My advice for anyone thinking about pulling all teeth and getting snap in. Make sure you get someone who knows what they're doing. Had my teeth pulled on bottom. Three months in and I still don't have any temps. I developed difficulty swallowing which sent me to the hospital because I can't eat or drink properly. Now I've developed anxiety over swallowing. Don't know exactly what happened but it's a serious problem. Wish I kept my bad teeth, at least could eat. Hopefully I'll get used to this.
I read that a speech pathologist can help retrain the swallowing...I have a few teeth in back but the front were pulled 2 weeks ago...I am eating mushy food and smoothies and soups...very little at a time....also quiches.......I have swallowing issues as it is..and I understand.........I cannot afford implants right now.....I am looking to get a partial...for now.....How are you doing now?
You explained all of this better than my dentist did! I just had the two implants put in a few days ago and still kind of sore. I have to wait 3 months before I can get my lower snap in denture, as he said it must take that long to heal, which is okay with me, better safe than sorry! I wish I had watched your video before I went in though! Thanks for the video!
I will be getting exactly this plan for myself, snap in denture with 2 implants for lower and regular denture for the top. My choice is mainly due to budget. Each implant costs too much for me. If money is no object, of course I'd like at least 4 implants each for top and bottom but it's too much. So this is what I have decided on. Perhaps in future if I have the extra money, I will add implants to the top jaw as well. This video has given me more confidence that I have made the right choice for myself at this time. Thank you so much!
You seem so nice. I need to get denture, I have a partial denture. And my reg. dentist is retiring and I meet his replacement and she’s a young woman but just don’t know.
I just got snap in denture’s which took almost 7 month’s to get I love them 💯 I went to Aspen Dental they made ( 2 ) sets of dentures’s which didn’t fit my small mouth the last set the top denture’s stuck out of my mouth it looked like a huge overbite we received my money back then it took me 8 year’s to finally get snap in denture’s eight year’s without teeth is very depressing. I had to have 5 snap’s in my bottom gum because I had some bone loss in the bottom gum
In the Netherlands dentures is free of cost . The basic health insurance about 180 euros every month included this even implants . Even rebase reline . Also removing teeth.
Not a good post. How is it helping the ones here in America who can't afford them? Should i at 66 denounce my American Citizenship and move to the Netherlands?
My Medicare/medicaid covers basic procedures, including dentures, but not crowns, root canals, implants, etc… I’m fortunate to have what I have, but those of us who can’t afford a root canal just get the tooth pulled.
@@TheGuyclark1958SERIOUSLY 😳 that person was just saying how they get free denture’s in their Country that’s all these video’s have a comment section that’s all it was.
Thank you so much @verynicesmiledental I’d like to ask, can a 75years old diabetic patient have this lower jaw snap implant as well? Taking into consideration the disease condition. Thank you
Getting my 16 extractions in a few days. I can't afford the implants, which I wanted. However, for 2 the price is around $5k It's gonna take 6 weeks to heal & then another 8 weeks to get my dentures.
Hi, thank you very much for sharing! I have a lot of patients who do very well with regular dentures. I hope everything goes smoothly. Please let me know how it goes.

