This is so beautiful! I just got a top set dentures on January 17th, 2018. My teeth problems started as well with pregnancy, stripping enamel away, I have saliva that creates cavities and en ex smashed my head into the floor, chipped an eye tooth and that was it. You guys help me so much emotionally right now. Feeling sad and ugly when I take my denture out. I don’t want anyone to see. I’m happy that I’m not in pain and don’t have yucky teeth but still it’s bitter sweet! Much love ladies! Thank you 🙏
I myself have been in deep denial. All my life I had bad teeth but got worse when I became pregnant. Yesterday my front tooth fell out 😢 and I’m in a such a dark place. So Monday I plan to visit a place to talk about Dentures. I’m young and I’m scared. So please pray for me doing this journey. Thank you in Advance.
Renesha M The same thing happened to me and I’m only 32 & have a 15 year old Son who will obviously start dating soon and I don’t want him to be embarrassed to bring home a girlfriend and be embarrassed by my teeth, so yeah, I myself have also been in a very dark place and have cried the past week but I’m praying and trusting God. I pray everything works out for you Doll & you get back to life and your happiness comes back. Good Luck & God Bless You
Renesha M same here both my pregnancy my teeth got worse and now I am 24 with only a few teeth left and I really wanna try dentures so I can smile pretty again some people just don’t know what it’s like to have bad teeth it’s heartbreaking I hate smiling bc of it now and I just wish I could afford dentures
This is so adorable!! You've changed so many lives by speaking out on this. I love changing peoples lives and being a part of that journey! I hope my channel reaches out to people like this
Thank you beautiful ladies so much for doing this video! I've been following K for a month or two, and I'm currently in the process of deciding to get full dentures. I need you ladies sharing this information, and you are heroes to those of us who are terrified!! Love you both
Im 31 and Mom of two. I'm going on Tuesday to start the process for my dentures. I've been without for almost a month. I love seeing these videos. Kristi, like Amy, you are my hero Girl! I'm grateful in knowing that I am not alone. I appreciate the time you've dedicated to helping so many others. Amy, you're beautiful. Your teeth are amazing. And I'm sooooooo looking forward to getting started! I'm curious though, how many appointments did it take to have yours in hand?!
Amy D I guess it is pretty different for everyone then. I'm just so excited and anxious about everything. I'm ready to have a beautiful smile again. It's been far too long.
I am currently binge watching all of your vlogs ❤️ I have finally come to the point where I need to get all my top teeth out what’s left anyway 😌 you have definitely inspired me & given me more confidence to see it through!! I’m still devastated though 🥲 Thanks so much for these videos 😍
Feelgood video! I'm a clinical technician (denturist) and I'm setting up some phonares teeth now and it always feels good to make people's smiles and lives better 😂😁
Before going on you tube and watching kalinjax videos I couldn't even bring myself to say the word "denture". Thank you for doing what you're doing! You re helping so many people!
Holly Prchlik I myself couldn't either "denture" was like a 4 letter word for me, she literally changed my entire life by telling her story only regret I have is that I didn't do it sooner and saved myself all the suffering.
I'm on disability and my teeth are chipping off and I'm in so much pain but I can't afford to get them fixed!! I just want to smile again and be pain free!!! I'll never be able to save up for this when I can't even work!! It sucks!!! I've been watching your videos and I dream to have a beautiful smile like yours!!!
Oh my gosh I love this!!! I love her story! Mine is very similar. I googled the same young people with dentures and starting watching your videos! I got my dentures a little over two years ago and just recently I was asked to be a part of a reality tv show and they surprised me on camera with the news that I was getting the all on fours! I wanted to get on here and comment just to tell you thank you! You bring hope and peace to so many people struggling with getting dentures and thank you for being such an inspiration!
Amy, your teeth are beautiful. You are Blessed that someone cared about you. I have reflux also, not to mention years of steroid use due to some severe diseases, I had lost most of my teeth. I begged for help but I couldn't afford to go from dentist to dentist to get help. I ended up trying the Go Fund Me thing from face book and ended up with $300, thats it! So I went to my church family and I got another $1,000, still not enough to get dentures. My husband had to get a loan from his 401K and I ended up with a dentist who had a coupon in a local flyer. This was the worst experience of my life! It only went from bad to worse....these dentures looked like horse teeth. They didn't fit, I was in constant pain, and I didn't know what to do. My husband had to go back and take another $5,000 from our 401K and I ended up at Aspen. I am still only in my temps because Aspen had to pull another tooth on the bottom that this first quack didn't pull. I hate these dentures too...they hurt and my mouth bleeds and I've told the dentist and they just keep adding more reline material. I just don't know what the answer is for people that can't afford to run to a bunch of dentists. I hate all the adhesives I have to shove in my mouth because of the fit. I have even used the DenSureFit that everyone is clammering about, but my teeth still don't stay in. Besides all that I haven't even begun to tell you how ugly I think these teeth are. It is so hard when you are sick to begin with and you have to look ugly too. Well, I just had to get this off my chest because I am so saddened by the way I look now. I am married so I don't have to worry about dating, but shouldn't I be able to look pretty for my husband too, no matter how long we've been married? I thank God for a husband who loves me anyhow, not matter what! Again...you both are Blessed you could afford to get nice teeth.
Oh Faye... what a horrid world it is when profit comes before People, particularly where health and basic needs are concerned. Please don't feel bad about not having any teeth (if if comes to that). A person is much more than their body parts. I hope you are able to get something sorted out though.. xx
Faye Jones I soooo know how you feel hon😕 hang in there and whatever you do fight for what you want...my problem was and is still with Aspen...they tell you one thing then try to push another...just because the dentures are a bit more affordable doesn't mean they have to look or feel horrible... I hope things get better for you... please know you aren't alone in how you feel... if you ever need someone to talk to who understands please don't hestitate to contact me 😊~hugs~
Thank you ladies, for sharing such a valuable message, by uplifting us that are facing these decisions and to not be afraid to take that leap, having the faith that our lives will change, not just for ourselves but for others that are missing out on who we really are and what we have to give with being able to smile again.
Hello kalinjax, I chance upon your channel from Google by typing in young adult wearing denture . I recently extract a tooth and I can't smile like how I use to even when others tells me that it isn't obvious . I was just broken and lost . After watching you video , I really kind of felt relieved . I'm still deciding if I'm going to do a implant or just put on a dentures. Even if I have to , at least I know that I'm not alone. Thank you for making this videos
Love this Kristi! You did an amazing job! I feel like Amy speaks for many of us when we come across your videos. By the way both of your smiles look AMAZING
After many years pain , I concluded my journey a month ago by finishing my all on four bottom jaw, having done my top jaw 3 years ago. Best decision ever. I was judged before, now people judge me for "all that money you spent on your teeth" as they put it., Thank you for your vids, No-one gets it. Greetings from the land Down Under
I'm so glad to have found this channel. I too live in jax, FL! I found you, researching my process to start my denture process. I have a wedding is coming next year, and I would LOVE to smile! After having two children, it has taken a toll on my teeth. I'm so thankful to have found you.
Do you know what Dentist in Florida that uses Ivaclar?? I am in Central Florida and I will go wherever they are. ThankYou in advance if you can tell me where to find one.
Well done ladies! I'm 51 now and am just beginning this process. For me, it's been a challenge to get past the whole, "well, I'm over 50 now, what's the big deal with just taking what's available? I'm not so concerned with appearance any more, I can deal with simply adequate, right?" Wrong. I don't want to settle. For now, I'm saving money and dealing with several sets of Imako 'shape at home' slip ins, and while I'm grateful for them, I am anxious to move forward. It will take me a few years, but I am determined. Thank you for sharing~ Samantha Whitson
So 8 months ago a decide it to remove my teeth that I have been struggling with. Unfortunately the cost was to much. Until I did some research and I found out that here in Las Vegas the have dental school . So I walk in and the took my x-ray . And the gave me the cost to remove 15 teeth upper and lower .. the cost was amazing the total was 1975$ including my dentures.. I have to go back to get a new set because as you know your gums take some time to healed.. I made a appointment with them for next month. The are only going to charge me 950$ for my permanent dentures.. just wanted to share my story. And for the people that are thinking about getting dentures please be patient it's definitely a long process but at the end it's well worth...
Hi Mike! I am about to start my process as well - I have dental insurance, and I found that my out of pocket (for extractions and dentures) is about the same. $2000 is a lot of money to many of us, but it is something that is SO MUCH more affordable than I ever thought it could be. I am so excited to get started. I hope that you are doing well now!
So glad I found your channel... It is helping me to deal with what I am going through. I always think I have a nice smile and I am really worried about....thanks for sharing your story............MINDY
Oh my goodness, ladies, THANK YOU, I’m in the middle of watching your videos right now and I’m so glad to know I am not alone, especially that feeling that the professionals give you, that treatment you get for not having your teeth, having to bounce around from dentist to dentist.... it’s horrible. Thank you thank you thank you!
