I confirm that what the doc said (from the point of view of a patient) is what you gonna expect, maybe a little more I would say, depending of your situation before the implants. I agree on the point: never think to do this just for minor cosmetic reasons if your teeth are healthy, you gonna end with a perfect Hollywood smile, they feels different (you gonna get sued of it pretty quickly so it's not a major problem), but there's also the psychological aspect behind it, you literally removed a part of your body and you will start questioning if it has been worth it, this can cause depression and there's no point of return. When you shouldn't think twice and do it? When your teeth are affecting your quality of life and there's no solution to fix them otherwise. If you're accepting compromises of not eating certain foods, if you're worried to smile, if you feel everyday pain, you may get used of it, but this is going to lower your life enjoyment beyond what you even realize, and you'll figure it out only after the surgery, asking yourself why you didn't it before! You'll be literally a new person, with yourself and with social relations. The benefits goes beyond what you can imagine. For those who asks if you feel any pain: during the surgery it's zero (you even feel relaxed and excited because of the expectations), you could have some pain after, but it really depends by the person and the situation, it's nothing to worry about, especially if you come from a situation where you had some teeth pain almost every day. It normally goes out after two weeks anyway and with few painkiller you'll feel nothing. How those they feels? You gonna lose the "individual" tooth feel, it means if you try to bite something with a single tooth, you can still feel where it's happening but most of the pressure is distributed across the whole arch. Initially it's strange, but you gonna get used of it pretty fast and you'll forget it. For this reason, eating food during the first weeks seems different, but again it'll be natural again pretty fast. How do they look to others? It depends of which kind of implant you'll end with (type and material), but with modern implants none rather than you and you'll dentist will know about it, they looks perfectly natural and (most of the times) better than real teeth, you shouldn't be worried about anything, even when including gum, don't overthinking about it, it's not an issue (especially if had bad teeth before!). If you "need" it and you're waiting because you're worried (well.. if we don't consider that is pretty expensive), don't be worried, the cons are minimal, the pros will exceed those by a factor of ten. I hope my experience will help some of you.

I appreciate all your videos Dr. I spent many months researching. I was at the point where I only had 8 teeth remaining on the upper. and one of the fronts was a root canal and it broke in half. So it was very embarassing. Plus the other remaining teeth all had cavities and were beyond saving. I was in constant pain. All of your insight is spot on. I don't recommend people to run and get this if you have healthy teeth. Like the Dr has said, these will NEVER feel like your natural teeth. I am 110% satisfied already (only been a few days post op). But if I could go back in time and brush 6 times a day I would. I spent 9 hours in the dentist chair. My back was killing me. But in the end. Its worth it.

Very clear and detailed information, thank you so much, doctor. When you have time, can you please show us an all on 4 or 6 upper arch implants without fake gum, and explain how it is fixed into the jaw?

Been watching all your videos, for some time now. Just wanted to say 'thanks'. Your advice has been invaluable to help me finally get me implants 👍

Oh my God I love your Explanations I'm going through my own journey and there are so many quirks that I'm feeling that your videos explain and this is a long journey. Thank you thank you for your honesty and a better way to put it instead of lowering standards is manage expectations. That's what I'm learning through this process but thank you.

Mad respect, I’m looking into pinhole surgery or do some 1-2mm movement in a couple spots. Your wording and way of explaining is very comforting to patients looking for treatment. We’ll done!

Love your honesty

I am considering implant surgery and I am so glad that I listen to this because I would’ve gone with all those cosmetic dentist to tell you can do it in one day that is so not true after hearing this if you have any sense at all you’ll follow his direction

Great info Doc

Hi, a really detailed video, thank you. If you had snap in teeth, could you then have more teeth placed on the prosthetic?

Well explained. People think they can swarm in and come out with a gleaming set of teeth. Yes that will eventually happen but patience is a must. The more patient you are, the better the final result.

Great eplanations. With all that can go wrong, it makes me a little more anxious about ever having it done for the $$ involved. My own bite is off because of the bad dentistry I've had by multiple different docs over the course of years. I don't know whether new teeth should be made according to the height of how my teeth are now or how they should be to have a more natural bite Also.... what do you think??? I am very allergic to metals. Have you ever had a patient reject the implant because of that??

I had my all on 4 last Tuesday. I had 15 teeth removed. I never anticipated the pain l would be in. I have taken so many pain meds around the clock, still do. Not one pain med including a very strong one takes the pain away. I iced and iced and iced. I am very happy with my temps, not too bulky. Just so painful.

