If you are considering all on 4 treatments, you may have come across 3 on 6 as an alternative treatment to replace a full set of teeth with dental implants.
Both all on 4 and 3 on 6 promise to replace a full set of teeth and neither of these treatments are new, although, with good marketing, it can make it seem that one is better than the other.
In this video, I will explain the differences, and when one is better than the other, if at all.
In general, all on 4 is a single, long arch bridge that connects all of your teeth, and the 3 on 6 is three shorter bridges that fit together to form the same full arch smile.
What an eye-opening video. You seem genuinely committed to doing right by your patient.
Yeah, life is so much better when you can sleep well at night!
@@drgurssehmi u are very nice! I wish we had similar docs in US, I wish I could also sleep good at night, and want to kill my self cuz of constant teeth issues after giving birth, and trying to fix them bankrupt me, I swear after all the pain and struggle it would be easier to die, if I didn’t have a child to raise I don’t think I would be greeting up in the mornings.
@@drgurssehmi Thank you for the excellent video. May you never have insomnia. I had 50 years of good sleep. Been a battle for 12 years now. Wearing my first set of removable dentures (day 5). Never even heard of 3 on 6 before. Will be scheduling a couple of consult appointments in Las Vegas, NV tomorrrow for a better solution. I really have less troubles with the lower than the upper, which is not the usual case from what I understand. I have a hyper gag reflex, so there is just too much acrylic for me with the upper. While my dentures are esthetically fine, they don't function well for chewing. Tried to eat a salad, and even the lettuce gave me trouble.
@@thedutchess1436 I feel your pain. Life sucks for me since my health declined and my teeth started acting crazy decay even though I brush and floss 3 times a day.😤 I even developed severe anxiety when it comes time to go to dentist cause I become paranoid they going to say I have to have yet another extraction. They have to put me to sleep give me nerve medicine 2 to 3 hours before every appointment. What's really funny is I worked as a dental assistant for 6 years!🤓😩🤪
@@deenadee4946 sorry to hear that, but hang in there, u know even if they do extract more, n I went thru similar thing of what the content creator went thru, it def was tough, and ppl looking at you the way like you are some sort of a drug addict amd poor really can cause that anxiety and even depression, even tho they don’t realize that sometimes it’s genetics mixed with immune disorder or some other health issue, plus it’s not cheap, I ve spent over 20k in 4-5 years and it didn’t get me anywhere but to spent even more to extract everything( which in my state is $220-$275 per tooth), and than everything else is even more money, but you just keep going, the sooner u take care of it, the better you will feel, the emotional pain, anxiety and all this horror goes away once you even have a temporary solution, trust me, it’s a huge relief, I’m still waiting to do smth permanent, but I feel and look so much better, all my sadness and embarrassment is gone, and the pain, you forget about it, honestly, you just can’t fix the issue without the pain, so just keep going, and trust me all your anxiety will be gone as soon as u get smth that looks ok, even if it’s temporary! Wish you all the best! It will get better! Just don’t give up, and don’t let it others judgment get to you too much, cuz at the end of the day- it is hard, painful, expensive, but it’s fixable, and you will get there, the most important thing is that it’s usually not life threatening, that’s a bright side, try to think positive ( I know it’s hard) but just let yourself think about the future when u will get your teeth fixed and how you will have the best life ahead of you still! 😎💪💪🙏
Extremely useful and informative. You answer so many questions and are simply a blessing to consumers... patients!
This guy seems considerably brighter as well as more honest than the other dentists on TH-cam.
Wow, what a great video, thank you for been so unbiased. I was researching the 3 on 6 and came across your video. Everything you said made perfect sense. Bravo
This video is such a blessing...He answered all the questions the the advertisement refused to...This really helps the consumer...
Thanks so much for the most informative video on this subject. I have learned more here in 14 minutes and 40 seconds than I had in 3 weeks viewing others. You have no idea how to what extent you have changed lives by this info. To be your client would be a dream come true. Thanks again!
