Why Payment Plans Hurt ALL-ON-4 Implant Success

- Dr. H responds to a question asked today in consultation. Why Dream stopped doing partial payment plans and requires payment in full or a third party escrow to ensure funds are available once the healing phase is complete.
Ok, so as a denture wearing person I have input. The day I went into debt for my teeth was the worst day of my life! I was born with soft enamel on my teeth, my life choices weren't the best or wisest and effected my teeth as well. I took care of them as best I could growing up, middle low class house hold so we didn't have money to fix things when I was little. As an adult I lost several teeth over a period of time from stupid stuff, eating pb&j, chips, bite of apple, all took its tole. Eventually ending with me getting all of my lower and top teeth pulled. I know the sunk in look, I feel the late night hours of doing things in the dark so no one sees me, I hide still with dentures in. I to this day have my Temps due to the high costs of getting things repaired or replaced. I do my own fittings at home with a Dremel tool. Single income, 3 kids and they come first. Haven't tasted food in 6yr plus, we all do what we have to, but I can tell you if it was more affordable people would be able to help themselves. Not complaining just a statement, I am sure you do a great job and have excellent workmanship, but dentist have exploited your mouth. As you said in the end, it's about quality of life right, well I am happy and healthy and my family is too, I suffer silently in the dark because the cost of your "quality" life style isn't meant for everyone I guess 😉. We all do what we have to
That's life; most people have limited financial freedom. Make no mistake, you usually get what you pay for and you usually reap what you sow.
@@meowymeow282 great "advice"🙄
Same
@@meowymeow282I didn’t do anything thing wrong to get the lousy teeth I was born with!
plus some dental people are not honest scrupulous. and he had nerve to say PEOPLE SELL THEIR THINGS, ETC., all for dentist gouging. they don't need one patient to pay for their house.
I hear ya doc, in regard to the reason you no longer do surgeries until the patient has the full balance. But, hear me out…I as well as others would love to know what the actual material cost is to a dentist that does this work. I know you have your own lab, so for you it’s all about materials. Labor costs would vary from market to market but material costs are the same across the board.
Now, having said that I know you’re not going to give those details. But, from a patients point of view the jump from actual material costs+labor to the price most implant dental centers charge is absolutely astronomical!
Going a step further, if your average case is $50k you have to understand and realize that the average American doesn’t make that much in an entire year! Let alone have enough in the bank to afford this procedure.
You’re essentially clearing more in ONE day from ONE surgery than the average American will earn in 12 months. That’s staggering. And, it’s also the reason so many people will never be able to afford this procedure. I can only imagine how many patients you’d see in a year if your average cost was half that. My guess is, you’d be booked out a year or more in your schedule.
These surgeries are being done every day in other countries for literally a fraction of what american dentists charge. It’s why dental tourism exists. When two people can go to Cancun, have the procedure, stay for two weeks making a vacation out of it, and come home having spent half of what they would have in America, somethings wrong.
And yes, I know the surgery is life changing for those who need it. I don’t doubt that for a minute. And of course they will feel it’s money well spent. But, when american dentists know that people are mortgaging their homes, selling vehicles, working three jobs, taking out loans with outrageous interest rates, and going deep into debt just so they can EAT and SMILE, it has to feel a little bit wrong deep down in your soul knowing what someone has had to sacrifice for the procedure.
Please understand, we know dentists have to put food on their tables, pay bills and want to afford some fun things in life, too. But, I can honestly say I couldn’t work in a profession where I’m asking someone to mortgage their life, just so they can eat again.
I’ll never live to see this day, but I hope in the future a day comes where some dentists, some place in America, see the absolute crisis right in front of them and treats it as such, at a fair and reasonable price.
BEST comment I have ever read in any of these videos. Thank you!🙏👏👏👏
@@JoshG1234 its it's still too expensive.
Period.
You know what’s crazy the all on4 is supposed to save money because it’s only 4 implants right ? So my question is why the hell has it gotten to be almost $60k for two arches? One individual dental implant cost like $3500 at the most that’s like 35000 for the top of just individual implants ! So your telling me you only get a $10,000 discount now per arch !? The top arch should typically only cost $15000 $30,000 for top and bottom. They have seriously conned people they are making double the money now. Why not just get Individual implants for this price !
