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

I have 20 yrs of work yet. If I waited another 5 yrs then it becomes more expensive per year. Make sense? It’s how I rationally calculated anyway. lol. Good luck!

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

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

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

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

    Wow I can't believe you went for this option. I'm glad you did it anyway. I was offered that. But because I am diabetic and on dialysis my doctors were worried about bleeding and infections. So they said no implants. So I decided to search for a Dentist that that used the CEREC System. This is an all digital system. They first scan your tooth or teeth instead of taking putty mold. Then the dentist designs the new tooth with 3D software. And then puts a dye in a milling machine. 15 minutes later you have a new tooth. Stronger than porcelain.
    The first session I sat in the chair for 8 hours.
    In that first session my whole bottom teeth were replaced.
    Minus one tooth we ran out of time.
    Second session was 9 hours in the chair.
    That last bottom was finished. And all my uppers were done.
    There is a total of 3 bridges that are permanent.
    But some work is being finsihed.
    Prior to starting that I ended up needing 3 root canals.
    And one tooth today was pulled because of a fracture. That tooth was under one ofthe bridges. The bridges at this writing are temporary until he came make the permanent.
    But it only took two sessions to get my smile back.
    So I do tell people to search for dentists that use the CEREC system. Not all dentist that have the CEREC system have the milling machine.
    I love my dentist and I love the CEREC System as an alternative to a 4 or 6 on one implant.
    Mine you have to have strong teeth to do what I did. But I did have already cap/crowns. And my front teeth had grounded down to nothing. From grinding my teeth at night.
    The other option if you are not in pain is snap-on teeth. Which worked but I wanted my own.
    Cost you ask?

    I have just finished my journey down the exact same road Ryan. All your reasons and rational where exactly the same as mine, and sadly what my teeth turned into where the same also. I promise it will be easier than you imagine and the positives will be well worth it. I waited 40 years, you are smart to move sooner on it than I did. Thanks for sharing; may last visit is next week and i am a different person for it.

    I have very similar issues and it has ruined my self-esteem. Money is also an issue. As horrible as Covid has been and the part it has played in my teeth getting worse, masks have been a blessing for hiding my teeth. I can only imagine how much this procedure will cost but, I'm very happy for you and look forward to your results. Good luck.

    Your smile is better than mine, I have grown up with crooked teeth, but right before the pandemic hit I had 2 taken out, then there was the pandemic. Then this January I had to have 2 more removed, and they told me I had to wait 3-4 months to heal before I can have implants. I was so swollen and bruised for the first month.

    I lost teeth through illness, stress and infection so this year I did something about it. 3 extractions, 2 sinus lifts, 7 implants and total refit all Zirconium crowns. Very happy but it was an awful journey, three hours of painful surgery. I paid 14000 euros in Turkey.

      @TheFiown Před 2 měsíci

      Where to start ! Pain for six months at least, stitches (over 50) causing bleeding, bone fragments (bone grafting) coming through my gums all over the place. Many teeth were filed too near the nerve so can't drink hot or cold. A local dentist said that the implants have taken, it's been well over a year, so I now have to go back and have the permament crowns put in and also the nerves taken out of the sensitive teeth. The top teeth which are temporary zircon crowns look flat and fake to I will tell them to listen when I speak and choose ! They are so used to people going for the ultra ultra white Instagram smile that they assume that everyone wants the same. I don't have that lifestyle, thank god ! I am overall dissapointed but it needed done and there was no way that I could afford French dentists so all in all, ok with reservations. @@eeZyy_

Teeth pain can be the worst and then trying to hide the damage can take a toll on oneself. I live with this every day and wish when I was your age they had this option. I am still hoping to one day get this done! I am disabled so financially it will be a struggle but maybe my little bit of furniture flipping will help me get there sooner! You have inspired me and, I am sure, many others. You look so happy and excited and I hope we see you more often in your videos!

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