- Dental implants are marketed with the promise to change your smile and provide a new sense of self-confidence, but as implants surge in popularity, so do injuries. Last year alone, reports of problems with dental implants reached nearly a half million.
I think I will pass on implants. This is scary..omgosh
Go to a perio specialist.
WOW!! What's even more stunning is how the agencies and professional groups responded...or didn't. Just wow.
I'm not asking them jack cause they won't see my mouth or my money💯 Thank yall for the warning saved my life on this one
What they didn’t mention is how common it is for the screw that fastens the tooth crown to the implant post to come loose and have to be retightened through your life. Just more of an inconvenience than anything, but with a small financial cost each time. Additionally the screw can only be retightened 2 to 3 times before it must be replaced in order to prevent possibility of the screw breaking.
Screw is manufactured to be tightened once. The threads stretch under the torque into the implant body. 65% of dental implants have complications over time, including prosthetic and integration problems to the bone.
@@LKR-vt9uf how do you know this spec? Do you have link to info on it ?
Not with a good implant Ken. Unfortunately, you didn't know to ask the right questions beforehand.
@@Jacksonabean The way it was described to me by multiple doctors is that implants are put in to match the natural direction of the roots of your teeth. In my case it’s an angle that causes a cantilever effect with the tooth and the implant post. Over time the downward pressure of the opposing tooth loosens it.
@@keningilbert You're exactly right Ken. If you have a cantilever from a long crown or bone loss (think vertical cantilever) then you can get screw loosening. Can you tell me the model of your dental implant if you care to? There are implants which we hand tighten and they never need tightening again. Those are implants with a deep conical, morse taper connection. The implants literally cold weld to the abutment in most cases but these aren't typical questions asked by the patient but things are changing. If you can, have them remove any contact that's not centered over the implant itself (very situation specific) or use some good ol' loctite. I've used brands in the past that this is common and now luckily, this doesn't exist in my office. Best of luck Ken and yes, implants should always be directed toward the opposing dentition which is the direction of force. Take care, JB.
I have had three implants. One failed at day one, when the crown was installed, one failed after about 18 months and one is still hanging in there at the 6 year mark. The two failures were done by two different dentists. the one that is lasting was done by an accredited oral surgeon.
How about looking into holding the dentists accountable for the failed work!!!! ???? This blatant medical malpractice!!
Dentist make you sign that you cant sued them for any reason.
@@um8440 And they should not be allowed to do that
Where I live, it is really tough to win a medical injury lawsuit ... so the lawyers will only take easy ones like leaving forcepts inside a person and where the person died can they can sue for really big bucks.
If you are a contractor of a dentist in any form(plumber, electrician ect.). Recoup some funds for the injured in your bidding and billing practices.
I think 'dental' insurance should fall under 'medical'... no good reason especially when the industry/dental providers are geared towards 'crown$, veneer$, implants$$$... COLLABORATION is insisted upon, demanded in the health marketplace.. I have found useful 'dental' advice from my general practitioner, nutritionists, blood work labs, periodontists, etc. In the dental industry, as I would argue because to some extent of dental insurance, separate, independent... they never collaborate, only compete... and things like this happen, like the separate 'maude' databases that has NOW come to light, confusion amongst consumers, and myopic proprietary concerns from impetuous surgeries. Get rid of dental insurance...put dental hygenists in charge... collaborate with orthodontists and periodontists. Introduce your Dentist to your other Doctors, ... whether they like it or not. If they're not willing to collaborate, ditch 'em... crowns & veneers come and go
God Bless you Kris Pickel!!! this needs to be picked up by national news outlets
Remember pain is another issue with these implants. If you don;;t have dense bone they can be painful months after implantation. If it were me I would stick with dentures or leaving the teeth as is.
Dentures? No Way. I am not covering my palate
I agree.dentures it is.and if the implants fail and you got all on 4 it's hard to go back to regular dentures cause they already chopped off half your jaw bone.just 😢 sad
@@tesathompson35 living with a huge piece of plastic in your mouth isn't exactly a good thing. The chronic sores. The constant shifting. Can't enjoy food. Not to mention severe bone loss
I had ten implants with two fixed bridges done overseas for a fraction of what those rip of crooked American dentist charge and I've never needed any adjustments at all. I was quoted 75,000 or more in the USA and got it done in south America for under 10k. American dentist have been ripping off Americans for way to long. Dental tourism is fascinating
Where did you go? Did you go through a company or on your own?