Dr Sehmi, I would love to have treatment in the UK just to have you as my dentist. Such an honest, mild-mannered physician! Thank you for truly caring about patients.
I think a LOT of people would agree with you. I only wish we could clone Dr. Sehmi !
Thank you for another beautiful, clear and honest video.
You are a good man Sir. I can tell you care about your patients. Thank you for the video. 👍🏾
Very detailed information. I wish every professional in their fields were this informative about educating people on these types of things. I learned so much by watching your videos. You don’t try selling a product. You educate people on procedures they may or may not need. Great video! Cheers!
He sells all in 4 all the time.Ask about the way food gets stuck under the all on 4 and the fact that it can’t be removed and that a normal dentist can’t help you.
I’m so appreciative for your honesty. Dentistry is so much more complex than trying to simplify and generalize all mouths to only a couple treatment algorithms. I listen to all your videos and really like the way you think and approach each person as an individual.
I'm glad that I found this channel and your explanation is well received and understood. Thank you!
I love his delivery style. Natural, sincere and honest. As long as we have the information we can make informed decisions weighing up the pros and the cons.
This dr makes it super clear to understand the risks involved in every procedure… most of these dentists that have videos on TH-cam like to make silly jokes or montages about things to make it seem like they’re being serious. All we want is for them to give us the answers we want. Thank you dr Gurs
Thank you for honest information, it helps to be an informed consumer
They are self diagnosing because they cannot get a dentist that doesn’t require a €30,000 loan to get a filling
So true, We used HebeDoc in Mexico for my dad and did the all-on-4 for $12,000 instead of $30,000. We financed 80% of it through a medical credit card they helped us with and dad is only paying $300 per month…
Stay away from doctors in the US, the middle east and Europe. Those are all going to be copying the Juice and stealing your money. The best place to get your teeth fixed is in Mexico, where real doctors work. Really!
Hi dr gurs,greetings from perth australia...thank you for your highly informative and well meant talk on this most important subject.your interest and passion to properly inform us comes through loud and clear.i am an admirer of the sikhs as direct straight shooters,.thank you.
Great video. Clear, concise and well spoken…
I really wish I could get my teeth done by him, honesty truly eases the customers mind 😭
I just want to say Thank you so much for being so honest with us as viewers :) You are an amazing doctor:)
Yes, he does have calming voice. NICE
Thank you for this! Super helpful. After dealing with a lifelong history of bad teeth, non stop tooth pain, cavities filled, root canals, bonding done for broken teeth, extractions, etc. I finally took the plunge a couple of years ago and pulled all my back molars on the top and bottom. I have two partials. The top one I paid $500 for which is better quality then the bottoms that keep breaking on me. One of my canines just broke and I’m on day 3 of excruciating pain. U.S. healthcare is a joke and covers bare minimum with dentistry, as they consider it to be cosmetic. Apparently whoever made that decision has never had tooth pain or the inability to eat certain foods. I’ve been looking into travel dentistry and realize if I want to get the work done, that I will no doubt need to have it done in another country. Hopefully I can afford it come the future!
Keep in mind that this guy is an all in 4 salesman.

I wish Dr Sehmi was my dentist, I subscribed because his kindness, honesty and genuiness (not sure this is a real word😂), pours out from the screen. Plus it’s also nice to hear a fellow British person as a lot of Dentists on You Tube are overseas.
He sounds like a great man and his parents must be so proud ❤️
Unfortunately I think it’s too late for me and my teeth to have a nice smile again 😢😢 I’m grateful for the masks 😷 we have to wear now 😢
Hey I don't think it's ever too late to get a nice smile again. It may be too expensive though sadly. There are some great cheaper dentists in the EU though.
