It good to know that,thanks

They can last a lifetime, and that's the goal! But this is not the case for everyone

@@drgurssehmi true. I know many older person's implants lasted just few years, less than 5 years..!! They got removed for various reasons like breaking, gum infection around implant etc. Now they are using dentures happily..!! Its always better to save RCT tooth with Care and regular checking.

May I ask where did you have them done

@@gohrt9139 In Sweden but I don't recall what the system is called. I do remember that they are made of Platinum.

Is there any gum recession around your implants @sergeikuranov7033

what is a dental technician?

@@krrete I make the teeth the Dr puts in people's mouths 😁

Hey I am looking for a good trustworthy dentist near Dallas Texas region. Can you suggest me one ?

Shouldn't you know this already??

@@karlabritfeld7104 being a dental technician has many facets crown and bridge, implants, removable dentures, all in X partials, and recently digital designing ect all of them are related but not one person masters all of them I am an all around technician but it's all always good to be remained of this things. And to answer your question yes I knew some of the stuff the Dr was talking about but there was little nuggets in between.

Hi did you have your implants done,how are your implanted teeth right now.

Almost 30 years that’s beautiful

Is drinking also harmful? And can we smoke like sometimes??

Doesn't sound like too much fun..🤣

Substance use isn’t everyone ideal fun.

Yea well when your working to barely stay alive, drinking and smoking are the only things keeping me going. Can't say I'm looking forward to working another 30yrs to be just getting by

How'd the implant process go? I'm 22 rn and looking at getting a tooth extracted and implants looking like the only options I've got!

​@@averywood6326did you did it ?

The plate is so close to the gum that you can't get underneath. Good luck.

Thanks for your honesty. Very few dentists are like you. Socrates said being honest to ones own self is the best service one can do society. Such people naturally honest to others and out side as wel.

A good dentist would take X-rays of the bone to make sure the implants won’t be rejected.

Thank you for your honesty, which is quite rare among dentists. Every dentist I've seen tries to sell me implants. And they all say they last forever & the success rate is over 95%. Lying for profit is disgusting.

This is my problem as well but can’t dwell on the past too much. Taking care of my teeth a lot better now though

Is it good for chewing

@@Jaihindurashtra1 Sure. I just wouldn't recommend chewing anything hard like a jawbreaker. 😀

@@thenuclearsandwich like meat or nut are they chewable

@@Jaihindurashtra1 I would use caution with nuts like almonds. Meats are fine unless you're trying to rip off a piece of something like beef jerky. LOL I may be a bit over cautious but I don't want to press my luck and regret it later. Basically, if you have any regular crowns already use the same care.

@brianmsahin how long have you got them ??

@@pany167 Hi, thanks for the question. I should be clear that I don't have a full implant bridge, just three implants replacing individual teeth. I have them more than 8 years now and are perfect. However, my brother who lost all his teeth, came to Istanbul from Ireland to get them done. 6 implants on the top and 6 on bottom with zirconia bridge. It was too expensive in Ireland, fifty thousand, so came here to a world class facility and got it done for fifteen thousand including 2 trips flights, hotels, airport collection, and they're perfect. He has them 5 years now. There's a big difference in cost and the equipment and techniques were better than the anything available in Ireland and with more expertise. They all speak English too so you know what's going on. They get a lot of EU and Americans coming too. Of course whether you do it at home or overseas it's very important to check the reputation of the clinic before deciding.

@@brianmsahin Thanks for replying.... May I ask do you have to floss that implant teeth daily ??

@@pany167 Yes, normal brushing and flossing. However, some people find flossing difficult and use a water pick instead which is equally good. I alternate between flossing and water pick. Looking after the gums is very important so keep them clean and the biggie, is don't smoke. You can lose an implant just as easily as a tooth if you're not careful. I saw a video of a woman who spent sixty thousand on implants but continued to smoke and lost all of them. Now , she can't even wear dentures. It's better to fix a problem as soon as possible as the more bone you have , the better the results. Appreciate the question !

How do u take care of ur dental implants do they use a Special floss?

@@twothirty5498 I brush, floss, and use a Proxabrush, daily. I am meticulous with my cleaning. I have invested a lot of money and time , so want to keep them. One of the most important factors when you decide to go ahead with implants, is to find the best periodontist you can find. I am fortunate to have a dentist who referred me to one of the top specialists where I live. They were not cheap, but you are investing in your health, and want them to last.

@Tayyab Shafiq I lost a lower molar years ago, and replaced the mising tooth with an implant. That was 30 years ago, and it's fine. I am sorry to hear that you need implant work at such a young ago. Your oral health is so important, so don't be afraid to have implant work done to replace missing teeth. Maks sure you have a reputable specialist check you, and that you can have implant work done. Also, the materials used for impants today are not rejected by the body. Implants, when done properly, are like having your natural teeth back again! I wish you the best of luck, and good health!

@Tayyab Shafiq I have the same crown for 30 years with no problem. As far as I know, my implant crown is porcelain. I have had no issues with it. As long as the crowns are well made, they should last years.

​ @karenpalladini5010 does implant cause any health problems in long run what was ur age when u got implant ?, im quite young and i may be getting 3 molars implants ( my other teeths are quite healthy including wisdom ones its just those 3 second molars who got rct and 2 of them is failing so)

lol check the difference between Spain and Germany.. Germany is like middle ages too and way to high costs. I heard about Thailand and many people go there get the teeth done without regrets.

Also Turkey is best place to get implant and high tech.