I Pais 35000 total at Aria dental here in Phoenix they let me finance 20000 and paid the other 15000 6months later or I believe 9 months any way they were understanding
I went to Istanbul and got them done for just under $7,000 top and bottom that included the bone graft the sinus lift the 3D scan and they had a beautiful office better than the ones in USA they had 12 actors from USA that went there I got Titanium, Straumann Dental Implants
done with no acrylic gums!!!! you don’t want acrylic gums because it gets food underneath it turns out bad I saved 50,000 they use the same product or better!!
Can you tell me where you went in instanbul ? And also it's been a yr are you still loving what you had done . And where do you go for you dental appointment here in the states.
Yay !! Someone's done their homework....you're one in a thousand. Hardly anyone knows or is informed by the clowns that market All-on-4 procedures about the removal of jawbone and gums....as if it's nothing to discuss. Thanks for speaking up !
Hei Doc,i am an oral surgeon from Norway,i bump into your videos ancidentatly on youtube,i think i rewatched your surgical videos 3 times each.Great protocols you have and great team.I can tell you that i learned somethibg from your videos,even from this.Thanks.P.s please continue posting some loooooooong surgical videos:)🤣
Thanks brother, That means a lot coming from a fellow surgeon. I will keep posting… Thank you for commenting and watching!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's also important to acknowledge if a patient values our work, he or she we have a better appreciation for their own prosthesis.
My situation is different...I HAVE PAID IN FULL...BUT THE DENTIST JUST CANT GET ANYTHING RIGHT...IM STILL IN TEMPS A YEAR PLUS LATER...AND NOW I DONT WANT TO PROCEDE ANY FUTHER..SEEKING A REFUND FOR THE WORK THAT HASNT BEEN COMPLETED...HAVING A ROUGH TIME...BUT IM HEADING TO COURT...TO RECOUP FUNDS!
Watching this as a chew popcorn with my temps I had for over a year. 😕 thanks for keeping it real.
Your so sweet!❤️ I just decided I needed some quality time with my Queen and kiddos. Thank you fir the kind words. - Dr.H
Guys unless you save 40k cash on the low end your not getting all on 4 top and bottom period iv done multiple consultation I dont need extra work done ima easier case according to the clinics so start saving hard.
I can see where you’re coming from Dr. Hendricks. So many people have the best intentions, but then things…life happens. Thank you for commenting on my last video I watched of yours about my epilepsy. The surgeons were even amazed the day of surgery how bad my tongue had been bitten over the years from all the grand mal seizures. That’s how I broke my front tooth out, I fell straight forward on a cement floor with a seizure. When the Dr’s at IU Dental Center realized all my medical issues and I told them years ago a dentist was filling a tooth and I went into a seizure during this. He had to end up having several stitches in his finger because I bit down so hard. I was in my 20’s. But when I woke up from the seizure and found out what I did, I cried and cried. But the Dentist came over and talked to me and said it was “nothing” and soothed my fears. He was the nicest dentist, reminds me a lot like you. So when they do my implants it’s gonna be in the hospital under general anesthesia just like when they extracted my teeth. May I send you a before and after picture of myself ….before implants, after implants? Blessings to you always in the beautiful country of Utah. Mrs. Debbie Feighner/ Fort Wayne, Indiana
Dr. H, I just came across your video and it's wonderful to hear you speak on this type of issues and more. Great job, honesty is the best policy when it comes to sharing. Keep up the good work and never lost faith.
Thank you Ed! Thanks for watching.
I’m in the process now ( 4 weeks) since having 6 implants placed. (Full upper) Have temporary teeth for show…. My dentist is amazing.
I have been hiding from friends and family because I feel embarrassed for having to do this at 51. I hope in time I’ll gain confidence.
Next year I have to do the lowers.
What state do you live in
I love that you care. My temps suck and i wish i could of come to you. Im 2 months in. Im ready for the finish line.
As for the "Change your Life Statement" I have often wounded how many times I wasn't given opportunities or respect because of the way my teeth look.
It is unsettling to think about the “what if’s, or what could haves..” Unfortunately people do judge by first appearances… we would love to meet you one day!
I’m not gonna lie I’m at the beginning of my journey trying to work out budget and finances. But wow… you gave a very powerful message I truly honestly appreciate that from the bottom of my heart. I’ve lived many years being ashamed and having paralyzing fear to do anything about it. Thank you for being so caring not judging. Wish I wasn’t so far away I’d so come to your practice. Coming out there just isn’t in my cards. But thank you for what you do and your compassion.