@@leaperrins8373 true
I would love to have you diagnose my dental issues. Seem like a good person with great energy
Excellent point regarding the triangles between each tooth for gum appearance
Thank you so much Dr. for your honest presentation of the option for the denture implants . I am 63, I only have 4 teeth and I am so very miserable and have run into walls in trying to find the right treatment for me. I have not gotten anyway close to finding some that I feel I can have enough comfort was 40,000 to 50,000 and the last one was cheapest at 36,000.....I feel like crying, that is way too expensive for me I could maybe do 20,000 to 25,000 but so far there is nothing in that range. I feel so discouraged. At the first of the year , I was told that I needed to have all my teeth removed except for four and then they would make me a partial which was a lot better option than dentures. The dang partial did not work good for me at all, went to see if they could adjust it and they tried to adjust and see if it was a good fit after three hours they tossed it in my lap and told me to do the best I could with it. I cannot believe what they did not do and how I was left out with no teeth. More to this saga but this is enough just to see all of my frustrations. I am so depressed and I have tried different out of town and state to no avail. I appreciate your time I saw an opportunity to vent because of the way you seem to care a lot about patients and their circumstances. I wish you were here in the US,lol. I wish you well.

Am getting mines $11,000 for all on 4 upper teeth that's all in Manhattan!
@@ramonpizarro3189 Where is Manhattan my friend???
@@ramonpizarro3189 did you get your implants if so how did it go and why were they so cheap?! Please come back and let us know!
@@Sssssssslf yup just got them my all on 4 don't know why there where cheap but I got them and he did a hell of a job as a matter of fact he implanted 6 implants to support my all on 4 and still charge me the same!
Most Excellent description of the various implants and versions of each. Excellent explanation between 3on6 being a name brand manufacturer and have a set regiment to their implants where also an individual dentist can do the same thing and have more freedom to fit it to a particular mouth depending on gum depth etc. A lot of variables to consider and the specifically 3 on 6 does not allow for full freedom on Dentists. The all on 4 is a very good presentation of what that is. I like a Dentist to consider how minimal the gum brace needs to be in my mouth so they are also be secure and give the right Aesthetics when laughing. Great Job Doctor!!
Thank you Dr. Sehmi. I just had all on 4. On the top. 11 crowns and a custom abatement on bottom. Thursday. Day 2.5 my face finally started coming back to normal.
I can listen to this man talk all day. I am gonna get some work done I have severe crowding in my bottom teeth and my top ones are shifted and my two fronts are larger than normal.
Thank you. you made more sense than anyone has about dentures and the way they look and feel.
I wish there were more genuinely concerned doctors like this. I just had all my teeth pull at Affordable Dentures and I am now convinced I could have saved 80percent of them. So depressed.
How many did u have pulled at once
@@carlward9367 all of them she said
Hey. They do it to thousands of people I believe....they did it to me. They lied to my face and then kept telling me it will be ok and your fine ...your gonna be a billboard for us and I'm giving you a deal....I want you to look good......nah they make bonuses off you at the expense of your well being .....it's costed me 12k lost my detail business lost 20 pounds the first 2 weeks and slipped back into depression and anxiety.....after a year I'm still struggling to forgive myself ......cause I knew better but I gave the benefit of the doubt and it costed me dearly .....my life was looking up and I was a recovering alcoholic.......now I slipped back. and been drunk for a year. There's a video of a girl that had her brother die from drugs so she got I to the same thing and after recovering went to get here teeth fixed at a place liked DDS or affordable dentures same place I did and it fucking ruined her. If we could all find each other on the web we could class action law suit the fucks.... guarnetee it. Affordable and DDS are the same company.
@@jakebarrett2339 what did they give you , dentures on a plate or implants?
@@thebrightsideofthemoon5829 No I mean I lost my job was unable to work after being back in the bottom of a bottle......no implants ...nothing but bulky plastic and a bone that has shrunk % 40. I learn now that the bone will continue to diminish since there's no teeth to stimulate the bone. Basically your lips and face will cave in soon as you remove your denture's. That may take many years but I'm not going to find out. I got my cdl and going over the road away from my kids and family to pay for this shit. Bone grafts and implants and fixed bridges. Not doing any dentures. Dr Jose moguel in Los algadones has an all on 8 procedure and many other options and just under 20k some a lille higher. Still beats 30 to 60 k in the states and this guy has been doing it for a very long times, supposed to be the best.
