I totally agree with you about technology & the vibe. I used to go to a dentist that used old school X-ray, you had to go somewhere else to get extractions, crowns/bridges etc were done elsewhere. The office looked old & not inviting whatsoever. Also, the dentist wasn’t very friendly. I have no clue why I went there for a number of years, but I’m glad I finally found a great dentist. He had really good reviews & images I was able to look at before I decided to switch. The first time I visited, the staff was super nice, the doctor was nice & informative, they made a complete dental plan for me. I also loved how they made the office warm and inviting, as opposed to the closed in rooms of my former dentist’s office.
Another tip based on my own experience, if the practice is new, be careful, sometimes they want to make money fast and the way they bill is very confusing. I did all of those things you talked about, except I didn’t pay too much attention to the bad reviews because they weren’t that many. However, now that I started going for about a year and having a bridge removed getting ready for two implants and another extraction, I am realizing they’re scamming my insurance and myself. The problem is that my work is halfway done, so I have no choice but to wait until they put the implants in and remove myself from this office. Hopefully I can find another dentist, more honest and more transparent way of billing. P.S. One of the things they do which is a red flag and it was in one of the comments, was they charge you before they do the work and they make you sign the bill charging a lot of money before the services are rendered, beware of this.
I love these tips. Today I called your office before my appt with another dentist's office (in California) and whoever answered was kind, patient, and placed me on hold while she found my answer out. I appreciated that 100%.
I have been looking for a Dentist for a Year!!! You were Articulating what I was feeling and not being able to Express. The Five Points are Excellent. Thanks for bringing Quality of Care to the Dental Industry
Check the licensing board for complaints. Check the dental school they went to. Word of mouth. Age and experience. Get two or more opinions on what work needs to be done and the cost. I went to one dentist who said I needed seven crowns and wanted to charge $20,000. Another dentist said I only needed two crowns and charged $2000. A lot of dentistry is subjective. Do your homework.
Not that its subjective there is greed, and some go by what the insurance pays heard of someone because insurance covered in plant, they wanted to remove a tooth that they went somewhere else just need a small filling likely the insurance covered better for implants the second one filled it under something else to do what was best for the patient. There seems to be many crooked dentists out there was even a story on a Medicaid children's dentist pulling teeth and putting mental crowns on teeth that had nothing wrong the dentist refused moms from going in and torture the kids
You are so right about the “gut” feeling. Everything started nicely with the dentist I chose, but something changed. There had been a couple little things I thought didn’t seem right, but I just let it go because the office staff was so wonderful. But then something changed during my last visit. The dentist seemed “off.” I didn’t want to have to start all over again by trying to find a new dentist. But I was going to be spending a lot of money for crowns and a bridge. It’s a scary thing to hand over thousands of dollars for dental work just on my upper teeth. I was literally having anxiety about how my last visit went. I finally decided I wasn’t going back. Now I have to find someone else, but I felt so much better after I made my decision. If I feel better after telling the office I’m not going back, there’s has to be a good reason I feel relieved.
So true I went to one felt something off in my gut but then I brushed it off to not liking dental work done. I was in a fog over nervous that i just let the dentist do their work they started prep for crown relies they aren't going to be able to put a crown on because wisdom tooth is in the way not only can they not finish when I got home i realize it was one of my teeth that looked perfectly fine had no previse work and being i see my month while brushing I know there was no cavity on that tooth she claimed to have saw a crack that I never saw nor wasn't even in the x-ray. I now have a filed down tooth painful gums since tooth filed back there is an up-pocket space. going to a oral surgeon someone else recommend My gut was telling me not to use theirs they likely weren't going to check how the nerve was and just dive in. The oral surgeon i tried walking in I felt relaxed he took time to x- ray the whole month and really looked at what was going on he advise against having it removed the way the nerve was and the position of the tooth it was really high risk and he was Stright up if there is no infection the risk is not worth it. he could do it but there likely is going to be nerve damage no way of not irritating the nerve the way it was position and wrapped. the dental office I went to was likely to start work first before considering if it could be done they are more ruff an uncaring so 100% would have a paralyzed face were the other guy if I choose to he likely would be careful and had it out with as little damage possible plus small change of being lucky and it turning out just painful long healing But right know I don't feel its worth the risk since the chance of ok is only something like 30%
I had a RDA actually correct the dentist, in front of me, on what work should be done one of of my teeth. Not what he was going to do, but what he was saying he would. Which I agreed with, but then he changed his mind and agreed with her.