😱😱😱 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Thank you so much for your video! I am sitting here at day 8 realizing AND freaking out that my temporary upper, denture (front teeth) is about a CM off to one side as well as thick and the lower one is dipping slightly to one side with the teeth! I’m so happy to hear this is normal. I was thinking “oh no, do I have a novice technician doing my teeth?” To have you explain all these things is so beneficial to me!! Are top and bottom molars to line up like with real teeth? My temporary teeth on top are NOT lining up with bottom molars. My bottom ones are too short and hitting middle of upper molars on both sides. I am curious what is correct? I go back in two days.

I have my denture try on on my snap on denture and my face sank in!! What do you think is the issue!! I want it to look natural and at lease!! What can you advise mento tell my denturist or should i get involve my dentist? Please hrlp as i am getting close to my final teeth and i dont want to sign off for something i am not happy. Thank you

I know he doesn't ever reply to comments but I'd love to know his views on EvoSultion. I'm looking at having a full set done but I cannot decide!

Can you tell me the feasibility of a 3 bridge implant crown over 31 & 29 as well as 18 & 20 with a partial denture spanning the rest against an existing upper denture to increase bite force as well as general comfort with the mandible?

I know it's not in your expertise but if you could put up some videos on like guiding new foreign dentists for example like me from india on how to apply and properly get into the UK as a licensed dentist. It would be really helpful. Thanks

Hi very informative, I have been lucky with my dental surgeon as the cost of implants is one major issue, I pay for 1 implant plus ubutmentvand zirconia crown £1300 which I find is good value.

I have a very close bite. Would I still be able to have front implants?

I wish i could have a consultation with u ..my canine was extracted by a dentist😭

Would you be able to post videos regarding the maintenance of these implants? Like what the chances that some food goes under them and bacteria grows there. Or how long do they last? For worst case/best case and average? What are the long term side effects? If anything happen to them and you have, is it possible to have a new set of implants let's say after 20 years or so?!

Question next week I will be having 3 upper molars removed and at some point after that will be looking to get a bridged implant to replace them, the likelihood is the other side will need doing in the future also. If I have a bridge done to replace 3 molars could the implants be used as part of the all on 4? Or will I have to have them removed and replaced? If I was using yourself for both treatments if I decided in the future to just get the lot replaced

When you say it is different experience and feeling with prostethic teeths, it means even as function is different? I understand the feeling is not as natural teeth, but how about mastication? When we eat, how they hold? Can you bite an apple without stressing them for example? Or even eating would be different?

Zercornia implant can be keep our life time?

I'm looking at going to dentakay in turkey because I cannot afford all on 4 here in the USA. Is this a bad Idea? I'm kind of desperate at this point to get a permanent fix.

Have you ever removed all on 6 dental implants because a patient just isn't happy with them? If so, what am I looking for in a particular dentist if you could please.

its FULL anesthesia, right!

I’m going to Bulgaria , first class dental and better than turkey so I’m told

Thank you for your explanations regardless implants. I’m sure that you are aware of how terrifying it is to truly just any dentists. In Los Angeles, California, dental offices will call and call and call like used car salesmen So I remain after Have had all of my upper teeth removed by a dental study at USC School of dentistry I refused having all of my teeth removed on the same day and shoving temporary dentures onto my bleeding mouth. So here I sit with no upper teeth and terrified of choosing just any dentist. I am an actress who is obviously not working at all right now because of my explanation above. So I am wondering if you might be able to recommend a dentist like you here ? I really hope so as I’m going broke rapidly.

Sorry everyone, I'm only interested in how much this whole procedure is going to cost me as I'm only on an aged pension and things can get pretty tight when every penny counts.

41,000 for full top and 2 implants on the bottom

4 implants? $20,000 not covered by insurance. Who has that kind of money?

Awesome Dr, no artificial teeth can be natural teeth

What if you have type 1 diabetes when you can't eat.

So I found this, kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7yChb2Y0rW9Y2w.html, which you might comment on?

i got a good idea, use me as a guinea pig for your you tube channel with all on 4s. you get more veiws and i get new teeth, simples.

Thank you for this information. Number 7 when they cut away bone expect pain for at least 4 week. It hurts like I have never felt pain. OMG. Day 3 to day 14 is excruciating. That would have been very helpful, then I could have prepared myself. I didn't know what I was supposed to be feeling so lots of panic about something went wrong! I am on day 28 and no pain pills as of day 27. See my point.
