What are dental implants? Can I get my tooth the same day as my dental implant? How do you take care of them? Should I replace all my teeth with dental implants?
After installing the crown. On my first implant, my dentist told me to use a water pick every day if I wanted to keep my implant. The gums don"t adhere to the implant like to teeth, so you'll always have pockets that will need flushing out. Flossing alone will not suffice.
I would advise anyone considering an implant to ask a million questions first, watch all the you tube videos you can on this, and read some reliable websites on this. Be very careful. I tend to jump into things too quickly and ask questions later, and this can be costly.
And you are qualified to advise how??? Who are you rooting for tell,people what YOU THINK.. and how exactly would you inow what is a reliable dentist. Im sure we all wanna know. My advice to you is not to speculate . You are not qualified
My experience was pure hell of excruciating pain. Spent $6,000 and still don't have dental implant. Pulled the failed root canal. Packed with cadaver bone. Dentist couldn't get the angle right and kept taking the screw out and in, stripping the bone. Screw fell When the novacaine wore off at midnight the train of pain slammed into me, ran over me, and then backed up and continued to run over me for 3 solid weeks of crying with pain. I begged for pain meds. They make me nauseous. 3 weeks of antibiotics and pain meds I smelled like sulfur. I got a partial refund and bought a prothesis, which I don't wear because I can't chew with it. Now the other root canal failed and the redo too because infection won't clear. So off to an oral surgeon to just pull the damned thing and considering two bridges on both sides. So first root canal $1100, second on other molar $900, failed dental implant, $6,000. Prothesis $1,200, 2nd failed root canal $1,400 Now I'm advised best to have oral surgeon pull the molar and then two bridges. How much out of pocket? The funny thing> & chew just fine with missing molar. I have both wisdom teeth.
Ive learned so much through research after having a failed root canal so ill give you my two cents. A bridge is a terrible idea because you have to shave down the surrounding teeth. Root canals are just dead teeth in our mouth that could adversely affect our health. You should only be allowing an oral surgeon to place an implant in your mouth. Also, there are specialists called prosthodontists who create the perfect crown for you. Too many dentists are doing work thats out of their league. Lastly, you can always just keep the missing tooth as is, especially if its in the back of your mouth. Bone loss can occur but if you want an implant years later, a bone graft can be performed. Vitd3,k2,and mg help with bone growth. Xylitol gum, oil pulling and alkaline mouth wash are tools that can keep cavities at bay.
If u have good wisdom teeth orthodontic treatment can close the space of the missing first molars it's called " molar protraction " see an orthodontist and ask If it's possible in ur case
You have got a great sense of humor and I’m kind of experiencing the same thing right now and getting scared because I’m only a month into the healing and I’m in so much pain
Great video dr. wattimena! I love the animation at the first part! ❤ I also love how you explained about dental implats, very informative and helpful jus like kriss ai ❤ You just gained a new subscriber, I will be watching more of your videos!!
this was such a fun dental video, Doc! Videos like this and using AI chat are very helpful in learning more about dentistry. Im in dental school btw :D
True! this one is really educational, btw i hope this helps, but I discovered a dental chatbot, it's called KRISS AI, i hope that helps you go through Dental school :)
@@soposhhh1122 Agree! The animation clip at the beginning was so cute and fun to watch 😙 Btw, I was actually looking for an app that I can use. Will definitely check that kriss one. Thanks 🫶
Good explanation. Im spending so much on consultations at various places. Almost all Dentists and Periodontists treat people like customers not patients. It's all about $$$ for them now and somewhat false advertising to draw you into their clinic with $1000 implants. They never include abutment or crown fees. Then you got extraction and flipper (temporary denture). Also extra lab fees and extra unexpected dental fees. I have been roaming around a month looking for best option with a 2 gapper I just don't smile so much. In addition I could wear a mask to avoid having to pay a flipper fee. If I do get a flipper probably gonna play with it using my tongue and be upset I got it if I do choose.