I found your CZcams live implant videos 2 weeks ago. Your practice is setting a new level of care in oral health. Thank you for that. Once things settle I plan to come see you from Florida. Please keep up the good work and posts. Many of us don't have social media accounts, but we do watch online content all the time.
I had a root canal done a couple of weeks ago and i loved the staff and my experience there. The only thing i didn't like was that they didn't really give me any after care instructions, except for the dentist's assistance she said not to drink anything too hot because my lip was gonna be numb for a while and that was it. It was my first root canal, and hopefully my last one. I really would have loved to recommend them if it wasn't for that. I didn't even think about it until after i left because i was in a hurry to get to work.
i would add a couple things. 1. compassion, and 2. honesty. 1 is obvious. but i have had dentists ram needles into my face without any regard. 2. is about not trying to upsell or trying to do work that would be better to send to a specialist. i guess honesty of course can cut all the way to dentists who deliberately try to create issues to increase billing which i have been a victim of. i would also add that social media doesn't mean beans. a lot of great dentists are way too busy to be posting to socials.
why are the costs of implants absolutely financially out of reach for the average person??? the cost of the inventory and the basic hardware I am sure is reasonable , your talent is certainly appreciated,what good is that if you don't do a lot of implants because your cost? It is a medical procedure because at the endof it you can eat, the look is a bonus. If the prices were fair there would not be tourism dentistry , which is far cheaper, even if part of the package is your hotel and a nurse or tecnician at bedside after. Don't even say the quality is less because I know it's not. There will always be the rare patient that has a problem but thats risk. Dentists and lawyers are the only professionals that can set there own price and it is not regulated.
Thank you Dr. O, your videos have given me many things to consider. I was a bout to crown 8 of my front teeth to correct broken and crooked smile. I had a terrible accident 4 years ago. Thank you so much
Im so glad you posted this video i haven't been to the dentist for a cleaning in year's because the last dentist i went to hit a artery pulling out a moler stuck cotton in my mouth flipped me up in the dentist chair said ok your all set. I endid up in the emergency room i guess he cut in to my sines also hit a artery .now for all these year's of course i have a 😱 so my teeth became worse! .i need a dentist like you .thank you for all you do for people you are the best & i see that you love what you do this is so important & life if you are confident then the patron will be confident !!! Super job Dr o !!!!! 😀✌✌
No 3 - The team. Geez, I had a dentist who started running his practice with revolving “team members” you didn’t know who they were or what their tasks were. A total nightmare.
My son went to a dentist that my husband and I went to. We didn't know at the time that he pulled out almost all of my teeth and 8 of my husbands while most of our teeth didn't need to be removed. They pulled out 5 of my sons teeth after they discussed 2 teeth that they didn't touch. When we finally realized how bad he had done. He had been fired and the dental group and they refused to see us again. My son is way to young to have been left with no functional teeth, because of the teeth he pulled an left. He can't smile or eat. Thanks for your tips. I wish he could see you.
Dr. O I really enjoy your videos!! I wish there was a dentist in my area that gives as much information as you! Your awesome! And very handsome☺️ thank you for all the information I’m looking to get a few implants in the near future.
I went to a dentist today for the first time in 12 years :( The xray girl was in a hurry, rushing around, and not listening/hearing to anything I said. Her "How are you today?" Me: "Scared", her "Good!"...and off we went She finally got done with the pics after fumbling with the xray machine... Her "You have any other concerns?" Me "Yeah, the Dr's age", Her "Great!!", and then walks out. Dr (1st year out of dentistry school) had the dead fish handshake, said "We'll take these 2 back teeth out, can prolly replace with a filler or implant, the hygienest will go over the options with you", and that was that. Not a real good feeling about it :( Fortunately, the xrays and 'exam' was free. Still though, :(
Oh how I wish I were closer to you. I could tell stories from childhood, horror stories, and am embarrassed re my current oral health. Dr. I struck chords in me that so many other dentaphobe videos and ads just did not. I really need to think about this because I feel I could walk right into your practice, have excellent results and be. Ares for as a valuable human being. Much thinking to do…
Glad you pointed this out .. This very important and the same thing applies to people for finding a hairstylist, real estate agent, nd like you said restaurants.. Great video
This is extremely informative and u really love what you do. Maybe explain why cost of dental treatments in America is very expensive. Everyone has allready mentioned they can't afford it!! This seems like a setback for people and eventually settle for cheap dental work.