This is so inspiring i'm turning 49 2/20/2019 my mouth is too a mess. I was told I needed an upper bridge due to a removal of a crown that got infected from being hit behind in a 5 car rear end accident on my way to work. I was car 5 of course the car that hit me had zero insurance. So i had already shelled out 1000's & 1000's up to that point. So I paid 11500.00 in 2018 to get a permanent upper denture, when I went back to be measured for it & was told the original front tooth was not strong enough for the permanent bridge. so the suggested the all in 4 so I asked my ex fiancé to co sign a loan to get it all done at once, I had already paid the 11,500.00 in 2018 the additional loan approved for 22k, when I sat down to pick the color & shape which I was so excited about only to learn last month that the loan was only for the upper, & he was going give me a credit of 4k back from the 11,500.00 towards the "all on four" . So the (this dentist) already had $11,500.00 this far in addition to what would have been $22,000.00 total for that dentist $33,500.00 that's not including what my insurance company already paid for the original extraction RX for the abscess. at the same time my lower jaw had already been being worked on for a permanent lower bridge due to another root canal going bad, already paying for bone grafting in that too. so long story short. I left the Dentists chair when I learns it was only for the upper & that same dentist had removed my temp bridge (lower) from my dentist that was helping me before the accident, they also told me the root canal was bad from the Endodontist I had also paid that dentist $1200.00 so here I sit my my 6 bottom front teeth. to the left I have 1 back tooth 2 teeth that were shaved down exposed, the opposite side is one molar broken & hurting I need neck/ back surgery & have been deemed disabled 2 days ago! I'm at a complete loss, alone & miserable! Anyway thank you I appreciate this info.
Hey Kalinjax, I am a disabled retired special needs teacher. I have so many health problems that developed to the point of not being able to do anything. I cannot afford dental insurance or dental care. I would love to have what you have but I could never be able to afford it now. I paid so many student loans for years and my hubby had a heart attack and is slowly wasting away. My story sounds like a soap opera when the complete story is revealed. I am so glad you got your teeth. I have two of my grandchildren living with me and I receive no assistance for their care. I am 57 years old and I never smile or go out in public unless it is of vital importance. I worked so hard and the depression overwhelmes me sometimes. Keep helping as many as you can. I cannot wear dentures due to a health problem so when the teeth in front go then I will never go out unless it is an emergency. Good luck to you and those who can get help.
Angela~ I can totally relate to your situation. Were you able to get any dentures that you're happy with? I am just starting this journey & would love to know if you found any that you're happy with.
Thanks ya'll, this video is very encouraging and inspiring! It was so good to see you too kalinjax! I had missed you. I love watching your videos and always tell people about them. I am 52 and have had dental problems all my life, I hate to go to the dentist, they always tell me how bad it is and talk about thousands of $$$. I am not proud to say this but I have not been in 6 years, just can't afford it. I have paid a lot of $$$, I just want new teeth. I have not even started this process and it isn't getting better. The pain goes into my jaw and to my ear, my husband has dental issues too and thinks his are worse so we are looking at Mexico to get ours done but I am doing research and you help a great deal! I hope I can find someone who carries Ivoclar down there. Keep the videos up, I look forward to them :D Congrats on your new teeth Amy! They are beautiful! You both are beautiful women~
Hi I have loved watching your videos! I am just starting my denture journey....I am only needing to get bottom dentures at this point but because of you I am going to explore getting Phonares by Ivoclur. I’m not sure if my dentist orders from Ivoclur but I am going to ask him to! Please keep making videos! This is such an Important Topic!! There is so much fear around this process but you have helped alleviate much of my fear! Thank you Kalin. Donna from Queen Creek Arizona🌵
you are my inspiration! I have severe gum disease where all my upper teeth are 9 and 10s on the verge of loosing them. Need to look into dentures soon. 😢😢
Cherrie Nguyen it is truly a life changing decision to make but one I don't regret making because it has changed my life for the better. I wish you the best of luck through your journey ❤️️❤️️❤️️
Kalinjax is my inspiration and motivation. I'm 32, and just like Amy, reached my limit of tolerance of who I've not allowed myself to be, because of my lack of self-confidence and rapidly deterorating health. I finally caved and got all of my teeth pulled on the 13th, so one week ago exactly today, and now have my immediate dentures. I admit, it's been a hell of adjustment. I am still struggling with the change. I thought sure, I'll go through a few days pain but everything else will be great. It's not like that at all. I feel like the teeth are too big and don't fit right, even though I'm going through all the adjustments and religns. It's hard for me, seeing how different my face looks ATM, from completely swollen to almost sunken. I can't eat anything besides puree, and only with the teeth out. I can't speak well - in fact, it's made me not want to communicate at all. Wearing them hurts still, still going through bleeding. I don't feel like myself. I'm sad. I'm grieving. I'm second-guessing myself and my choice. I'm insecure with them and without. I'm afraid of what my husband secretly thinks, even though he's supportive and encouraging... doubt is easily spread around, especially if it starts within yourself. I'm stressed out about this change. I'm facing all my fears ,but also, stuck in this fearful state bc the change isn't immediate. BUT I'm also optimistic and that's because of Kalinjax. She is keeping me going right now. I turn to her videos every day and reassure myself that things will get better. I will get better. My life will get better bc my outcome will ultimately be positive if I stick to my guns and follow my heart with my dental/health journey. Kalinjax reassurance is encouraging to me, I pray my story ends up like hers. Like Amy, I also feel like Kalinjax has changed my life. I'm glad to "have her with me" on this journey - her positivity, reassurance, honesty, sympathy...everything. She makes me feel like my feelings are real and valid, that it's OK to be 32 and wear dentures, it's OK to feel remorse and insecurity right now, and that I'm going to be OK in the end.
Hi Kristi! I had my first appointment with a wonderful dentist and his staff, 3 days ago! I had gone to a local dentist at a brand new office here in the town I live in, and I hated it! The dentist was not comforting at all, and I couldn't help thinking that I wouldn't want him looking after me. I watched a bunch of your videos that afternoon, and you were speaking with the lady dentist in Las Vegas, and she was saying if you don't find someone you're comfortable with, go to another one! So that's what I did. I called a Denturist's office, and asked them who they get great reviews on when people they get in from different dentists. They gave me the name of a doctor, and I looked up his web site and he sounded perfect! i got an appointment 3 hours later, and went in to meet the staff, had my jaw, neck, and teeth checked, and marked for work. When the dentist came in, he felt that we should save the ones on the bottom, but I only had 5 left on top, and they were basically garbage, so he recommended full uppers, and a partial plate on the bottom. I felt very comfortabe with that, and he said they could just add 2 extra teeth on the bottom plate I already have. What a difference!! I felt so much better about going there, and having them care for me. I am excited now about getting my immediate transition upper, and then look at a permanent set one year later. Now I'm excited about moving forward, and getting my smile back. Love you ladies!!
I’m so with you, my teeth problem started as well in my 20sss when I had my first daughter.... I wear dentures also and I don’t like my dentures..... so these videos are going to help me so much... thank you lady’s
Wow! l refuse to get implant dentures from _anyone_ who won't sit down and watch YOUR video with me! One thing l really noticed is how _flattering_ those dentures are to your facial structure Christy!! l don't know what they did but BRAVO lvoclar! You look just STUNNING with those ones! So does Amy!
Happy i found your videos.. just had mine done 3 days ago.. it's a huge shock to me I'm 35 but had no other choice i wouldn't talk to people because of how horrible my teeth were. It feels weird to show my mouth I'm extremely self conscious even though my new denture looks good. Hopefully i will get better with it
Hi Kristin and Amy! I am making my rounds once again and catching up on your latest vids. I left a message on your most recent video explaining my situation but I will post it here as well in case you have not seen it. I love you and the work you are doing. I am considering starting my own denture journey channel as well. Here is my last post I left under one of your other vids; I got immediate dentures three months ago and it has been a nightmare. The extraction procedure left me with a continuing numb sensation between upper lip and bottom of nose and the airway on the right side of my nose has collapsed, causing brand new breathing issues. My dentures are way too big and causing the bottom of my mouth to "bulge", the top denture is way too thick at the roof of my mouth, neither stay in while eating, speech impairments, etc. I am sooooo sad :( And I did this to improve my appearance and lifestyle after losing one of my children two years ago. The pain and mourning from that event really took a toll and as I began to heal from the mourning, I wanted to go ahead and take that leap into being a denture wearer in order to look and feel better as a women in my fifties. I don't know how to tell a quality denture from a cheap one because this all still new to me. You look amazing and soooo beautiful.
