Until the ridiculous price of implants comes down, I'll use other options. There seems to be no more fillings or crowns; it's all extractions and implants. Dentists and Periodontists have quite a nice money making racket going; have lost faith in every one of them.
They are expensive. I have five spread out over 15 years. They are all still in and not having any problems. Cost is about as much as an old used car. So far I’ve had a good return on my money. The technology for analyzing the bone structure and the procedure has improved a lot over the years.
Thank you sir. I live up in Canuck land and will be dealing with this situation this week. You seem knowledgable and straight up. Too bad you're not close. Cheers!
I wish I would've seen this video earlier. I just got a partial with one tooth. Dentist neglected to tell me that you were supposed to take it out before every meal. They told me to take it out at night and put it back in the next day. I called and told them it was difficult and painful to eat with and that's when they said it was only for cosmetic purposes and that I couldn't eat with it. I told them that some of us like to have lunch or dinner out with friends and I shouldn't have to pull my one tooth out for every meal, but they kept repeating how I couldn't eat with it in. Now I am looking at other options. I would suggest to everyone to make sure your dentist give you all of the facts before you waste your money like I did.
I will be having one of my upper front tooth removed here shortly, trying to figure out what to replace it with. Great video!! Very informative to on point!!
I'm so glad I found this video!! I still had a baby tooth and it had to be pulled due to decay. I thought my only options were an implant or a bridge but wanted to weigh my options since it's in the front. So glad I found this video 🙏🏽
Being quoted over 10k for an implant, with insurance. So id love to have it done but not sure I want to spend that much money, its going to cost as much as my car, absolutely insane.
To think that the government in so many countries classifies dentistry as cosmetic and it is so sad. For me, It is more than cosmetic, it is our health in risk. Through a rotten tooth there are way to transport bacteria through our blood and damage our heart, it affect our psychologic and cause depression, affect in our chance of getting a good job, relationship, insecurity, pain and death. I lost my grandfather because of a inflamated tooth. He had sepsys and died, at a very young age . My father was orphan of father when he was only 4 yeas old, and when my father grow up he decided to remove all his teeth and place denture, he had the trauma of losing his father, it was 60 years ago. It is sad that so many people suffer in UK and around the world becouse of lack of dental care.
Sometimes it is not your option. Cigna would not pay for my wife's implant, they only pay for the least expensive option, which in her case was a removable bridge. We went ahead and did the implant for about $5,000 total, Cigna paid for the extraction $350 and $550 (50% of what a removable bridge would cost). Always get any work over $200 pre-authorized so you know what they will pay ahead of time.
I had Cigna Insurance and they are a joke. They wouldn't even pay for a root canal. I dropped them and went with another company this year. So much better.
Lots of DIY partial dentures available today that costs less than $15.... Realistic tooth resin set from Amazon costs $8 plus tooth repair beads $5 (mold it to act as your gums or a bridge) , they last for weeks depending on your tolerance to the beads turning yellow eventually, best of all you can eat with it...once you know the drill thru trial and error it takes less than 5 minutes for the whole process to finish, here in Canada I got quoted $1,200😢 for a single tooth this was why I discoverered and concocted my own DIY
I got sick at work years and years ago and vomited into an automatic flush commode. My removable went along for the ride. Don't think I would've wanted it back anyway 😄
Thank you for your honesty my son is 17 and getting his braces off and is missing 1 tooth not one orthodontist that he seen ( 3 )mentioned he would have the option of a flipper they all said implant option only and is never covered by insurance so I decided to go with flipper with another dentist for 450$ versus 4 k plus
@Article: Thanks doc. I am very satisfied with my front upper left tooth implant. And yes it took almost a year. But you guys are great. It cost me over 2000 USD, no fun but worth it. Always scared of infections, but over a year without infections. Just 4x daily clean/brush/floss.
I had mine (missing front tooth) fixed with fixed dental bridge because the adjacent tooth also showed some cracks. It’s been 4 years more of less and I couldn’t be happier. A bit expensive but not as much as a full implant too.
