I saw 2 different dentists, 8 months apart, that when I told them both how much my molar upper right hurt me, #3 tooth, neither one referred me out to a Endontist. The tooth that was hurting was a very old root canal. Now, Endontist tells me he doubts he can save that tooth. 😢 Found out, in the state of Nevada, the greedy rich business owners including dentists all own the politicians and our laws screw every patient while protecting even the most inscrupulous dentist. No attorney even wants to file any lawsuits against them. One attorney told me the laws are so difficult to maneuver that he gave up filing any dental suits forever! We live in such a cold, cruel country where the rich own the politicians. F this.
It is cruelty, and one of the issues done against the elderly...and advocacy tirelessly fought for 40 years by Bernie Sanders, since HE was a young man.
@@andreah6379 I had an attorney tell me there is no such thing as a dental malpractice law suit. He said they do not file them EVER & he is correct. You will never be able to sue your dentist for horrible work. The dentists know this. We as patients find it out the hard way. I pray every day for a solution that will help me get my life back. I also try to tell my story to people to help avoid such a nightmare if I can help even one person I would feel happy. God iOS doing an amazing work in my through all of this. Since I wrote my last comment I have stopped crying , I am doing my best to get up every day and be productive. I am not paralyzed with fear & I believe God has an answer for me. The hopelessness was awful. I trust I will get the miracle I am praying for. I pray we ALL DO!!!
“Emotional” doesn’t even begin to describe it. Most American’s gross annual income wouldn’t cover the initial surgery. Insurance doesn’t cover it. Then add in every other expense because a person can’t only pay the dental bill. This is the kind of thing that will drive someone to the brink of thinking “the world is better off without me”
You are absolutely right. If the person scrambled up $50,000 and ended up having problems like this, it would be tempting to just leave the party for good.
Yes I am was one of those people. My teeth were not healthy and I didn’t have the money to fix them. I had them pulled at low income dental clinic in February. They charged based on our income. These places don’t give you dentures. So I bought some really pretty face masks off Amazon. I can be in public and no one knows. I am missing all my teeth. Eating I am back on the same type of solid food. I was before my teeth were pulled. Except for crunchy hard stuff. Yes it was sad that I lost my teeth. But I have a lot to be grateful for. The dentist who pulled those teeth. Stopped infection that was spreading. It was only matter of time before. Things would become life threatening. Eventually I will have dentures it might be few years. But I will get them. Whether it is teeth you can’t fix or something else you can’t afford to do. You got realize the most important thing. Is you with or without teeth. Are still the same person. You aren’t ugly or failure. Sometimes things happen that are beyond your control. It does get better you just take one day at time.
Domestic spending on healthcare programs in the United States. Is separate part of the federal budget. Spending you are talking about is foreign aid. My not having dentures has zero to do with Israel or Ukraine getting foreign aid.
North of $85, 000 over 30 years in root canals, crowns, and bridges. Now most of the teeth have failed. This leaves me cynical and suspicious of dental treatment. I expect any new dentist would be offended by my level of anviety, but it is based on experience. Sell the dream, live the nightmare.
I am really sorry. You did everything you were supposed to do. Went to dentist for treatment and spent a lot if money. Having all those procedures fail. Would make anyone cynical and anxious.
I am in the same boat. I spent 68K on The All On 4 and I completely regret it. I am in constant pain and discomfort. the only time the pain goes away is when I'm asleep. I had already had numerous root canals and other teeth work and was told this would solve my problems. I will never trust a dentist or doctor again. There is no way that I will ever go to a hospital or take any medication for any reason ever again
My experience is the same. Every dentist I go to only recommends implants. It has become another health care scam. They are changing to all corporate dentists pushing implants just like doctors pushing pills and tests. Horrible and corrupt
I feel sooooo bad for this woman! I am having somatic implant nightmares. The people who do this to us are unbelievably cruel. I don’t know how they sleep at night. My entire life as I knew it has ended. The depression is real. What our children see us go through is something children should never have to see. The humiliation, pain, reclusiveness…. Our daughters should never have to see any of it. I pray this woman gets help. I pray we all do.