OMG this video makes me so so happy! I can relate so much! I've been living w horrible teeth for years.. Due to genetics, i was doomed from the start! Being a single mother of 2 teenage boys, it's just not financially possible.. My kids come first! Maybe one day I'll have a smile as beautiful as urs, one of my dreams is to simply be able to smile back at my children. Congrats on ur new life!! Xoxo
Me too!!!!!!! I'm SO ready to feel pretty again 😭 My husband just left me for a 26 year old. Just walked out on me and my 5 babies. I'm so sick of feeling ugly and worthless, and being embarrassed at work. I work in a professional position and i feel ashamed all the time. I'm ready to feel human again! Although I'm terrified of the extractions!
Thank You for this i just went to get my upper denture it's only been about 5 days...i can't talk right I can't swallow at all I'm miserable. I feel hopeless right now with the dentist I have right now...
Kaylyn Hill I'm sorry your going through all of that it can be so overwhelming not only physically but emotionally and unfortunately many times after extractions and dentures are placed the only source of information is what we find on our own many dentists don't provide information on life after extractions and can't relate like someone who has went through it. Hang in there it does get better and does take a lot of patience. I rinsed with warm salt water twice a day it seemed to help a bit and stayed away from anything that I had to chew. Thinking of you and hope that it gets better ❤️
Kaylyn Hill it will get better! I remember those things were stuck in my mouth(it was swollen ) and I thought these people gave me the wrong teeth. It is a process it does get better be nice to yourself 😘
I just had 2 more bottom teeth pulled a day and a half ago and in pain, and I have no upper teeth......I am terrified...... right now I know I have to get bottoms pulled then full dentures. I am in such agony and feel so alone. I want to run.....run so far.....it's not fair. I took great care of my teeth but 4 pregnancies later my teeth just crumbled. I feel like shit right now cuz my mouth hurts. Knowing I have 8 more to go and then I am dentures sucks. I don't wanna talk funny, or look weird, or have big bulky teeth in......I am sorry you feel so miserable as well......it is so emotionally taxing!!!! god bless all of us....
Lisa Willett if you look back at her first videos her dentures & smile was beautiful (the regular ones, they didnt look bulky ect.). I believe they made her say that for advertising these new ones. Im so sorry your situation is taking so long, wow. It's a personal loss, maybe you will be done grieving by the time you get your beautiful new smile? Seriously please look at her 1st videos to show your mind how good the regular dentures are. They look real, so will yours :)
After being in abusive relationship for 13 years I finally got help from family to leave situation. I'm trying to start over but have bad teeth live in hick town with no car. I am hopeless I am ever gonna be able to smile. I'm a single mom 4 kids with dreams and things I want to do but at my lowest and isolate myself. Dont know how I will ever get help. Seeing other people finding help gives me some hope.
You. Have. Got. This. You have already accomplished so much by choosing yourself and your kids. I have had friends that have been in abusive situations and it is not easy to pull yourself out of that. You’re doing it. Starting over is scary. It might feel like you are building from nothing but you’re wrong. Everything you have gone through so far has made you incredibly strong, powerful, capable. Big things happen when you do small things repeatedly. Don’t think about the long term just yet. Focus on putting one foot in front of the other. Call around and ask about any promotions for new patients. Try to get a consultation and find out exactly what you need to do with your teeth. You have to know what you’re up against. Once you know that, you can start strategizing on what you can do to get you where you need to be.
Omg thankyou! Your amazing and I think needed to hear because forget to remind myself I am already doing better then what I was. Thankyou for advice I will try and see what happeneds 😊
wow!! love love this video! I wear top and bottom partials. I'm using valplast. they look good, but I know they could look better. I also know that eventually I will need full dentures for I have sjogrens and it's been a struggle keeping my teeth healthy. well, now I know exactly where to go. because that's exactly how I want my teeth to look! I've been following your channel for about 2 yrs now when I was debating on getting full or partial. the reason I went for partial was bacause I'm trying to preserve my jaw bone for as long as I can, and when I see your smile on your insta page, I would sigh thinking I would never be able to afford or be lucky to win teeth like yours. now I see Amy's story and it's like I hear angels singing "alleluia" . Thank you so much!!!!
omg Amy your story sounds so much like mine... I watched every one of Kristi's videos before/and while I was going thru the process...I was so lost...scared and although a couple close family members knew I had to get dentures, they had no idea what any of it would be like. I have had a terrible phobia/extreme fear of the dentist so I bounced from one to another too and of course the cost...when I was going through the process it was with a brand new dentist and boy does he have an attitude!!!!😕 not good for someone with my fears to begin with! When it was time for my perminants, after being told at the beginning I would pick color and tooth size!! I was then being told by THE DENTIST "I've picked age appropriate color for you!" 😲...all I could think of was Kristi's videos and her telling us never settle...so I spoke up and they tried telling me nope they didn't even carry whiter teeth or other shapes 😕....long story short yes they did after almost a complete break down on my part lol and some yelling lol...but I did get close to what they showed me...never fit right and not what I was told I was paying for so I just recently cancelled getting implants there after putting more then half down... I just kept watching these videos over and over and I realized there are good dentists out there...people who truly care about how WE the people who have to wear these dentures feel....so I decided I'm going to take my money and my mouth 😁 and find a place thats gonna make ME feel good!!!😊 You look fantastic hon and thank you so much for sharing your journey with us too, I know you know how great this is for the rest of us! God bless you both and thanks as always Kristi for all the help you've given to me with your videos... you're the best!😍
Small town Kentucky dentist is a huge part of the problem within my mouth. They don’t know how to handle problematic teeth and the teeth become worse. Heartbreaking to say the least.
Do they offer overdenture (snap in) denture options? I tried looking on their website and just saw removable. Therefore, wanted to know if the removable could be a snap in as well. Thanks!
you have been a blessing to me and I haven't even faced my fear yet...all I need to do it make an appointment with affordable dentures and they'll give me a new smile. I want to get the ultimate package which is totally affordable for me. they want to pack my sockets to make sure I don't lose any bone in case I want to get implants down the road. the cost difference is 2500 without and 5100 with. I'm wondering if I should shop around and see if I can get a better denture (just the top) or if I should go ahead with the ultimate package. do you have any advice?
I'm getting caught up on your current story. Both of you have gorgeous and very natural looking smiles! My question: Do you have implant supported dentures? Or several implants? Just curious. I was a dental assistant back when implants were really coming around. I'm going to get immediate temps, but will eventually end up with implants.
Tell Amy hey for me! I'm from Indiana!! I'm also having problems with my teeth, I'm trying to decide if I should get dentures or implants. My teeth are hurting so bad. Anyways Luv your video's girl!
Thank you Kristi and Amy! I will be getting upper dentures with implants in just a couple weeks (Oct 9th to be exact) and thanks to the both of you, I asked my dentist for the Phonares II teeth and that's what I will be getting. I do have a question for you. (Kristi, you may have answered in one of your videos but I have watched a million it seems and it's all scrambled in my brain. How do you clean your dentures? Mine will be removable (snap on) and will soak them in the denture cleaner but do you use regular toothbrush and toothpaste? What about stain control? And do you still use the Listerine mouthwash? I want to be careful and take care of these. Thank you both again. P.S. Kristi, I hope your family was able to stay safe during Irma.
The problem I have been having is being able to find a dentist i am comfortable with, that will listen to what I want without having to pay each an exhorbinate fee. What is the best way to get an appointment with a dentist to 'screen' them? Good video. I really enjoyed it.
1 For The People many dentists actually offer free consultations I know that when I knew I wanted Phonares teeth I scheduled soooo many consultations and on top of that I called dozens of dentists and asked questions. It's a nice way to weed out those that lack the things you are looking for and wanting.
They both had YT channels, so the company is getting access to all of their subscribers who are all denture wearers. It's cheap advertising for them, to a pre-selected audience.
@@investigator77 I need to find an Ivaclar dentist in Florida, please help if you know who they used or if you found a Dentist that works with Ivaclar.
I have had denture since my late teens early 20’s, now I’m 50. I just got my lower implants March 7th 2019, they decided to do the lowers first because they needed to cut the ridge of the bone down to get 5 Nobel 5mm x 13mm implants in. Everything went great very little pain only used ibuprofen. Lower teeth were put in 6 days after surgery, now this I find hard trying to learn to eat and talk again. Don’t really know how to describe the feeling now that the teeth are screwed in, it’s not pain or discomfort it’s just an odd feeling. My upper is still a full denture because I need to have bone grafting and a sinus lift done before my implants can be placed. Actually looking forward to the two more surgery’s to be completed to have a mouth full of teeth on implants.
