Dental Implant Problems 

I have one, don’t do it

@@SweetUareDesi why not?

VALENTINE: Yeah, been having bad probs with my natural teeth (falling to bits & not much left to save). And when I saw my dentist yesterday, I asked him about implants - if they are problematic. And he confirmed this. This is very disappointing.

@@bigcityjunglecatenvisageth1422 What did he say exactly?

@@FEARisCOLD: Yeah, when I went in there he saw that the problem with my tooth was that there wasn't hardly much left of it (the same as before with another tooth). So he just patched it up with a filling (for as long as it'll hold out) then he advised about an extraction. But when he said this (about having to lose my teeth) this only leaves me with two options - either dentures or implants. And because I don't want horrible dentures (which need to be taken out at night, etc) I was thinking more towards implants - which I previously heard had problems. So I asked my dentist if implants are "problematic" and he just said "yes they are". But this is all he said about it and did not extend the conversation. This is why I am searching out these videos about dental implants so as I can learn something more about it. But with all of this so called medical/dental science in the modern day, and it seems they cannot solve the problem of tooth-decay and tooth loss. It's just awful and leaves me feeling lost for what to do.

There is no bad implants only bad dentists!

What? You're a nurse and you've taken care of patients with problems due to implants??

What would you do instead of an implant?

My experience is that almost all male dentists lie.

My auntie has had implants for nearly 20 years, and she got them in Pakistan even, not a single issue to date.

How is it going??

@@sl4983 Good. I get the 2nd phase of it done today. The temporary crown.

How much it's paining??

You are wrong.... a tooth implant is a very small screw. Ppl have full knee or ankle replacements due to trauma and they are just fine

Hello David! Hope you are having great time.. I am about to recieve an implant next month. Could you please share how do you keep the gumline surrounding implant clean? Is regular flossing enough or should I get Dental Water jet?

@@radhikashey360 The most important part, is to brush your teeth, the last thing you do at night, try avoiding French kissing at all costs, and of course clean your hands with soap each time you go to the bathroom for any reason and when cooking, even before and after eating. Flossing is not as important as the dentist says, because it can injure the gums, your gums have to be only pink, if they are dark red, this suggests you have a minor infection . I have an organ transplant, and when it was time to have an tooth implant, the specialists who drilled in the jaw bone, had the room sterilized , by a specialized team and everything was covered in white clean sheets because I am immunosuppressed and is a germ goes into the bone I can be in serious trouble. It took me 6 months to grow the bone to fill the hole that was left when the original tooth was taken out. Good luck.

What is that??

depends. if lower molars get boneloss

That's what I am doing.

Initially you will feel unnatural, but as time paas ,,,, it's going to be normal...

Facts😂😂😂

how u doin now? pain?

I am in the same boat and you better get to the dentist but a good one that will maybe save them

You can still get implants, you just may need a bone graft, make sure to do your research

??

I thought bone lost is supposed to stop when the implant is implanted

@@ScreamTatumRiley In my case bone loss caused my implant to fall out about two weeks ago. I guess having it for 10 years is reasonable value for the original cost.

You will get your own answer one day.... when you get peri implantitis

I'll try to make a video on my opinion on this... There are probably a lot of things that the general public may not be aware of

@@drgurssehmi thank you. I’m looking forward to watching the video.

@@Quannie26 yes this would be great!!

@@drgurssehmi Doctor did you make one??

Yes cuz I have an appointment today for a cleaning and I want to know my treatment options and I might need an implant or bridges but I want an implant but now hell I’m scared 😂

I can't answer this, I tell people decades, as most last this long, but this answer is very vague and depends on a large number of factors

@@drgurssehmi Hello Dr. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I just had tooth implant crown yesterday and now I noticed a gap between my normal tooth and implant crown which is something I didn’t think about before. How to minimize the gap between the implants crown and tooth before and after. Is this gap normal? Apart from keeping gap clean what should I keep on mind.

Different style of implants sit either in the bone, on the bone or on the gum. All used in different situations

Depending on the implant, it can take from 4 weeks, to 3-4 months for the implant to integrate (I often call this healing, but that's not technically correct). It can take longer if things like bone grafts or sinus work is carried out at the same time. The gums take a few weeks or sometimes days to heal

your entire life bud, if you take care of then that is. gotta also watch out for things like bone loss.

@@angelvazquez3323 Implant cause bone loss?

@@emani2704 no, bacteria cause bone loss. if you don’t take care of your implant by brushing/flossing (general dental hygiene) said bacteria can eat away existing bone (the stuff supporting the implant) and ultimately lead the implant to fail.