@@PStewart28 I didn’t get dental implants because I didn’t brush my teeth. I got them because I had a terrible accident and hit my face on concrete & broke them out.

I'm planning all on 4 for my bottom arch and this is my nightmare scenario. It was hard enough to afford one arch let alone the idea of having it fail. Terrifying.
@@akosreke8963 Yeah I'm finishing up about 2 years worth of research. Talked to people with dentures and to people with implants. You're not wrong but I think a lot of people aren't great at upkeep and hygiene honestly. Most implants are successful.
Invention of All on 4 is really a disservice to the dental patients of the world. From 90s till mid 2000, full arches of implant restorations were done with the traditional design of porcelain fused to noble metal, based on crown and bridge principles. Cleansibility and proper bite were critical to success, in addition to esthetics. Restorations lasting for 20 years or more are the norm. What I see, ever since the movement to All on 4, are inevitable failures of very expensive restorations. Why? Because all the basic principles of crown and bridge design are violated....very very sad!
@@DurzoBlunts I promise you, dentists make more money from extractions and doing fillings. They take less time and they have less cost for the dentist
I've had the exact same experience. Can't find anyone that will help me without charging 12 to 15k, after the initial $68k. I was a victim of greed and it ruined my life. I never smile, haven't eaten solid food for 2 years , my speech is impaired and the pain is unbearable and I paid out all I had to deal with the health problems related to the procedure that ruined my life.
I am so sorry to hear about your dental issues. I am learning a lot by watching this channel. I don't mean to pry but, why did you have to get a mouth full of implants? Did it come from a chronic medical condition that caused you to lose your teeth, or was it from a lack of proper dental hygiene?
I am so very sorry. It must be heartbreaking for you. You spent a lot of money to have nice teeth. Now you didn’t get what was promised. I wished there was something I could do to help you.

This dentist probably will not warn you about going outside the country. For major dental work. But I will you will have no idea what materials were used in those implants. You won’t know what kind of implant was used. Whoever does this surgery you won’t know what kind of training the dentist had. You just saw video of lady who had implants done in the US. They failed you want go outside the country putting yourself at greater risk. Absolutely nuts to do this. All to avoid removing your teeth at night. You better hope there is no serious complications from the procedure. Because no dentist in the states will want touch you. Huge liability for them to work on you. When they don’t have any idea what materials or implants were used.
What is a cantilever Doc and how much is it gonna cost her to fix this mess ? She knows she’s got problems so going over & over the problem instead of getting to the fix
Cantilever basically just means the unsupported teeth that are not screwed in. They place 4 implants and the teeth on the prosthesis directly below that are going to be supported best obviously, and the further down you go without an implant the less support, so she got the implants weirdly placed too close together. the back two should have been wider, but for whatever reason were not.. and it leaves 3 molars "hanging" in a sense without that abutment support which led to the problems. The fix is to either just remove the end molars with a new prosthesis (I don't know if they would just "cut them off" the current one) so it's less pressure, or fix what the original dentist should have done and place the implants in a proper location. That means 2 new implants which likely would cost around $5,000, plus a new prosthesis probably? And no idea what that is, but I'm sure if a single crown runs you around $750, that's also in the mid thousands. I bet if she had it completely fixed to her satisfaction, at a decent dentist, she's probably looking to pay at least $7,000, and often closer to the $12,000 she was quoted to fix it. You never know what it will cost or how good the dentist is because they don't have price tags. You sit in a chair, they tell you why you need something done, and to give permission to do it, then charge you. It's absolute insanity. But like politics, we know it's totally messed up yet just accept it and support it with our votes/money.
WOW,sounds like a question”who did your hair last time?” at the cost of $50,000-just horrible! Dentists are the only winners in this whole situation and there are more and more stories like this one! Simply disgusting!
