3 months ago I got 6 implants and 5 of them failed I had temporary teeth placed on the 5 implants that failed I grind and clench which made them fail. I got new bone grafts done and we are trying again in 3 months but until then I won’t have top teeth. My gag reflex is too sensitive for dentures I tired. I’ve been blessed to have parents who have the money to help otherwise I’d be toothless forever. It’s been a very hard emotionally for me I’m good for physical pain. I’m under 40 and it’s wild that this is happening to more younger women and ppl then I thought. Dental care needs to be more affordable period! Thank you for sharing your experience it’s helped me a lot get through everything. Thank you thank you.

I am a horrible clincher as well. I was sure mine would fail because of how bad I am. I found online, I think in the comments to one of her videos here, that you can get Botox for clenching! I called the dentist who was doing my implants and they had an office that specialized in Botox for anything that they worked with. I had zero idea that was a thing. I still have to wear the guards and stuff at night, but might be something to look into. I am so sorry you have to go through all this. The initial part isn’t fun, I can’t imagine doing it again, and not having teeth while you wait. If your dentist does t offer Botox, check at a Med spa type place and they will do it too. My primary dr offers Botox as well and she said she would do it if my dentist didn’t have anything. She said a lot of dentist didn’t know that was an option. Good luck hun! 💙

I'll add my story. I was 39 when I realized it was time to pull the rest. I'd done flippers, and multiple partials. I'd had enough! My Prosthodontist immediately suggested implants with an implant bar to secure the dentures. Of course at the time I couldn't afford that so we pressed on with the dentures and adhesive creams. Fast forward to 46 years old and now we can afford a bit more. So we have our oral surgeon place eight implants with my dentist placing locaters in my existing dentures. That was 15 years ago and being young and having the added stability I broke every denture I had made for the next 15 years. At least 4 sets. Fast forward to today at 61 years old. At this point we're financially secure and we decided enough is enough. We invested 50 thousand dollars (over what we've already spent) and had four more implants placed and a set of screw in Zirconia prosthetics placed. Was it worth the wait? (Mind you, I was someone who adapted to dentures very well but broke them due to excessive force.) It was SO worth the wait. What I have now is the healthiest set of teeth I've ever had in my entire life including my childhood!!

@Ricky Bobby, you have quite the trajectory with dentures n now implants. How did you manage to brake four sets of dentures? Was the material not as durable? I have always had bad teeth but everything went downhill at around age 48. Now in my late fifties, I decided to have them all extracted n wear dentures. The set I have makes my mouth protrude n I can't speak as clearly. I'm getting new dentures in the next few months. The cost was $15,000. They placed two screws in my lowers so the denture can attach better I asked my dentist about the Zirconia material and he said that if I was ready to pay at least 20,000 more he'd look into it. Do you know about cost? I am growing weary of dentures but for now can't spend another penny. I'm pleased for you that you no longer have to deal with breakage or adhesive... The 50,000 was well spent! 👍

@@linak7155 They were typical denture material which is acrylic. When used as dentures alone its ok since the force is never going to be that much and they will move (give). With implants the movement is limited and with better than average force they will break (crack and eventually break) I'm currently at 'All on 6' which is six implants upper and six implants lower. The prosthesis is made of Zircronia which is about as strong as Diamond and is fixed meaning I its screwed into each of the implants. Only my dentist can take them out. I hope this helps.

I hate the stigma. I was fortunate enough to be able to afford implants. I didn't have " bad oral health". I have Lupus. The meds caused me to lose enamel and my teeth were super sensitive and would break. I am so upset dental health is not viewed as important! You lose an arm, insurance will cover prosthetic. Lose teeth and it's cosmetic!!!! We must do better. I joke and say I have the equivalent of a new Toyota Camry in my mouth.

I was 24-25 when I got my top teeth removed and removable denture up top. But I ended up taking them out and roughing up my gums and eating with nothing up top. And it didn’t bother me until I met my Husband now. We’ve been together for 3 years and he pointed out how I didn’t smile as much. And then my bottom teeth were horrible and kept getting worse. I knew I wouldn’t be able to function with a full set of removable dentures. And so did he. He knew I wasn’t going to wear them if I felt them slide around. I am 29 and he is 49. He pulled the money from his retirement despite me telling him I would suck it up. And to this day I’m still healing 3 weeks post op unloaded healing and I don’t know what I did to deserve this because I thought it was out of reach and then he did what he did. I’m so fortunate and I don’t take this for granted at all. And I want to say thank you for your videos! I didn’t know what to get to care for my teeth when I get them and thanks to your videos I got everything and it also helped put my mind at ease with everything.