I'm actually going to be leaving my dentist!! I been going to them for years only because it was close to home while my other doctors were closer to work!! I can't stand most of the ppl there including one of the dentists! That receptionist is a doozy!! I had to nicely check them a couple of times!! Ican count on one hand how many people are decent!! I wish you guys were here in NYC!! BTW do you guys know of a practice here in NYC that you can recommend??!!
I have a hard time finding a dentist that can help me. Because I have a hearing disability, sound causes me pain so going to the dentist will cause me pain no matter what. I was treated whilst I was under anesthesia but that dentist messed up badly. There are a lot if problems with my teeth, but one example is that my molar had a cavity that was drilled out, but wasn't filled. So one year later I had to have that molar extracted. Now I am looking for a dentist who can help me getting all on 4 or all on 6 dentures, whilst I am under anesthesia. I adore my own dentist, he always tried his best helping me, but since he doesn't do anesthesia, he can't treat me anymore. But I am welcome to come back after for the regular checkups
I'm glad I watched you. I went to a dentist for a crown and my insurance refused to cover after I had the temporary crown put in place. I should have checked for in network, but the staff told me they have clients with my insurance. My insurance policy states it pays 50 % out of network for crowns. Now, I'm stuck with a $3, 507 bill and a temporary crown in my mouth waiting on the crown to arrive. What would you do?
I live in Tallahassee, Fl and all the dentists are shady and do unnecessary dental work when I feel like they could have saved the teeth. I would love to go here!
Thank you so much this has been very very helpful... I have been to countless dentist that just errrr...I am Still searching..... Hopefully this coming up week I'll find that one dentist... Everything u have said was so on point... Thank you.....
Awesome videos, I'm about to board a flight to Bangkok for some work, but followed you're advice about doing the due diligence, I'm also vacationing, if I was in USA I'd be in Springfield, thanks Doc
how do you check if a dentist you’re looking into is experienced in cosmetic dental procedures?? is there any certification us patients should look for?
A point is to find not only enthusiams but also compassionate and won't go mental when they see you shaking like a leaf,but will be gentle and do it in such a manner you won't need to spend even more money. Regarding,techonolgy,I wanted to ask . What of piezzo technology? What i heard its efficent and the post recovery is better.
2 appointments regardless of age. one to do the surgery. then it has to heal. one to install the fake tooth. i guess some dentists do bone grafting but that's questionable. you have to first see if there's enough bone to do the implant.
Dr. O of Innovative Dental, thanks for the information & the advice! And, I have to say, these tips are also applicable for seeking out a good doctor! And if these tips are true of dentistry, how much more serious it is with regard to medical practices that deal with vital organs & life-sustaining systems of the body? This is not to say dentistry is not in & of itself a major thing for maintaining or gaining health, but you know what I'm saying. One will most likely be able to survive a visit to a not so good dentistry office & without losing much more than dollars not well spent, but very many people with major health problems & even some with minor never get to tell the tale of having visited a doctor's office violating the tips you ask would-be patients to consider while others live with tragic ramifications to tell a tale that never ought to have been formed in the first place. I cannot help but tell this. I started going to a new primary care doctor just a couple or so months ago &, unbelievably, one of the preliminary forms I was handed to fill out had a section that said something like, "Have you ever used any of these substances," & then followed "Marijuana," "LSD," etc, & guess what? Every single box was checkmarked already by some prior person! Probably this occurred because the office staff just proceeded to make copies of the said sheet without noticing that these boxes had already been checkmarked! I drew a big "X" over it all, because I've never been a drug abuser in my life (I don't even like to have to take medication), never been a smoker (cannot even stand the smell of tobacco, etc), & never been a lover of alcohol (I talk against it every chance I get, oft using Proverbs 20:1 & also the later part of Proverbs 23, among others, to warn or to discourage people from it). Then I brought it to the front desk's attention. After this, they did an ultrasound on me with a technician brought in from an establishment they contract for such, I guess, & my results paperwork came back with a different "DOB" & "Age" showing on it, believe it or not! One major lesson of these stories? A person should never just be signing off on things in paperwork without first reading & asking questions as to what they are signing off on, & also pay attention to print apart from paperwork to sign off on.
