How many implants are needed to replace a full set of teeth? 

Shout your dumb az up

Me too biggest regret of my life. Didn't seen need one filling until age 26. And went to a rogue dentist that said I needed 4 crowns despite never having had toothache he drilled them down to spikey points and then when I was literally 15 minutes late for an appointment despite ringing and telling them he said he wouldn't fit my crowns unless I paid him. Despite it supposedly been free on the nhs . usually he would ALWAYS be late whenever I attended appointments. One time I had to wait 3 hours despite having an appointment because his "golf game" took longer than he expected. I was then left with my teeth left like that and , £3500 worth of crowns that the nhs paid for that only fit me that he was paid for and he wouldn't fit them or give them to me for another dentist to fit. He also told my dad that he needed 3 fillings he said he'd come back another day saying he couldn't afford it. 17 years later my dads never had those fillings and his teeth are in perfect condition. He was doing work that the nhs was paying for that didn't need doing. Thank goodness he's left the country and can no longer practice dentistry in the uk.

@@vickythefist7062 What a rambling discourse. Are you not able to present your case logically and succintly, or is English not your home language??

@@royallen1711 it’s more alarming that you’re concerned about his grammar more than his health

Yes, many financial program to help people with dental problem, it not difficult to get it. Jut make appointment with dental clinic, they give you form to fill and get loan you need. You pay little amount per months. It no difficult. Many dentist make free consultation. Act in your behalf, money show up for you to pay. More you take care of yourself, more your self care for you. Just do it.

I understood it perfectly and hang in there bro

Me too, I was completely leaning towards individual implants until he explained all of this.

I know how that feels it’s rough but dental work gets so expensive though😔

Stay positive... If you really want it, Spirit will find a way 🤞🏾😇

Try coming to India. You might be able to afford it here.

Almost 22 years ago and running for me.

Turkey has the best price

😔😔😔 Sometimes it’s just too late. My parents lost their teeth when they were really young and yet they never helped me with dental hygiene when I was younger. Very tragic. And today I suffer so much and spend so much money to salvage the situation. They wear dentures for years. I am finding out more on dental implants.

i have just had full top and bottom implants done in turkey and would 150 percent having it done and i am 60 and it has changed my life 100 percent beyaz isik marmaris

@@alanhutchings6713 mind sharing Turkey details? Thanks!

@@alanhutchings6713 How long did the whole process take? Did it involve multiple visits? Did you get "on four" which seems to be a recent thing (previously " on eight" or "on six\") ? Do they look reasonably natural? Thank you

@@B_Ruphe i had all on six and am 100 percent happy with the results and yes they do look real time frame was 3 hours to put the anchors in my jaw then i went back after a 3 month healing for the next steps i was in marmaris for 3 weeks and actually got my final teeth 4 days before i returned home there are so many steps in the process and nothing was to much trouble for them i could walk in between 9.30 am to 10 pm if i had any questions or felt a little bit of a tooth that felt rough to my tongue

how much did that cost you?

@@hereweare9011 Thousands.

@@IMTHEBIGGESTCUNT some one is asking to know the actual price and you're saying a thousand are you for real?

How’s your implants now?

I'm working a 2nd job where all of what I earn goes into a savings account specifically to get this procedure done. I imaging its going to take about 1.5 to 2 yrs to earn enough for the procedure.

Not everyone has dental issues due to lack of hygiene when they were younger. Some actually have a medial reason like me and I'm not old. Also, many medications people take can cause dental issues.

@@brandimccormick4439 Many clinic has plan in order to help do it. Just go do estimate and get loan. It little amount you pay per months.

Amen!!

Have a friend she was born without enamel the protection for teeth she brushed flossed went the dentist an was in pain alot until she had to have them all pulled at 30yrs old.She has dentures now.I lost teeth because my dog accidentally head butted me an knocked out my teeth.Teeth should not be a luxury it saves your jaw bone having this done over dentures.Its more natural its litterly a prosthetic.So a person can eat not feel pretty eat.When foods not chewed well it doesn't absorb the nutrients into the body it more than cosmetic.They treat a dentist like a high paid hair dresser no joke.But there doctors an not being affordable cost lives not everyone is eligible for grant or assistance or has the credit too afford it there too rich for help an too poor to pay for it.Most people live pay check.Dental insurance is crazy some places don't offer any insurance policy.When they do its the bare basic clean an check an that's all you get.If it offers anything above that your lucky.Thats the same insurance that you'd put your kid on.Wow cleanings they best not ever get a chiped tooth any cavitys.They happen all the time popcorn cornal broken tooth rough housing with there friends there goes a tooth.