Thank you Jenny! That means the world to me! I would love to meet you, but if not possible, I wish you the best. Thanks for watching!
Man everything u said around the 9 min mark about the "imagine" is on point cause I imagine that everyday.. And the statements around the end are so true. The quality of life is gona be night n day when I'm able to sit in ur chair.. I'm in Philadelphia pa and talked to one of ur employees and tried to set a day to come out but it just didn't work out yet.. I'm gona call tomoro and make it a priority to get out to u within the next couple of weeks the passion u have for ur patients shows in every video u make
And I guarantee more than half of the negative comments are comin from people who don't need the surgery so they think there comment matters
What's the rough estimate?
Thanks Sean! We can’t wait to meet you!
But with cars you can make smaller payments. I’ve bought a new car with smaller payments because I couldn’t afford a one lump sum for a less expensive older vehicle…
So happy to see you’re back uploading Doc. Where have you been? 🥲 I’ve missed your wonderful uploads so much & hope to see you uploading more soon. I hope all is well🙏🏼
Thanks Renee, we hope to start posting more! I’ve missed doing them too! Thanks for watching!
Doc is speaking from his heart and he really do care I feel it in my spirit man (nothing spooky) as I listen to him now and in the pass. I live in Atlanta, GA and will be traveling soon to have him to do the complete implants I desire to have. There will be no haggling because he is one rare, gifted, & honest doctor. He is not out to just take your money but to help you be a better you @ a great fare price in the doing so. I have not been compensated to say what you read. In fact I’ve Never spoke to the doctor, I follow him on TH-cam. Nuff Said. GBU Doc & I Will see you soon. I’ve done my homework.👌
Your words hit me deep in my heart. No words .....🙏 Just Tears of gratitude❤️
My thoughts exactly I couldn't have said it better...I will be investing in myself very soon just signed up for a consultation. I live in cali and don't mine traveling this is for me and self love is the best love. hope to see you soon Doc. this is someone else computer but I'm commented any way I'm Patricia Jones if you see my request for consultation.
Hopefully you went to mexico and paid half. American dentist are fucking out their mind.
I’ll be sure to take care of the finances and scrape everything together so my husband can come to you, paying everything in FULL 🙏💕💯😍🙌 Thank you so much!!
We are excited to meet him. Let us know when he is ready to come in for his consultation.
Yuo are a good man blessed whit enormes talent very caring
Thank YOU so much! That means a lot to me!
I’m a dentist and I agree with every word you said especially the bargaining patients and the vibes that come along with them
Thank you! I want to help everyone and give everyone a special deal but often this brings painful experiences that often leave scars.
Who cares
Yeah cause why would you (a board certified “healthcare provider”) give a shit about easing someone’s pain. Good thing all you got out of this was vibes of “poor” people.
Remember how much money doctors were losing by everyone going to turkey for hair transplants so they lowered prices. Just go to Mexico people. It's half or less and you get a great vacation out of it.
I live in Las Vegas and have been trying to find a dentist worth going to for this. I've watched several videos on TH-cam and one day I came across 1 of your videos. Now I am determined to get into your office! Although I am not financially ready to come in at this moment, I am taking the steps to get there. Try and remember this name (Margy Hopson) , hopefully within the next year or so - fingers crossed 🤞 it's not longer, I'll be in to see you! Until then, I'll be here watching all of your videos and saving all my money 💰 haha. ✌ 💛
We can’t wait to meet you Margy Hopson
I am 73; I can clearly remember my grand farther wearing the same kind of dentures that I recently was sold, and this dates dental the technology close to one hundred years old. Before Penicillin in 1928.
You offer a more up to date Product.
However If In the past it seem like charged 25% more than you knew they could afford.
I appreciate your honesty, I am working on coming to have the all on 4 done, getting close to making my first appointment. See you soon.
I used to care about what I look like or how gross my teeth look or how embarrassed I am for my kid to see my mouth, but I no longer have that luxury.. I don’t care at all what I look like or what people think of me, yeah it’d be nice to not have to worry about that but my main concern is the excruciating pain I live with every day of my life.. I’ve never imagined that my quality of life would be so low bc of how much pain is in constantly.. I swear I wish these infections would just friggin kill me already and get it over with.. I’ve grown tired. Very tired. I don’t wanna do it anymore, I wanna be done.