I have just finished the wax try-in portion of my journey and my pmma is about to be made. I am so stressed out because I have such a nagging feeling in my gut that they could look better if ivoclar's products and processes were being used but I don't think they are. I am having difficulty finding a number to reach out to Ivoclar Vivident for hopefully some guidance or assistance on finding out if they are available in my area. I have implants and have paid for full top and bottom zirconia arches ( for which I had to take out a mortgage on my house!! 😩) so it's a pretty big deal for me and I desperately want to not have regrets later! Can you please share a customer service number so I can get on the path for doing this right? Thank you so much... I've been following you for years just like Amy, and you have beyond any doubt been my inspiration! So grateful to both you and Amy for sharing all you have... and may I say SUCH beautiful smiles on 2 beautiful women! 💜😁😁💜
Wow this video Really touched my heart.I can totally understand everything you girls have been through.I just recently went through myself.From having bad teeth from a young child until age 46 and am still having issues.I can relate to the pain and emotional struggles you both have went through.I just recently got my dentures which are not Phonares Dentures .Much like alot of others who have gotten.dentures.I can honestly understand the pain you girls have gone through because I've been in the same boat.I then got my dentures and much like you girls I was very disappointed.I had teeth that felt like I guess you can say that made me feel like I was a monkey.I was devastated by .I recently got them shaved down and it's not as bad now .I am honestly happier now with them but I'm still very self conscious.This has been quite a devestating adventure that I've been through.Maybe some day I can accept but haven't yet.I cried like a baby when I found out I had to get dentures.However your videos have helped me in so many ways..I really appreciate your honesty band I can relate to what you been through because I've been there myself.Thank you and God bless you both.Carolyn.
Hi Bethy, I understand exactly what your saying. You can go to Ivoclar's website and find certified labs in your area. www.morethanadenture.com/pro/labs/ Then you can ask your dentist to use the lab... or find a dentist that will. Best wishes on your journey.
What do you mean removable and hers not? My dentist mentioned snap on but it's where he takes it off. I work in a Dental office and it's so bad with these teeth. Both of you looks really great!
I've been following Kalin's story 4-5mobths ago and watched her videos and I was amaze with her story ! and her smiles is so contagious and I told myself I wanted that SMILE, as I watched her videos she mention about the materials used and the product , the company Ivovclar/ Vivadent Phonares Teeth , I did researched more and emailed some one , and I said to myself ,well maybe they will not answer me or just ignore me ! But only a few minutes I got an email from the company in New York and her name is Natale ZOELLA from corporate and she said if we could speak , she called me and I was trilled that some one from Ivoclar listened , I told her that I hate my dentures and I do not like my smile ! My dentist does not listen,that the dentures that was made from her clinic is not a very good quality material , so I told NATALE , if she knows of a dentist that used the phonares teeth because I told her about Kalin's video and NATALE even send me a link to another denture wearer , Amy ! I told NATALE I don't want implant I'm scared , so from there she did found a dentist for me and also a lab here in Las Vegas that uses the Ivoclar product , I called the dentist , had my initial appointment in February , X-rays were made and how much it will cost ..etc..came in to a comfortable figure of dollar amount , had my impressions done 3weeks ago and will back this Wednesday June 21,2017 to have a fitting ! I really glad that I was able to watched Kalin's video to find out that there's a product that looks so natural inside your mouth ! Both Kalin & Amy are inspiration to me ! I wanted to thanked NATALE ZOELLA so much that she gave me the phonares teeth to be use for my dentures ! Nice to see Kalin & Amy doing this video ! More power to both !Tess BUENAVENTURA Las Vegas , NV.
Your not different, I struggled to and your feelings are very valid but it’s no different then someone missing an arm, a leg, being blind, crippled, deaf. That’s what I try to tell myself it could be worse I promise. Keep your head up and the people who should be in your life will accept you anyway and if they don’t then you don’t need them. Stay strong 💪
If a person has nice straight teeth, but has to have some removed because of cracking(molars), can they take an impression of the teeth before extraction and then make teeth that are in the dentures look just like the persons original teeth?
that is pretty good story I been following your page and decide to get denture thank you but kind a struggling about this teeth to dealing I hope to get the kind teeth thats my dream!
I'm absolutely telling you you two are absolutely inspiring. It takes your confidence and beat you down. you feel like that the Dennis are just sitting out there just waiting to jump into your bank account. Mine started when I was a young boy acid reflux was a huge Factor. Then they put mercury fillings in my teeth and decided that they all had to come out. I don't have my dentures yet but I'm watching everything that I can to inform myself. I will make this happen just trying to figure out the right way to do it
How much is the cost for the implants and a upper bridge with the best material? It's very frustrating to know everything in America turns in to business because the cost of school is too expensive
Thanks for all the info. You have prepped me for future consultations. Compared tho to you 2 women with the neon white teeth mine will be considerably darker...
I need so much work done but have so many other things that are more important than myself. I take my dad to his cancer treatments and my mom has dementia so I can’t worry about myself but oh my goodness how I would love to have these.. I have had a thyroidectomy and now autoimmune issues and celiac. I have had some teeth to break and didn’t understand what was wrong, found out it is from my health. I am in the beauty industry and work with brides & weddings and I can’t do that proudly when I have visible issues. I now have to help with my parents so not working as much like before, I wish it wasn’t so expensive.
what kind of dentures does AMY have?? i am watching and listening yet I'm not hearing where? what kind of dentures are they called? how much do they cost?
Amy D thank you! I'm not asking how much they cost as i know every case is different, but i do wanna ask how much did yours cost? THEY look absolutely amazing!!! it's your smile that really encourages me to just do it! ;) They are gorgeous just gorgeous!
Yes sadly it does vary from case to case and dentists and labs etc and even where you live I've noticed can make a difference in cost but mine for top and bottom were under 4,000 and that included all of my visits etc I had had dentures for 5 yrs prior so I didn't have all of the extraction and surgical costs.
shelly bomb thank you and I'm certain yours will too when you take that next step in your journey nothing is more rewarding and emotionally healing than having your smile back ❤️
I'm going on Monday to get dentures. I'm scared to death. I m a student, no income Airbnb cut me off, but managed to enroll and got Medicaid. I was wondering if Medicaid covers ivoclora phenor dentures.
I know I will never be able to save enough or be able to afford a beautiful smile like you beautiful women have 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢but as of April 21, 2023 there’s no turning back I’m scared 😳
omg you two are just like me. I am 37 years old and I've known since age 27 I'd need dentures........Much like u Amy, It started with fillings in my front teeth and my teeth hurt ALL OF THE TIME. I am facing this right now. I have no top teeth......and haven't worn dentures because I can hide it well, but now my bottom teeth are going and just had 2 more bottom teeth just pulled and i am on my way to full dentures and i am so scared. I am so young and i just want dental implants.....I can't afford them. I hated my temps....they are clunky and huge!!!! I am so depressed and crying right now..... because I know I won't feel any better with dentures. I am going to hate not feeling my palate. I just want to give up. I am crying through this whole video and I am struggling so bad. If I had any money it'd go to teeth that feel better........ I am so miserable and don't know who to talk to cuz no one understands me........where do I find a place to help me????
What can you do if you can't do implants.(I've had one and my body rejected it). I have my horrible bulky temporary dentures that cause sore areas and the bottoms are so loose.
Anti Establishment Roy dental lab made mine my dentist did all the impressions and measurements. Yes they had to order them it didn't take long at all.
I just turned 30 and after two kids I'm on the fence about getting dentures. I barely have any top back teeth and my teeth are deteriorating between the gum and tooth (pockets if you will). I'm scared my face will look different. I can barely chew and my best friend is orajel.
I need your teeth so bad! Going to have all my top teeth pulled at the beginning of September and gotta go 3 months without teeth. You're so lucky Amy! You have a beautiful set of teeth❤️
I would do anything for a perfect smile, my dentists refuse to remove my teeth and give me dentures but they also refuse to give me probono work also or refused cost. It takes forever to get in at the recent dentist graduates school. I would rather die than go on with my teeth.
Really I wish the dentists I used would have advised me to keep my teeth. They looked bad and had a few missing up front but I used clip in veneers and had no problem eating what I wanted. Now everyday is a gd struggle to eat even soft foods and the bone will shrink away. You don't need dentures for a smile....they fucking pulled all them and feel ashamed of myself for letting them do so. I'm going to spend way more on fake teeth with implants now than I would have otherwise. Dentures is a last resort.
@Jake Barrett sad. I’m facing getting like 8-10 crowns on my molars and pre molars (I’m 35). I don’t know if it’d be better to pull them and get implants or implant supported partial dentures. Maybe you could try implant supported dentures? It’s cheaper than full implants or all on 4 I think. Some people say they get more used to dentures over time. Hope you can get some better teeth. It’s hard having bad teeth 😞
@@milliem8051 Yes...i can get implants to perserve bone and stabilize dentures and hopefully add some bite force back ...but it'll be 10,000 for 10 mini implants....im just ashamed of myslef...i had a gut feeling that i shouldn't have done it and strange why they wanted to...they didnt even wanna try to save my teeth....i was only missing 4. Idk anymore, people are fucked up and i gave the benefit of the doubt... Maybe he was making commission on me or something of that sort. I would totally do crowns if your roots are stable and strong as mine were, you have a good foundation so I would definitely keep the teeth. I'm spending way more money in the long run letting them extract them and im emotionally in fucked up. Ohh well wtf can I do now but try to come up with 10 fucking grand.
