I am sorry to hear the pain & suffering mentally & physically you went throught. I'm glad you persisted. Some doctors don't want to believe the patient!
VERY Helpfull, this is a very good and nicei implantologist dentist, his patients should be very thankfull for this doctor. Thanks for this very clear and honest explanation!
I need to make a decision in the next couple of days, and this video convinced me that I do NOT want to be a guinea pig for Zirconia. I need my decision to last for another 40 years. I don't need to replaced broken implants, neither!
Please read my comment on top. Stroemann is the best. Please refuse the other brands, like Noble BioCare. It doesn't have much of atrack record but it is cheaper for dentists and that's why they buy it - to save. However, the usually cost as much as Stroemann to the patients. I think you see the picture clearly.
Dr. Balogh, thank you so much for this wonderful video. I already have 5 implants. My oral surgeon used Stroemann implants in first 3 cases (##31, 30 ans 29) but now he completely switched to Noble Biocare. He installed Noble Biocare on tooth #4 (I believe it is made out of Zirconia Oxide, correct?) The implant on #4 seems fine but I am still uncomfortable with the crown because it went deeply into the gums which doesn't feel good. The second Noble Biocare implant was placed on #28 . After it was installed it actually looked too big for the spot, I thought that there was not enough bone to support it. Low and behold, I was right! The Implant on #28 came out completely in 3 weeks. Now I am doing research to find out which implant type is better for me. I feel that Stroemann would be better but my dentist doesn't use it anymore. I went for the second opinion and another oral surgeon told me that he would be using Korean implants (the name starts with an H). I am at crossroads and do not know what to do. Please advise!
Very thorough & "layman's term" explanation of zirconia vs titanium implants. Thank you very much. If there are useful updates, please post, since this video is about 4 years old.
Great video, what do you think of Straumann 2 piece Pure Ceramic which contains an abutment made of Titanium completely enrobed in Zirconia so it has the strength of Titanium without metal touching the gums or jaw? The screw is Titanium as well but Straumann says that also doesn't touch the gum tissue. I am replacing Molar Number 14, the big boy, and I am metal sensitive. Thank you
@@cgkuch4184 I ended up going with Nobel which was a mistake. The implant was OK at first but when the dentist screwed in the crown it started to hurt. It started to get better but then I got a constant pain that wouldn't go away and had to get the crown removed. The non metal screw was stripped by the dentist(don't listen to Nobel-the carbon screw is garbage) and the oral surgeon had to saw the crown off. It was a miserable experience. Straumann may have been a better move and always go with a dentist who is used to dealing with zirconia implants, that was my second mistake. The surgeon said the implant was looking fine when it was removed, if it wasn't for that damn screw I may have had a better outcome (and a dentist that has experience with them)
Can i go without implant? I heard the dr say titanium alloy has aluminium in it. Aluminium cause memory loss. I had my upper right molar extracted 2 years ago and i do not want implant because zirconia is not durable.
I learned a lot by listening to your explanations, much more in your video than from videos from other channels on the same subject. Thank you for taking the time. It is much appreciated.
It's been 3 years since this video was uploaded. I wonder if there has been any update on two-piece zirconium or using a zirconium abutment with a titanium implant?
Hi I enjoyed your blog explaining the effects of different metals used , I have some crowns that I have had for years but for a very long time I just want to pull them off ,I have a Nickle allergy and have found out the crowns are made of nickel I have contant headachs and ear infections and I have to see a consultant to find out why I have so much information in my joints , do you think it could have something to do with it , my doctor told me to see the dentist
Replace with traditional dental bridge. Put crown on the tooth holding the bridge. I have had my dental bridge for 15 years. It has been fine. They cost a lot less then implants. Between $400-$2.000. The idea that implants are the only way to replace teeth is false.
It's not that implants are the only way to replace teeth ... What matters is that when a tooth is missing in the teeth, its root is also gone. And in the long term, the lack of the root causes other teeth to fall out and become crooked at first. So replacing the root with an artificial root;, that is what implants do. That being said; Metal is a no go to have in your body, so Zirconium is a very justified preference for people. Increasingly in demand.@@angelaschaefer5883
@10:25 please explain the difference in response to plaque, gingival inflammation and bone re absorption, especially when it is difficult to clean around the post of the implant.