Never give up my friend, you are worth fighting for.
@@implantsecrets Oh how I wish I believed that:/ I appreciate it but the world has deemed my worth to be equal to my bank account, both are zero. Can’t help yourself when you have no access to the help. I’ve been in unbearable pain with my entire face swollen and multiple large abscesses in my mouth all constantly leaking into my system with borderline sepsis and have been to the dentist and ER several times. Dentist needs money and the ER could only suggest pulling the teeth myself at home bc they weren’t gonna do anything. Which I’ve done a few times but as you can imagine that didn’t feel great either. At this point I’m quite thankful the infections are getting worse bc maybe it’ll take over soon. Sooner the better. I feel like I haven’t slept in years. The long sleep seems nice. I’ll be thankful to rest.
@@gage6621 🙏😔💙
@@gage6621 that’s terrible, I’m so sorry for you. It seems criminal that dental work is not considered medically necessary. It should be included in our medical insurance.
Hi Dr.
We meet 6/2 for consultant and I haven't been able to think of anything else. I'm working 3 jobs at the moment trying to save. I'm sacrificing family time right now, but I know in my heart this is what I have to do for a happy healthier me. I never did Receive a packet for marketing/ teacher discount that we talked about when I was there. I'm trying really hard, because I know I need this.
How did it go? Mexico is half the price
Gracias for your honesty god bless
Thank you Josefina, that means a lot to me! Thanks for watching.
I'm doing my savings I hope to see you soon Dr Hendriks
We can’t wait to meet you!
I hope so too! Thank you!
I hate the Government,but there needs to be laws or reforms put in place for people needing full mouth restoration that they choose the treatment of their choice(dentures or implants) that it be done for free..Kinda like free Obama cell phones but better cuz it will be the focus on the wellfare and health of the people.
The price these folks( all Dentists) charge for this have HUGE profit margins the implant is very inexpensive compared to what they charge same with the crowns and so on.
You must not own your own business.
WELL WE SHOULD OF TAKEN CARE OF OUR TEETH ITS NOT THERE FAULT WE FKED UP OUR TEETH ITS NOT THERE FAULT THEY WENT TO COLLEGE FOR A CAREER AND OFFER US SERVICE STOP BITCHING YOU SOUND LIKE A CHILD GET OFF THE KEY BOARD AND GO SAVE SOME MONEY .

I've been battling chronic Lyme disease it's eating away my teeth.. I will call you to set up a Consultation I'm from Minneapolis
Hi Ted, wow, Lyme disease is not good. Sorry my friend. I would love to meet you. When you are ready to meet, call my office at 801-990-1703. Thanks for watching!
Yea i agree with you but .my dentist burned all my insurance coverage $2500 on a cleaning i said 3 times i did not want being that i need them all removed and 2 xrays .then its $1500-$2300 every time i show up i have given $7400 cash to have 3 teeth pulled .when i ask what the whole thing is going to cost i get .🤷🏻♂️ oh theres no way to tell come back next week and we will look at your teeth and charge you another $1000 and schedule another checkup for you for the week after and thats going to be atleast a $1000 but we aren't going to do anything just charge you .if i could get a straight awnser on price i would pull out the money and pay for it .but never a straight answer. Just come back and bring your cash with you
I may be able to give estimate, but I'm not sure what pricing do you need? Single implants or full mouth restoration?
You need a new dentist
@@CourageousDreamerAllon4journeyUPDATE .I HAD ALL TOP TEETH PULLED and now he had a partial made .that he is having retrofitted into a make shift denture not an actual denture but a rubber/plastic thing and some temporary lining wax stuff so it kind of fits now .I think he thinks I'm going to let him do the implants because he says $10k-$12k per tooth and he can do all of them separately
Why not suggest the G4 implants for those on a tighter budget & who want everything completed in 3-4 days vs 6-8 months+?
I am 73. My Grand wore the same kind of dentures 100 years ago that I was given .What is happening is greed, how fast and with as little trouble for the"Doctor". Am I wrong ?