This is so beautiful! I just got a top set dentures on January 17th, 2018. My teeth problems started as well with pregnancy, stripping enamel away, I have saliva that creates cavities and en ex smashed my head into the floor, chipped an eye tooth and that was it. You guys help me so much emotionally right now. Feeling sad and ugly when I take my denture out. I don’t want anyone to see. I’m happy that I’m not in pain and don’t have yucky teeth but still it’s bitter sweet! Much love ladies! Thank you 🙏
I myself have been in deep denial. All my life I had bad teeth but got worse when I became pregnant. Yesterday my front tooth fell out 😢 and I’m in a such a dark place. So Monday I plan to visit a place to talk about Dentures. I’m young and I’m scared. So please pray for me doing this journey. Thank you in Advance.
Renesha M The same thing happened to me and I’m only 32 & have a 15 year old Son who will obviously start dating soon and I don’t want him to be embarrassed to bring home a girlfriend and be embarrassed by my teeth, so yeah, I myself have also been in a very dark place and have cried the past week but I’m praying and trusting God. I pray everything works out for you Doll & you get back to life and your happiness comes back. Good Luck & God Bless You
Renesha M same here both my pregnancy my teeth got worse and now I am 24 with only a few teeth left and I really wanna try dentures so I can smile pretty again some people just don’t know what it’s like to have bad teeth it’s heartbreaking I hate smiling bc of it now and I just wish I could afford dentures
never be afraid, this is a part of life! I need these denture real bad, and I just lost my job, but I will get them I know it!
I hope that you are doing better!
How are you doing Renesha?
This is so adorable!! You've changed so many lives by speaking out on this. I love changing peoples lives and being a part of that journey! I hope my channel reaches out to people like this
Thank you beautiful ladies so much for doing this video! I've been following K for a month or two, and I'm currently in the process of deciding to get full dentures. I need you ladies sharing this information, and you are heroes to those of us who are terrified!! Love you both
This is beautiful! OMG I was crying watching this. What beautiful women you are!
Im 31 and Mom of two. I'm going on Tuesday to start the process for my dentures. I've been without for almost a month. I love seeing these videos. Kristi, like Amy, you are my hero Girl! I'm grateful in knowing that I am not alone. I appreciate the time you've dedicated to helping so many others. Amy, you're beautiful. Your teeth are amazing. And I'm sooooooo looking forward to getting started!
I'm curious though, how many appointments did it take to have yours in hand?!
Danielle Eagle I'm 31 too, mom of 3. Getting my uppers pulled sometime in September. Thinking of documenting it.
Dani I had my teeth in just about two months to walk out with the finished set but that is because we made some changes with the wax try ins.
Amy D I guess it is pretty different for everyone then. I'm just so excited and anxious about everything. I'm ready to have a beautiful smile again. It's been far too long.
Dani same here. Been in pain today and I cannot wait to have these things out of my mouth!
I am excited for both of you and your journey to smiling again ❤️
I am currently binge watching all of your vlogs ❤️ I have finally come to the point where I need to get all my top teeth out what’s left anyway 😌 you have definitely inspired me & given me more confidence to see it through!! I’m still devastated though 🥲
Thanks so much for these videos 😍
I hope everyone struggling finds her videos ! Omg Kristi this is so emotional and sweet!
Feelgood video! I'm a clinical technician (denturist) and I'm setting up some phonares teeth now and it always feels good to make people's smiles and lives better 😂😁
roadrunner_oo9 how much does this cost for upper teeth I don’t need it for all only partial mainly on the front area
Before going on you tube and watching kalinjax videos I couldn't even bring myself to say the word "denture". Thank you for doing what you're doing! You re helping so many people!
Holly Prchlik I myself couldn't either "denture" was like a 4 letter word for me, she literally changed my entire life by telling her story only regret I have is that I didn't do it sooner and saved myself all the suffering.
You both have brought hope, truth and compassion throughput this process. Blessings to you both❤️
I'm on disability and my teeth are chipping off and I'm in so much pain but I can't afford to get them fixed!! I just want to smile again and be pain free!!! I'll never be able to save up for this when I can't even work!! It sucks!!! I've been watching your videos and I dream to have a beautiful smile like yours!!!
Oh my gosh I love this!!! I love her story! Mine is very similar. I googled the same young people with dentures and starting watching your videos! I got my dentures a little over two years ago and just recently I was asked to be a part of a reality tv show and they surprised me on camera with the news that I was getting the all on fours! I wanted to get on here and comment just to tell you thank you! You bring hope and peace to so many people struggling with getting dentures and thank you for being such an inspiration!
Madison Gipson what an incredible opportunity congratulations
Amy D thank you so much! It was very unexpected!
Great video!!! This had me crying my eyes out. Such beautiful souls❤
Amy, your teeth are beautiful. You are Blessed that someone cared about you. I have reflux also, not to mention years of steroid use due to some severe diseases, I had lost most of my teeth. I begged for help but I couldn't afford to go from dentist to dentist to get help. I ended up trying the Go Fund Me thing from face book and ended up with $300, thats it! So I went to my church family and I got another $1,000, still not enough to get dentures. My husband had to get a loan from his 401K and I ended up with a dentist who had a coupon in a local flyer. This was the worst experience of my life! It only went from bad to worse....these dentures looked like horse teeth. They didn't fit, I was in constant pain, and I didn't know what to do. My husband had to go back and take another $5,000 from our 401K and I ended up at Aspen. I am still only in my temps because Aspen had to pull another tooth on the bottom that this first quack didn't pull. I hate these dentures too...they hurt and my mouth bleeds and I've told the dentist and they just keep adding more reline material. I just don't know what the answer is for people that can't afford to run to a bunch of dentists. I hate all the adhesives I have to shove in my mouth because of the fit. I have even used the DenSureFit that everyone is clammering about, but my teeth still don't stay in. Besides all that I haven't even begun to tell you how ugly I think these teeth are. It is so hard when you are sick to begin with and you have to look ugly too.
Well, I just had to get this off my chest because I am so saddened by the way I look now. I am married so I don't have to worry about dating, but shouldn't I be able to look pretty for my husband too, no matter how long we've been married? I thank God for a husband who loves me anyhow, not matter what! Again...you both are Blessed you could afford to get nice teeth.
Oh Faye... what a horrid world it is when profit comes before People, particularly where health and basic needs are concerned. Please don't feel bad about not having any teeth (if if comes to that). A person is much more than their body parts. I hope you are able to get something sorted out though.. xx
Faye Jones I soooo know how you feel hon😕 hang in there and whatever you do fight for what you want...my problem was and is still with Aspen...they tell you one thing then try to push another...just because the dentures are a bit more affordable doesn't mean they have to look or feel horrible... I hope things get better for you...
please know you aren't alone in how you feel... if you ever need someone to talk to who understands please don't hestitate to contact me 😊~hugs~
I received free implants and I can tell you where to go as well go to
Dr.Steven Hurst he's amazing!!!
Pinky S
No
+Mary Holley
God bless you! :) how did you get free implants ?
This made me cry cuz this hits home so much
Thank you ladies, for sharing such a valuable message, by uplifting us that are facing these decisions and to not be afraid to take that leap, having the faith that our lives will change, not just for ourselves but for others that are missing out on who we really are and what we have to give with being able to smile again.
Hello kalinjax, I chance upon your channel from Google by typing in young adult wearing denture . I recently extract a tooth and I can't smile like how I use to even when others tells me that it isn't obvious . I was just broken and lost . After watching you video , I really kind of felt relieved . I'm still deciding if I'm going to do a implant or just put on a dentures. Even if I have to , at least I know that I'm not alone. Thank you for making this videos
Love this Kristi! You did an amazing job! I feel like Amy speaks for many of us when we come across your videos. By the way both of your smiles look AMAZING
After many years pain , I concluded my journey a month ago by finishing my all on four bottom jaw, having done my top jaw 3 years ago. Best decision ever. I was judged before, now people judge me for "all that money you spent on your teeth" as they put it., Thank you for your vids, No-one gets it. Greetings from the land Down Under
Hi!! Can I talk to you in private please. Really need your help
As pessoas julgam por qualquer coisa. Devemos passar por cima disso e seguir em frente. Ser feliz é a melhor resposta!
@@rafaelsantos5111 obrigada !!!
I'm so glad to have found this channel. I too live in jax, FL! I found you, researching my process to start my denture process. I have a wedding is coming next year, and I would LOVE to smile! After having two children, it has taken a toll on my teeth. I'm so thankful to have found you.
Do you know what Dentist in Florida that uses Ivaclar?? I am in Central Florida and I will go wherever they are. ThankYou in advance if you can tell me where to find one.