I'm getting all on 6's, zirconia dentures $42,000 for everything, I'm paying cash. Was doing some research on most of the dentist in the city Ended up picking a dentist office in the nicer part of city. They have good reviews, so will see what happens. I must live in a cheap state or something for dentistry. Because $50,000 - $60,000 is pretty up there. Or some dentist dentist like to overcharge, idk?
I had my teeth pulled six months ago. Because implants are expensive. Removable dentures are affordable. I am getting what I can afford. I don’t have any teeth at all. I am eating fine just little embarrassing. Compared to what this poor lady is dealing with. It is nothing.
Hey, I am suffering from a situation where the dentist has suggested me a single tooth implant costing 30k. Can you suggest me an implantologists who reside in Kolkata? It would be of great help. Thank you.
Granted I am getting removable dentures not implants. Now I just had tooth pulled. That was infected the infection had spread. To bone in my jaw under no circumstances whatsoever. Would I have wanted fly on airplane. Let someone who I don’t know anything about. Treat my life threatening bone infection. I had my teeth pulled by licensed dentist. Here in the United States. At dental clinic. I am fully recovered and doing well.
@@everydaywithpoulami6963 13:37 13 Get a 2nd opinion. Definitely high even for a U.S. dentist. Sounds like it should be more around the 3-4 thousand range. Good luck
I know and seeing how much she is suffering. Makes feel guilty for the complaining that. I have done about. Having no teeth until I can afford dentures. I can eat my regular diet. I just avoid really hard things. The embarrassment is me just being A baby about this whole thing.
You can use food pantry to help feed you and your parents. My husband is disabled so sometimes. We use food pantry to help us eat. I am really sorry and hope things get better for all of you.
Hello Doctor, How much does cost the zirconia bridges in your clinic? We already have an implant and midterm acrylic bridge but would like to change that to zircon bridge. Need to get price. Thanks in advance
Thank god i avoid that all on 4 you and the dentist dont tell you about the bone removal. I got the 3 on 6 at the Utah smile clinic with dr Randy Robert's. The best decisions i ever made. Hes a blessing
I think there might be some financial issues with patient that is why previous dentist did not insert an extra implant to prevent cantilever effects.. Second thing is that you can't say that one or two implant are questionable just by looking at periapical xray for this you have to do CBCT Xray... And every all on four prosthesis do have some cleaning and maintenance issues that is not previous dintist fault.. It could be because of patient as well not following oral hygiene instructions not using water flosser.. Etc
Or maybe she can have some health problem as she is not young anymore. I am wondering if the previous dentist send her to have a full check up before dental procedure. In Moldova before they start a major dental work they need some blood test to be done. They never promisse you an implant for life,there are no quarantee it will last. They are the most honest dentist I ever encountered in my life.
They sound very nice. My husband had to have the rest of his teeth pulled. He had stroke few years ago. He needed clearance by the doctor for the oral surgeon. To pull his teeth. I was glad they didn’t want to take any chances.
These people are thorough and seem quite capable but Jaysus folks, cut it out with language like "I'm a little worried" and "suspicious" Get yourself a thesaurus and slow down your talking. Consider your bedside manner. That's a person there, and a lot more than medical and technical considerations. The same for the specialist; StoP with the "shoulds" instead of "there should be no..." Make it,. "we want to make sure we have smooth edges
Uk and usa dentists are legal robbers…i travelled to Bulgaria and got full top and bottom for under 9000£c the process took a year but now i have a full set of beautiful, strong zirconia teeth. But what gets me is certain people claim they have such bad teeth, cant eat etc yet they are fat !! ahum…
This is an educational channel and great public service. I highly recommend it for anyone needing dental surgery to watch it. Not all dentists or oral surgeons are created equal. There are many weeds out there. Some old, some young. We need to know what’s the right questions to ask, then to make the educated decision.