Hi Darren. The best thing is to talk to a few dentists who do this treatment quite often. I would ask to see a few cases they have done, look at the temporary teeth and the final ones to see the final aesthetic result. I always think it's worth going with someone fairly local for this, in case there is an issue during treatment- like temporarily teeth chipping off.

Dr Gurs Sehmi thanks for your helpful response I will consider my next steps carefully.

Hi I am 50 years old is it safe to have implants at my age

@@shornforeman3807 I'm one year into my dental implants at 68 years old and things are going fine

Can you always see the line? I was under the impression that you usually don't see it. At 7.07 minutes in the video, he refers to someone who has a lot of infected tissue that needs removing, and notes that you'd otherwise see the artificial gum line in that case. But that's surely not the case for everyone? Have you had implants yourself?

@@Ladynipchick2 I have the front teeth, individual implants, They look natural around the gum line.

Hey Jordan I have the same questions. Have you made any decisions yet as to what you are going to do? I was wanting four on one but i question about the bone loss with only four implants for whole arch. I just saw that the 3 on 6 seems good but need further research. I guess the more implants the better it is to avoid bone loss. Also, you can also do bone grafting if you don’t have enough bone for implants. Like use the extracted teeth or synthetic material or even animal bone.

Hi Candy, am sure having more implants will prevent more bone loss than with fewer implants. That said, have you proceeded to do any implant yet and could you share if you did? I am starting to explore my options for a full mouth rehab.

Professional that tell a full set of implants are better, is lying, every tooth need support from bone, bridge and full set of implant, make you lose bone, and weak the bone that support others teeth.

This is not always the case, in both situations the surgeon needs to assess the available bone, then find the most appropriate implant positions and angles

Hi Nicole, what sort of fixed dentures? Was it the four on one but you requested more implants? Is it titanium or zirconia or? I am on this journey for a whole mouth rehab 😔. Thanks.

I’d like to know too

Personally I prefer a more natural look, but in my clinic, the patient is the boss :)

It's quite common to have implants placed when having the bad teeth removed. If you choose to wait anyway, then I would normally say 3-4 months, depending on the size of the roots of your remaining teeth

Good question, and I have a video on cleaning around implants in the pipeline! The whole thing needs to be designed from the outset, with ease of cleaning in mind. The bridge is flossable with things like super-floss (Oral-B) or tepe brushes. Sometimes I recommend patients use a waterpick on the lowest setting as well, but this isn't as good as flossing under the bridge.

@@drgurssehmi I will look for that video. I can see flossing between the implants would be relatively the same. I was wondering about between your own gums and the base of the artificial gum material of the implant. Thank you.

@@drgurssehmi what's the title of that video?

Lots of people think this

@@drgurssehmi thanks for your information because you really help me decide how I want my dental implants 🤔

Not possible unless the implants are put in right after removing your tooth, I've had 11 implants done

I'm most cases where we do a full set of teeth, we normally try to avoid any grafting (by angling the position of the implants and avoiding sinuses and nerves). If we do need to graft, there are lots of materials that are used, cadaver being one of them.

Fantastic! Good luck with it all!

Can you please share the nonprofit dental clinic? I need help, maybe Houston has one. Thanks!

We are based in the UK, SL7. Details are in the description

That sounds like a horror story! I can understand why you're scared now!

Dr Gurs Sehmi I emailed your clinic but no one got back to me. I’m Irish but in Australia at the moment but will be home for abit In the new year so I could fly over to you .. would you be able to look at my month and give me your expertise please .

I am praying for you... I am similar

Do this procedure of implant with mouth surgeon, they are specialized in doing surgery much safe, regular dentist only know pull of tooth.

It's different in every country, so it's best to check locally

Sounds a bit weird to me.. normally there is no reason not to put the implants in place immediately after extracting the no longer viable teeth.. off course after placing implants there has to be a 3 to 6 month healing period for.the implants to heal.. maybe you've had a serious gum probl ?