Hi Kristi,I have worn dentures at 24/ yrs old,I had no choice for the cost of repairing my teeth.I hated them,This was back in 1968 and dentures were not that pretty.When I got to my 30’s I became so self conscious of my smile.So back to 15 yrs ago my husband remortgaged our house $70,000 I have bone grafts twice and finally had my implants.My life changed,no more stomach problem from not being able to eat properly.I found You Chanel a few years back and guess what my husband remortgaged our house again 😂😂Bless him.Found a new prostodonist here in Houston who said she can get me Ivaclar overdenture and my hybrid on my lower.I did have to have more bone grafts on top.I gave her a photo of my natural teeth at 17 yrs old.This took a year because Of some issues.My teeth look just like my natural teeth and my Ivaclar overdenture And hybrid look gorgeous.I feel complete again and love my smile.I am 73 yrs old and 35 yrs old in my head..Here is the thing that people have said about the money we have spent on my teeth......”You could buy a Lexus or a Mercedes car for that amount you spent............I drive a Honda,,,,,,,,,,,I don’t want a luxury car..............I want my life back and my smile again.My health has improved..............I am off my angziety medicine.I don’t have to worry about my teeth sliding around if we are at dinner with friends.Or what if I break a tooth on a denture.I would be a nervous wreck on things that could go wrong with dentures.What if I had surgery of something and they take my teeth out and possibly lose them while I am sedated.I was a real wack job do to me so vain on how I would look without my teeth.If I hadn’t found your Chanel I would have known about Ivaclar who manufacture such life like teeth.Want I want to say to people who get implants is to not leave your dentist office until you are shown how to keep your dental implants immaculate clean.My first Prostodonist never showed me every step and I lost 3 implants from not knowing all of the steps to keep my implants cleaned properly..Thank you Kristi for taking your time to be an advocate for dental implants and of course Ivaclar.♥️♥️♥️

I've just started following you for a short time and have been impressed, but this video was so SPOT ON! So true to life! DENTURES WORK! I lived with them for seven years and it was such an improvement from my rotten decayed natural teeth. There was no pain. There was a full mouth of teeth. Granted they weren't the most secure but with adhesives I got along just fine. Yes!!!! This video is SPOT ON! I wish you the most success as you truly bring a great message to those who not only need, but are hard pressed to find real discussions.

Insurance depending on your carrier does cover implants, or at least they did for me. Insurance carriers are starting to now accept this type of coverage, the most important thing is to call and ask. Check with your carrier especially during open enrollment to see what options are available with upgraded coverage. I would have never known if I had not called, and asked by chance because I was unsure about the open enrollment options. Check different carriers and see what they have to offer, I use Delta Dental, that was the coverage we had for our dependents in the military, and when I retired that coverage switched to me also. I'm not even at the top tier coverage which there is one more. Research you options...

I just found your site and was watching your videos on dentures and was highly informed on what an individual gives thru. I’ve had two implants in with the thought of getting all on 4. One of the healing caps has fallen out, and am going back to have it reinserted. They will cut the gum line insert the cap back in and sew it up to heal, ( again). I had two bridges that eventually failed after 30 years doing their job. I had all the top remaining teeth removed and a top denture was made. This ongoing saga has included , bone grafting, and a sinus lift. Long story short, I have a top denture, and will have two healing caps, that are not going to be used. I will make the best of having this new way of eating, 😮. After hearing you have implants I immediately thought WTF? But I’m sure that given the opportunity to have dentures “paid for”, the lineup would be endless. Good luck with them.