I am really glad you and many find this channel helpful! Whether someone is our patient or not, they deserve all knowledge they can get before a big decision like dental implants👍🏼
I am not getting implants but my younger brother. He is 49 years old. Two years ago he had root canal’s done on top teeth. The crown came off. One of them because the root canal failed. He was at the dentist. They told my brother that all of his top teeth need to be pulled. The root canal’s failed. His bone health is good. The dentist has given him choice between traditional bridge. Which will not last as long. Or implants my question is do you think. He should get second opinion from another dentist??
@@angelaschaefer5883Ofcourse he should get second and third opinions. Make sure you are adequately informed about your condition before finalizing any treatment which is irreversible
It is heart wrenching to see how many thousands or more people are having nighmare experiences with implants! My Brother along with many have had infections after infections which ultimately the pain is unbearable 💔 they can only eat smoothies and mushed up foods in order to survive. They dropped loads of weight and literly have no social life at all.
Won't happen here in Nevada. Just found out how our state laws protect every dentist in malpractice and negligence. One attorney was really fed up when he left his message telling me he use to file claims against these greedy dentists but now the laws are so difficult to work with that his job is impossible & he refuses to file another dental suit again. Called 15 attorneys. No one wants to touch my case of malpractice. People need to vote for politicians that work FOR them--Not the greedy rich.
You can't expext honesty when this type of profit is involved. Some dentists are pure evil. Years ago, a dentist kept trying to sell me an implant instead of a bridge, telling me lie after lie. Finally, he intentionally installed a bad bridge that made it impossible to chew on that side - just to teach me a lesson that I should have listened to him. After a complaint to the Dental Board & consultations with other dentists who contacted him, he refunded me the $3,500.00 so another dentist could re-do the bridge.
When you have big money like dentists do, you want to control how you can make even more. Greed makes the rich want to own politicians that loosen or erase the laws that protect the consumer, you & me. In Nevada, I just learned today, not one attorney of the 15 I called want to even file any suits against dentists here because the laws are so hard to work with as an attorney working to get relief for your client, they all just give up. Greed. The more $$$$ these guys make, the more they want.
Instead of placing additional implants, could the patient have been offered a shortened prosthesis by removing one tooth from each side as suggested by the other dentist?
too bad this Dr in the video didnt say the other Dr didnt put support implants under her molars, because one possibility is that she had no bone there to insert the implants. I understand that if that the case the previous dentist should ve not put mollars there. shame on that loser dentist for making this ;ady paying 50K $ and go through this. big loser!
I am living in a nightmare after spending 50k last August I’m having my third surgery on these implants because of the top implants keep failing and I am starting to feel like I’ll never be able to get these implants to work properly
My mother in law is getting implants and it will take close to a year and quoted $22,000.I paid $10,000 for full extraction and dentures just couldn’t afford the $27,000 I was quoted that was 4 top 4 bottom
I got full set dentures and for now they are working with good application of adhesive and I’ve changed my chewing and bite.I can chew flat ice yeah i know I shouldn’t but it’s a habit,i can chew thick slice apples,subway sandwiches,hot wings,hard cookies,some nuts no problem.Sticky foods are however are still an issue So no tootsie rolls LOL,haven’t tried chocolate bars with caramel but i don’t normally eat that stuff anyway.Can eat hard dark semi sweet chocolate.Don’t think ill ever have an issue with top dentures but do believe eventually I’ll need bottom implants
I am a smoker, I had a tooth fail, went to a local dentist, told them I'm a smoker upfront, I was given the option to just extract or have an implant. They told me because its close to the smile line I should have the tooth extracted and have an implant put in, cost $3000 and after the procedure they tell me I have to quit smoking cold turkey. I have no intention of quitting, not right now, there's no way I can just up and quit cold turkey. I wish I just had the tooth extracted and when the time comes to quit then deal with any implant procedure. I feel like I was upsold to have the implant put in and now I regret the entire situation.