Sir, you have nice and calming voice
Thank you
I was thinking the same thing, wish you practiced in the states sir
@everyonetookmyid just caught your comment. I'm from the US also northern east coast area. Have you been able to find anyone to do this procedure for you? I cannot find anyone who will do extractions and procedure in house. Seems I need to see Oral surgeon then Peridontist which with doing 4 on four snap on's will cost more than a house. Full mouth extractions - bone grafting, etc is $26,000 plus extra for sinus liftand CAT scan; Periodontist - just temporary set $21,000, final set won't give me cost.
Hope all goes well, wish I lived in India as prices here are outrageous. Plus I hear that after care here in the US is extremely costly.
@@rosea.strehler9037 he is not in India! He practices in London?! Hello?!
@@rosea.strehler9037 Why do you automatically think he practices in India ❓He’s British.
this is so well explained!
Most detailed explanation of implants I have herd so far. I am 65, and have about 7 teeth on my jaw and none left on my upper. I had a childhood disease for which the doctors gave me a medicine which militated against a normal smile ever. What price range could you imagine for my implants of either style?
We went with HebeDoc for my dad and did the all-on-4 for $12,000 instead of $30,000. We financed 80% of it through a medical credit card they helped us with and dad is only paying $300 per month…
Great video! Explains so much! Thank you Dr!
Thank you for covering this subject in details.
You explain things really well
It's easy to see that you are honest and being absolutely sincere. Plus you are very knowledgeable in this field... I wish I lived closer to you? Although, that wouldn't change my situation, because I can't afford nice things like these...
I actually found a great implants Dr. in Bentonville Arkansas! Dr. Johnson and team are amazing!!!
how much
so happy found your videos. If I still lived in SW3i would sure visit
Thank you for you transparent honest information. 😊
This guy is as sincere as they come
Excellent detailed info. on the whys & wherefores of design and installation of various types. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this detailed informative advice as I'm deciding what to do
Thank you Dr Sehmi, this detailed and specific advice is very helpful.
Thanks for the explanations, very helpful.
My gums do not show when I smile. I had the three on six done and I absolutely love them. The best part if something breaks you only have to replace that bridge and not the whole thing and also you can still have them taken out for cleaning if needed. All on four means your jaw is actually shaved down taking away good bone to make it work. My new teeth really do feel natural to me and I’m so glad I had this procedure done. One last thing to mention since you brought up prices, it was about $10,000 cheaper compared to all on four.
Where did you have it done?
@@1RungAtATime Smile Clinic in Utah. They have a few other clinics in other states but I’m not sure where. I do know that people fly from all over the states to come to the one in Utah which happens to be the one where the inventor of the 3 on 6 works. He will also do all on Four for far cheaper than Clear Choice.
@@jawsgreatwhite9966 how much did it cost?
@@lk-cd9fe it was expensive I’m not gonna lie but every candidate will have a different price depending on how many teeth are removed. I was quoted by clear choice at $54,000 and I kept looking around until I found smile clinic and had everything done for $43,000. Yes it is the price of a new car so I’ve kept my beater car going and never looked back. It’s been over a year now and the teeth are paid off and I have no regrets. It’s been amazing to have nice teeth and to eat whatever I want with no worries. It’s an investment in yourself is how I looked at it.
Thank you so much !The world 🌎 needs more people like you 🙏! Is there a dentist in the Washington DC area that you can recommend? I NEED FULL MOUTH RESTORATION!
Thanks Gurs, I am guilty of productizing my problem like many others
Everyone does the same! :)
@ 6.04 Your reaction is simply truthful ♥️. A lot of practitioners don't say the truth and don't feel guilty about it too. God bless you brother.