I agree. I used to live in Dubai and never had issues with the dentist. Every operation was perfect. I now live in the UK, had one filling which the dentist insisted should be a glass-ionomer, and the filling moved causing a “leak” which led to an infection. I returned to the dentist with a swollen gum and pus 1 week later, she said it was a “high bite” and shaved some of the filling. 2 weeks later the pain went, but a recurring abscess formed. I then returned after 5 months to find out that it was never a “high bite” but an infection due to a botched filling, and the pain only subsided because my nerve died! Useless! And to have found out that resin, which I wanted, has better adhesive properties and durability and this probably would never have happened! I went for a second opinion as I needed a root canal, and the botch dentist wanted to do it telling me I have a month until it needs to be extracted. Turns out, I have about sixth months before that stage, and I have been referred to a specialist because general dentists shouldn’t operate on branched infections if they don’t need to. Pathetic in this country, there are hardly any regulations keeping these botch jobs in check. A bad filling could end up with failed implants, it’s a terrible thing to have such little care for such an artistic practice!

My dentist wants to do a bone graft first, let that heal for 3-6 months, then put the abutment, let that heal, then put the permanent tooth on. And I prefer this slower process. He’s able to keep an eye on the healing process and fix anything that may go wrong. I’ll also get them checked and cleaned twice a year, as well as taking care of them as I should. It’ll be a process, but I’m excited.

@@heathermarie3672 I had an implant done the way you describe about 10 years ago. still holding up great. Took almost 1 year from start to finish. Also done by guys that are experts on bone healing, and implants.

Went to get implant consultation the other day he told 5-10 years

Yes, the longevity of implants can vary. Some of the factors involved include gum and bone health. I eat a very healthy diet and do take some supplements. The reason my implant ultimately failed was because I had two molars removed about two years before and it put pressure on the front tooth implant (i also grind my teeth). The titanium implant snapped. I had a new one put in as well as two molar implants and they are doing well.@@TeeTee-zm2re

Stress makes you losing teeth.some people lose their good teeth in months.

Thanks! Although your comment is bias 😂

Good question! I wonder that too because my orthodoncist give me appointments every 5 months and I suspect is just for the money. Why not once a year? It would be more reasonable. Too much deep cleaning could damage the teeth and gums even more. But they are supossed to know best.

implant + tooth ? In Paris, not the cheapest dentist: implant is 1000$ + crown 1200 $ = 2200$ and i got a 20% knock-off because i paid in cash .=1760$ ( skimming is highly appreciated if you dare to ask )

@@quinquiry i just had a root canal ,xrays and a cleaning .after insurance it was $2900 out of pocket 🤯

that last part made me laugh but the fact it could come true for some people is quite sad I could use a replacement tooth too but I just get a flipper for now because I don't wanna get a bridge unless implants are out of the question after looking into long term consequences of shaving down teeth so aggressively

I would get a screw in one if I would be you. They can take them off easy and put them back on. If there is a problem or for cleaning. I never see this technic on YT. I have screw in, and I can even take care of them myself. Doctors do not like that, but my doc knows me very well.

@chrysvest4746 did you get implants ??

@@pany167 yes! I am more than happy them!

@@chrysvest4746 Thanks for replying back. It gives me Hope. Could you please tell if you got an implant supported bridge with 2 implants screwed in for 4 crowns ??

@@pany167 yes. Two implants, a bridge of 4 “crowns” there wasn’t enough bone after the way the front ones were smashed in to do it any other way.

What are stem cells? People say that stem cells in dental implants can grow new teeth

Do you have any gum recession around your implants ??

No way

@@tswwarrior8089 Yes way! As a matter of fact, the gum part that the teeth are mounted to, separated from the metal plate last week and I super glued them back on, and they're still holding strong. What do you think they use to hold them in when they're sent in for repair?

@Saxon idk but I didn't think literal superglue

@@tswwarrior8089 Well, they could be using some sort of epoxy but if super glue works.

At what age did the issue start if you don't mind sharing?

@@mango-strawberry what issue? The bone exposure/tartar buildup? It just started becoming an issue about a year ago, when I was 22. Probably would’ve been able to put things off a bit longer if I’d gotten the tartar removed earlier.

@@brandonsheaffer5035 6

He didn't seem to address the issue of just pulling the tooth and doing nothing because most people think their whole set of teeth must be perfect. I think what he was saying was that implants are technically better than any other repair, such as root canals and crowns, bridges, dentures etc. Being old, when I had a tooth go bad under crown I considered no other option than to have it pulled and doing nothing else

I've recently had crowns, veneers and an implant (UK). As far I am aware the actual implant is always surgical grade titanium as used in fracture clinics for fixing bones etc. The crown that fits to the titanium implant (or fits over a ground down tooth) is typically zirconia if it is a good quality one.

I have a video on this exact thing coming out later today! Bone from another species does work very well, in the right situations. Of course there are ethical arguments as well.

Material from cadavers is also used. When I found out that was usually their first choice and they usually don't tell the patient it is from a cadaver, I refused the use of cadaver material, and another material was used. It has been years so I don't remember what that material was made of but it worked well for me.

I think it has to do with how you bite , what material etc. I have them and I do have problems. I also think that allergy problems are over looked. You can react to Titanium, or the material that goes ON the Implant! The Metal they use for the tooth to put on, no matter what material the tooth is, is NOT titanium. And I think that is where my problem is.

I bite corn on the cob, chicken, steak etc., with ne problem. It depends on a good implant specialist that does the work. I have mine for over 20 years!

@@Willa3144 at what age did you get your implants. Is it a full set or was it one or more than 1. I will need 3. The premolars. I do brush my teeth twice a day. I just curious on how they hold up in the long run with maybe just replacing the crowns once if needed. I’m 32

@@MartinHernandez-qq2fw I was about 50 when I got a full upper implant. All my friends and acquaintances remarked about how nice my teeth looked without knowing that they were implants.

I prefer do implants with oral surgeon, they know more then dentist, they have training for 2 years after graduation.

Exactly - Yes (If they are not beyond repair)
