my top denture 3 months ago and I've had nothing but trouble with them. I went back a couple of weeks later and saw someone different. He said just to use adhesive and you will probably need a new set in a year. I wash shocked. Anyway, watching your vlog today encouraged me to see the original guy. I have to wait until 10 November but hopefully it's worth it. ❤
Use cushion grip it will help them fit better and more comfortable
Wow, I can only imagine how terrifying all this would be particularly in your 20’s or 30’s. Thank God the technology has come so far from the ill fitting dentures of my grandma in the 70’s 😬. When I was younger I didn’t think my teeth would last and always feared facing what you are facing, but have made it into my 50’s and my teeth are still in pretty good shape relatively speaking. My heart is with you you all!❤
You are amazing!❤
Aloha! I’ve been listening/watching you for just a few months now. I’ll be getting my dental implants in a couple of months (June). All on 4s. I only have a few teeth left and they’re not worth saving, acc to the dentist. I’m very excited listening to your story.
I thank you 🙏 for sharing it with us! 🙏❤️😍
Howzit? Did you get the procedure done? Hope all is going well 🤙🏽🌈
Due to financial constraints and health concerns, I’m only able to get the implant retained lower right now. However, I’ve been waiting almost 10 years for this and start this Friday!
Thank you for your videos, as it helped me so much when I was first looking at having to go into a denture almost 8 years ago, being only 32! You helped me ease a lot of fear in thinking I was the only one!
Surgery is scheduled for the 29th!!!! I am excited
Hi there,
I watched all your videos and I want to say a “Big Thank You” for creating this content and sharing your story. At 40, I have to have all my teeth extracted and will have to wear dentures and that has always been my biggest fear, but I can’t continue living the way I have been living with gum recession, tooth pain and sensitivity because of the receding gums and gum disease, and not to mention loose bottom front teeth. It’s going to be a massive adjustment and huge learning curve but it will eventually get easier as my mouth will adjust to its new state. I want the snap in dentures but have to save for that, but will have the time available to me when I am wearing the immediate temporaries to aggressively save for quite possibly one of my biggest purchases and investment ever aside from university costs, etc. Lol. 😂
I can’t wait to have a second chance with straight and white false teeth and I know my confidence will boost and my mouth medical problems will eventually heal and go away with the proper treatments. Again, thank you and look forward to watching more content in the future. Cheers from Montréal, Canada!! 🙂
I have had my dentures for four years now and have contemplated implants but my insurance wouldn't cover them. I could pay cash but there are no guarentee's as to the results. I am comfortable with my dentures now. To begin with there is the mental thing you have to get over. When I realized I could now smile and eat and didn't have to shy away from people any more it wasn't that bad after all. I had a good surgeon so no problems there. Wouldn't dare let a dentist do it. I waited eight months for my mouth to heal before getting my permanent ones. I have never had anyone ask me if I had dentures and to this day I still have friends who don't know. Maybe I got lucky there and I feel for the people who have problems with theirs. Glad everything worked out for you and hope continued success with yours. You have beautiful eyes by the way...
Just think about it like a car payment. 5 years and done but worth it so much for your happiness you can take it without you when your die. Live now
.
Ive had dentures full upper and lower partial, been about 20 years. I never was in line cost wise for implants. Yours are beautiful. My age and boneloss after all these years make me a bad candidate. LOVE your videos
Hi I'm 21 and starting to loose my teeth, do you have to say anything for me from your 20 years denture experience 🥲 im really in depression ( sorry for my bad english )
@@hardluck112 I understand depression, try and find a really GOOD dentist, I found one on accident who didn't judge me, never gave me lectures, and was available to my entire family as dentist. He worked out a plan, it was between 4500-5000 usd, work was done in less than 2 years. I initially saw him for an abscess tooth. Just hang in there, I hadn't smiled (showing teeth, or what was left) in years, as soon as my work was complete my neighbor made me pose for pictures LOL!! Your friends will support you, children may ask questions (I worked in retail), but once I accepted me like that (front were broken and black, but no pain at all), I was able to move forward and take action. And, yes, I also am diagnosed with depression, so take care of that. I wish you all the luck and peace there is.
Thanks for the honest share - so glad you're enjoying your implants. This info helps so many people trying to navigate their own dental journeys!
I really wish I could get them I work two jobs and have a two year old my teeth are so out of control it’s all consuming and pure depression
I wish I could do a contest or sign a commercial contract or promotion I’d do anything to have them
Do not get 4 on 4, worst decision of my life. It completely ruined my life and these specialist are not bound by an oath to do no harm, their oath is get the hard earned money and provide no compassion to those who have been harmed.