My sister needs a full mouth restoration and after watching this video I have full confidence she would be in good hands visiting your practice for her dental treatment 😊
Thank you for this video...It helped me to decide that yes...I'm going for the All on 4!
I am sure it will transform your life in a good way! :)
All on 6 is better
@@thebrightsideofthemoon5829 Can u tell me why the all on 6 is better my friend? B/c I'm tryin to decide which one I'm gonna get!?
How much was ur procedure costs if u don't mind me asking? Can u also explain to us what u got done & how long did it take for everything to be done?
@@vegetaking1272 the all on 4 has a gap running between your gum and the denture which gets food trapped inside. You have to pay about 3 times a year to have the all on 4s removed and have a deep clean which I guess won’t be cheap. But the all on 6 or 8 are permanently fixed more like your real teeth.
😥 that's right Doc as long as transform my life for a long term period. Hope I can find a great Dr.where I don't have to go back 10 times to fix problems. 🙏
Thanks Mr Gurs ur videos really really helped me n thanks for making it for the welfare of humanity
Very useful. Thank you so much.
I like how you explain yourself concise & precise. I'd go to ya if ya were in the USA. You're straight up. I really like that 🙏🇺🇸 what's wierd is today I went to a dental surgeon that does the whole enchilada. I was asked what I wanted so I said definitely not dentures but idk what. He's staff explained it all for the all in one. Think I'm going that route.
Thank you for your excellent videos. Your explanations are very easy to understand. You should consider becoming a dental teacher when you retire someday. I was wondering if YOU had bad teeth and bone loss or money where not an issue, which treatment would you choose for yourself ? Thanks Rob...
I wish you were my dentist. You sound so calming.
Younger sister had the 3-on-6 she got it done here in US. Within 3 months she was regretting. After a year she had them removed and got traditional All on 4.
@@CC-hv9ei the actual teeth on the 3 on 6 weren’t as strong & chipped & implants never really healed 100% but with All on 4 the teeth were stronger bc it had the additional layer of acrylic gums and not just the teeth with metal rods.

@@CC-hv9ei I just asked my sister (she’s one who had it done) she said it was in Utah. At the same clinic you mentioned. I thought it was done in Colorado.
@@CC-hv9ei my sister said I needed to tell you to trust the reps they helped her decide. She also said pain wasn’t bad at all, she also said the office staff is amazing & treats every patient with respect & treat you like a person not just like a payment like so many dentists do.
@@vincentcalabrese9157 did she go back to the same clinic in Utah to do that all on four? I’m sorry the three and six didn’t work for her. That’s what we are considering for my husband. Interesting that they weren’t strong enough. They advertise zirconia, which seems very strong.
i just love your demeanor you have such a positive vibe. i have been missing most of my teeth for over a decade and my youngest two children don't even know what I look like with teeth. I just turned 40 and keep a pic on the fridge of my teeth before i lost them. I use my mouth as a cautionary tale for them to take care of of their teeth. Though I lost mine with each pregnancy. I so appreciate these videos with valuable info as I watch all day everyday knowing one day I will possibly be able to see a dentist. You seem like a lovely caring person. Thank you.
WOW!! Thank you for such an informative video. I wish more dentists had the desire to educate. I have had an initial consult with dentist and he is recommending 3 on 6 (no gum!) procedure. I have osteoporosis and have sever bone loss so is it reasonable to proceed with dental implants? Is it reasonable for me to expect successful outcome, I have a tremendous fear that the implants will not be stable and fall out!
Thank you ...very straight forward
Thank you for a very informative video, very helpful indeed also nice to see someone who is not on a self serving mission.
King Sehmi again
Thank you so much for this info!
So informative!!
Thank you for your time.