Helo I went to dental clinic today to get implant ( cause i dont want to cut my oher two teeth) but they told me i dont have enough space for the implant rather they told me to put dental bridge hmmmm what do you recommend me ? Please let me know Thanks
I was missing my two that are between the Two Front and the Canines Since Birth. Original Dentist hooked me up with a Retainer to keep these apart and until I got old enough for Permanent Replacements. Got them when I was 16. A False Tooth ( one for each side ) Glued to Metal Wings and them Glued to the Front and Canines. Problem was, Didn't add enough Glue.... First one Popped out when I was in my Late 20's. No Dentist would glue it back in, since they were Not the Original Dentist. Second One Fell around the first of this year, 2023 because it had Less Glue, So Food and Gunk got between It and my Tooth and Slowly over the years, Rotted My Front Tooth. So Now I am Missing that one also... And now I look like a Southern Inbred Missing my Front Teeth. Left to Right... Canine, Gone, Gone, Front, Gone, Canine... And only making 1300 a Month on Disability, I can't Afford a Dentist to Replace them...
Ask around. Someone might be willing to help. Also. Look into a Care Credit card. They do long-term payments, but you MUST make a minimum payment monthly and have it paid off by the end. If you had a bill of 2400 over 2 years, I'd pay 150+ a month. Then, you'd be golden.
So informative, thank you. Have been stressing until I watched this. Not an easy process but if I can will try implant now… though really scared of surgery
How can you floss the teeth next to the fake tooth with a resin bonded bridge? Does food get stuck to the “wings” in the back? What if you get food stuck in between teeth in the front and now the floss can’t go all the way through because the wings are blocking it.
I had an implant done on a from tooth. #7. Shortly after, I have pain on both sides of the implant. Now I need root canal. I believe the dentist caused nerve damage to both side of my teeth.
my first three unit bridge on my lower teeth lasted 11 years before it snapped off. my five unit double bridge on my lower teeth lasted six years before some decay on one of the teeth needed to be root canaled. my second five unit bridge on my lower teeth cracked at a weak spot after 3.5 years. they seem to not last a lifetime.yes i flossed under them all the time.
I got hit in the mouth and pushed up my front tooth then waited too long to get checked on and had an abcess form. It spread to the two adjacent teet so they needed root canals. So getting a bridge isnt a big deal since those two teeth need to be capped anyway. A freak accident can be expensive
I had a maryland bridge for a year while waiting for my implant process to follow it’s course. I got a front tooth extracted and a bridge placed. Then I had my implant placed 5-6 months later, then after a year total, i had the implant crown attached to a healing abutment that was placed a couple weeks earlier.
Great video, i have a question. Can i use these procedures for 2 front missing teeth? Im using acrylic now (take off at night), but want a permanent, longer lasting and more natural looking front teeth. Thank you and stay safe 👍🏼
Found out last week I need two teeth at the front removing. If I go for implants I need a bone graft as I had an infection that's got into the bone. Total for two teeth in the UK is £9,000 (near $12,000). That was a wow moment.
@@lifewithhope...5806 I lost 3 front teeth. I also need additional gum work to go around the front implants for them to look and also feel comfortable. If you don't get the gum work, they also will be gappy with black triangles in between the teeth that make them look ugly. If you choice to get front implants....please consider a periodontist that has extentive training in this type of advanve dental work. It might be a little more expensive but in the end so much worth it. NEVER EVER GO TO JUST A "REGULAR DENTIST" FOR THIS TYPE OF ADVANCED DENTAL WORK.....more then likely you'll end up disappointed and ripped off with some run of the mill general dentist. AGAIN, get yourself a well trained 'PERIODONTIST" in your area and make sure they show you pictures of their work. GOOD LUCK
Thank you Dr. Your video is greatly informative and helpful. Exactly what i needed. I'm a Dr.myself, not a dentist though, I got a loose front tooth,I was advised by my dentist to remove it,even though it's loose but its not painful.Amy ways,my Dr. Wasn't even able to explain or just wasn't willing to address my questions and concerns. You adressed and answered almost everything. I was thinking about getting an implant but because i have to travel abroad for almost a year and due to time restriction,You have helped me decide to not to opt for an implant atleast for now. Really appreciate your efforts. Thanks alot.Best of Luck
12 years ago i had a brutal chemo. I also had a mouth full of beautiful crowns Last year my front teeth began to break off at the gum line! I didnt know that chemo would cause my enamel- less teeth to break down. Cacium is compromised with chemo. Devastated... but alive!