Thank u so much for sharing
This woman is awsome. She is so honest and humble not to add very beautiful. The fears she share are so real and listening to a person like you share helps so many of us with the shame of tooth loss etc...Anyway thank you so much. If I instagrammed I'd follow😊 but I don't insta. Thanks again
this upcoming Wednesday nov.29 2023 i will be fitted with my finals or perms as you say , my process began with all extractions in april, could not have been more happy with my temps, many people would compliment how nice they looked, and people that knew i had this work done, would tell me that my teeth and smile looked better than theirs, a little under 2 months ago i was fitted with the prototype ,then they were removed and sent to the lab to create the final set, it was realy expensive, but for me it has been worth every penny.
You are Good! I am pissed!!! I see NO ONE Fighting to make a good smile. I am 50.... I work as a Care Manager.. I am NOT happy with this video. Yet I am happy for you!... God Bless ~ Charli
Thank you so much. Can you talk more about your cleaning routine? Thank you!
Hey there! Here's a video I made detailing my implant cleaning process: czcams.com/video/BupPNzV-piY/video.htmlsi=BxysG56fGaJzwaqI Hope this helps!
I also have teeth problems and I am going to the dentist today God bless me.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you so very very very much Kalin for sharing your experience and answering all of my questions. I'm getting All-On-4 and thinking about flying from the east coast out to Texas for my implants. But I'm worried if anything happens to my dental implants I would have to fly back to Texas. @KalinJax, how many days did you stay in Nevada for your surgery please?
Thanks for sharing 👍
You look fabulous. I wish I could win a contest. Thank you for sharing 🙏🏿
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat to see you back .😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😋😋😋😋😋😋😋
You talk perfectly. My implants I got a year ago I sound muffled lots of air escapes when talking. My mouth looks like I wear dentures. My dentist keeps telling me I need to practice speaking or go to a speech therapist Well we’re past that. And my dentist keeps dancing around my questions and says she feels there’s nothing more they could probably do. But the videos from patients they talk clearly and perfectly and a full mouth smile
You are sooo beautiful and your smile is unbelievable…
The dr called said he does a class to teach other drs and I have such great bone structure that he wants to do a full mouth for close to nothing😢 After failing the credit check. I’m so grateful, I don’t deserve this. Such a god shot! Thanks for your content
So very happy for you!!! Hope all goes well! 😊
thank you for this. I just got my implants 3 days ago and feel pretty good at the moment. I am afraid that I will be in pain when the numbness completely goes away. I am afraid to chew with these temporary teeth and yes they feel thick. I'll be watching your videos so I can prepare mentally what to expect next. 👌
eek I heard you should only consume smoothies soups etc for quite sometime after the implant operation. NO chewing or pressure. What were you advised?
@@aliiscott1346 Hello! actually I am able to eat soft foods such as, eggs, mashed potatoes, well cooked pasta, flakey fish, crock pot dishes and soft well cooked rice. No pain when I eat 👍
The temp teeth are thicker. When you get your permanent teeth, it feels more real.
I just had 25 teeth removed today I was scared to death about I have an anxiety disorder on top of it but I went and had it done I was surprised how simple it was and it it ddidnt hurt really only when he numbed it he didnt sedate me or give me nitrous so Im feeling pretty good i have a little pain not much I go back on December 4th to get the impressions done for my new dentures Im glad that the hard part is overwith Im glad I got it done now its just seeing if I can get used to the dentures any one who needsd to get this don Do it its not to bad and Kalinjax thank you for the videos very helpful
I lost my parents this past year and they had life insurance. My mom always was trying to help me get implants but it was so expensive. Im terrified to get this done!! Ive had 2 appointments now and i got 1 more before surgery. My surgery is April 4th. Im still going back and forth $40k is a lot of money to spend. 😮
Hi, thank you so much for sharing your journey! Can you say what mould your ivoclar teeth are?
@Kalinjax I just got my extractions yesterday. I couldn't stop the bleeding with the immediate dentures in, so I was instructed to take them out and stop the bleeding. So I did. Now I'm so swollen I can't put them back in and I'm so miserable. I'm trying so hard to trust the process but I feel pretty hopeless at this point.
Horrendous journey indeed. Thank you so much to tell us about your experience. But oh so important for people that really need to restore that chewing power but also the cosmetics, and these should be absolutely made the way you can look your very best, especially when you are in your 30's or younger. Your story will help many.
I’m 52 and about to take the plunge. I’m over here in the Philippines for now and based on my research it is much less expensive than back in the US.