Thank you so much for the video and positive information about Snap Ons.. I'm closing in on receiving my snap on (4 post was my decision so it is more secure) denture finally. Have had my implants exposed and my old denture modified with space for the posts now that they are capped. So looking forward to the end result, it's amazing how we take for granted simply eating foods we like. Complete diet change for me the past 4 months - ready to enjoy food again (hopefully!).
In my opinion...snap ins r most secure....but for me...if I'm being drilled....might as well go for all 4 on one rather than loosing my tasebud....areas
My pops had dentures that he had gotten in his late to early thirties the only time he took them out was to clean them then he used poligrip or something like that to hold them in top and bottom I did not even know he even had Dentures I always thought those were his real teeth I asked him about getting Dentures he said I have dentures I was totally floored you cannot tell that he had dentures he never took him out except to clean them and put whatever it was poligrip or whatever on on his dentures only time they permanently came out was when he had a massive stroke and then he passed away he had them as I said earlier got them in his late twenties early thirties he was 75 when he had a massive stroke and died that's how long he had those dentures in his mouth
Teeth pulled in FEB 2024, eight implants placed four upper and four lower. The bottom will be snap on, the top will have a bar. One top implant failed and I had it replaced last week with a thicker and more aggressively threaded implant with grafting compound. Scheduled for implant exposure one June to have the temp screw removed and the post put in. My prosthodontist and oral surgeon are going slower than I want; however, watching these type videos, I find that I see where they are looking out for my long term oral health. I’m still anxious for June to get here so I can stop using adhesive.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental I know. But unlike GI Joe, knowing is half the battle doesn’t help with the disappointment and depression. I couldn’t stay the way I was, the teeth were breaking and rotting at an alarming rate. Using and trying to remove adhesive from my gums is almost worse than sitting with a floss pick digging food out of holes and cracks.
Very interesting. Thanks for the video. I'm in a holding pattern right now as to what to do with my teeth so I find your videos very informative. What is the standard treatment for infection around the implant? Antibiotics or removal of implant? I only ask because I have lousy dental insurance. Lol Thanks again.
You're welcome, thanks very much for watching. Since implants are different than teeth, infections around implants tend to occur around the top of the implant, not down at the tip of the implant in the jawbone like they can with a tooth. If it's caught early, treating it usually involves cleaning around the implant and showing the person how to keep it clean at home. Once you lose bone around an implant, then it gets tricky. Best would be to remove the implant. Some dentists and specialists will try to surgically clean the implant and place a bone graft around it. The results of that procedure aren't great. The newer implant designs that are popular nowadays tend to hold bone better than older implant designs.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental Thank you so much for the explanation. You've been a great help. We need more dentists like you who are willing to take the time to answer questions instead of just walking out of the office when they're finished.
Thanks for the video! I am currently waiting for my 4 lower posts to integrate and had 7 extractions, two of which were wisdom teeth. (6 mos @ affordable denture) I have a new traditional top denture and temp on bottom. Obviously I am not happy at the moment 2 weeks in LOL. If I am not happy with 4 snaps when done, will I be able to put a new All on 4 prosthetic on my 4 posts later??? Or are the 4 imlants done different for the snap on rather than all on 4 system??
Hi, it will depend on where the implants were placed. Technically, snap in dentures are more forgiving with implant placement. An "all on 4" type of prosthetic needs a lot more restorative space ( the distance from the the tops of the implants to the biting surface of the teeth) than a snap in denture. Though sometimes custom posts and a cement retained fixed bridge can be made. Always discuss all your options before you have any teeth pulled or implants placed. Think of dental implants as being the foundation of a house. The type of house you can place on the foundation will depend on what the foundation can hold.
Hi, you can find the snaps on Amazon and Ebay, just make sure they are the same brand as the ones in your overdenture. If the snaps need to be re-embedded in the acrylic, you will need to see your dentist.
Hello I started losing my upper teeth maybe some 7 or 8 years ago and just didn’t care anymore . I was working on them 11 years ago and then January 13 , 2014 I lost my 17 yr old son (my first born) and stopped taking care of my self and I barely leave the house since then. That being said I haven’t smiled either for 10 years . I’m now in a much better place and unfortunately so much damage (bone loss ) due to no teeth. Question is where do I start (I have no upper and I only have 2 bottom front teeth that spread apart ) . This is very embarrassing for me and the reason preventing me to walk in a dentist office . First I wouldn’t know what type of dentist I should go to? Thank you
What do I need to be able to play trumpet again after 30 toothless years? Getting free whatever and really don't want invasive surgery. Wouldn't 3 pegs be most stable?
Hi, a little bit of food will get under a denture. Not as much with a snap in denture. If the person has fixed implant teeth, food will get under them as well.
What do you do if your dentures have hairline fractures on the bottom teeth and after 30 days they glue they used make them fall out and this is all before the mesh gets put in. Do I need new dentures or are these fixable to where I can bite without losing four teeth. 0:53
Yes they do. Most people need to use superfloss or a proxybrush to clean underneath an all on 4. The underside of the all on 4 also needs to be properly shaped so that it can be cleaned, otherwise you'll get a bad taste and odor if you can't clean it.
I am new to dentures and I have tried the powder, adhesive , cushioning and I have severe allergies the first thing my swelled so my cheeks swelled I had a severe allergic reaction, then I tried strips, gooey glue I through up the entire day I can’t use anything. I have kept myself secluded from families friends church and I work from home because I always had Perfect teeth until a back injury and all the meds I was on at 46yrs old I had my first cavity then teeth started crumbling now I have no teeth. I want to try the two implants. But Dr why are the so Expensive, I was comparing prices they all start $14,000-33,000 Is there any financial help without applying for care credit, Why don’t dentist do probonowork foundation like they do when out of the USA assistant when so many Americans are really in true need for dental postfly it
My issue is having a Tori on the roof of my mouth I must get this. Or full mouth implants. Which is expensive. The other issue is I have sinus issues thus feel the top will not stay in with just 2 implants on top. I am fearful I need 4 on top and 4 on bottom. The dentist is telling me he can avoid the sinus on top? Is that possible? And can I eventually get 4 on 1 permanent implants using the same implants?
Hi, tori can be removed. I always recommend 4 implants for upper snap in dentures. Sinus lifts are usually not a big deal unless you have no bone over your sinus. Implants for snap in dentures may not work for all on 4 fixed teeth. This video may give you some more information, th-cam.com/video/f7TV9CsFNeE/w-d-xo.html
I prefer not to remove Tori. I do know I need bone grafting probably once top teeth are removed. Which is front bunny teeth 🦷 I am a nervous dental patient. Thank you for your videos 🌷
Hi the cost will vary from office to office and depending on what you need for your situation. This video, th-cam.com/video/XncG8ApzcMk/w-d-xo.html will give you an idea as to the costs involved.
يحاول الناس أن يقنعوا أنفسهم بالبديل عن أسنانهم الطبيعية ، ولكنهم يكذبون على أنفسهم . لقد ذهبت إلى طبيب الأسنان وعمل لي طقم أسنان ، ولكن لم أتحمله أبداً ، شيء كريه جداً . فوضعته جانباً مع إلحاح طبيب الأسنان أن أزوره لكي يزيل ما يزعجني ، ولكني رفضت لأن الطقم كله يزعجني ههههههه . ليس عن الأسنان بديل إلا في الدعايات الكاذبة ، أما في الواقع فلا . والآن لم يعد أمامي إلا أن أزرع ، أو أبقى بلا أسنان

