Wishing you a speedy recovery and a set of beautiful, functional teeth! :)

Thanks so much!!! Day 2- so far so good! Appreciate you sharing all your knowledge with us!! You’re doing the Lord’s work. 🤣

Why have major anaesthetics thats so unnecessary. Local injections into gums are effective

@@alexandrahone6345 this procedure is quite a bit more involved. They literally shave your bone down. I’m very happy I was put under general anesthesia for 5 1/2 hours. I would research f you’d like to know more.

Doing the right thing! Love it

Glad you liked it! By the way, we do virtual consultations with patients who live far away from us.

Agreed 100%

@@northtexasdentalsurgery Thanks doctors, you are awesome 👏

Thank you so much for your support!

Wow! Sorry for that outcome. I wish you the best in the future. This doctor sounds like a menace.

What center was it done in ?

​@@jenstube555 It's g4 by Golpa.

Was it 3 on 6 you had done?

You now have information to talk to your PCP and cardiologist, as well as the prosthetist and surgeon. I had mine done in February and was the best decision I’ve ever made for my dental care. More to the point, if you truly pray; pray about this for yourself. I prayed before, and the morning before they put me under, and as I was going under I was singing hymns - because God is the most important consultant.

It will probably work out fine

How are you doing today?

Agreed, but sometimes unexpected things can happen during or after dental procedures.

@@northtexasdentalsurgery Absolutely. However, lack of due diligence on everyone’s part, lack of contingency plans, etc is on all involved. My Maxillofacial is connected with a local hospital, the anesthesiologist came from there. I had to have another adult drive me and take me home. I was monitored for fifteen or more minutes afterwards to check for any reactions. They had a plan in place to execute at the first sign of trouble; as I get the feeling you at NTDS most likely have. Bad things can happen for the simplest medical or dental procedure. Someone has to step up and make plans for when this happens; not say I’m sorry after the fact.

Greed has overcome the dental industry. Arrogance clouds their vision. I've had a similar experience . 😊

Agreed bad things happen. But where was the anesthesiologist in this saying he couldn’t control the sedation. Post op problems with these medications can cause problems.

She was African American and he didn’t give a fVck..Her money was more important than her pre~surgical testing.

More videos featuring Dr. Han coming soon. Stay tuned!

Getting dentures would've also required removal of all remaining teeth and reshaping of the bone. Would not have been any different in terms of "invasiveness." The lady woulda been best served in the hospital setting.

This was a vibrant overall mobile82 YO woman getting ready to go on a trip who wanted better for her life. A lot of folks are living to be in their lat3e 90s. She wanted a easier and healthy life. She is entitle to the same benefits of other folks.. My mother lived to be 97 and got dental work done to help with her eating. You are never too old to want better.

You blame her for wanting to improve her quality of life. There may be many reasons why she waited so late in life to get new teeth. Perhaps, she finally saved the money to pay for the new teeth. There might be other reasons why she waited, whatever her reason for waiting, she most certainly was asked by the Dentist. Why not ask him, since she is no longer with us anymore. Don’t you think that a Doctor of Dental Medicine would have the Schooling and Training to select Patients that meet minimum Dental/Medical Standards. Even Ray Charles would have been able to see that the woman was not a suitable candidate for this Dental treatment and surgery. There is the smell of money that takes over the brain of many Dentist and clouds their thinking. Pressure from the business owner for the dentist to do high dollar procedures. The bottom line is that the dentist takes an oath to do no harm. The Patient looks to the dentist to make good and honest decisions and to offer them without any bias. In my valued opinion, I question whether the dentist in question did that.

We may create a video on this topic. Stay tuned!

Hope it went ok

@@mrsNetty34 Thank you ! It really did . 7 years later and everything is still perfect. Ok my situation was slightly different as I was missing just 3 teeth at the back on top and just 4 at the back on the bottom, so not all on 4, still have most of my teeth, but I do think that implants all on 4 are a great solution as my wife who lost her bottom teeth in an accident has All on 4 on the bottom for more than 2 years now and absolutely no problems. Better than dentures for sure. She says they feel like her real teeth. It's a good life investment.😊

Wishing you a successful outcome! Patients struggle getting used to bottom dentures in general, but you may do fine.

Hope it went well

Everyone always has a choice….

Go to a Board Certified Prosthodontist ASAP!

North Texas Dental Surgery has a prosthodontist there- Dr. Ioanna Koukousaki Board certification is a requirement if you want to be a full-time academic prosthodontist. However, a board-certified prosthodontist is not necessarily more skilled than a prosthodontist that is not board certified. In fact, most prosthodontists elect to not go for board certification after their “benefit-cost analysis.”

I am here in Florida, I wish I would have been able to afford the trip to Texas. Unfortunately I could not . I’m nervous about what will happen at my next appointment . Is it common to have to wear dentures while implants are healing ? Thank you for all of the reply’s . I was hoping to hear some have gone through same experience and ended up happy at the end .

@@sk135ker Not to toot our own horn but Dr. Koukousaki is amazing at what she does. She is our fabulous smile maker :)

Hi Michelle. I'm so sorry you are going through this. I had top teeth done and when I woke up, I had my top temporary denture in. It helped keep the swelling down. I wore them most of the time. I took 2 weeks off and one week three I worked a light schedule 3 days. That was last June 26. On January 15 this year I had 6 implants placed. I go back June 24 to see if I am ready to start the restoration process. it's been a long process but I'm hoping that giving my body healing time will help be worth it in the end. Good luck to you!

Glad your experience has been positive, but that’s not the reality for most denture wearers.

@@sk135ker it would be if people were informed correctly how to make them work. I was told by my denturist that I would need to use denture glue to hold my dentures in place. I followed these instructions for five miserable months until I decided not to use the glue. It took roughly a month to realize I couldn't tell the difference between my real teeth or my dentures because I allowed myself to work with them naturally. Best decision ever.