Dr. Choi you extracted my #31. I barely got to talk to you. All you said was "this one needs to go". I was referred to you for #31 and #18 to be extracted. I chose the 31 and got a second opinion on rhe 18th. They did a root canal and saved my tooth now I wonder if I could have saved the 31. Why didn't you even explain to me why 31 needed to go? Also there was no after instruction and I was bleeding when I left. I see your channel and a completely different dentist. I still have dental issues and looking for solutions but as I said you only said one phrase to me with no explanation. Scarry experience
I don't remember the guys name, but he had all his videos here on youtube. He is completely gone! He was so friendly and acted like he truly cared and said he was like an artist.😢😢😢😢
"If you don't mind me asking...... how did they charge you for the implants? " Lady: "50,000" Dentist: " I'm sorry mama..... it's going to cost you 25,000 to fix there mistake.... "
Wow I hope it gets better for her and I’m thinking of having the all on’s but I see some dentist offices be doing implants nope I’m going to a implant doctor oral surgeon not a basic dentist and I’m just done with all the money I have spent I’m 51 and feel what someone said about all the money we keep paying on crowns etc

I'm getting all on 6's, zirconia dentures $42,000 for everything, I'm paying cash. Was doing some research on most of the dentist in the city
Ended up picking a dentist office in the nicer part of city. They have good reviews, so will see what happens. I must live in a cheap state or something for dentistry. Because $50,000 - $60,000 is pretty up there. Or some dentist dentist like to overcharge, idk?
Did he ever give that woman a chance to answer 😂
How can you justify the price
I had my teeth pulled six months ago. Because implants are expensive. Removable dentures are affordable. I am getting what I can afford. I don’t have any teeth at all. I am eating fine just little embarrassing. Compared to what this poor lady is dealing with. It is nothing.
Then American dentists will say don't get your work done abroad.. implantologists in India do a much better job than this..
Hey, I am suffering from a situation where the dentist has suggested me a single tooth implant costing 30k. Can you suggest me an implantologists who reside in Kolkata? It would be of great help. Thank you.
Lol
Granted I am getting removable dentures not implants. Now I just had tooth pulled. That was infected the infection had spread. To bone in my jaw under no circumstances whatsoever. Would I have wanted fly on airplane. Let someone who I don’t know anything about. Treat my life threatening bone infection. I had my teeth pulled by licensed dentist. Here in the United States. At dental clinic. I am fully recovered and doing well.

Get a 2nd opinion. Definitely high even for a U.S. dentist. Sounds like it should be more around the 3-4 thousand range. Good luck
What a nightmare poor woman X
I know and seeing how much she is suffering. Makes feel guilty for the complaining that. I have done about. Having no teeth until I can afford dentures. I can eat my regular diet. I just avoid really hard things. The embarrassment is me just being A baby about this whole thing.
Between the 2 docs, I heard "cantilevering" explained 4 or 5 times!
Some people are so rich 65k for a fake teeth meanwhile am trying to feed my parents
You can use food pantry to help feed you and your parents. My husband is disabled so sometimes. We use food pantry to help us eat. I am really sorry and hope things get better for all of you.
@@angelaschaefer5883 we don't have such thing in my country
Hello Doctor,
How much does cost the zirconia bridges in your clinic? We already have an implant and midterm acrylic bridge but would like to change that to zircon bridge. Need to get price. Thanks in advance
WHY DO ALL DENTISTS, LIKE HAIRDRESSERS, ALWAYS SAY EACH ITHERS WORK IS SO BAD BLA BLA?! doctors dont !!