I think because of chemo the state will help u with dental implants I would look in to it . I’ve been doing a lot of research and I remember seeing that if u had cancer or chemo they would pay the state would pay.
I also had chemo and lost many teeth from it in 2004 , Insurance would not pay ,They said we don’t pay for cosmetic ,only the illness,Dental implants way to expensive out of pocket ,😢SMH , Like I asked for cancer 😮
Hey Doc, or anyone else... What if i had a missing tooth on the bottom front left front tooth??!? What's the BEST ad cheapest option for me sir?!, Thanks, hope to hear from you soon!!
What is it when the substance they use for a bone graft, instead of hardening like it’s supposed to, turns soft when they try to put the implant in after a six month period, but your bones are healthy?
The grafting material that is used does not harden in that sense, it is a mere scaffold so you can grow your own bone cells. Many aspects can affect how well this works . Exposure or partial exposure of the grafting site, for instance, can negatively impact the healing process. If that happens, the grafted area may stay soft because only gunky, fibrous stuff has developed. That material can be removed and after some healing you might be able to try again with a different approach--maybe using a membrane, a different growth factor (a substance that supports the growing of bone cells), etc.. You will not get an implant when there is not sufficient bone.
I have a fairly weird situation. I had broken my two front teeth as a child. One was just chipped and it was fitted with a basic cap. The other one, however, I had sheered the entire back of the tooth and exposed the nerve. For years I had a cap that covered the back to the tooth but after about seven years the nerve started to die. A root canal was performed and I was fitted with another cap over that. Another seven years later, I was in Naval boot camp and the dentist decided I needed a replacement cap as the tooth was still decaying underneath. So, he fitted me with a temporary while my more permanent cap was being created. That temp fell out only hours later, so I went back and he added more adhesive. The next day they called me back to give me my permanent cap. While the dentist was attempting to remove the temporary he snapped off what was left of the natural tooth above the gumline! ACK!! So, instead I was fitted with a Post/Crown to replace the missing part of that tooth. For 30yrs I had this Post/Crown and it was great! Loved it! Then, during Covid lockdowns, it simply fell out. No trauma, I wasn't hit in the mouth, I didn't eat a sticky caramel apple, it just slipped out. Well, because it was during the lockdowns, I wasn't able to get to a dentist to have it recemented back in. Over time, the root shaft cracked and part of it fell out as well. So, now I know I can't just simply have the crown re-cemented back in place. What's even more frustrating is I live paycheck to paycheck and a front, full crown is considered "cosmetic" by my dental insurance company! I'm devastated! I can't smile in public at all! I'm a wreck! It's also been having an effect on my speech as well as my eating. I can't bite anything with my front teeth. I do take care to constantly clean out the cavity but what should I do?
My guess is remainder of tooth(root) removed before any external bacteria settles. Insurance will pay for extraction. There is cosmetic retainer type to slip on which can be removed for eating.
I asked Kriss and it said that if the tooth he lost are still his baby teeth, space maintainers might be recommended to keep the space open for the permanent tooth to come out properly. But I think it's still best if you consult with a pediatric dentist to discuss the best option for your son 🥺.
Europe and mexico has dental work for less than half price of the u.s.a...so get a plane ticket and go get yourself all the implants u want for a couple hundred bucks a piece....or canada....