Hi, I have been watching you over the past year and just had my teeth removed and implants put in on Saturday. I'm very swollen and bruised still, got my temporary teeth today which are very thick and bulky but I know final one's won't be. My top lip is still quite sunken in even with the temporary teeth and really hate this look. Did this happen to you and does it go back to normal after healing complete or is this something I need to remedy on getting final teeth 😬 thank you for your videos they have really helped me make this decision ❤
Hi, Kalinjax. I just wanted to let you know that I got my all on 4 surgery today! So far, so good😊 🙏 🙏
Thank you for ALL of your amazing videos that have helped led me up to this decision and journey. I am eternally grateful to you😊❤
So exciting!!! That’s such a huge step. You might be a little achy for a while and you might be weirded out by saliva and air passing through under the hybrids but it’s all normal. Congrats!!
@@kalinjax Thank you so much for for your kind and caring words! I really appreciate it😊 And thank you for the tips too. It will greatly help me. I too am documenting my journey here on CZcams, as you have inspired me to do so as well 🙏💙
How was your experience going thru the process? I need to get my done but I’m so scared to sit thru it. I’m such a baby 🤦🏻♀️
@jasmineflower7115 If you're asking me, it's honestly been great so far. Thank you for asking! I share my full journey on my youtube channel if you'd like to see for yourself. But definitely no pressure. And I know it seems scary at first, but you can do it! Have faith in yourself😊💙
@@jasmineflower7115 my last response to you didn't tag your name
i just busted into PERK 10 I just POPPED A PERK 10 @17:42 lmao ur teeth look gorgeous
Your reaction for when you got your implants was similar to mine when I got my denture (on top) and implant on the bottom.
I was doing the gorilla lips look and the only words out of my mouth was "this is weird."
One month in, I still have the gorilla lips look, but it isn't "as weird". My biggest concern is I want to eat.
When I can eat, then I think I will be more comfortable with the new set of teeth. And I will enjoy life more.
Thanks for this s video. I'm almost ready to get my bridge on three for my I'm front teeth. Been wearing an Essex retainer for three years. You can't eat or drink with it so when I eat in public I have to take it out and be toothless so I wear my Covid mask. Sometimes I forget and drink a latte and it stains the teeth orange. To clean it off is such a hassle. This has been such a long journey starting with two separate jaw surgeries in 2000 and full mouth restoration (30k) then. Now I'm spending another 40k for just the upper bridge.
Hi Kristi, I just love your informative videos on your journey this past 10 yrs. I had bone grafting, 6 implants with a retaining bar fitted on the upper jaw with a removeable denture done back in 2013. I have never regretted having the work done after years of feeling self conscious about the look of my mouth with regular dentures that never fit and looked awful. The trouble is, I've had 3 different over denture replacements and each time I cannot get the denturist to understand and make them look more natural especially the front 6 teeth.. They always look 'boxy' like you mention plus I always feel I have the 'granny mouth' look everytime. Can I ask where you go in Las Vegas for your implant dentures? Are there any tips for advice you can give me to have a denturist make my denture look more natural eg what shape, designed look of the front teeth etc. I would be most grateful. Thanks Carol
I believe she initially went to Dr. Golpa in Las Vegas for her all-on-4 implant work. Best of luck to you.
Good luck to you and everyone out there who are " smooth sailing " after a truly exhausting , complicated process of dental implantation .
Im affraid tough that you have a very wrong succes to failure percentage ratio ! The number of failed procedures is truly staggering ammounting to the highest reported ( least disclosed , untill recently ) !
We all have the right to accurate information to be able to take right decisions.
I’ve been watching your blogs and you’re fantastic. My wife and I are in need of getting single implants to our molars. Dentist A uses Straumann but is 3 times more than Dentist B, who swears by BioHorizons. Any thoughts?
You have a beautiful smile. I've been praying for you ❤
Thank you! Love you guys!
I applied for all the contest and now they don't seem to be doing them.
Your teeth look great. It probably made you a more humble sweet person bc you said when you were 20 you needed dentures. A lot of pretty young ppl can be rotten, but you seem great , it all probably worked out for the best
Your teeth look great! So are the final teeth acrylic or zirconia? 😊
Why in the heck are implants so expensive? It's a shame!!
Same reason all medical procedures are here in the US. It is called greed...
Dentists aren't regulated, they can charge whatever they want.
Will use my mom as example. She is in her 70s. The dentist wanted my mom. To get dentures. She has some crowns and bridge. He said dentures were the affordable option. With less maintenance required for them. She didn’t want to do that. So she has had implants. Two have failed. The dentist charged her to remove. Failed implant and put in new one. Because my mother has no dental insurance. That cost $5,000 per implant. If she would have gotten dentures. She could have got top of line dentures for less then that. My husband is disabled so dentures are going to fine. I probably will get them online. Which is something you shouldn’t do. But for $300-$600 I will have dentures. If I do nothing the infection will go into. My blood stream and kill me. Alive with dentures lots better. Then dead and no dentures.