Arent regular dentures better? Geez
Thank god i avoid that all on 4 you and the dentist dont tell you about the bone removal. I got the 3 on 6 at the Utah smile clinic with dr Randy Robert's. The best decisions i ever made. Hes a blessing
I think there might be some financial issues with patient that is why previous dentist did not insert an extra implant to prevent cantilever effects.. Second thing is that you can't say that one or two implant are questionable just by looking at periapical xray for this you have to do CBCT Xray... And every all on four prosthesis do have some cleaning and maintenance issues that is not previous dintist fault.. It could be because of patient as well not following oral hygiene instructions not using water flosser.. Etc
Or maybe she can have some health problem as she is not young anymore. I am wondering if the previous dentist send her to have a full check up before dental procedure. In Moldova before they start a major dental work they need some blood test to be done. They never promisse you an implant for life,there are no quarantee it will last. They are the most honest dentist I ever encountered in my life.
They sound very nice. My husband had to have the rest of his teeth pulled. He had stroke few years ago. He needed clearance by the doctor for the oral surgeon. To pull his teeth. I was glad they didn’t want to take any chances.
Her story is my story 😭😭😭😭
sorry to hear that shelly. let us know how we can help
@@northtexasdentalsurgery thank you so much. Do you offer zygomatic implants if so how much would 1 be?
These people are thorough and seem quite capable but Jaysus folks, cut it out with language like "I'm a little worried" and "suspicious" Get yourself a thesaurus and slow down your talking. Consider your bedside manner. That's a person there, and a lot more than medical and technical considerations. The same for the specialist; StoP with the "shoulds" instead of "there should be no..." Make it,. "we want to make sure we have smooth edges
Uk and usa dentists are legal robbers…i travelled to Bulgaria and got full top and bottom for under 9000£c the process took a year but now i have a full set of beautiful, strong zirconia teeth. But what gets me is certain people claim they have such bad teeth, cant eat etc yet they are fat !! ahum…
Y. Don’t you give yourself a good name and fix this ladies problem
I'm happy for this Lady She is in great hands now!
This poor gal was in tears. I want to know who did that to her! Shyster dentists!
This is an educational channel and great public service. I highly recommend it for anyone needing dental surgery to watch it. Not all dentists or oral surgeons are created equal. There are many weeds out there. Some old, some young. We need to know what’s the right questions to ask, then to make the educated decision.
I am really glad you and many find this channel helpful! Whether someone is our patient or not, they deserve all knowledge they can get before a big decision like dental implants👍🏼
I am not getting implants but my younger brother. He is 49 years old. Two years ago he had root canal’s done on top teeth. The crown came off. One of them because the root canal failed. He was at the dentist. They told my brother that all of his top teeth need to be pulled. The root canal’s failed. His bone health is good. The dentist has given him choice between traditional bridge. Which will not last as long. Or implants my question is do you think. He should get second opinion from another dentist??
@@angelaschaefer5883Ofcourse he should get second and third opinions.
Make sure you are adequately informed about your condition before finalizing any treatment which is irreversible
It is heart wrenching to see how many thousands or more people are having nighmare experiences with implants! My Brother along with many have had infections after infections which ultimately the pain is unbearable 💔 they can only eat smoothies and mushed up foods in order to survive. They dropped loads of weight and literly have no social life at all.
I am so sorry.
Doesn’t he have a tax ID or other type of liability? Go after the dentist lol
Won't happen here in Nevada. Just found out how our state laws protect every dentist in malpractice and negligence.
One attorney was really fed up when he left his message telling me he use to file claims against these greedy dentists but now the laws are so difficult to work with that his job is impossible & he refuses to file another dental suit again.
Called 15 attorneys. No one wants to touch my case of malpractice.
People need to vote for politicians that work FOR them--Not the greedy rich.
You can't expext honesty when this type of profit is involved. Some dentists are pure evil. Years ago, a dentist kept trying to sell me an implant instead of a bridge, telling me lie after lie. Finally, he intentionally installed a bad bridge that made it impossible to chew on that side - just to teach me a lesson that I should have listened to him. After a complaint to the Dental Board & consultations with other dentists who contacted him, he refunded me the $3,500.00 so another dentist could re-do the bridge.