I don't agree. If someone has scraped together 50-75% of this astronomical, price gouging, soul-crushung, and sacrificing cost, my God, do what you can to help them! They're obviously committed since they have laid out such a financial investment. Sorry if a patient who overstays their temporary prosthetic is an inconvenience for you and your staff, but maybe cut your prices. Also, if anyone Google's the price of a hockey puck of zirconia, it has a rather wide range of $79.99 (yes, $80 US Dollars) to as much as .... wait for it, $600, US Dollars! Come'on. I get the large staff, malpractice insurance, equipment, but even if you used the absolute best at $600, this is a $15,000 device?! Seriously? No guilt?
Carrie, I do not apologize for what I do, or charge. If you want to go to an office for that price, do not come to me to fix it for you, or give you a second opinion after you have problems. I have traveled the world and spent thousands upon thousands, giving up precious time with my wife and children, as well as investing in the latest technology to give my patients the best. I feel no guilt, and I do not apologize for working and sacrificing to give my family what I have chosen to. But thanks for watching my friend.
I could not agree with you more. Thank you for speaking the TRUTH!
You are 100% right! Wish you were in Michigan, to do my all on 4!
Maybe someday! Thanks for watching!
Morning doctor do you every provide pro bono work.
Thanks Doctor.im trying to hang in there, I'm honestly ready to send you money now, it's only a couple thousands, That's how much it means to me, I have liver diease,I know it would help my health.MANY BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR STAFF DREAM DENTAL.
And you deserve that help. I pray you get it!
How are you supposed to afford $70,000 to $120,00 cash upfront?
Do you have financial
I am in the process of getting a full upper and lower implant overdentures. The price quoted to me was $ 32,000(after promos and discounts).. my insurance paid 50% and paid the other 50%. My question is can my implant overdentures be upgraded to a all on 4 fix dentures. I’ve been watching videos in TH-cam and this scenario is nowhere to be found. In your professional experience can it be done? How much if it can. I live here in California...
can you imagine the desperation these patients feel that can't get medical care they need.?yes,teeth are first a medical issue ,. also you can work with your accounting and pro bono is a tax write off .you can set how many per year ,eligibility requirements for assistance ect. I believe you should get paid for your work. doctors negotiate with insurance companies all the time ,as a nurse case manager I negotiated plenty o f contracts . are your prices competitive number one? what I see is prices all over the place. fair price for fair work . I paid 1500.00 for my sister to get dentures. full price up front. she never finished her treatment plan .when she came back later and asked me again to pay for dentures, I told her no ,work it out. to this day she now has worn down jaw bones ect and it ages her. I told her I have always taken care of my teeth. not fair to me and mine , she cried. I love her,not doing that again.I see your side too.
Greed is not good for anyone.
I have not been out in 2 years! Depression is terrible I wish my teeth looked My profile pic 3 years ago 😔
Okay. If that's the case, why don't you make them stronger So they don't break
Make the temporary stronger? The temporary is made of a softer material and their purpose is mainly for cosmetic while you are healing. They are only suppose to last up to 6 months, although some patients have been able user them longer. The reason for softer material is that if a patient chews or does not follow the soft diet, rather than have the implant fail, the device will break. When this happens, the device needs repair, or possibly a new device is needed to be remade. Added cost. A lot of the time "life" happens and the patient doesn't have the needed funds to repair, or replace. If the treatment has the funds in their account we can proceed into their finals when ready. Thanks for watching.
I think a lot of patients do not understand that the dentist is running a business. He has rent, insurance, employees overhead and his own wage that must come out of what the patients pay. If you have to pay a lot less for a dentist, you need to wonder if he is not paying his employees well, therefore poor work or disgruntled employees, he is not useng the best equipment, he is not getting the education needed to keep up with medicine, etc. there is always a reason and it may not be a good one.
I think you seem very sweet, however I really do like other dentist's feelings of we are going to get our patients financed right from the very beginning so we don't have to worry they don't have to worry they're just financed and we can get it done all the way through. Maybe that should be something you think about in your practice for your patients. The comment of just not being able to pay for it all right up front is not the right patient for you is really disheartening to me!
Same!
Same seems like he is just flat out saying that if you don't turn you and everyone that loves yous pockets inside out that he really doesn't care to even try to figure a way to see you out.
@mealab.1051 it's so heartbreaking and frustrating, isn't it?
I am just scared when implants failed so what are we going to do pay more money ?
I paid 100% up front waiting for my finals now doing wax try ins next before we finalize for zirconia
Congratulations!