Vancouver prices compared to Toronto pricing now that’s a question! All on six - I would not do Zirconia on Zirconia, still to new.... I’d rather have the titanium with the Zirconia bridge
Thank you very informative. I'm currently going through bone grafting on my upper for a 4 on denture after my initial full implant denture failed due to procedure being done in 2014 with very little bone resulting in 2 of my 4 implants falling out "horrible experience". My implants were titanium 2 are still established with some bone left. I hope the bone drafting works but I have a 4 to 5 month healing process prior to replacement of the 2 missing implants I sure hope this works dentures just don't work for me due to serious reflex issues. I wish I could go Zirconia but my understanding is that they are very expensive..
The idea that there are multiple types of metal and also nickel or worse; lead is incorporated into the metal is worrying. It's not just about the stuff hitting your tooth bone or gums, but also the toxins that are released in the long term due to erosion. It can cause all kinds of diseases/conditions in your body. You should not want to. Zirconium is the way to do this. And if there is no better option or money, place a bridge but in the meantime save for an implant because missing the tooth root will cause your entire teeth to suffer in the long term.
i hate the dentist that gave me a root canal. put a cheap cerec porcelain crown on my molar. now i have a zirconia crown but it will probably have to be replaced. 🥺
Thank you for sharing this video, I do have a follow up question: near the end of the video you mentioned patient might want to snap dentures on implants, may I ask why? Isn’t patient just go pure denture or pure implant?
Thank you so much for your video. My dentist says that I need to have my two little front teeth removed because they have internal resorption. And she wants to put in zirconia implants. However you said that zirconia can’t be made too small. Is it possible to put zirconia implants in the front bottom tooth area? Also she’s an ambassador for the swiss dental solutions ambassador and trains people how to implant zirconia. She’s definitely only an advocate for zirconia. I just don’t know what to think because zirconia is so much more expensive. I also need one of my back teeth pulled that had a root canal and she says it needs to be extracted because it’s getting an infection. So I’m very conflicted about what to do. Any advice would help.
Dr Balogh, can the zirconia implants be used for only individual tooth implants or can they be used for either a removeable denture or the all on 4/all on 6 procedures that can replace a full arch of teeth? Further, can temporary teeth be worn in the healing phase prior to fitting of final teeth? Thanks.
Amazing....why would you even write this ? He said everything in the video. Yes it can be used for only individual tooth. Removeable denture dosent have IMPLANTS. All on 4-6 ? Yes you can use them but they have to be 4.5mm and titanium 3.0mm. Titanium is stronger. For that you need more bone. As i understand most people dont have problem with bottom jaw bone as its HUGE. Problem is with upper jaw bone. Specialy with older people... Or baddly extracted tooths. When they extracted my tooth they also put in bio celulosise to fill up whole and make recovery better. Also i got stiches an my bone will recover greatly. Im absolutly taking ceramic implant over titanum as titanium can mess up brain waves as any metal dose to electric waves

@@mariaquiros1982 Bridges last between 7-10 years. I had one made, it fell in 5 years. had it done again in the same spot. It fell in 10 years. Now I have implants and they work great. The problem is that jaw bones change shape with age, it s inevitable; so bridge is not a permanent solution. However implant is (if it doesn't fail in the first 2-3 weeks, it means you will have it for life! ) Just wanted to share my experience. If you would like to do your own research there are articles in Internet which confirm that bridge does not usually last beyond 10 years. dentists will not tell you that because they want you to pay for whatever you choose.
Does your ceramic zirconja lmplant is metal free? Do you buy zirconia implants from bio Swiss health? I have 7 titanium implant which make me ill. After I research that titanium alloy is made of aluminum, nickel, cadmium,lead, etc. I suggest you as a dentist must think of patient health. Stop using titanium Implant and switch to ceramic zirconia sds and learn their method? Titanium implant is made of toxic metal. You much study more and use metal free ceramic zirconia.