Great video . I've talked to you before about angling implants. I'm a firm believer keeping implants as vertical as possible. I used to fabricate orthodontic appliances. Number one rule,put pressure on a tooth ,it doesn't take long for the root to become mobile and the tooth will move. You replied once that angling an implant could contribute to implant failure. Why don't dentists automatically do sinus lifts in order to place implants more vertically to lessen the possibility of failure Thanks Larry ,Stay Safe
Hi Larry. By splinting the implants as in the ao4 technique, you minimise lateral forces on an implant. It's the lateral forces that cause problems. Sinus lifts add a significant cost and surgical risk and time to the procedure. Often you cannot immediately load with sinus lift treatment. There is no evidence to show that angled implants like this are any more likely to fail, however single angled implants are a bad idea.
Also, it is almost impossible to have a full set of parallel implants, the maxilla is slightly conical, so even if it looks parallel on an X ray, it does not take into account bucco lingual angulation.
@@drgurssehmi I'm glad the implants have less chance of failure. With the over dentures we do if the implants and abutment are not as vertical as possible snapping on the denture gets more challenging but the pressure is distributed over the ridge and implants reducing the pressure on the implants.
I wish I could find somebody to help me pro Bono I'm in need of some help with my teeth but its so hard without a lot of money

On the other hand, is 3-on-6 the latest ( newest ) treatment ?? How expensive will it be for an upper / lower ??
To my knowledge, All-on-4 causes " drool ", does 3-on-6 also cause drool ???
Great helpful video.
Do we have an approximate cost for each full set....
In GBP.
And are there many payment options for this.
Great presentation and demeanour. You should be teaching communication skills to some of the dentists I have met locally. I'm not in the UK, so cant avail of your services but would happily do so if I were
I agree that as long as it transforms the person and they are happy, that's all that counts. I'm going to do the 3 on 6.

Thank you for this information.
I wish there were dentists like you in NJ .
Excellent and informative. The pursuit of the 'perfect' smile is resulting in patients not listening to dentists like this and having functioning teeth unnecessarily removed which is baffling for those of us who have lost natural teeth though accident or genetics.
Thank you for the vital information. I have no upper teeth, and I am considering this process. What is the average cost for the 4 in 6
Dr. Sehmi-my husband had dementia and need full mouth restoration. I think all on four is too hard to keep clean but the three on six is easier. Or are snap on the best and how to get them with the palate cut out? I am unclear on overdenture vs. denture... I am trying hard to find zirchonia implants as well due to biofilm formation and their lowered Immune system. Is there a way to start with snap one, implant placement and go to the best one if he can't manage? Grateful. 🙏
Dr Gurs Shmi, Do you recommend getting your teeth straightened before doing bridges? I need to have my 6 Middle teeth on top (two middle teeth are crooked) and bottom 6 replaced. (I had an accident) One dentist I saw wants to replace all six on top and bottom and the other one wants to do a complete mouth fix. I do grind my teeth badly and started about 4 years ago wearing a guard at night. suggestions please.
3 on 6 i have and the best 30,000 i ever spent and look like my natrul teeth and feels fantastic
What's taking so long to develop a growth hormone that can stimulate bone+gum development?

Thank you for the info in this video. I understand alittle more bout each system. I do have a question I was hoping you could answer. I have a pretty nasty case of bruxism. In your opinion: does that in its self make me not a candidate for implants?
No, bruxism is often caused by a bite disharmony, so this should be addressed before implants
@@drgurssehmi thank you for the information and response. Good to know implants are still an option.
I always enjoy you’re videos and friendly attitude. I do have a question. If someone gets a regular set of dentures can they later still get the all on six or all on 4?
Yes, this should not be a problem... The only down side is that if you wait too long, you might lose a lot of bone, making it harder to have implants (when I say long, I mean 5+ years)
@@drgurssehmi thank you.
@@drgurssehmi my dentist said bone loss is immediate and bone grafting would have to be done if implants are not done when teeth are pulled. You are saying I could get dentures and the all on 4 or 3 on 6 could be done if i do not wait to long that would really help me get my finances in order for the implants.