I hate my life because of my dentures. I paid extra for mini implants just so I could eat. My lowers flop and won’t stay down first day of o rings. I can’t chew much of any food. Two bites in and nothing holds. Implants finally failed because of constant shifting of dentures even using glue. My dentist says some people just always have to use glue with implants. I can’t chew anything with out issues. I don’t care about eating special foods I would just love to eat anything without issues. It’s been years and I’ve been terribly miserable. They look good but that’s it’s. And I will NEVER be able to afford something like this. It’s pretty sad for those that NEED something to just work. I don’t thing someone should try to bargain with a DR. And these procedures are understandably costly as there is a lot that goes into it.
Can you send me formation on what insurance you accept cuz I ain't with United Healthcare I have dental with that and it's dual complete what insurance You cover
Seems like a really good guy , really hit home . When I get rich I’ll definitely make the trip to come see you for sure. You know your teeth can also effect your financial situation when all you want to do is hide from people or not move up in position bc of your appearance . It’s a tough place to be to say the least , damn I wish I had your teeth. Video made my eyes water up
You are so right! Having a good smile and capability to eat can give you the confidence to do things that have held you back for so long! Becoming who you know you could be! Putting yourself out there because you no longer feel you need to hide. Becoming the person you deserve to be. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for reply , wish you the best with your business. I’m telling you that when and if I get the money I’m going to you!!! Just a cool dude that really cares
I hope to travel and see you where are you located?? I’m tired of going from dentists that I feel that don’t listen ..
I'm in UK and I'm in need to see you ..
THANKS I UNDERSTAND,BUT MY GO FUND IS GOING SLOW.
It takes a lot of patience! We can’t wait to meet you!
You charge too much.I am 73. My Grand wore the same kind of dentures 100 ago years that I was given .What is happening is greed, how fast and with as little trouble for the"Doctor". Am I wrong ?
Is it dangerous that I'm using super glue to reseat my crowns? Literally for 10 years I have had to use it for my broken crowns.
Truthfully I cant speak to what the long term effects could be. Im sure they arent positive but certainly would likely do the same in your circumstance. Hang in there.
@@implantsecrets I am really trying to do that. It's getting a little harder to tell myself this is temporary though.
im very interested in getting my teeth done in about a month so before i get excited i need a price for all on 4 upper and price on bottom to see if i can afford both could i get the price of titanium and zirconium please.
Anyone’s money but he can pay for his phone cars and pay his bills
How are permanents more hygienic or sanitary than temps ?
Temps are made of different material and not designed for permanent. The permanent can be designed in a way that is easier to maintain and cleaned.
What do you think about paying up front? My dentist said he would write up something in the agreement if it fails or an implant fails they will replace it. Do you think I should have anything else written up?
You should ask about the cost of the replacement, are there conditions added to it. And what timeframe/how long that agreement would stand.
Very inspirational, thank you.
Thank you my friend!
Your teeth are so beautiful … I’m so jealous lol
If not a dentist you would’ve been a great prosperity preacher, I’m sure.
The reason Doctor H you have to make this video is because
this is so expensive lets be honest most people that come to you can't
afford these implants I love your work and education and we do understand the
work that goes into this but lets be honest IMPLANTS ARE TO MUCH MONEY
that's why Insurance won't pay! Most of the people that come to you are hard working poor people
when you have to borrow scrape, sell and God knows what to afford this its crazy but one day
this to shall past I mean have a heart Doctor
I will be honest with you, Implants are not cheap, either is the education, experience, technology and equipment as well as the insurance that we as Dr.s need, and the risks that are associated with the surgery that this entails. You have NO idea what goes into the work I do. I appreciate you trying to be friendly in your words, but it angers me when people assume what we do is too expensive. Do you say this to your heart surgeon when you need heart surgery?
I agree.
what is the estimate of the price for the upper and lower needed ???
Hi Dr. H, I was committed to come to your hospital in 202 since 2019 before covid but still, I'm struggling with finances, but re-commit everyday and fight hard.
However let me know if you provide for some visa paper work or invitation for someone coming from third world country
Hello Benjamin my friend, I wish I knew how to help you. We would love to meet you. We look forward to when you can come.
Do you have financing available.
Hi
we have multiple financing and other treatment options available. We mainly use GreenSky lending company. They are good to work with our patients. You can click on the finance link on our website site to fill out an application. Investing in your health is never a bad idea.