You would think these dentist would take pride in their work, and make sure they have the proper training in order to perform this type of surgery. Once again it's about the almighty dollar and everyone wants to get on board with no mercy with their patients. Very sad.
I agree with you it's hard to find a good honest experienced doctor.I have to think twice before doing implant.
BEWARE many dentists claim that implants last many years , that's so untrue, research them before you lose your teeth and money
They are supposed to make sure the gums are strong enough for them and that you not rejecting the material their putting in the gums bro they messed up that women's mouth , Thank you because like I said I was about to consider it but because of this broadcast I will never do it💯
Thank you for this story! I just had two implants done two weeks ago. I trust my doctor and hope for the best!
Trust nobody , dental implant is shady industry . I already went through 6 implants from multiple crooks during 15 years period. The best thing to do is learn about it and caught them crooks being shady
updte?
Can you update your status ❓❓
how did it go?
I trusted my dentist he was a liar , the lab was good , but the dentist was not
Greed
I wish I had known this before, I am having serious problems with dental implants .
Hi Carmen Did u remove your implamrds?
like what?
trust me you are not alone , my dentist was the worse, now my problems are starting
Oh no what problems are you having.
Omg I'm not getting them now I was interested but I'm good. I don't like surgeries anyway never had none never want any and I'm definitely not about to pay for somebody to mess up my face an my mouth and my jaw bone they got life messed up they out there practicing on people mouth and life that's a hard No 👎 💯
This is a shame. All ppl want is to look decent and feel well..this is scary.
Friends who have dentures love them - no issues , no problems. My business partner says best decision he ever made.
Since no one else included this information, the database they referred to is MAUDE - Manufacturer And User Facility Device Experience. The second one is Device Events.
So are you going to asia to get them implants? Im planing to go there to get it, korea, thailand or vietnam.
@@um8440 wherever you go, implants have their own risks and needs good care or they fail
They only do a weekend class on dental implants or a seminar
My wife had 5 implants 6 years ago , last year one was loosen and had to be extracted , this year so far 2 more were extracted . The dentist said that these implant failed because of the bone loss ,not his fault . WE will never do implant any more
Well. I'm not going to get implants for the few missing teeth I have. Not worth it.
Use tic tacs. JB weld them and you're welcome 😎
@@Epiz76 Oh Sheesh. Hopefully no one takes that seriously. People are just dumb enough to do so. Having sugar glued to your gum.
As a person who had a missing tooth...I considered all possibilities.my most brilliant idea was using shells.
It's not a "screw-like device"; it's an actual screw.
I don’t understand why one just wouldn’t use poligrip And get metal screwed into your jaw instead?
You asked "local experts" that are far from experts. How did you choose these guys? Because they have a "school?" This implant is probably angled too far.... OMG. Really? You must have AT LEAST 2 mm of buccal bone. This is basic knowledge. Ask the director of the periodontics department at the school and at least you'll be getting somewhere. Not two guys in a denture clinic. I'm sure these guys are great at what they do but let's please not use the word "expert." That conveys a level of knowledge lacking in this video.
And how exactly where they supposed to choose commentators?
thats the problem with the whole dentistry vocation , its like the wild west and there is no one way all dentists are regulated to do anything so nobody is a expert any more than the other guy is . all the public can do is choose a dentist based on good references that they feel they can trust and do as much research on dental procedures and treatments and risks as possible .
It's guys like these who are running dozens of so-called dental "institutes" that are putting on weekend courses in implant dentistry, advanced prosthodontics, TMD therapy, etc who are directly responsible for giving under qualified dentists the confidence to even attempt these advanced full mouth rehabilitation cases.