There is a strong link between titanium dental implants (allergy or metal toxicity) and autoimmune disease/neuroendocrine start. Metal toxins are closely associated with the neuroendocrine system, or itching or urticaria. There are so many high-ranking academic articles on this topic (please search "Allergic contact dermatitis caused by titanium screws and dental implants"; "Metal allergy patient treated by titanium implant denture: A case report with at least 4-year follow-up".
@@inkbold8511 thanks for your reply. Please check "IMMUNOTOXICOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF BIOCOMPATIBILITY OF TITANIUM", "Titanium implants and silent inflammation in jawbone-a critical interplay of dissolved titanium particles and cytokines TNF-α and RANTES/CCL5 on overall health?", "Titanium levels in the organs and blood of rats with a titanium implant, in the absence of wear, as determined by double-focusing ICP-MS", "Hypersensitivity Reactions to Titanium: Diagnosis and Management", "Hypersensitivity to titanium: Clinical and laboratory evidence", "Metals, autoimmunity, and neuroendocrinology: Is there a connection?", "Autoimmunity in connection with a metal implant: a case of autoimmune/autoinflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants". "Titanium: A New Allergen". "Titanium Sensitivity" "Titanium deposition in regional lymph nodes after insertion of titanium screw implants in maxillofacial region" " Cytokine response of human macrophage-like cells after contact with polyethylene and pure titanium particles". All of them say titanium sensitivity is not a typical allergy/toxicity, due to the titanium and its alloys lymphatic, neuroendocrine or immune systems may be negatively effected. Accumulation of titanium alloys may be harmful for autoimmune patients. I wish I knew that point before!
But by the time everything said and done a crown will cost you $3000 or more if you include the root canal in that equation. What I don’t understand is they literally Grainger to downtown with nothing so what’s the point of keeping the tears and not having the implant at the end of the day? I just had two crowns done the other day and they took so much for the tooth out that it was literally scary there was nothing left.
I need about 20 implants. Smashed a bunch of teeth when I was a 11, had 8 root canals. Last for 30 years but all failed at nearly the same time. Now I'm screwed.
Brother this happens you will get throgh this i believe in you. Get the procedures done once you will complete this you will again be super happy. Wishes🎉
with an experienced team and a skilled oral surgeon (with certified credentials) it should be fine to get new teeth. dental implantology has come a long way and continues to improve. It is very costly, so comparing fees from facilities in other countries such as Thailand, Turkey, Mexico and/or others may work for you.
What about the health effects that NOONE talks about, my implant caused anxiety, headaches, auto immune, cancer, sinisitus and breast cancer, and EMF sensitivity absolutely criminal !!!!
I had root canal treatment back in 2022. I went into severe depression after that becoz i didnt need rct all i need was feeling but because the doc she wanted money she suggested me rct. And this feeling of loss made me really stressed out. See whenever foreign item goes inside the body it usually creates repulsion or it wants to throw it out. But as time passes body accepts it and it becomes a part of our body. Dont worry nothing is happening becoz of implant and after 1 or 2 year you will thank yourself for getting it done and laugh. 🎉
You said if you were going to have implants that you want the best put in your mouth. What brand would you choose for All-On-X? X being 4,6. Thank you, Alan
Right now I am in the process of getting dentures. My teeth are being pulled at low income dental clinic. So dentures even online. Ones that you can eat in are between $370-$400. Right now I just didn't have that much money. So I started looking on RU-vid. There was lady that didn't have money for denture. So she took one of those. Instant Smile Comfort Flex veneers. Ordered extra fitting beads. Turned into denture. So I went on Amazon and ordered. Top and bottom set. For $40 the only thing is you can't eat with it in. I haven't made my denture yet because they are still pulling my teeth. The only thing because you are 74. Google and see of there is any charities that do free dentures for seniors. So you can eat good.
Good video, thanks! Regarding bone suitability for implanting, is there a success rate or feasibility difference between a jaw implant or an upper tooth implant? My #4 tooth needs either an implant or a bridge. Apparently, bone grafting is required and my reservations are length of time (extraction to crown), followed by ultimate strength of final healing. A bridge is an option,but concerning in the event of either of those teeth needing future attention. Comments, please?