I am 45 and had my eye tooth knocked loose when a student punched me in the face. It cracked and just fell out. I need an implant bc a partial isn't working and I haven't even used it bc the lab hasn't done it right 3 times now! I need an implant but I cannot afford it on a teacher salary. Is there any way you could help me, Dr. Langston? I am desperate, embarrassed and humiliated, even though it wasn't my fault.
If after extraction a bone graph is necessary it takes 3 months to heal before the implant can be put in. My question is, during these 3 months while the bone heals, will I be toothless or can you put in a temporary tooth?
HAD A CHIP TOOTH 2 YEARS AGO HAD TO GET A CROWN CAP EXTRACTION 4 mths later it cracked NOW IM BACK TO HAVING A MISSING TOOTH AGAIN MY MOUTH IN PAIN NOW😔
I fought against having any teeth extracted and the dentist told me "the cavity is too big to refill" and there's too much damage for another tooth none of these were my wisdoms which I also didn't want them removed. I didn't win that fight. The dentist 🦷 pull out my teeth and now my smile gaps are huge that they look like I have missing teeth in the front. 😭
For a front tooth with an existing crown that popped off and the tooth broke off in the crown, would the resin bonded bridge be an acceptable temporary solution to let the grafted bone heal? Then in six months to a year when the implant is done and the new crown placed, the resin bonded bridge could be replaced with the implant/crown?
Hi Doc. Am 60yrs old. What is your take away planning to have a molar implant on my molar in the future? Thank you in advance. From Barcelona, Spain ♥️
The best options it is to regrow natural ,real teeth with amelogenin and bioactive film,(ready from 1994, or with stem cell teeth that with the actual technology,(from 2011),regrows only in 9 weeks but because of dental lobbies and corrupted politicians,we can't have them.
I'm so embarrassed I lost my front tooth as a kid sndbit has been replaced a lot of times know that I'm an adult and recently divorced after 28 years (,yes I'm old I need the front replaced ASAP but i make minimum wage a little more but live pay check to paycheck but i csntb not hsve my front tooth help ..pls
Let's make one thing clear: you absolutely cannot eat with a flipper in your mouth! They are the most uncomfortable, unreliable things to put in your mouth.
Thanks for the video. One of my upper front teeth is wobling and I guess it will come out soon. The problem is that the adjacent incisive is displaced and stands behind. Could I still use a bridge? UuV ('u' is the displaced incisive standing behind, 'V' is the canine)
@Pareesa Gabol in England most people do not spend the money on pearly white perfect row piano teeth. Typically their teeth are a little off color and jagged…women and men alike, of most socioeconomic strata, except the very rich. As a matter of fact, the British feel that perfect teeth are unnatural and a symbol of self centered narcissism
So I am missing the number 3 right, I had a soccer accident. Went to what was claimed to be a reasonably priced good dentist, and he quoted me the following to replace the one tooth: a. remove tiny bit of tooth still in gap: $500 b. power clean right quadrant of mouth with ultrasound wand: $700 c. prepare gap with screw to bone: $2k d. make and cement new crown: $2k The dentist drove a mercedes and wore a rolex. This is high way robbery…however wherever I go essentially the cost hovers around $5,500-$6,500 Total $5,500 including tax
I lost my front tooth a dentist was ask $ between $5000 and $ 7000 for one tooth implant I search on web side india charge $200 one tooth implant I will go to India
I stf don't want to have anyone poking me with any needles where indoor plumbing may or may not be an option. F that. They use "low caste" people to scoop shite w their bare hands from latrines. Yeah...um. no. It was in National Geographic.
Of course, loss of a tooth also results in lowered mileage of your car, increased chance of hurricanes and natural disasters like earthquakes and floods. Everybody knows that the biggest impact of extraction of teeth is global warming.
@@myyoutube7228 you are a dentist right? That's why you are mad at my question? YeAaah I'm mean you might be right but that doesn't mean I'm wrong, there's no proper study conducted on this topic. Dentist are not doctors so they don't know about what is going on internally in the body.