Same story with you! Non-biological dentists don't approve of this point but it seems there is a strong link between titanium dental implants (allergy or metal toxicity) and autoimmune disease start. Titanium alloys toxins are closely associated with the neuroendocrine system, or itching or urticaria problems. I wish I knew this before. Have you removed your titanium dental implants?
I have 3 Titanium implants in my mouth (Stroemann brand). Just had a Zirconia one installed about a month ago, and it failed (completely came out) in 3 weeks!! I think that it is important to know all the pros and cons of both brands. Zirconia implants are not flexible in terms of angle of placement, and don't come in sizes smaller than 4,1 inches. Mine was too bog for the spot. Now my dentist wants to install the same type of implant into the same spot again. Hmm...
How are you doing? Did they implant on the same spot with Zirkonium? Didn't they first do a blood test? My dentist wants vitamine D test firsts...@@soniastjules

I agree! I’m in the Cleveland Ohio area (Avon) going to have to fillings on Tuesday but been holding off on the titanium implant. I’m going to ask if they can recommend someone who can do zirconium in the Cleveland area, nothing really comes up on google and when I go to individual dentists websites they all seem to only mention titanium.

It's weird that so many holistic dentists claim that titanium implants are associated with inflammation while so many other dentists said titanium implants are completely safe because the immune system doesn't recognize its existence. Who is right?
Alloy....titanium a "Alloys" arent required to list specific materials making up the alloy and the alloys often contain nickle most people are sensitive to among other things
Perfect question! Non-biological dentists don't approve of this point but it seems there is a strong link between titanium dental implants (allergy or metal toxicity) and autoimmune disease start. Titanium alloys toxins are closely associated with the neuroendocrine system, or itching or urticaria problems. There are so many high-ranking academic articles on this topic (please search "Allergic contact dermatitis caused by titanium screws and dental implants"; "Metal allergy patient treated by titanium implant denture: A case report with at least 4-year follow-up", "Zirconium Implant as an Alternative to Titanium Implant in a Case of Type IV Titanium Allergy: Case Report"). I wish I knew this before.
Titanium dental implant REMOVAL is becoming more and more necessary, in my amateur opinion (but I do have a titanium implant )... I bet it will continue to become a pressing demand

It's weird that so many holistic dentists claim that titanium implants are associated with inflammation while so many other dentists said titanium implants are completely safe because the immune system doesn't recognize its existence. Who is right?
Whoever is mainstream well they are never right.
Alloy....titanium a
"Alloys" arent required to list specific materials making up the alloy and the alloys often contain nickle most people are sensitive to among other things
Perfect question!
Non-biological dentists don't approve of this point but it seems there is a strong link between titanium dental implants (allergy or metal toxicity) and autoimmune disease start. Titanium alloys toxins are closely associated with the neuroendocrine system, or itching or urticaria problems.
There are so many high-ranking academic articles on this topic (please search "Allergic contact dermatitis caused by titanium screws and dental implants"; "Metal allergy patient treated by titanium implant denture: A case report with at least 4-year follow-up", "Zirconium Implant as an Alternative to Titanium Implant in a Case of Type IV Titanium Allergy: Case Report").
I wish I knew this before.
Titanium dental implant REMOVAL is becoming more and more necessary, in my amateur opinion (but I do have a titanium implant )... I bet it will continue to become a pressing demand
@ank6043 Thanks for your informative post. I've a root canal that I wish to replace and I'm contemplating going the ceramic route.
There is nickel in most titanium implants
Ceramic breaks titanium don't. Last thing I want is bunch of cracked ceramic stuck in me.
I’m more confused than ever now!!!! Zirconia $7000 more and may not be any better than titanium.
Honey go to Bucharest romania it's great way way cheaper
@@nataliemeenakshithegreat7780 thanks for the tip
Dentists buy Zirconia for less but the patients pay the same as for Titanium. That is the answer.
@@soniastjules my actual teeth where lazered out of a block of zerconia
yeah but when you have problems with the teeth, your own dentist in our own country will not help... impossible. to fix foreign material etc.@@nataliemeenakshithegreat7780
I am not your patient.