I am in the process of implants. E DAY was April 25 , 2022. I had 5 bottom implants placed at that surgery. I had immediate top and bottom dentures placed the day of surgery. 3 weeks after first surgery I got a temp bottom full acrylic arch screwed into the implants. This was a game changer and has made eating (soft foods ) and speaking so much easier. 4 weeks from today I will get my 6 upper implants placed and then 3 weeks after that I will get my final top and bottom arches screwed in to my jaw. It has been a process, the reality of it has been much more extensive than I anticipated but worth it so far. The oral surgeon/dentist and the whole team have been amazing. In about 7 weeks I should be completely done. Still will need to wait several months to let the implants Integrate into the bone before can eat the steaks and bite into an Apple.

But snap-in was just $20,053 with 8 posts. I am drawing the money from my 401k and will begin my procedure next month...Just worried about the swelling and pain the first few weeks after the implants are put in. Hopefully, they will give me some pain medication so I can at least sleep and be comfortable during the first few days..

Thank you so much for this video I didn't understand about the bone loss aspect I was scared and anexity really sets off my gag reflex. I have heard stories like that too where they get them at a young age. I am 28 years old and will be getting full top dentures only my bottoms arent getting taken but they possibly need a couple fillings and couple crowns. I think my plan is the same as yours. My wife and I are going to try our best to save. I am happy to hear that the starting with dentures isn't going to stop me from trying to get implants. My biggest fear was not being able to use them due to bone loss. I never cared how I look as a guy but I know it's fueled my depression and hurt me. Preventing me from wanting to go through with it. It's case by case. The more I know the more it helps me calm down. I am going to be getting my top teeth removed next week July 25th. I wont lie I been crying pretty bad. Worried sick with all the possible things that could happen. I had no idea it was a could thing I thought it was garenteed to happen and forced to get implants anyway. If I can last at least 5 to 6 years I can get the money saved up. I can even borrow it by then. The idea of oral surgery to get it done terrifies me too cause I never done surgery. Bless you for this video and answering so many questions. Theres so much misinformation out there that just scares away people from even trying. I know I feel so much better knowing that I have time. I will be making sure they keep a close eye on my upper jaw bone so I don't lose top much before I can get implants

Dental surgeon told me I had great bone structure and condition and thankfully recommended the two smaller ‘snap-in’ implants at the lower front, placed ON the day of the full extraction, and a removable for up top. Still getting used to the upper - it fits well but looser as the bone shrinks, necessitating Fixodent Plus already (no relines yet, but maybe later), and I barely use the bottom one because it’s just too loose and wobbly. Plus, I know I’ll be replacing the immediate with something more permanent eventually, and the bottom will snap in by then (hopefully) and I’m hoping I can then start the adjustment to a full set, because right now there’s no point since I can’t do much with both in, but can do a lot with just the top denture and bottom gums, including eat, be seen in public, smile, etc. The process is different for everyone, I’m sure, but overall it’s been preferable to having a mouth full of teeth broken off at the gum line!

Any tips for denture to look natural also improve area around mouth lips etc . Dentist said its alot to do with facial muscles. I can't afford implants so decided best denture I can afford. Told my dentist without your channel I wouldn't have information to ask questions . Thank you sooo much. xx

thank you so much for your videos. im 45 and getting dentures within the next 6 months. i wanted 4 on four and my awesome dentist who is a top specialist in FL would have given me a great deal on them but an xray showed i have too much bone loss from missing teeth in the back / top for years so id need a bone graph which can take a year to work / complete. Its a lot of money and not guaranteed that it will take and very painful. im opting to just get regular dentures due to this. i was just wondering if your mom's dentist said she would need a bone graph if she wanted implants on the bottom.

What does it cost to replace the implant/tooth portion of all on 4 after wear & tear and staining maybe 5-10 years in… hopefully it’s much less expensive since the surgical part is done- and you just need a new “implant”. I had my top done, bottom are my own natural teeth, but due to an accident I ended up having top removed. My on 4 is made from same material as dentures and not the more expensive sealed type now available. So due to staining at the fake gum line I’m sure I’ll need to replace at some point. Thought maybe you’d have an idea since you’ve been there also- thanks!

Hi Larry Goodman, I like you didn’t have any money. So I Googled low income dental care for adults. The state and town I live in. You pay based on your income. I have had one tooth pulled lots more to go. You also could Google dentists that see patients on sliding scale. Sometimes they charge inexpensive flat rate. The most important thing is you get the teeth pulled. Because I was in no pain the infection had spread to the bone in my jaw. I was really lucky it didn’t kill me. Once something like that happens it affects the neighboring teeth. I have three that are infected now that need to be pulled. Your life is irreplaceable teeth can be figured out later. I hope you feel pain free very soon.