Well done ladies! I'm 51 now and am just beginning this process. For me, it's been a challenge to get past the whole, "well, I'm over 50 now, what's the big deal with just taking what's available? I'm not so concerned with appearance any more, I can deal with simply adequate, right?" Wrong. I don't want to settle. For now, I'm saving money and dealing with several sets of Imako 'shape at home' slip ins, and while I'm grateful for them, I am anxious to move forward. It will take me a few years, but I am determined. Thank you for sharing~ Samantha Whitson
Just a phenomenal result!! Her smile is so beautiful!! What a dream come true! They can help me anytime they want lol!!!
So 8 months ago a decide it to remove my teeth that I have been struggling with. Unfortunately the cost was to much. Until I did some research and I found out that here in Las Vegas the have dental school . So I walk in and the took my x-ray . And the gave me the cost to remove 15 teeth upper and lower .. the cost was amazing the total was 1975$ including my dentures.. I have to go back to get a new set because as you know your gums take some time to healed.. I made a appointment with them for next month. The are only going to charge me 950$ for my permanent dentures.. just wanted to share my story. And for the people that are thinking about getting dentures please be patient it's definitely a long process but at the end it's well worth...
Mike vuk congrats! Happy for you!
Hi Mike! I am about to start my process as well - I have dental insurance, and I found that my out of pocket (for extractions and dentures) is about the same. $2000 is a lot of money to many of us, but it is something that is SO MUCH more affordable than I ever thought it could be. I am so excited to get started. I hope that you are doing well now!
Wow how you guys doing now its been 4 years and two years?
Omg this was amazing!! Girl you have helped so many people!
You are amazing, I watched all your videos before my E-day; they help me a lot to accept my new condition with dentures, thank you!!
So glad I found your channel... It is helping me to deal with what I am going through. I always think I have a nice smile and I am really worried about....thanks for sharing your story............MINDY
Oh my goodness, ladies, THANK YOU, I’m in the middle of watching your videos right now and I’m so glad to know I am not alone, especially that feeling that the professionals give you, that treatment you get for not having your teeth, having to bounce around from dentist to dentist.... it’s horrible. Thank you thank you thank you!
Can you spell the name of the company that made your dentures & what is the name of your dentures.
This is so inspiring i'm turning 49 2/20/2019 my mouth is too a mess. I was told I needed an upper bridge due to a removal of a crown that got infected from being hit behind in a 5 car rear end accident on my way to work. I was car 5 of course the car that hit me had zero insurance. So i had already shelled out 1000's & 1000's up to that point.
So I paid 11500.00 in 2018 to get a permanent upper denture, when I went back to be measured for it & was told the original front tooth was not strong enough for the permanent bridge. so the suggested the all in 4 so I asked my ex fiancé to co sign a loan to get it all done at once, I had already paid the 11,500.00 in 2018 the additional loan approved for 22k, when I sat down to pick the color & shape which I was so excited about only to learn last month that the loan was only for the upper, & he was going give me a credit of 4k back from the 11,500.00 towards the "all on four" .
So the (this dentist) already had $11,500.00 this far in addition to what would have been $22,000.00 total for that dentist $33,500.00 that's not including what my insurance company already paid for the original extraction RX for the abscess.
at the same time my lower jaw had already been being worked on for a permanent lower bridge due to another root canal going bad, already paying for bone grafting in that too. so long story short.
I left the Dentists chair when I learns it was only for the upper & that same dentist had removed my temp bridge (lower) from my dentist that was helping me before the accident, they also told me the root canal was bad from the Endodontist I had also paid that dentist $1200.00 so here I sit my my 6 bottom front teeth.
to the left I have 1 back tooth 2 teeth that were shaved down exposed, the opposite side is one molar broken & hurting I need neck/ back surgery & have been deemed disabled 2 days ago! I'm at a complete loss, alone & miserable! Anyway thank you I appreciate this info.
Hey Kalinjax, I am a disabled retired special needs teacher. I have so many health problems that developed to the point of not being able to do anything. I cannot afford dental insurance or dental care. I would love to have what you have but I could never be able to afford it now. I paid so many student loans for years and my hubby had a heart attack and is slowly wasting away. My story sounds like a soap opera when the complete story is revealed. I am so glad you got your teeth. I have two of my grandchildren living with me and I receive no assistance for their care. I am 57 years old and I never smile or go out in public unless it is of vital importance. I worked so hard and the depression overwhelmes me sometimes. Keep helping as many as you can. I cannot wear dentures due to a health problem so when the teeth in front go then I will never go out unless it is an emergency. Good luck to you and those who can get help.
Angela McQueen I am so sorry for your troubles Angela. I hope someone sees your comment, understands your dilemma and is able to help you. xoXo
I will pray for you...please stay strong!
Angela~ I can totally relate to your situation. Were you able to get any dentures that you're happy with? I am just starting this journey & would love to know if you found any that you're happy with.
Thanks ya'll, this video is very encouraging and inspiring! It was so good to see you too kalinjax! I had missed you. I love watching your videos and always tell people about them. I am 52 and have had dental problems all my life, I hate to go to the dentist, they always tell me how bad it is and talk about thousands of $$$. I am not proud to say this but I have not been in 6 years, just can't afford it. I have paid a lot of $$$, I just want new teeth. I have not even started this process and it isn't getting better. The pain goes into my jaw and to my ear, my husband has dental issues too and thinks his are worse so we are looking at Mexico to get ours done but I am doing research and you help a great deal! I hope I can find someone who carries Ivoclar down there. Keep the videos up, I look forward to them :D Congrats on your new teeth Amy! They are beautiful! You both are beautiful women~
What a beautiful story. Thank you so much.
Hi I have loved watching your videos! I am just starting my denture journey....I am only needing to get bottom dentures at this point but because of you I am going to explore getting Phonares by Ivoclur. I’m not sure if my dentist orders from Ivoclur but I am going to ask him to! Please keep making videos! This is such an Important Topic!! There is so much fear around this process but you have helped alleviate much of my fear! Thank you Kalin. Donna from Queen Creek Arizona🌵
you are my inspiration! I have severe gum disease where all my upper teeth are 9 and 10s on the verge of loosing them. Need to look into dentures soon. 😢😢
Cherrie Nguyen it is truly a life changing decision to make but one I don't regret making because it has changed my life for the better. I wish you the best of luck through your journey ❤️️❤️️❤️️
It’s not the end of the world babe!!! I’m 31 and have dentures. I’ve made videos trying to help people. You’re beautiful, and you can rock them!
Cherrie Nguyen did you have perio long ? Did you treat it ? I just found I had it after years of neglect,only,5- 6 pockets tho
Cherrie Nguyen so scary, but watching all these videos has helped me tremendously!!
Kalinjax is my inspiration and motivation. I'm 32, and just like Amy, reached my limit of tolerance of who I've not allowed myself to be, because of my lack of self-confidence and rapidly deterorating health.
I finally caved and got all of my teeth pulled on the 13th, so one week ago exactly today, and now have my immediate dentures. I admit, it's been a hell of adjustment. I am still struggling with the change. I thought sure, I'll go through a few days pain but everything else will be great. It's not like that at all. I feel like the teeth are too big and don't fit right, even though I'm going through all the adjustments and religns. It's hard for me, seeing how different my face looks ATM, from completely swollen to almost sunken. I can't eat anything besides puree, and only with the teeth out. I can't speak well - in fact, it's made me not want to communicate at all. Wearing them hurts still, still going through bleeding. I don't feel like myself. I'm sad. I'm grieving. I'm second-guessing myself and my choice. I'm insecure with them and without. I'm afraid of what my husband secretly thinks, even though he's supportive and encouraging... doubt is easily spread around, especially if it starts within yourself. I'm stressed out about this change. I'm facing all my fears ,but also, stuck in this fearful state bc the change isn't immediate.
BUT I'm also optimistic and that's because of Kalinjax. She is keeping me going right now. I turn to her videos every day and reassure myself that things will get better. I will get better. My life will get better bc my outcome will ultimately be positive if I stick to my guns and follow my heart with my dental/health journey. Kalinjax reassurance is encouraging to me, I pray my story ends up like hers. Like Amy, I also feel like Kalinjax has changed my life. I'm glad to "have her with me" on this journey - her positivity, reassurance, honesty, sympathy...everything. She makes me feel like my feelings are real and valid, that it's OK to be 32 and wear dentures, it's OK to feel remorse and insecurity right now, and that I'm going to be OK in the end.
How are you doing Angela?