I understand but come on doctors
I feel all not the same it’s cool to make payment plans for those who can prove themselves, it will bring more money, and more customers. Just saying hun but I’ll be robbing Peter to pay Paul which is you doctor lol 😝
I 100% agree with you
OMG your teeth are so beautiful 😭😭😭
Working on it!
My sister in law found this dentist and was so excited. She had been waiting for quite a while hoping to find a dentist that she liked, might be able to afford and wasn’t too far away. She lives in California but was willing to travel to Utah.
She was hopeful that Dr.Hendricks would be the end of her search for just the right place. Unfortunately it didn’t work out. It turned out that the cost for her surgery was only just under 5k less than an implant center she consulted with in Southern California.
The only reason I’m leaving the comment is because her English isn’t great, and she asked me to do it. She said she’d watched many of the videos and based on what she’d heard in the them she assumed that leaving a larger market like LA and flying to Utah would lower the cost enough to where she could afford it. She didn’t need any of the extra things done like sinus lifts, bone grafting or any gum issues. She ended up deciding that the 5k she’d potentially save would be eaten up in travel costs and return visits so she ended up having it done in CA.
The main reason she wanted to leave this comment is because she doesn’t want other people to get their hopes up like she did. Her hope was that the cost difference between LA and Utah would be significant. Sadly, it wasn’t. She recently had her surgery, and is doing great!
Well, this comment serves no purpose, and I will explain why.
1. "She didn’t need any of the extra things done like sinus lifts, bone grafting or any gum issues" those are not extra things, those could play a huge role in the final outcome fo the final restoration. This seems like a vague statement coming from someone who is not educated enough in the field.
2. There is a market for everyone. CA, especially in LA, dental offices are packed next to each other. More than welcome to shop around and see where you can get a cheaper (NOT BETTER) price.
3. Just because one office charges more or less than the other office does not mean that the service is better or worse than at the other dental office. Services are different, markets are different, doctor's experience is different. Here in PA, for a zirconia screw-retained full arch bridge prices greatly vary from one location to another. You can see a wide range between 20K and 40K.
4. If 5K was that big of an issue, I am sure you can find much cheaper services at more rural areas.
5. Do not get people who MUST leave a negative review/comment for no damn reason. You are pretty much trying to hurt one's business because YOU BELIEVE THAT THIS PARTICULAR DENTIST CHARGES 5K MORE. Quality vs. quantity.
Stay true to yourself. Props to Dr. H for sharing🤙🏻
This isn’t a debate. Her point was that many of Dr. Hendricks videos state that he’s less expensive than larger markets like LA, etc. She pinned her hopes on that and hoped she would be able to afford to have Dr.Hendricks do the surgery. When she found out it wasn’t that much less she was disappointed. Nothing more, nothing less. She wants other people to be prepared. Have a good day.
@@lilyalvarez1925 Well $5k is a pretty big difference as far as dentistry goes. If you want cheaper then you'd need to look into another country.
You are named Doctor . Put it is clear from your comments in this video that economics is your concern. Shame1
He does very much care about his patients too. That is obvious. But I do agree that it is far too much for the average person😔
how much does your whole plan cost

I need all my teeth 🦷.
Take this video down it makes you look very bad.
It is difficult to watch the girmus on you face. It indicates you that you are conflicted.You charge too much.
It's never difficult to justify a lack of moral imperatives. You think you're doing your patients justice ? I beg to differ and in the scenario you describe, you have lost nothing so please don't pretend to have high morals and integrity; your true colors are showing through.
A lack of moral imperative? I would be happy to have you as a guest on my channel and we go live to discuss this.
Morning. I’ve watched some of your other videos where there is monthly payments on total. So are you no longer doing that now?
No, we do not.
@@implantsecrets on fb it says financing available. Will you explain this to me just as I will understand and know what I need to do. I would love to do this. I’m out of state. I see the financing available but then it says no payments. Thank you for your time.
@@implantsecrets you really should for those of us with low income and a fixed budget. Those of us who REALLY need this procedure but can't pay the full price up front (which is many of us)
Please reconsider this policy.
It would help so many more.

So your telling me 75% doesn’t cover your cost ? I’m calling BS sir ! And this is all about you living large so just stop ! I agree that you want paid for you services as you should. But please just stop !!
No, you are jumping to conclusions, if a patient is compliant and they have a failed implant, I cover the $75% and the patient pays 25% to replace it.