I know loads of people with missing teeth. This hasn't affected Them this way? I'm not saying its not right but that's quite a question. Is there any proof of this?
You have absolutely saved me from spending a lot of money. Some dentists don't tell you all the options. I'm so thankful to your advice
Dentists tell you just their option😢😢😢😢😢😢

You are absolutely right! Dentistry is one of the biggest ripoffs in the world.
EXACTLY
They are expensive. I have five spread out over 15 years. They are all still in and not having any problems. Cost is about as much as an old used car. So far I’ve had a good return on my money. The technology for analyzing the bone structure and the procedure has improved a lot over the years.
@William Massey The cost is the price of a new car! My son was just quoted 50K. Full mouth.
Hes going to Mexico. Much less expensive
Yes, i do not trust any dentists, they really don’t care, they are just in it to extract as much money from us as possible……Same goes for vets!

does baking soda in toothpaste weaken the glue that holds crowns on?
Thank you very informative video doctor!
Any advice on best option to treat a 2nd molar with a dead nerve?
I had an implant after an extraction (tooth resorption issue). It's a long term process. Over a year for me, so don't plan on any quick fix here.
Very informative, thank you.
I'm glad you found the video helpful!
12 years ago i had a brutal chemo.
I also had a mouth full of beautiful crowns
Last year my front teeth began to break off at the gum line! I didnt know that chemo would cause my enamel- less teeth to break down. Cacium is compromised with chemo.
Devastated... but alive!
I think because of chemo the state will help u with dental implants I would look in to it . I’ve been doing a lot of research and I remember seeing that if u had cancer or chemo they would pay the state would pay.
I also had chemo and lost many teeth from it in 2004 , Insurance would not pay ,They said we don’t pay for cosmetic ,only the illness,Dental implants way to expensive out of pocket ,😢SMH , Like I asked for cancer 😮
First I see a dream that I’m gonna lose my front tooth, then TH-cam recommends me this video 😅
its not that bad.. i still get bitches
Why would my dentist remove my front tooth then tell me I need to heal 6 mo before placing the fixed bridge? He didn’t give me a temporary either 🤔
Hey Doc, or anyone else... What if i had a missing tooth on the bottom front left front tooth??!? What's the BEST ad cheapest option for me sir?!, Thanks, hope to hear from you soon!!
My own experience bridge is the worst the solution which affected me personally, because you are messing up and damaging the adjacent healthy teeth !
That's crazy
South Korea is the place to go for quality and cost savings. I am not sure if implants can be done quickly there though
There is another options a single tooth denture more cheap
Or go to india it only cost $200 one tooth implant or Thailand
$100
Hi
Could you please tell me about this option
Thank you
@@ibti1984 it’s a partial denture only for one tooth very convenient
By the time you book a flight it’s going to cost the same as an implant
What is it when the substance they use for a bone graft, instead of hardening like it’s supposed to, turns soft when they try to put the implant in after a six month period, but your bones are healthy?
The grafting material that is used does not harden in that sense, it is a mere scaffold so you can grow your own bone cells. Many aspects can affect how well this works . Exposure or partial exposure of the grafting site, for instance, can negatively impact the healing process. If that happens, the grafted area may stay soft because only gunky, fibrous stuff has developed. That material can be removed and after some healing you might be able to try again with a different approach--maybe using a membrane, a different growth factor (a substance that supports the growing of bone cells), etc.. You will not get an implant when there is not sufficient bone.

In Uganda, a fixed bridge takes 48hours, n it costs about $150. @TOP DENTAL CLINIC,
.Am suprized it takes 3-4 weeks in the US.
Lol impossible to do it in 48 hrs
Love the brotherly love shout out😂❤
what is the cost of a fixed dental bridge for three teeth?
I’m 42yo and I have two baby teeth (canines), the right one has become loose just recently and I don’t know what to do 😢
Yes i lost my one tooth in a car accident unfortunately 😢 and yeah until now i dont know what to do my teeth is so ugly now
I have a fairly weird situation.