You will need bone graft and sinus lift
@@twatson6252 I don’t think bone would deteriorate instantly. I don’t know why your doctor told you that. After having my wisdom teeth pulled it took a good year before the bone started thinning out where they were.
Very informative thank you
Such an informative thorough video. Wish there were more dentists like you. Thank you
I suggest going to a prosthodontics. I had my regular dentist creat my crown and bridges for a very uncomfortable result. Five years later I saw a prosthodontics doctor and had it all redone. I has to take out a $12,000 loan but it was worth every penny to feel comfortable. I put comfort over appearance every time. I finally got both.
Lockdown enforced 2 weeks prior to my treatment. Any idea how much longer I will have wait before a new appointment can be made.
Thanks Gurs for another informative video.
Hi Chris. We are starting to open things in the next week, but we will only be able to see the most urgent emergencies first, and probably only about 5 patients a day. We need to wait a full hour between patients according to the new guidelines. It's a bit of a nightmare, but the guidance is changing regularly, so hopefully things should be near normal in a month or so... But don't quite me on that! I think you have my number right? Feel free to give me a call if you need to. Speak soon. Gurs
oh my goodness I wish you were closer to me. I am going through so much with my dental experiences, one thing after another. I had read about the three on six prior to seeing your TH-cam video. I was experiencing some dental issues, my two front teeth started to chip off and turn black. When I went to the dentist i was told the best option was to have all the teeth extracted and get dentures, I was limited because of financial situation, because I had to quit work due to some health issues. The temporary dentures never fit and the dentist I went to tried to due some sort of reline, when new impressions should have been done since the didn't fit from day one the top created and overbite and the bottoms never set properly and would always pop out when I was talking, and they were yellow.. This was from a very updated with all the fancy machines. watching your video gave me hope that I will find a dentist that can do nice dentures, I wanted the three on six but not sure I can afford it. Thank you for giving me hope, it just made my night. If I am lucky I will be able to find a dentist as special as you.
Thank you
Donna
Enjoyed watching and learning. Wish I lived in the UK, nearby your office.
I enjoyed watching you, I lived in the USA
Totally engaging! A personalized yet professional conversational approach to explaining these "systems" I do have some questions? QUESTION ONE: At each of the seams between the three different bridges in an all on 6, I see two implants in close proximity? Is their close proximity an issue given that they are carrying half the load of 6 teeth? QUESTION TWO. I had a bridge (3 unit upper )for 24 years and never had it removed so why would I want to remove a 3 on 6 bridge, especially given that I can track bone loss and condition using serial cone beam and I do a semi annual blood test that sniffs out infection via CBC and an immune panel? QUESTION THREE. Are any of these systems able to identify EVERY material used in their manufacture so that list can be compared to a biocomp or ELISA or Clifford PANEL? QUESTION FOUR. review your video beginning at 6:13 mark and catch yourself doing what you say the 3 on 6 chart is doing: you are skewing your dialog to support All on four while ADMITTING you have never done a 3 on 6 or even seen one! IN HONESTY: your approach to the learning patient in a growth mindset turned from genuine to disingenuous right about here. I ENCOURAGE you to clinically observe a 3 on 6 process or at least a patient before making the conclusions that you have. At the same time I thank you heartily for the clarity this video provided me in helping me to formulate more questions for practitioners. It looks like due to costs I will soon be a dental tourist.
Thank you so much! Like several others commenting here, your video came up after the 3 on 6 video. Never heard of All on 4 or All on 6, never mind 3 on 6, before I met my dentist. I had my first consult with the maxillofacial surgeon a few days ago. He’s working with my dentist, who will ultimately make the permanent All on 4 piece. IF the Dr. #1 sees I have enough bone for the procedure (lower). It’s a long and expensive process.