Unfortunately im on medicaid and medicare....so i only get what I get....but I have no idea how to resolve this issue....if I could I would get the snap in's. I think those would resolve my issue at the cheaper rate. If you have any idea's please let me know, im at a loss, and spending more time without my dentures, than with....

I was blessed to have money in my 401K; which I took out what I needed to get implants the day they pulled my teeth. It was the bone loss that I watched others go through that pushed me to do whatever I had to do in order to get them. I’m still in my temporary dentures for a few more months, then I will have my permanent that will snap in. Best decision I ever made; and the cost over the years in all the dental work I had done was more than the implants. So, going forward, I’m saving my bone and money.

My question is how can one have implants put in after years of not having any teeth in place to prevent the bone loss. Especially on the lower jaw. How do get around the nerve that runs along the top of the lower jaw once bone loss is prevalent. My understanding is if that nerve is severed or damaged in any way you would have a droopy jaw like a stroke victim.

But he does have times where he gets disoriented and forgets where he is and who he is. So I can’t leave him alone so I can’t go back to work. We live on his small pension from the Navy little disability from the VA. We are able to pay our rent and utilities buy groceries. So I know that I have to get the dentures that we can afford. It is just my first set and my teeth now are in lousy condition. My new teeth will be in good condition. I can smile and laugh no more infections. Sounds great too me.

I have an important question, I hope you will answer. I have a dental bridge (teeth loss as a teenager from a drunk driving accident). And I want to get implants. I want to try my best to explain one major reason why and you would know better than anyone the answer to this. I feel this bridge creates a projection/protrusion in my upper lip /phylum area (its upper teeth) I want my teeth to be more flush with my gums. Wouldnt this affect a persons appearance? There is a ledge there between the teeth and gum --several mms beyond the gum area. Woulndt implants help correct this? Also, I did meet with a great dentist who thinks it will help and the price was not $50k but about $30k...Im thinking this is a decent price. Well, Id love it if you can answer this question on upper lip/phylum protrusion ..thank you!

I never knew about the bone loss thing I knew that the bone shrinks. But I knew I would have to get dentures sooner or later. But years ago I told the dentist I was going to I wanted to look into getting implants. They said I was too young I told them I didn’t care and I still don’t care because I never took really good care of my teeth to begin with. Now I’m getting implants and I have my rods put in on top and on the bottom. I go back to my dentist next month for impressions then in September I get my snap in dentures. But I more than likely could’ve went without teeth because I ate just about whatever I wanted when I had teeth.

I was born with soft teeth. As a teenager I was told I'd have dentures by 25 years of age. I made it to 49 . In 2020 I ended up going to a school in San Diego for free implants and I wish I had never done that. They removed all my teeth and placed 12 implants. All 12 failed. I wasn't able to eat solid food for two years, until this past October. I lost over 100# I look like a skeleton now. I had a heart attack in April of 2022 because of malnutrition. Currently I'm trying to save the $45000 to have implants again. I'm sick now and afraid I won't ever make it to the point I'll be able to eat again. But I'm doing my best.

I was watching your videos when I was told I needed full dentures because my bottom teeth had to be pulled. Boy I panicked. I had virtually no money but wanted to find another option to keep the top teeth and get a bottom arch with implants. The price for the work I would need was too much in the US. I looked into dental work outside of the u.s. I am in southern California and found a place 4 hr drive from my home in Mexico called Los Algodones. Long story short, I ended up getting the work done there after a lot of research. It is referred to as Molar City. Catering to American retirees mostly but not all. Here is a list of what I had done there. Had 8 implants, full zirconia arch for bottom, five bone graphs, 8 teeth pulled, one root canal, a procedure called an aleoplasty to even out the jaw bone for a level surface for the arch. Plus had my top crowns and 2 bridges, 12 teeth in all, replaced with new crowns. The total of all that work was $19000. It would have cost me about $70,000 here. No exaggeration here at all. My sister paid for half or I would have had to finance some how. Crazy. 5 year guarantee on all work too.