I have so much anxiety now after seeing a dentist that made it seem like I was going to lose my teeth the next day because she said I have gum recession and would need a deep cleaning that would cost 600 dollars AFTER insurance. I then went to another dentist and they said I was still able to do a regular cleaning and that I should just go back in 6 months to see where I was. I’m just so confused and stressed out I obviously don’t want to lose my teeth and I don’t know what to believe. My anxiety is through the roof I’m so scared to get another opinion now. Could you please please make a video on this topic of gum recession?? I wish I could just go see you. God bless you!
I'm learning so much from watching your channel. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge, it truly has been helpful. I have a lot to think about before my scheduled first root canal. IF I decide to go down that route, would you recommend going to a specialist or your regular dentist for the root canal? My dentist recommended a specialist and then later stated I could have the root canal done at her office. I was a bit confused as to why she changed her mind. I asked her and she stated the specialist charge way more than she would, but I'm not too concerned about the cost more than I am about the success of the root canal. I am scared out of my mind about this whole thing, and honestly, I have no idea what to do. After watching, Root Cause on Netflix, I am so scared to have a root canal. Have you seen this documentary? Please share your thoughts on it if you have.
Will it come out before March 12th? I would like to make a well thought out decision before actually getting this root canal. @@InnovativeDentalofSpringfield
@@reyesfour general Dentist can do specialist dose many and would be more skilled so on tricky ones better but for those with more roots or curved roots you would want the specialist other wise genral dentists are normally fine I say normally cause its hard to trust with so many crooked dentists out there its hard to know who to trust. since your post is old you already way past making a decision have had it done for awhile. Hopefully you took the advise from vid an went with your gut so much corruption
I usually can help people in one to 2 visits. ;). Go to YourSmileDestination.com to reserve your virtual consultation and we’ll see what I can do for you. - Dr. O
You might be overstating the importance of excitement and enthusiasm. You are describing and outgoing person not necessarily a competant person. When I find a place that requires all their employees to be extroverts I'm afraid they are trying to make up for lack of something more important.
I have the greatest dentist ever... I was afraid to lose some of my teeth... And all my dentist responded with was.. "I see possibilities" Like god damn man.. I know you guys like the money, but jeezz..
I had a great dentist for 20 years. His crowns were little works of art. Then his son decided to go to dental school and take over the practice. The charges doubled then tripled. Then they stopped taking insurance. No discounts for cash. A teeth cleaning went from $100 to $300. I really hope I never need anything more then a cleaning because so far I havent found a dentist that I truly find as amazing as my former dentist
The most annoying is I couldnt get a copy of my records. They refused. They said a new dentist could just call to get questions answered. So disappointing
Are you done with your invisalign treatment? I just started mine and you're definitely right about it being a weight loss thing too. I like to snack throughout the day and it drives me crazy that I cant do that now, Im constantly thinking about food but I cant have any haha.
I'm looking for a good dentist in turkey the problem I have is you say look at reviews but I have a roofing coming and every day I get company's contact me saying they can give me millions of reviews, and there are companies out there that just bulshit the reviews, I'm so having troblem trying to find a good practice, I need so much work doing and, Im. Not rich at all so like 6k to 8k on my teath is a masive amount of money, please wish me luck, thanks for your video
👍👍 I'm coming to see you doctor!!! When I first watched you on your other videos , I can feel that you know what you're doing and I can feel that I can trust you! 😁🙏 That's why I don't mind driving an extra miles to come and get help from you doc!!! Right now my top and bottom teeth do not line up correctly and I can't chew! I also keep biting on my lips when I chewed! I need several implants, because I just have 5 teeth removed, plus I lost my upper parture denture and I'm depressed! Please help!!!😫😢😭
it makes me really sad watching your videos because of how much i want to find a great dentist and that your not in my area. you're just perfect i wish you were my dentist i'm really anxious with my teeth i feel like every dentist i go just wants the easy way or profitable way for them and not feel like they care about my teeth or as a patient *sigh
Hello, People travel from out of state nearly everyday to come see us. We are able to complete treatment in as little as a single visit. I would love to help you. Visit YourSmileDestination.com to reserve your consultation.
I’ve trusted my dentist to do lots of work...I’ve spent a good amount of money and I’m not too happy with the outcome. What does one do in this situation?