Go to an implant specialist. The entire procedure is done in a day or two, and you have a temporary set of teeth, then you go back after 3 or 6 months after the implants have ocicfied, and they make your permanent set. If you can't afford it here, they are doing fantastic work in Mexico, Costa Rica, Thailand, Turkey etc. For a fraction of the cost. I'm going to Cancun, mexico, to get both arches done for half the cost it is here in CA.
@@rebeccafay9734 I will have a Board Certified Oral Surgeon doing the scans, extractions, and implants. He’s working with a lab for the temp plate.
@@rebeccafay9734 how much is the cost in Cancun to have whole mouth done with 3 and 6? What is the name of Dr and facility? What resort do you stay at? How long do you have to be in Mexico for? I'm guessing you will need to make 2 separate flights ✈️ to and from no? Weighing my options here
@@lk-cd9fe Since posting this, I went to Cancun, they pulled 15 teath and 3 implants that were about 20 years old, and put in 4 implants on top and 6 on bottom. I immediately got a major infection in the upper plate, that an oral surgeon here in CA tried to treat, but said I might lose all the upper implants. It re-infected and the place in Cancun said to come back and they would treat it. I ended up going to the ER for IV antibiotics before I could fly back a few days later. The surgeon in Cancun said she didn't think the infection was deep, just in my gums, but scheduled me for surgery the following morning. I was massively infected. I lost all four Implants and a lot of tissue and bone. All the bone graft material was removed due to the infection. I will now need some reconstruction surgery just for a denture! Oh, and the oral surgeon here in CA said that they didn't shave my gums down enough and implante were not placed deep enough on both top and bottom. I have finally healed up, but have not had upper teeth since March. The temporary on the bottom sits up too high due to the alveoplasty not being done right. So, there are a lot of people that do this, and many are happy. But I've read horror stories now from people who went to Turkey too. The big drawbacks of going to another country are that you can't just get a quick appointment with the dental office, seeing that it's in another country. Also, I have no recourse. I can't sue them although I would like to. I missed 2 months of work. So I really wouldn't save any money if they tried again, which is their offer to me. I am not going to let them try again and I would like to discourage anyone else from going.
Thank you so much for this video! I've been looking into both of these procedures, and hadn't come across any info regarding the gum aesthetics you mentioned with the 3 on 6 so that's good to know. I already have a pretty gummy smile so I was worried about how the all on 4 would work since so much of my gums are already naturally visible when I smile...

My teeth r becoming a problem to my health
Supposedly the 3-on-6 also has a better/stronger biting force than the all-on-4. I was hoping that would be discussed some. Would that be a good trade-off for the gum issue?
Watch a video from Dr McFadden. It will tell you so much
Wish u were around my area I would come to you.. you seem to really ❤ care.. thank u blessings
Good morning do they have this treatment available in the uk or is it just in USA??? As I am really in need of this because my teeth are ruining my life
Hello can I ask then if you think it's better to have all on 4 implants? I thought it was all on 6 implants too but are you saying that if you have 6 implants that it has to be split between 3 bridges? Sorry for all the questions?
I never really see this discussed so I wanna ask. Do they shave your gums down to get the all on 4? I have this big insecurity right now with my upper dentures bc I show way too much gum and I never did before. All I wanna do is get my old smile back. Obviously without the issues I had. I feel like right now I went from one insecurity (bad teeth) to another (huge gums)
Yes this video has been very helpful as I'm learning to be knowledgeable about having implants installed soon. I'm a senior who has not been happy or felt comfortable for yrs with upper dentures (they look good) but can't taste food as well with palate covered..the snap on bridge below I've never been able to wear because it hurts so much. Just tired of dentist who take the money but don't care if you can even chew properly. So this time if I have to spend over 4K I'm looking for a reputable experienced caring dentist. Would like my self confidence and comfort back. Any recommendations in Macon, Ga. Thanks for valuable tips means a lot!
Hi Macy, I would get in contact with several, and compare what they say. I am sorry I cannot recommend anyone!
@@drgurssehmi Thank you very much!
very informed video, delivered in a calm clear way. 3 tooth ups!!