I had broken my two front teeth as a child. One was just chipped and it was fitted with a basic cap.
The other one, however, I had sheered the entire back of the tooth and exposed the nerve. For years I had a cap that covered the back to the tooth but after about seven years the nerve started to die. A root canal was performed and I was fitted with another cap over that.
Another seven years later, I was in Naval boot camp and the dentist decided I needed a replacement cap as the tooth was still decaying underneath. So, he fitted me with a temporary while my more permanent cap was being created. That temp fell out only hours later, so I went back and he added more adhesive. The next day they called me back to give me my permanent cap. While the dentist was attempting to remove the temporary he snapped off what was left of the natural tooth above the gumline! ACK!!
So, instead I was fitted with a Post/Crown to replace the missing part of that tooth.
For 30yrs I had this Post/Crown and it was great! Loved it!
Then, during Covid lockdowns, it simply fell out. No trauma, I wasn't hit in the mouth, I didn't eat a sticky caramel apple, it just slipped out.
Well, because it was during the lockdowns, I wasn't able to get to a dentist to have it recemented back in. Over time, the root shaft cracked and part of it fell out as well. So, now I know I can't just simply have the crown re-cemented back in place.
What's even more frustrating is I live paycheck to paycheck and a front, full crown is considered "cosmetic" by my dental insurance company!
I'm devastated! I can't smile in public at all! I'm a wreck!
It's also been having an effect on my speech as well as my eating. I can't bite anything with my front teeth.
I do take care to constantly clean out the cavity but what should I do?
😢 me too
My guess is remainder of tooth(root) removed before any external bacteria settles. Insurance will pay for extraction. There is cosmetic retainer type to slip on which can be removed for eating.
My concerns is the the bonding glue toxic?
I don’t want no metal in my mouth I would elect for a non metal option I know it’s at least one out there
Dr Brett my 12 year old son lost his front tooth whilst playing soccer. What's our best option?
I asked Kriss and it said that if the tooth he lost are still his baby teeth, space maintainers might be recommended to keep the space open for the permanent tooth to come out properly. But I think it's still best if you consult with a pediatric dentist to discuss the best option for your son 🥺.
@@allisondarcy Hey can you tell me more about that kriss?
@@allisondarcy Thanks for your response! My son hates going to the dentists so i'll have to figure out a way to make him go lol
@@olivia990x maybe tell him the dentist’s just checking to make sure he's all set for the next soccer game. kids love that competitive edge, right? 😂
Europe and mexico has dental work for less than half price of the u.s.a...so get a plane ticket and go get yourself all the implants u want for a couple hundred bucks a piece....or canada....
I am 45 and had my eye tooth knocked loose when a student punched me in the face. It cracked and just fell out. I need an implant bc a partial isn't working and I haven't even used it bc the lab hasn't done it right 3 times now! I need an implant but I cannot afford it on a teacher salary. Is there any way you could help me, Dr. Langston? I am desperate, embarrassed and humiliated, even though it wasn't my fault.
I would just put it on my Christmas list, maybe I can get two😂
Do you have referrals for Minnesota with your knowledge?
*nice video apart form that stupid side angle view! so distracting going back and forth! just use the front view one! thanks for the info* 💪👍
Thanks for the tip!
If after extraction a bone graph is necessary it takes 3 months to heal before the implant can be put in. My question is, during these 3 months while the bone heals, will I be toothless or can you put in a temporary tooth?
You’ll get a party tooth.😂
GREAT VIDEO....thanks.