Good luck with your journey. Let me know how it turns out.
Implant replacement has pushed my timeline back from 14 JUN to 16 AUG. i was so upset it made me physically ill.
Sorry to hear, but the replacement implant needs time to heal.
@@VeryNiceSmileDental I know. But unlike GI Joe, knowing is half the battle doesn’t help with the disappointment and depression.

Getting free whatever and really don't want invasive surgery.
Wouldn't 3 pegs be most stable?
Hi, do you have traditional dentures currently? Yes, 3 implants would be more stable than 2 implants, but it costs more.
Does food get underneath the fixed dentures?
Hi, a little bit of food will get under a denture. Not as much with a snap in denture. If the person has fixed implant teeth, food will get under them as well.
Can you still taste the food when you have dentures ?
Hi, you can but not as well. Especially if the upper denture covers the roof of your mouth.
What do you do if your dentures have hairline fractures on the bottom teeth and after 30 days they glue they used make them fall out and this is all before the mesh gets put in. Do I need new dentures or are these fixable to where I can bite without losing four teeth. 0:53
Hi, a hair line fracture should be repairable.
Doesn't it effect the way your food taste because you're pallet is covered?
Hi, a full denture will cover your palate and can affect your sense of taste, an upper snap in denture doesn't.
Do permanent all on 4s get crap underneath them ?
Yes they do. Most people need to use superfloss or a proxybrush to clean underneath an all on 4. The underside of the all on 4 also needs to be properly shaped so that it can be cleaned, otherwise you'll get a bad taste and odor if you can't clean it.

Price for the two?
Hi, costs will vary from office to office and will also depend on whether or not you need teeth removed or other services.
Food under dentures, is that suppose to happen?
Unfortunately food will always find its way under a denture.
Do you take snap in dentures out at night?
Ideally yes. That way you can clean the dentures and implant posts, and it gives your gums a chance to rest overnight.
Same problem for me but I am very poor I am Bangladeshi.
How much does this cost ?
Hi the cost will vary from office to office and depending on what you need for your situation. This video, th-cam.com/video/XncG8ApzcMk/w-d-xo.html will give you an idea as to the costs involved.

Hi where is your location at?
Hi, my office is in Elmsford, NY, USA. www.verynicesmile.com
Why can't I find a dentist that will do this. They only want to do full implants.
Hi, are you in the USA?
But so expensive.
Great learning video but way too long, keep it simple.
Thank you for the feedback and thanks very much for watching!
They are cosmetically. Nice however, functionally horrible. As I put it, it’s a great way to lose weight.
Hi, are you talking about a lower full denture?
Can you explain why you feel they are not functional? I would imagine the snap in is more functional than a traditional denture.