Hi Kristi! I had my first appointment with a wonderful dentist and his staff, 3 days ago! I had gone to a local dentist at a brand new office here in the town I live in, and I hated it! The dentist was not comforting at all, and I couldn't help thinking that I wouldn't want him looking after me. I watched a bunch of your videos that afternoon, and you were speaking with the lady dentist in Las Vegas, and she was saying if you don't find someone you're comfortable with, go to another one! So that's what I did. I called a Denturist's office, and asked them who they get great reviews on when people they get in from different dentists. They gave me the name of a doctor, and I looked up his web site and he sounded perfect! i got an appointment 3 hours later, and went in to meet the staff, had my jaw, neck, and teeth checked, and marked for work. When the dentist came in, he felt that we should save the ones on the bottom, but I only had 5 left on top, and they were basically garbage, so he recommended full uppers, and a partial plate on the bottom. I felt very comfortabe with that, and he said they could just add 2 extra teeth on the bottom plate I already have. What a difference!! I felt so much better about going there, and having them care for me. I am excited now about getting my immediate transition upper, and then look at a permanent set one year later. Now I'm excited about moving forward, and getting my smile back. Love you ladies!!
Okay, both of you look amazing! How did you find a dentist, that offered the Ivoclar products! Again, thank you for being so brave!
I’m so with you, my teeth problem started as well in my 20sss when I had my first daughter.... I wear dentures also and I don’t like my dentures..... so these videos are going to help me so much... thank you lady’s
Man I wish I was so lucky..that's for the videos!!!!! You're inspiring and I hope I can smile as bright as u one day
Wow! l refuse to get implant dentures from _anyone_ who won't sit down and watch YOUR video with me! One thing l really noticed is how _flattering_ those dentures are to your facial structure Christy!! l don't know what they did but BRAVO lvoclar! You look just STUNNING with those ones! So does Amy!
Happy i found your videos.. just had mine done 3 days ago.. it's a huge shock to me I'm 35 but had no other choice i wouldn't talk to people because of how horrible my teeth were. It feels weird to show my mouth I'm extremely self conscious even though my new denture looks good. Hopefully i will get better with it
Hi Kristin and Amy! I am making my rounds once again and catching up on your latest vids. I left a message on your most recent video explaining my situation but I will post it here as well in case you have not seen it. I love you and the work you are doing. I am considering starting my own denture journey channel as well. Here is my last post I left under one of your other vids;
I got immediate dentures three months ago and it has been a nightmare. The extraction procedure left me with a continuing numb sensation between upper lip and bottom of nose and the airway on the right side of my nose has collapsed, causing brand new breathing issues. My dentures are way too big and causing the bottom of my mouth to "bulge", the top denture is way too thick at the roof of my mouth, neither stay in while eating, speech impairments, etc. I am sooooo sad :( And I did this to improve my appearance and lifestyle after losing one of my children two years ago. The pain and mourning from that event really took a toll and as I began to heal from the mourning, I wanted to go ahead and take that leap into being a denture wearer in order to look and feel better as a women in my fifties. I don't know how to tell a quality denture from a cheap one because this all still new to me. You look amazing and soooo beautiful.
OMG this video makes me so so happy! I can relate so much! I've been living w horrible teeth for years.. Due to genetics, i was doomed from the start! Being a single mother of 2 teenage boys, it's just not financially possible.. My kids come first! Maybe one day I'll have a smile as beautiful as urs, one of my dreams is to simply be able to smile back at my children. Congrats on ur new life!! Xoxo
Amy Thank you so much for sharing your experience I have to go through the same process you help me to understand better and be more encouraging 🙏🌹
I also cant wait to wear lipstick again! I know it may sound trivial
I have like 30 tubes of lipstick and find that I still really only stick to nude. It was a short-lived fancy for me😂
Me too!!!!!!! I'm SO ready to feel pretty again 😭 My husband just left me for a 26 year old. Just walked out on me and my 5 babies. I'm so sick of feeling ugly and worthless, and being embarrassed at work. I work in a professional position and i feel ashamed all the time. I'm ready to feel human again! Although I'm terrified of the extractions!
@@eeeeemeeee9047 it's not as bad as it sounds(extractions) You.can do it girl...good luck ❤
I got the name at the end of your video. Thank you again! Both of you are beautiful!!
Thanks Kalinjax for being a role model to my daughter, Dawn!
I love that you are getting this out there- amazing!
Beautiful smiles. You both look great.
Thank You for this i just went to get my upper denture it's only been about 5 days...i can't talk right I can't swallow at all I'm miserable. I feel hopeless right now with the dentist I have right now...
it gets easier just be patient and take it slow
Kaylyn Hill I'm sorry your going through all of that it can be so overwhelming not only physically but emotionally and unfortunately many times after extractions and dentures are placed the only source of information is what we find on our own many dentists don't provide information on life after extractions and can't relate like someone who has went through it. Hang in there it does get better and does take a lot of patience. I rinsed with warm salt water twice a day it seemed to help a bit and stayed away from anything that I had to chew. Thinking of you and hope that it gets better ❤️
Kaylyn Hill it will get better! I remember those things were stuck in my mouth(it was swollen ) and I thought these people gave me the wrong teeth. It is a process it does get better be nice to yourself 😘
I just had 2 more bottom teeth pulled a day and a half ago and in pain, and I have no upper teeth......I am terrified...... right now I know I have to get bottoms pulled then full dentures. I am in such agony and feel so alone. I want to run.....run so far.....it's not fair. I took great care of my teeth but 4 pregnancies later my teeth just crumbled. I feel like shit right now cuz my mouth hurts. Knowing I have 8 more to go and then I am dentures sucks. I don't wanna talk funny, or look weird, or have big bulky teeth in......I am sorry you feel so miserable as well......it is so emotionally taxing!!!! god bless all of us....
Lisa Willett if you look back at her first videos her dentures & smile was beautiful (the regular ones, they didnt look bulky ect.). I believe they made her say that for advertising these new ones. Im so sorry your situation is taking so long, wow. It's a personal loss, maybe you will be done grieving by the time you get your beautiful new smile? Seriously please look at her 1st videos to show your mind how good the regular dentures are. They look real, so will yours :)
You're smiles are beautiful!! I was just wondering what shade you used? Do you both have the same shade?
After being in abusive relationship for 13 years I finally got help from family to leave situation. I'm trying to start over but have bad teeth live in hick town with no car. I am hopeless I am ever gonna be able to smile. I'm a single mom 4 kids with dreams and things I want to do but at my lowest and isolate myself. Dont know how I will ever get help. Seeing other people finding help gives me some hope.
You. Have. Got. This. You have already accomplished so much by choosing yourself and your kids. I have had friends that have been in abusive situations and it is not easy to pull yourself out of that. You’re doing it. Starting over is scary. It might feel like you are building from nothing but you’re wrong. Everything you have gone through so far has made you incredibly strong, powerful, capable. Big things happen when you do small things repeatedly. Don’t think about the long term just yet. Focus on putting one foot in front of the other. Call around and ask about any promotions for new patients. Try to get a consultation and find out exactly what you need to do with your teeth. You have to know what you’re up against. Once you know that, you can start strategizing on what you can do to get you where you need to be.
Best of luck to you! Please don’t lose hope. You’ve already come so far!
Omg thankyou! Your amazing and I think needed to hear because forget to remind myself I am already doing better then what I was. Thankyou for advice I will try and see what happeneds 😊
You’re very welcome. Best of luck to you!
@@kalinjax thankyou !
wow!! love love this video! I wear top and bottom partials. I'm using valplast. they look good, but I know they could look better. I also know that eventually I will need full dentures for I have sjogrens and it's been a struggle keeping my teeth healthy. well, now I know exactly where to go. because that's exactly how I want my teeth to look! I've been following your channel for about 2 yrs now when I was debating on getting full or partial. the reason I went for partial was bacause I'm trying to preserve my jaw bone for as long as I can, and when I see your smile on your insta page, I would sigh thinking I would never be able to afford or be lucky to win teeth like yours. now I see Amy's story and it's like I hear angels singing "alleluia" . Thank you so much!!!!
Wow...Amy's teeth are gorgeous and natural looking. Wow...I'm astonished!!! They look top notch like a million dollar smile.
I'm going next week and asking for the Ivoclar brand so looking forward to having my new smile using this brand, you both have beautiful smiles💗
omg Amy your story sounds so much like mine... I watched every one of Kristi's videos before/and while I was going thru the process...I was so lost...scared and although a couple close family members knew I had to get dentures, they had no idea what any of it would be like. I have had a terrible phobia/extreme fear of the dentist so I bounced from one to another too and of course the cost...when I was going through the process it was with a brand new dentist and boy does he have an attitude!!!!😕 not good for someone with my fears to begin with! When it was time for my perminants, after being told at the beginning I would pick color and tooth size!! I was then being told by THE DENTIST "I've picked age appropriate color for you!" 😲...all I could think of was Kristi's videos and her telling us never settle...so I spoke up and they tried telling me nope they didn't even carry whiter teeth or other shapes 😕....long story short yes they did after almost a complete break down on my part lol and some yelling lol...but I did get close to what they showed me...never fit right and not what I was told I was paying for so I just recently cancelled getting implants there after putting more then half down... I just kept watching these videos over and over and I realized there are good dentists out there...people who truly care about how WE the people who have to wear these dentures feel....so I decided I'm going to take my money and my mouth 😁 and find a place thats gonna make ME feel good!!!😊
You look fantastic hon and thank you so much for sharing your journey with us too, I know you know how great this is for the rest of us! God bless you both and thanks as always Kristi for all the help you've given to me with your videos... you're the best!😍
Small town Kentucky dentist is a huge part of the problem within my mouth. They don’t know how to handle problematic teeth and the teeth become worse.