Hey Dr. O. Wondering what would be better in the long run. For a 34yr old. Implants and trying to salvage a few teeth or getting them all ripped out and doing All on 4?
can you do a video on what you do to confront the fear of needles? I am absolutely terrified of needles, and I have overcome the fear probably about 75%, where I can take a shot in the arm, or a blood draw or an iv, but I am terrified of getting one in the mouth. I keep giving my current office chances to help me over come this fear but time and time again, i am disappointed, and it sucks because i already have an account there, and pay for their services, and I dont want to leave, especially if it will cost me more to leave.
ugh i want to come to innovative dental so badly but i live in florida :,( ... all of my family lives in st. louis though so hopefully i can swing by someday!
Hey Tracy, noticed dentists doesn't like to reply or discuss mini implants most of them are not familiar or not trained to do mini implants only a few does keep searching because there a few out here don't give up.
Hi Tracey. Sorry to just now be getting back to you. Mini implants are an ok solution for lower implant dentures that are not great for single tooth replacement.
@@InnovativeDentalofSpringfield No problem, yeah I spoke with my dentist and he there's no longevity with them. I figured that was the case. There isn't much public info about them.
Doc I have a question lets say you have started Invisalign through a local dentist but your still not getting the results you want can you switch over to a orthodontist to finish your treatment?
I totally agree with you about technology & the vibe. I used to go to a dentist that used old school X-ray, you had to go somewhere else to get extractions, crowns/bridges etc were done elsewhere. The office looked old & not inviting whatsoever. Also, the dentist wasn’t very friendly. I have no clue why I went there for a number of years, but I’m glad I finally found a great dentist. He had really good reviews & images I was able to look at before I decided to switch. The first time I visited, the staff was super nice, the doctor was nice & informative, they made a complete dental plan for me. I also loved how they made the office warm and inviting, as opposed to the closed in rooms of my former dentist’s office.
How did it go?
Finding a dentist you can trust is a pain! Thank you for the awesome breakdown, very helpful.
Thanks for watching and glad it was helpful.
Good point about making the money back on technology...I am positive this is the reason many offices don't constantly upgrade.
When you like what you do...it shows! Thank you
Another tip based on my own experience, if the practice is new, be careful, sometimes they want to make money fast and the way they bill is very confusing. I did all of those things you talked about, except I didn’t pay too much attention to the bad reviews because they weren’t that many. However, now that I started going for about a year and having a bridge removed getting ready for two implants and another extraction, I am realizing they’re scamming my insurance and myself. The problem is that my work is halfway done, so I have no choice but to wait until they put the implants in and remove myself from this office. Hopefully I can find another dentist, more honest and more transparent way of billing.
P.S. One of the things they do which is a red flag and it was in one of the comments, was they charge you before they do the work and they make you sign the bill charging a lot of money before the services are rendered, beware of this.
So true. It happened to me also.
I love these tips. Today I called your office before my appt with another dentist's office (in California) and whoever answered was kind, patient, and placed me on hold while she found my answer out. I appreciated that 100%.

Thanks for bringing Quality of Care to the Dental Industry
Check the licensing board for complaints. Check the dental school they went to. Word of mouth. Age and experience. Get two or more opinions on what work needs to be done and the cost. I went to one dentist who said I needed seven crowns and wanted to charge $20,000. Another dentist said I only needed two crowns and charged $2000. A lot of dentistry is subjective. Do your homework.
Not that its subjective there is greed, and some go by what the insurance pays heard of someone because insurance covered in plant, they wanted to remove a tooth that they went somewhere else just need a small filling likely the insurance covered better for implants the second one filled it under something else to do what was best for the patient. There seems to be many crooked dentists out there was even a story on a Medicaid children's dentist pulling teeth and putting mental crowns on teeth that had nothing wrong the dentist refused moms from going in and torture the kids
Good advice.

How is it going?

11 dentists didn't love this video so far. LOL. Good information. I'm looking for a good dentist for crowns/veneers in the Phoenix area.
Haha im here from Springfield, Illinois!! Soon to be dental assistant!! I start my classes for it in July!!
I don’t care about customer service. I’m not paying customer service to work on my teeth I need to be reassured that the dentist does quality work
great job 💡
always be happy aamin💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
I already have a great dentist!
Dr. O I really enjoy your videos!! I wish there was a dentist in my area that gives as much information as you! Your awesome! And very handsome☺️ thank you for all the information I’m looking to get a few implants in the near future.
I went to a dentist today for the first time in 12 years :(
The xray girl was in a hurry, rushing around, and not listening/hearing to anything I said.
Her "How are you today?" Me: "Scared", her "Good!"...and off we went
She finally got done with the pics after fumbling with the xray machine...