The dental implant procedure traumatized me. I have not felt comfortable since my oral surgeon if that's what he deserves to be called, put an implant in my #8 last month. I have been complaining about his lack of professionalism since and low and behold, today it fell out of my mouth (in tact). My "stitches" on implant site started to dissolved yesterday and this morning the implant fell out of my mouth. I am assuming the stitches were the only thing keeping the implant in my gum. It's Sunday so I have to wait a day to been seen. The company (24/7 operator) is not treating this as a dire emergency by any means. My mouth actually feels better. I don't think I was a good fit for an implant. I do envy people with two front teeth however. My goal now is to avoid paying more than what I put down for the deposit. I am holding the dentist partially responsible until I have the post surgery x-ray examined by a second party. Please let me know what you had to do after your implant fell out of your mouth. Good luck.
sadly I lost few implants because they were not done right, and the lousy dentist claimed the mouth rejected them , i should of tried to sue , too late now
Hello, glad I saw your reply. Okay, I am still toothless up front. Turns out I did not have bone in my jaw and the implant should not have been offered and/or applied at the time it was. I sent a complaint to the California Dental Board and of course they sided with the dentist. He was culpable as well as Western Dental. I think Western Dental could be sued (class action) but it will take the right plaintiff and the right attorney. They sent my debt to collections and as far as I am concerned, they owe me $1500 deposit. The dentist(s) should not be able to say "your mouth rejected them" unless they did due diligence. In my case, they definitely did not. *I recommend a fake tooth that cost 10 bucks off of Amazon. It works for my missing #8. It fits better than my partial bridge did. Peace out.@@loveSAVE-e7k
Never, EVER allow a general dentist to place an implant. No it doesn’t matter that they went to a CE course. NO. Please trust me on this, I have worked in this field for 10 years, early on I spent 3 of those years working for an egotistical general dentist who thought he could do it all. He went to one implant course and thought he was a master. Even after a 90% fail rate on all of his cases, he still kept the same smug attitude and kept placing implants and he is allowed to do that. No one got any money back because they signed the dotted line. Please do your research and only see those who specialize in the field, preferably someone who is recommended to you by a trusted source.
I feel glad, I went a regular dentist to do treatment and two implant. I asked what kind material they use for bone craft, folks tried skip my question, I demanded the answer. When they told me about the material, I said no. I will pay for what I want not for what you have in hands. Because of one question I was safe from a big mistake. I left this dentist and found a great, oral surgeon to do the job. People don't know, but it need lot research to find the right professional. Don't go to cheap one, unless they has hundred success in this procedure.
My dentist said he would not do my extraction because I needed a bone graft and sinus lift. Much respect for doctors and dentists who say they don't have the skill needed for the patient. Dentist referred me to a maxillofacial surgeon, dentist, cosmetic surgeon combo doc for procedure. I must now wait 6 months for the next step. People really need to research who they go for medical procedures. Even Google reviews is helpful and a good place to start.
As a medical doctor I did much research on implants as I thought I may need one. Recall a European/Scandinavian study that found comparable results between properly trained general dentists and specialists. Implants are a very lucrative procedure and it is possible some will place profit over attaining required competency first. Some outspoken dentists have even commented that an implant is just a piece of titanium and should not cost so much. Luckily there is strong competition coming from Israel and Europe offering fair realistic pricing and including zirconia.
Never let a general dentist do anything but clean, fill or crown a tooth. They can do non surgical extractions too, but think more than twice about that you want an implant after rather than dentures or a bridge. General dentists shouldn't be allowed to offer things like invisalign or implants. They're in over their heads and doing it for the money. I remember when only specialists would do implants, and they would be very selective about candidates. No smokers. No 80+ year olds with massive health problems. I hate what dentistry has been allowed to become.
very ignorant statement. I don't even place implants, but there are some very competent GP's that I would trust waaay more than some specialists. I do agree that far too many GP's take a weekend course and then take on cases that they have no business doing...............but that is a whole other conversation.
Sadly, the patient doesn’t know what’s happening,why they are having health issues, dental pain, a lot of dentist goes through these week long course by another dentist and then go back to their office and start putting in implants. There’s a clinic that uses recovering drug addiction patients to give doctors clinical training,that are paying 10 grand for this course. So, these patients don’t have a clue who is putting in implants while they are sedated. Most of the procedures are for implants for dentures, and these patients end up waiting over a year up to 18 months waiting for permanent dentures. I went for a consultation and it was to sketchy and they quoted me 11 grand for full mouth dental implants.
Not a surprise, most dentist are winging it.
Wow, looking at the woman's mouth with the issues shows her dentist was an idiot! She needs to get an attorney ... sad to say here in the US that is about the way to get change is by suing for large amounts of money ...