I had a bridge...later lost a molar on the other side of my mouth due to failed root canal so I got a dental implant b/c everyone I knew who had them had no issues and my dentist pushed them..I had enough bone so no grafting was needed..I don't smoke, I'm not diabetic so I was a good candidate.......It went perfect, was textbook perfect according to my surgeon who is an excellent maxillofacial surgeon...it got infected...I was on antibiotics but got worse...was prescribed steroids...I was miserable......3 weeks later I had it removed b/c I was so miserable..I lost 3 weeks of my life --during that time all I did was lay around b/c I felt like I had the flu...fatigue, head pressure, similar to Dick Van Dyke's experience (his misery lasted 7 years),,,the day it was removed I felt 80% better by the time I walked to my car after the removal procedure...the head pressure I'd been feeling was gone....gradually my flu like symptoms and fatigue went away and I felt good again...... It took me 5 years to decide if I was going to try the implant again or get a bridge...I got a bridge and I'm so glad I did..I'd have to be desperate to get an implant after my experience..I spoke with the surgeon about the situation and he was very nice, refunded all of my money including what insurance paid him, which I did not expect b/c he performed a service and it was my choice to have it removed...he told me if I later had another implant the outcome might be better, but I couldn't bring myself to do it...hope this helps you come to a decision. I think what made me so sick was one of 2 things...allergy to titanium or too much pressure in my lower jaw bone...If you're not familiar with Dick Van Dyke's story as a last resort, having consulted with doctor after doctor and a lot of medical testing, he had all of his implants removed and almost instantly he had relief..Hope this helps you.
Good info in a short video. Is it possible to get full mouth implants (6 or 4 implants on the upper jaw and 6 or 4 implants on the lower jaw) including tooth extraction and crown placement within a month considering a healthy 51 yr old candidate (bone density is good and no health complications)?
@@jigarfaria Im not a dentist but all on 4 or 6 is about 10k each upper and 10k for lower in mexico, if you do it in the state triple that price, i dont think u can do that all on the same day, too much work for 1 day.
Hello, my right side teeth next to wisdom teeth is pushed by growing wisdom teeth. It is now loose. It appears slightly bigger than the available space. I wonder if this teeth can be saved. Probably it requires reshaping or reducing width for fitting in the current space.
I had an implant put in over 2 months ago. Gun looks it has inflammation and my face still swollen. Yesterday the Dentist put the abutment in. Today the gun looks even more inflamed with yellow coloration around it. Is it normal??
@solsantana4740 how is the bite after one year. Is it normal like any other natural teeth. Do you feel the same strength in the implanted teeth. Plz reply
Im on this teeth implant journey i have temps in have all my teeth out but its been 2 weeks almost 3 and now i can put my tongue under near my bottom and it feels like it sucks into my cheek is that normal and i think i got bone graft a lil advice please what could be going wrong. Im doing exactly what im supposed to do
Dental implants should be the last phase of treatment, so any cavities or gum disease should be treated prior to dental implant placement. If any of your other teeth need other treatment then I would prioritize those first. After disease control has been completed then the implant can be placed without any issues.
Most times it's not a problem unless the patient is taking a bisphosphonate medication. Even then, the risk of osteonecrosis is quite low and implant placement can proceed without any complications
Hi there, I just had my roots removed for my missing tooth. How long do I need to wait before an Implant.. can the implant and the crown be done in a 2 week time period?
Im 25 local dr. Destroy my all teeht due to which i had a bone loss and my teet from right lateral to molar were surgically removed bcz i hv a severe bone loss as per dr. Now dr.

Implant is always possible all you need is bone grafting. Which place you live? Find a good doctor first and this is the hardest step once u meet a good doctor he will surely do something to get you new teeth and a beautiful smile. 🎉
Dr. Dentist, Please let me know your contact information (location address, email address, phone number, name), etc., so that I can get a consultation with you related to my situation, Thank you very much in advance.