Her "You have any other concerns?" Me "Yeah, the Dr's age", Her "Great!!", and then walks out.
Dr (1st year out of dentistry school) had the dead fish handshake, said "We'll take these 2 back teeth out, can prolly replace with a filler or implant, the hygienest will go over the options with you", and that was that.
Not a real good feeling about it :( Fortunately, the xrays and 'exam' was free. Still though, :(
Oh how I wish I were closer to you. I could tell stories from childhood, horror stories, and am embarrassed re my current oral health. Dr. I struck chords in me that so many other dentaphobe videos and ads just did not. I really need to think about this because I feel I could walk right into your practice, have excellent results and be. Ares for as a valuable human being. Much thinking to do…
Glad you pointed this out .. This very important and the same thing applies to people for finding a hairstylist, real estate agent, nd like you said restaurants.. Great video
Very informative! Can you make a Video about how to eliminate the caries bacteria in the mouth and what good oral hygiene actually includes?
Probiotics
Thank you !
This is extremely informative and u really love what you do.
Maybe explain why cost of dental treatments in America is very expensive.
Everyone has allready mentioned they can't afford it!! This seems like a setback for people and eventually settle for cheap dental work.
my teeth cleaning is $25 and i live in the us. my insurance from work makes it $25…
Great Videos!! Keep them coming. This is the best dental channel on CZcams.
I'm actually going to be leaving my dentist!! I been going to them for years only because it was close to home while my other doctors were closer to work!! I can't stand most of the ppl there including one of the dentists! That receptionist is a doozy!! I had to nicely check them a couple of times!! Ican count on one hand how many people are decent!! I wish you guys were here in NYC!! BTW do you guys know of a practice here in NYC that you can recommend??!!
Excellent advice, Dr. O....definitely sharing this video!
I will you are my dentist. You have great personality. You really take your time to explain. I love the way you doing business.
Handsome and kind Doctor
🥰🥰🥰🥰 Love from here Nigeria
Thank you for the inf ..
I been seeing an implant specialist and Its been stressful. These tips have been amazing
How did it go?
I have a hard time finding a dentist that can help me. Because I have a hearing disability, sound causes me pain so going to the dentist will cause me pain no matter what. I was treated whilst I was under anesthesia but that dentist messed up badly. There are a lot if problems with my teeth, but one example is that my molar had a cavity that was drilled out, but wasn't filled. So one year later I had to have that molar extracted. Now I am looking for a dentist who can help me getting all on 4 or all on 6 dentures, whilst I am under anesthesia.
I adore my own dentist, he always tried his best helping me, but since he doesn't do anesthesia, he can't treat me anymore. But I am welcome to come back after for the regular checkups
I'm glad I watched you. I went to a dentist for a crown and my insurance refused to cover after I had the temporary crown put in place. I should have checked for in network, but the staff told me they have clients with my insurance. My insurance policy states it pays 50 % out of network for crowns. Now, I'm stuck with a $3, 507 bill and a temporary crown in my mouth waiting on the crown to arrive. What would you do?
I live in Tallahassee, Fl and all the dentists are shady and do unnecessary dental work when I feel like they could have saved the teeth. I would love to go here!

Thank you so much this has been very very helpful... I have been to countless dentist that just errrr...I am Still searching..... Hopefully this coming up week I'll find that one dentist... Everything u have said was so on point... Thank you.....
Awesome videos, I'm about to board a flight to Bangkok for some work, but followed you're advice about doing the due diligence, I'm also vacationing, if I was in USA I'd be in Springfield, thanks Doc
how do you check if a dentist you’re looking into is experienced in cosmetic dental procedures?? is there any certification us patients should look for?
I need this what ever this takes I'm still looking forward to this
You really are amazing at what you do!
Have you done an updated Invisalign video?
I did. Thanks am completely let’s and smiling. It was a great experience.
A point is to find not only enthusiams but also compassionate and won't go mental when they see you shaking like a leaf,but will be gentle and do it in such a manner you won't need to spend even more money. Regarding,techonolgy,I wanted to ask . What of piezzo technology? What i heard its efficent and the post recovery is better.
How long does the process of a inplant in the molar of a health elderly person take?
2 appointments regardless of age. one to do the surgery. then it has to heal. one to install the fake tooth. i guess some dentists do bone grafting but that's questionable. you have to first see if there's enough bone to do the implant.
Dr. O of Innovative Dental, thanks for the information & the advice!