How much is one
HAD A CHIP TOOTH 2 YEARS AGO HAD TO GET A CROWN CAP EXTRACTION 4 mths later it cracked NOW IM BACK TO HAVING A MISSING TOOTH AGAIN MY MOUTH IN PAIN NOW😔
Which is the best an implant or bridge
Shanty
mine got rejected and am now waiting for the next try...they say they will use a thicker titanium screw I believe :(
I fought against having any teeth extracted and the dentist told me "the cavity is too big to refill" and there's too much damage for another tooth none of these were my wisdoms which I also didn't want them removed. I didn't win that fight. The dentist 🦷 pull out my teeth and now my smile gaps are huge that they look like I have missing teeth in the front. 😭
Did it hurt
For a front tooth with an existing crown that popped off and the tooth broke off in the crown, would the resin bonded bridge be an acceptable temporary solution to let the grafted bone heal? Then in six months to a year when the implant is done and the new crown placed, the resin bonded bridge could be replaced with the implant/crown?
Hi Doc. Am 60yrs old. What is your take away planning to have a molar implant on my molar in the future? Thank you in advance. From Barcelona, Spain ♥️
My tooth broke off. 25 percent missing. For $100 I got a bonding. It's lasted 2 yrs. I eat everything
what about crown lengthening ?
is crown lengthening a better option than implants ?@@stylez561wpbrivierabeachda7
what is the maximum number of teeth that can be made up in a permanent bridge .. i have 3 missing front teeth
The best options it is to regrow natural ,real teeth with amelogenin and bioactive film,(ready from 1994, or with stem cell teeth that with the actual technology,(from 2011),regrows only in 9 weeks but because of dental lobbies and corrupted politicians,we can't have them.
I'm so embarrassed I lost my front tooth as a kid sndbit has been replaced a lot of times know that I'm an adult and recently divorced after 28 years (,yes I'm old I need the front replaced ASAP but i make minimum wage a little more but live pay check to paycheck but i csntb not hsve my front tooth help ..pls
Let's make one thing clear: you absolutely cannot eat with a flipper in your mouth! They are the most uncomfortable, unreliable things to put in your mouth.
Implant can go in day 1 after tooth is pulled
I love my implants. but I am 12,000 dollars poorer, but to be able to eat corn on the cob without fear of a tooth coming out? priceless
Looks like most dentists are getting rich , while the patients end up in the poor house 😮😮.
Thanks for the video. One of my upper front teeth is wobling and I guess it will come out soon. The problem is that the adjacent incisive is displaced and stands behind. Could I still use a bridge? UuV ('u' is the displaced incisive standing behind, 'V' is the canine)
Why are dental implants so expensive. It's ridiculous
@Pareesa Gabol in England most people do not spend the money on pearly white perfect row piano teeth. Typically their teeth are a little off color and jagged…women and men alike, of most socioeconomic strata, except the very rich. As a matter of fact, the British feel that perfect teeth are unnatural and a symbol of self centered narcissism
So I am missing the number 3 right, I had a soccer accident. Went to what was claimed to be a reasonably priced good dentist, and he quoted me the following to replace the one tooth:
a. remove tiny bit of tooth still in gap: $500
b. power clean right quadrant of mouth with ultrasound wand: $700
c. prepare gap with screw to bone: $2k
d. make and cement new crown: $2k
The dentist drove a mercedes and wore a rolex.
This is high way robbery…however wherever I go essentially the cost hovers around $5,500-$6,500
Total $5,500 including tax

Does tooth extraction promote cognitive decline or Dementia or brain degeneration or vision loss?
Of course, loss of a tooth also results in lowered mileage of your car, increased chance of hurricanes and natural disasters like earthquakes and floods. Everybody knows that the biggest impact of extraction of teeth is global warming.
@@myyoutube7228 you are a dentist right? That's why you are mad at my question?
YeAaah I'm mean you might be right but that doesn't mean I'm wrong, there's no proper study conducted on this topic. Dentist are not doctors so they don't know about what is going on internally in the body.
It promote jaw bone loss, implant will keep the bone but costly
@@myyoutube7228😂😂😂😂😂😂
I know loads of people with missing teeth. This hasn't affected Them this way? I'm not saying its not right but that's quite a question. Is there any proof of this?
Implants are just too expensive. Many can never get them and end up in dentures.