Anesthesia is the most expensive part
In two days im having 19 teeth extracted and dentures. Your videos help me.
how did the extractions go?
@@moonlight_haze didn't feel a thing but 4 days in I'm still sore as hell. It's getting better though.
I was wondering who you went through in Jacksonville, Fl to get your Ivoclar teeth?
Hi Kay,
Are you able to do a video about Cubic Zirconia implants?
I heard they are stronger and really durable and eventually I want to get those. Right now it isn't possible because I just had my teeth extracted about one month ago.
But my long term goal is CZ implants. Don't know much about them, which is why I'm asking.
what are your thoughts on 3d printing digital dentures by dandy dental? First try in horrible. thin see through baby teeth and no suction on top plate. teeth small and pointed.
I have had my permanent dentures for 4 months and I hate the way they look. I’m in the uk and even tho I’ve paid for private treatment, the appointments are not freely available, so I’ve had to wait to see my dentist again. When the final impressions were taken back in May, a wax model of my permanent dentures were fitted for my approval. I said at the time that the teeth were too long and that I felt goofy in them. But my opinion was obviously ignored as my permanent set are as I feared. My own teeth were never big or long in length so why the dentist thought I’d adapt to them, I don’t know. I honestly wish I’d stayed with the temporary set. They felt like My old teeth and talking/eating were natural, along without the need for adhesive. So finally I saw my dentist last week and I think I’m getting another set made at his cost. He isn’t a bad guy at all and the fact that his patient waiting list is so long, reflects that. He made a strange comment asking me if I didn’t like the fuller feeling mouth!!! He was trying to be a beautician by making my face look younger with bigger teeth. Anyway, I’m getting it sorted I hope, but anyone reading this should speak out about anything they’re unhappy with before their permanent teeth are made.
PS…yes, cushion grip is ace 👍
How long does the bridges last? How much is replacing them?
I had all uppers removed 4 years ago, I like my denture. I just has all lowers done the other day, without denture due to emergency. I am looking into all this other stuff and not sure which route to take
The price is extreme! I lost all of mine 3 years after losing my 21 year old son and being in a deep depression for 3 years. In the process of getting snap in dentures. Don’t think I’ll ever be able to afford the implants.
Hi, quick question are the ones you have now acrylic or Zirconia? Have you done a video on this? I just wonder if it's worth it to spend the extra k on zirconia or not. Thank you!
The website link does not work. Is there an updated one ?
I’m considering implants, but I worry about the metal in my body. What materials are available and is there any good research about the safety, or not, out there? Thank you for your videos
This is my hesitancy as well. I was told only titanium is used for the implant into the bone.
God, how quickly time flies.
Is there a specific timeframe where you cannot get implants after having dentures? I’ve had dentures for almost 20 years and I’ve always wanted implants. But I’ve heard about bone loss and I’m wondering if there is some threshold for not being able to get implants. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
I agree many will not experience issues but the very fact that there are implants into the bone heighten your chances of heart disease let alone just regular infection. I had all of my teeth removed 7 years ago and I was constantly being pressured to get implants. I was told my mouth is to small and dentures won't work well. I was told I will always need to use denture glue, I was told I would get soars etc etc .. I spent a lot of time and research and decided on dentures. I can say without a doubt that it is one of the best decisions I've ever made. My teeth look great, I don't ever have to use glue, I can eat anything except bit into an Apple but that's no biggie I just cut it up. I am against implants personally but to each their own. My opinion is that the dental industry is pushing implants because with implants you still need to see the dentist on a regular. With dentures I never have to go unless there's some gum issue which I've never had. Dentures have come a long way. I choose no maintenance over huge price tag and constant check ups and my teeth look perfectly natural.
Lol implants do not highten chances of heart disease. Or, the implants themselves are not what "hightens the chances".
@@disco4535 of course not duh.. it's the infection that can still happen that is bad for heart health.
May I ask.....what type of denture and how much....more or less? I am scared but I need to have a healthier mouth and eat properly..it has been years.
@@cynthiabiel7714 I'm not sure of the brand to be honest. I spent weeks looking around on CZcams watching videos of people who got dentures. This way I knew exactly what to expect. They tried to scare me by saying il always need to by denture glue and this and that trying to get me to buy implants instead. I didn't want maintenance so I went with dentures. I love them, you can't tell they are dentures and they look great.
What is the name of the company who did your last set and where are they located ?
Just did a bone graft on my lower jaw ; no waiting for the regeneration of the bone 🙏🏾
My friend got a full mouth extraction but didn’t get all on 4 implants until 5 years later because of fear the implants would fail. Now he says it was the best decision and that he shouldn’t have waited.
I'm about to go down to Vegas and have my perseger done next month. Where did you get yours done at ?