And, I have to say, these tips are also applicable for seeking out a good doctor! And if these tips are true of dentistry, how much more serious it is with regard to medical practices that deal with vital organs & life-sustaining systems of the body?
This is not to say dentistry is not in & of itself a major thing for maintaining or gaining health, but you know what I'm saying. One will most likely be able to survive a visit to a not so good dentistry office & without losing much more than dollars not well spent, but very many people with major health problems & even some with minor never get to tell the tale of having visited a doctor's office violating the tips you ask would-be patients to consider while others live with tragic ramifications to tell a tale that never ought to have been formed in the first place.
I cannot help but tell this. I started going to a new primary care doctor just a couple or so months ago &, unbelievably, one of the preliminary forms I was handed to fill out had a section that said something like, "Have you ever used any of these substances," & then followed "Marijuana," "LSD," etc, & guess what? Every single box was checkmarked already by some prior person! Probably this occurred because the office staff just proceeded to make copies of the said sheet without noticing that these boxes had already been checkmarked! I drew a big "X" over it all, because I've never been a drug abuser in my life (I don't even like to have to take medication), never been a smoker (cannot even stand the smell of tobacco, etc), & never been a lover of alcohol (I talk against it every chance I get, oft using Proverbs 20:1 & also the later part of Proverbs 23, among others, to warn or to discourage people from it). Then I brought it to the front desk's attention.
After this, they did an ultrasound on me with a technician brought in from an establishment they contract for such, I guess, & my results paperwork came back with a different "DOB" & "Age" showing on it, believe it or not!
One major lesson of these stories? A person should never just be signing off on things in paperwork without first reading & asking questions as to what they are signing off on, & also pay attention to print apart from paperwork to sign off on.
I have so much anxiety now after seeing a dentist that made it seem like I was going to lose my teeth the next day because she said I have gum recession and would need a deep cleaning that would cost 600 dollars AFTER insurance. I then went to another dentist and they said I was still able to do a regular cleaning and that I should just go back in 6 months to see where I was. I’m just so confused and stressed out I obviously don’t want to lose my teeth and I don’t know what to believe. My anxiety is through the roof I’m so scared to get another opinion now. Could you please please make a video on this topic of gum recession?? I wish I could just go see you. God bless you!
I'm learning so much from watching your channel. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge, it truly has been helpful. I have a lot to think about before my scheduled first root canal. IF I decide to go down that route, would you recommend going to a specialist or your regular dentist for the root canal? My dentist recommended a specialist and then later stated I could have the root canal done at her office. I was a bit confused as to why she changed her mind. I asked her and she stated the specialist charge way more than she would, but I'm not too concerned about the cost more than I am about the success of the root canal. I am scared out of my mind about this whole thing, and honestly, I have no idea what to do. After watching, Root Cause on Netflix, I am so scared to have a root canal. Have you seen this documentary? Please share your thoughts on it if you have.
I am working on a video in response to the documentary. Should be done in a couple weeks.
Will it come out before March 12th? I would like to make a well thought out decision before actually getting this root canal. @@InnovativeDentalofSpringfield
@@reyesfour general Dentist can do specialist dose many and would be more skilled so on tricky ones better but for those with more roots or curved roots you would want the specialist other wise genral dentists are normally fine I say normally cause its hard to trust with so many crooked dentists out there its hard to know who to trust. since your post is old you already way past making a decision have had it done for awhile. Hopefully you took the advise from vid an went with your gut so much corruption

Thanks, your advice help me a lot to know how to find a good dentist, where is your practice or dental office.
Do You Have Any Affiliate Offices In NYC Or Do You Know Of Any Great Dentist In NYC?
Please Doctor
I lost one of my front teeth
Which should I go for?
Dr. thanks for all the information, I wish you were in my city , but you were so far away for me to go see you.
I wish you lived close to your office. I definitely going to need your help. Fort Lauderdale, FL
Never go to a dentist who can't do root canals/cosmetic work
Thank my vibe was right.
Why not? My dentist doesn't do root canals, he's great.
Why?
I love your investment techniques.
You might be overstating the importance of excitement and enthusiasm. You are describing and outgoing person not necessarily a competant person. When I find a place that requires all their employees to be extroverts I'm afraid they are trying to make up for lack of something more important.
IMO...not true
TRUEEEEEEEEEEE and same. I prefer a curt and serious doctor who knows the hell out of their craft
@@asuari7305 I had a dentist like that once. Very skilled and experience but all down to business. I mean he was okay.