Dentistry is super scammy since forever until today
When you have big money like dentists do, you want to control how you can make even more. Greed makes the rich want to own politicians that loosen or erase the laws that protect the consumer, you & me.
In Nevada, I just learned today, not one attorney of the 15 I called want to even file any suits against dentists here because the laws are so hard to work with as an attorney working to get relief for your client, they all just give up.
Greed. The more $$$$ these guys make, the more they want.
Instead of placing additional implants, could the patient have been offered a shortened prosthesis by removing one tooth from each side as suggested by the other dentist?
I wish all dentist were as efficient and compassionate as you!
too bad this Dr in the video didnt say the other Dr didnt put support implants under her molars, because one possibility is that she had no bone there to insert the implants. I understand that if that the case the previous dentist should ve not put mollars there. shame on that loser dentist for making this ;ady paying 50K $ and go through this. big loser!
I am living in a nightmare after spending 50k last August I’m having my third surgery on these implants because of the top implants keep failing and I am starting to feel like I’ll never be able to get these implants to work properly
Hopefully this time it will go well for you. Sending hugs and good thoughts.
My mother in law is getting implants and it will take close to a year and quoted $22,000.I paid $10,000 for full extraction and dentures just couldn’t afford the $27,000 I was quoted that was 4 top 4 bottom
I got full set dentures and for now they are working with good application of adhesive and I’ve changed my chewing and bite.I can chew flat ice yeah i know I shouldn’t but it’s a habit,i can chew thick slice apples,subway sandwiches,hot wings,hard cookies,some nuts no problem.Sticky foods are however are still an issue So no tootsie rolls LOL,haven’t tried chocolate bars with caramel but i don’t normally eat that stuff anyway.Can eat hard dark semi sweet chocolate.Don’t think ill ever have an issue with top dentures but do believe eventually I’ll need bottom implants
I am a smoker, I had a tooth fail, went to a local dentist, told them I'm a smoker upfront, I was given the option to just extract or have an implant. They told me because its close to the smile line I should have the tooth extracted and have an implant put in, cost $3000 and after the procedure they tell me I have to quit smoking cold turkey. I have no intention of quitting, not right now, there's no way I can just up and quit cold turkey. I wish I just had the tooth extracted and when the time comes to quit then deal with any implant procedure. I feel like I was upsold to have the implant put in and now I regret the entire situation.
What’s the average full implant for a full upper and lower?
It varies depending on where you go
Very very few dentists are not crooked
50k is ridiculous
I don’t understand why the dentist kept repeating himself. Get to the point…
Dentist dudes ear is about to die from that mask
He supposed to do a cone beam scan for a clearer view not a xtray😂😂😂unreal
Dr. Choi you extracted my #31. I barely got to talk to you. All you said was "this one needs to go". I was referred to you for #31 and #18 to be extracted. I chose the 31 and got a second opinion on rhe 18th. They did a root canal and saved my tooth now I wonder if I could have saved the 31. Why didn't you even explain to me why 31 needed to go? Also there was no after instruction and I was bleeding when I left. I see your channel and a completely different dentist. I still have dental issues and looking for solutions but as I said you only said one phrase to me with no explanation. Scarry experience
I don't remember the guys name, but he had all his videos here on youtube. He is completely gone!
He was so friendly and acted like he truly cared and said he was like an artist.😢😢😢😢
sorry don't know who you're referring to
"If you don't mind me asking...... how did they charge you for the implants? " Lady: "50,000" Dentist: " I'm sorry mama..... it's going to cost you 25,000 to fix there mistake.... "
Wow I hope it gets better for her and I’m thinking of having the all on’s but I see some dentist offices be doing implants nope I’m going to a implant doctor oral surgeon not a basic dentist and I’m just done with all the money I have spent I’m 51 and feel what someone said about all the money we keep paying on crowns etc
The turkish dentists, are the best. They do it ,day in day out.
Is the second Dentist from Greece? we love her voice
Thank you very much. Yes 🇬🇷 !