I have an implant supported denture. I had to wear a denture over the implants for 90 days post implant surgery and I think that made my implants integrate into my bone so well. My implants have never had to be tightened, I broke my denture and had to purchase a new one and they had to change the position of the abutment but the implants are a part of my bone. I think it could be a lot of the time the instant gratification, the placing of the implants and loading the implants with the weight of the teeth immediately that could be part of the problem. I do feel the fact that my implants were not loaded for 90 days is what made them become a part of me so well.
@ Ann Ramsey
Where did you get your implants done?
@@1972achin Dallas Texas. Dr. Almasari. Believe it was called Fast New Smile.
How much did it cost you? Implants need cleaning too just like we do with our natural teeth I don't know how you when you have denture over implant.
@@mariorico440 I use a water pick, toothbrush and toothpaste, and yellow Listerine. I have had it taken off and cleaned a couple of times & it cost $200 each time because I lived in a different state each time. I have never had my screws tightened it has never been necessary. It cost $20,000 for the initial treatment but that did cover everything the implants, the dentures, & all the office visits. I got the money from a second mortgage on my house & it took 6 years to pay off the mortgage. I have had to save for cleanings & emergencies happen like cars breaking down etc, and that's why I have only had 2 cleanings in all these years. Also the reason I recommend the snap on kind because those you can take off & clean yourself & buy spare washers for. It is somewhat less expensive for the initial service & more affordable proper daily care for the average working class person.
No, wearing a denture over the implants (while healing) will give them a higher chance of NOT integrating, bc of the occlusal load placed on the implants.
WOW 😳😱. That's a Full of BS in dentistry industry 👎👎👎
😲 Thank-You!
I Must get All New Teeth.

I haven't even Started Researching Dental Implants. Your Investigative Report is Perfect Timing for me. I've only been Saving the Thousands of Dollars in a RSA I expect to Pay wondering How Much Excellent Work will be.
Teresa.... Ask to speak to patients that have had the exact procedure done years prior.
@@Jacksonabean How would she find patients who did the procedure years ago?
I'm concerned about implant screws from China that look like standard wood screw thread. They are listed as titanium but look like stainless . I saw Them as cheap as $3 . They say FDA approved but I found out many electrical items that have a CE approval stickers are not Certified but instead China claims it stands for China export
Where'd you see them??
How about exposing dentists who ruin well-insured children's teeth? Because that's what happened to me. My mom was too in infatuated and trusting of the psychopathic, blue eyed dentist to realize what he was doing. She still blames it on me, saying I didn't take care of my teeth. Yet I had a mouthful of symmetrical fillings, and two gold crowns in the back by the time I was 18. Thanks doc, you ruined my adulthood and did god knows what with that mouthful of metal you replaced perfectly good bone with.
How did it effect your adult teeth?
@@riniramirez6818 They were my adult teeth. He ruined my permanent teeth. I have decay on a tooth that started at least 20 years ago after I stopped going to dentists, it's still perfectly viable.
@@pearlmax YOu idio-t mom was trying to screw him and get child support from him.
@@pearlmax You mention children's teeth. You got this procedure as an adult. These procedures are painful.
It's very important to note that not everyone is a candidate (as this video states). But yes, where is the problem; is it the clinician, the patient?
Yes, and so many do not know what they are doing, bad dentistry is out there
Metal should NOT go into the mouth. Put ur HEALTH over ur Vanity
What are you going to do if you have missing teeth?
There are others material besides titanium.
Dentures for my missing teeth.
I have implants so I can chew food. Has nothing to do with vanity.
@@Phil_529 this video was saying the implants were destroying this ladies health. My point was metal should not be drilled into your body and into your bone like that which obviously this ladies health is a testament that it’s not healthy to do that it would’ve been much more healthy to just simply use dentures and if necessary, you know, modify your diet a little bit, but with dentures, you can eat most everything, not everything but most things
general dentistry is filling simple cavities , not implants
But general dentists are doing it anyway.
👍Thanks...Yes , ...perhaps dentists can warn you about the failure of implants , but never of the highly possible periimplantitis and the future bone lost that can be coming sooner or later...unfortunately .....God save us🙏
🦷this is frightening.