So many dentists are more comfortable doing it like this. The final upper should be very stable and require a lot of effort to remove. With the lower, as there are only 2 implants, it will be very stable, but there may be some rocking. Often is better to have 4. You may be able to add more at a later date if needed

Did you find out?

It is, bone grafts are used to fix bone jaw. Expensive though, $135 000 so far on 11 implants

Have u found ur answer???

Me too...I feel the same as you...

Wat

claire romeus what happened to your teeth?

I’m getting my molars replaces at the moment it hurts so bad. They put the screws in my mouth

@@AnelleLorenzano how are the implants doing? Please update I’m desperate

Order Christopher’s herbal teeth and gum powered off Amazon. Hopefully that helps your teeth

Hi Kay, a lot depends on your individual plan, in some cases it's possible to remove the bad teeth, place implants and connect them to clip in denture on the same day. This is called immediate loading. You could just have the implants placed on the day of taking the teeth out, this is called immediate placement- and not connect them to the denture. If you just have the teeth out, you should wait 2-3 months before placing implants, and if you are not loading straight away, wait 4 months in the upper jaw to load them. I hope this makes sense!

Dr Gurs Sehmi Thank you. My dentist didn’t want to do implants straight away as wanted gums to heal first for 6 months. I’m trying to get different opinions as I cannot cope with my ridiculous loose lower immediate denture which won’t even stay in with glue and cannot put up with this for 6months. Upper is fine. My job entails face to face consultations and teaching and dancing on stage. I am 63.

I recently started to do locator treatment for patients, and connect the implants to the denture on the same day. There is a risk that the implants don't integrate, but it's been successful in all the cases I've done so far, and usually the risk of replacing an implant is not to bad compared to having to cope with the loose denture! (Also, I don't charge anything if we need to replace an implant). Your dentist is being cautious, which means he or she has your well-being as a priority, there are just several ways to approach the problem.

Dr Gurs Sehmi I have just been researching more regarding full extractions and implant retained dentures and came across the subject of Alveoloplasty! Does everyone have to have this prior to implants as this has not been mentioned to me at all. Really do not want more surgery!!! Other than the implants obviously.

@@kaymoyse4890 My Doctor recommended gum healing too before implants.

You should see a dentist personally for individual advice

@@drgurssehmi sir they told me, veneers will be great. But lter i got to know that for veneers they have to trim a little tooth, will that gonn weaken my teeth . Help please.

You're welcome! :)

That's interesting. People seem to think that individuals are superior, but your experience tells me the reverse. It's hard though, because of I go ahead with the all on 4/6 method, I have to live with a line between bridge and my real gum - although I believe it's not that visible?

I had 23 beautiful porcelain crowns put on my teeth when I was 29 (by choice, cosmetic - costed me $13,000). Now at age 49 I come to find out my own saliva is killing my teeth under the crowns. Within the past 24 months, I've had several teeth shatter under the crowns. I'm so upset, I cried in the dentist chair when they explained this all to me. I've had 7 teeth extracted so far. I can't smile or speak without wearing a plastic thing in my mouth with fake teeth now so people don't notice. It's devastating! To replace is so expensive - $50,000. I have fear too, it sucks! God bless you xoxo

Wow.. I so understand you!.. I am in my 30's and Eastern European ethnicity...lived in the States now for years.... my teeth no matter what I do just break apart... I had a periodontist a few months ago tell me it was an actually DNA defect gene that makes our teeth (us younger in life still women not properly develop enamel)... i also have Hashimoto's disease since very young and that plays a big part of it too... :/ .... maybe some of us young women in life still we should put a letter together asking for the help for costs from these God awful self fulfilled narcissistic American celebrities!... They love talking about all their charities blah blah...ya...the average person whom needs costly help their "charities" never seem to help.... we should have it on the news a group of young still people asking for actual help for outrageous costs... maybe someone would actually step up to help .. I don't know....that is my latest idea for how to fund this outrageous procedure I desperately need too... sorry for the rant lol! . .you aren't alone though in this:)

I have heard Mexico is about 1/3 the cost

In Vietnam, it costs 600 USD for 1 dental implant