Some examples of basic technology one could expect...
Great talk. Still aspire to do a cosmetictreatment. I think you do a great job and have great equipment.
I have the greatest dentist ever... I was afraid to lose some of my teeth... And all my dentist responded with was.. "I see possibilities" Like god damn man.. I know you guys like the money, but jeezz..
Right???
Good day Doc.O my tooth wasnt that badly decay but ive come to 2 dentist already and they cant try to restore my tooth always say for extraction just
thank you that was validating!
Good tips for finding a dentist!!! I live in SW Florida..
Thanks. Very good advice!
I did go to dr in Arizona I was a perfect teeth he just missed it and naw after only 2 months after filling I need root canal
I had a great dentist for 20 years. His crowns were little works of art. Then his son decided to go to dental school and take over the practice. The charges doubled then tripled. Then they stopped taking insurance. No discounts for cash. A teeth cleaning went from $100 to $300. I really hope I never need anything more then a cleaning because so far I havent found a dentist that I truly find as amazing as my former dentist
The most annoying is I couldnt get a copy of my records. They refused. They said a new dentist could just call to get questions answered. So disappointing
Dr O what do you think about, and if you can explain about bone lose, Front teeth 🦷 considering dental implants, 4 front teeth upper front teeth
Thank you
Hope u can advice me what would be the best thing i can do..
Are you done with your invisalign treatment? I just started mine and you're definitely right about it being a weight loss thing too. I like to snack throughout the day and it drives me crazy that I cant do that now, Im constantly thinking about food but I cant have any haha.

Well from all the dentist’s I checked already u in my list 😝
it makes me really sad watching your videos because of how much i want to find a great dentist and that your not in my area. you're just perfect i wish you were my dentist i'm really anxious with my teeth i feel like every dentist i go just wants the easy way or profitable way for them and not feel like they care about my teeth or as a patient *sigh

I’ve trusted my dentist to do lots of work...I’ve spent a good amount of money and I’m not too happy with the outcome. What does one do in this situation?
Hey Dr. O. Wondering what would be better in the long run. For a 34yr old. Implants and trying to salvage a few teeth or getting them all ripped out and doing All on 4?
can you do a video on what you do to confront the fear of needles? I am absolutely terrified of needles, and I have overcome the fear probably about 75%, where I can take a shot in the arm, or a blood draw or an iv, but I am terrified of getting one in the mouth. I keep giving my current office chances to help me over come this fear but time and time again, i am disappointed, and it sucks because i already have an account there, and pay for their services, and I dont want to leave, especially if it will cost me more to leave.
It's really just mind power. Everyone that gets the work gets them, it's a short moment but then it starts to numb and you're fine
ugh i want to come to innovative dental so badly but i live in florida :,( ... all of my family lives in st. louis though so hopefully i can swing by someday!
Doc, u should open a place here, largest army base on earth, no counting the residents of counties. ft bragg
Dr. O what are your thoughts on mini implants?
Hey Tracy, noticed dentists doesn't like to reply or discuss mini implants most of them are not familiar or not trained to do mini implants only a few does keep searching because there a few out here don't give up.
Hi Tracey. Sorry to just now be getting back to you. Mini implants are an ok solution for lower implant dentures that are not great for single tooth replacement.
@@InnovativeDentalofSpringfield No problem, yeah I spoke with my dentist and he there's no longevity with them. I figured that was the case. There isn't much public info about them.
Hahahaha I wish it were that easy!! The place where I go is horrible!!! Ugh!!!!!
Doctor, i just want some idea, about how long do I have to wait to get the implants after I have my teeth pulled? Thank you.
I typically wait about 2-3 weeks after extraction unless the tooth was lost to fracture, then I sometimes will place the implant immediately.
@@InnovativeDentalofSpringfield thank you, but how come the dentist that I went to, said about one year! (To let the gums heal.)
I totally agree. Many choices I make are 75% on vibe.
I have been wearing denture for 2 years now, but I feel this hotness of the mouth
I don't feel comfortable
What should I do?
Please tell me
Am in pain
The dentist looks like footballer Kevin De Bruyne lol
Doc I have a question lets say you have started Invisalign through a local dentist but your still not getting the results you want can you switch over to a orthodontist to finish your treatment?
Very informative
Thanks.
nice ❤❤😂😂
How I wish you were in my country 😪