A major part of the problem is the Arizona Dental Board, whose salary is paid from dental license fees creating an immediate conflict of interest, even in the most egregious cases votes no harm. One Board member in the September/December meeting tapes when it was suggested a license be suspended objected "now wait, these our our friends and colleagues." The mission is to protect the public. The Board should be honest about their mission or forced to do their jobs. Enforcement is not a priority with the administration. This is the across the board story to talk about. There is no redress for those you are exposing were hurt.
i was going to get implants after watching this no thanks !
Me too I was thinking of getting implant but I lost trust the doctors. Believe me I being to different dentists and each one says different stories. Always make sure that a dentist has many years of experience before you doing something.
@@mariorico440 yep i agree with you ..
Dentists without the necessary training shoulder some blame, but so do patients that don't take care of the implant. You need to get them cleaned 3-4x/year, you can't smoke, need to brush and floss 2x/day, diabetes needs to be controlled, and much more.
States & Congress need to pass new laws with detailed guidelines to regulate this BIL$$ cash cow. That’s ONLY way harmed patient/ victim can have any legal remedy, esp great fortune spent on implants & repairing health.
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE DENTAL OFFICE IN THIS NEWS INVESTIGATION?
The experts here are a general dentist and prosthodontist.
These are not surgical specialties. This probably confuses the public even more when a news report doesn’t select dentists who have a surgical specialty behind their name.
That being said look for any type of dentist who has an ABOI or AAID board certified credential behind their name.
Legally this is the only credential that allows any dentist to call him or herself a board certified implant dentist.
I am having both jaws done because my present teeth are a mess. I have no choice but to take my chances.
I hope everything turns out great for you.
Excellent Reporting 👌👍👍👍👍!!!
Moral character and Good Ethics are Not..... requirements to where a white coat. We get this when we go to a car dealership or mechanic shop.
These dentist are profiting quadruple the amount, especially when the cost of implants range from 80 dollars to 300 per metal implant, and a small amount to have someone come in to perform sedation to these patients. It’s really sad how someone creates a procedure that can change your life, but make it so un-affordable for most because they can. You can have pretty much your whole body reconstructed for what they charge for one procedure.
Shoutout to Brian Harris in Auburn CA. Costs a little more but worth it compared to cheaper implants I've gotten.
oh, they will blame the patient, of course!! this is one reason why i declined the dentists offer to recommend implants. another reason is because the dentist is unable to make me a denture that FITS AND WORKS.....why would i trust him to do implants?!?!?!
I just had a filling fall out of a premolar.. and I went to two dentists who said I needed a Root Canal procedure, and then I went to a HOLISTIC dentist, and he said he can save the tooth by doing Pulp Capping... Don't get a root canal ! and get a partial instead of implants or bridges if you have to pull it !! to hel* with root canals and Invasive dentistry ($$$$) .. God bless
I do not get how people use malpractice as a reason not to get implants.
There are many success stories. But you need to see a specialist, not some dentists that seldomly practices to implant or lack the proper education. The standard US dental education does not include enough information or practice to implant. This is something the doctor has to learn separately.
This is insane, how else can we trust other dentist? and they even charge a hefty amount...why can't they innovate their practice? its the 2024 already everybody is using ai or things i heard there's an ai for the dental industry.
ofc there must be many ai for dental but do you know a chatbot that gives accurate clinical responses ?
@@hafsasout5689 You can check out an ai named kriss ai hopefully it will be helpful.

How do you remove an implant that's osseointegrated?
American GREED
Very conflicting from the other dental implant video you posted. There are such things as early loss and late losses in dental implants which are required to be reported to the FDA. Early loss are almost always an injury and late losses could result in an injury as well. The 2% of device malfunctions is very different from the figure you posted in the last video, claiming 88% of dental implants fail. With a 2% device malfunction rate, longitudinally that just wouldn't make sense. Also, unless it's an injury, that wouldn't be an adverse event! It's very common (1/20) for patients to have SDR (Same day removals) for the implant which is misleading if you don't say that because it suggests it could just randomly fall out at any given time. Simply not true and disingenuous reporting.

Can somebody explain what went wrong with her particular procedure?
It is metal sensitivity that ruined her health. I saw a report about her long time ago. The before and after pictures are very striking. While the metal implant is called titanium but most are alloy with many types of metals inside. These all on 4 and all on 6 implants are risky and involve long term maintenance that is very expensive and troublesome. Of course, there is no good alternative. Denture doesn't work as well as implants in chewing efficiency.