Heartbreaking to say the least.
Good education I learning a lot sharing this is important for myself as well u both help others thank u
Do they offer overdenture (snap in) denture options? I tried looking on their website and just saw removable. Therefore, wanted to know if the removable could be a snap in as well. Thanks!
you have been a blessing to me and I haven't even faced my fear yet...all I need to do it make an appointment with affordable dentures and they'll give me a new smile. I want to get the ultimate package which is totally affordable for me. they want to pack my sockets to make sure I don't lose any bone in case I want to get implants down the road. the cost difference is 2500 without and 5100 with. I'm wondering if I should shop around and see if I can get a better denture (just the top) or if I should go ahead with the ultimate package. do you have any advice?
I'm getting caught up on your current story.
Both of you have gorgeous and very natural looking smiles!
My question: Do you have implant supported dentures? Or several implants?
Just curious. I was a dental assistant back when implants were really coming around.
I'm going to get immediate temps, but will eventually end up with implants.
Tell Amy hey for me! I'm from Indiana!! I'm also having problems with my teeth, I'm trying to decide if I should get dentures or implants. My teeth are hurting so bad. Anyways Luv your video's girl!
I am also very young and I got my immediate dentures 3 days ago, Avatar full denture and a bottom partial.. I can't even look in the mirror..
Thank you Kristi and Amy! I will be getting upper dentures with implants in just a couple weeks (Oct 9th to be exact) and thanks to the both of you, I asked my dentist for the Phonares II teeth and that's what I will be getting. I do have a question for you. (Kristi, you may have answered in one of your videos but I have watched a million it seems and it's all scrambled in my brain. How do you clean your dentures? Mine will be removable (snap on) and will soak them in the denture cleaner but do you use regular toothbrush and toothpaste? What about stain control? And do you still use the Listerine mouthwash? I want to be careful and take care of these. Thank you both again.
P.S. Kristi, I hope your family was able to stay safe during Irma.
The problem I have been having is being able to find a dentist i am comfortable with, that will listen to what I want without having to pay each an exhorbinate fee. What is the best way to get an appointment with a dentist to 'screen' them? Good video. I really enjoyed it.
1 For The People many dentists actually offer free consultations I know that when I knew I wanted Phonares teeth I scheduled soooo many consultations and on top of that I called dozens of dentists and asked questions. It's a nice way to weed out those that lack the things you are looking for and wanting.
im getting my all on 4 dental implants on june 6th but i want to find a dentist here in las vegas that does these new phonares where do i start
You and Amy are very fortunate to get free dental work of this kind ..
They both had YT channels, so the company is getting access to all of their subscribers who are all denture wearers. It's cheap advertising for them, to a pre-selected audience.
@@investigator77 I need to find an Ivaclar dentist in Florida, please help if you know who they used or if you found a Dentist that works with Ivaclar.
Where in Washington State can I find a Dentist for full Denture Ive already had my teeth removed
I have had denture since my late teens early 20’s, now I’m 50. I just got my lower implants March 7th 2019, they decided to do the lowers first because they needed to cut the ridge of the bone down to get 5 Nobel 5mm x 13mm implants in. Everything went great very little pain only used ibuprofen. Lower teeth were put in 6 days after surgery, now this I find hard trying to learn to eat and talk again. Don’t really know how to describe the feeling now that the teeth are screwed in, it’s not pain or discomfort it’s just an odd feeling. My upper is still a full denture because I need to have bone grafting and a sinus lift done before my implants can be placed. Actually looking forward to the two more surgery’s to be completed to have a mouth full of teeth on implants.
Have you gotten more used to your implants? Does it feel better/easier to eat with implants than dentures? Hope all is well for you Steve.
I thought bone grafts had to be done immediately after the extraction?
Is locator f-tx a good denture? My dentist said he could save my teeth they would look good but in 3 years I would be right back in there.
Nice to see this video I'm glad you posted it.😎
I have just finished the wax try-in portion of my journey and my pmma is about to be made. I am so stressed out because I have such a nagging feeling in my gut that they could look better if ivoclar's products and processes were being used but I don't think they are. I am having difficulty finding a number to reach out to Ivoclar Vivident for hopefully some guidance or assistance on finding out if they are available in my area. I have implants and have paid for full top and bottom zirconia arches ( for which I had to take out a mortgage on my house!! 😩) so it's a pretty big deal for me and I desperately want to not have regrets later! Can you please share a customer service number so I can get on the path for doing this right? Thank you so much... I've been following you for years just like Amy, and you have beyond any doubt been my inspiration! So grateful to both you and Amy for sharing all you have... and may I say SUCH beautiful smiles on 2 beautiful women! 💜😁😁💜
Wow this video Really touched my heart.I can totally understand everything you girls have been through.I just recently went through myself.From having bad teeth from a young child until age 46 and am still having issues.I can relate to the pain and emotional struggles you both have went through.I just recently got my dentures which are not Phonares Dentures .Much like alot of others who have gotten.dentures.I can honestly understand the pain you girls have gone through because I've been in the same boat.I then got my dentures and much like you girls I was very disappointed.I had teeth that felt like I guess you can say that made me feel like I was a monkey.I was devastated by .I recently got them shaved down and it's not as bad now .I am honestly happier now with them but I'm still very self conscious.This has been quite a devestating adventure that I've been through.Maybe some day I can accept but haven't yet.I cried like a baby when I found out I had to get dentures.However your videos have helped me in so many ways..I really appreciate your honesty band I can relate to what you been through because I've been there myself.Thank you and God bless you both.Carolyn.
Hi Bethy, I understand exactly what your saying. You can go to Ivoclar's website and find certified labs in your area. www.morethanadenture.com/pro/labs/ Then you can ask your dentist to use the lab... or find a dentist that will. Best wishes on your journey.
Steph C thank you! I found only one small denture office in my area. I don't believe it's one my dentist works with, but I will ask.
Damien h thank you!... just afraid it's too late at this point. 😩
What do you mean removable and hers not? My dentist mentioned snap on but it's where he takes it off. I work in a Dental office and it's so bad with these teeth. Both of you looks really great!
I've been following Kalin's story 4-5mobths ago and watched her videos and I was amaze with her story ! and her smiles is so contagious and I told myself I wanted that SMILE, as I watched her videos she mention about the materials used and the product , the company Ivovclar/ Vivadent Phonares Teeth , I did researched more and emailed some one , and I said to myself ,well maybe they will not answer me or just ignore me ! But only a few minutes I got an email from the company in New York and her name is Natale ZOELLA from corporate and she said if we could speak , she called me and I was trilled that some one from Ivoclar listened , I told her that I hate my dentures and I do not like my smile ! My dentist does not listen,that the dentures that was made from her clinic is not a very good quality material , so I told NATALE , if she knows of a dentist that used the phonares teeth because I told her about Kalin's video and NATALE even send me a link to another denture wearer , Amy ! I told NATALE I don't want implant I'm scared , so from there she did found a dentist for me and also a lab here in Las Vegas that uses the Ivoclar product , I called the dentist , had my initial appointment in February , X-rays were made and how much it will cost ..etc..came in to a comfortable figure of dollar amount , had my impressions done 3weeks ago and will back this Wednesday June 21,2017 to have a fitting ! I really glad that I was able to watched Kalin's video to find out that there's a product that looks so natural inside your mouth ! Both Kalin & Amy are inspiration to me ! I wanted to thanked NATALE ZOELLA so much that she gave me the phonares teeth to be use for my dentures ! Nice to see Kalin & Amy doing this video ! More power to both !Tess BUENAVENTURA Las Vegas , NV.
I'm 16 years old and I have had them since 5th grade. I feel like I can't be in public. I feel different from my friends and everybody else😣😣
Ricky...there just Teeth...what really matter is whats inside you and how you treat other people. You hang in there !
Your not different, I struggled to and your feelings are very valid but it’s no different then someone missing an arm, a leg, being blind, crippled, deaf. That’s what I try to tell myself it could be worse I promise. Keep your head up and the people who should be in your life will accept you anyway and if they don’t then you don’t need them. Stay strong 💪
This is a wonderful video and I wish I could meet you two ladies.
If a person has nice straight teeth, but has to have some removed because of cracking(molars), can they take an impression of the teeth before extraction and then make teeth that are in the dentures look just like the persons original teeth?
that is pretty good story
I been following your page and decide to get denture thank you
but kind a struggling about this teeth to dealing
I hope to get the kind teeth thats my dream!
You are such an inspiration
I'm absolutely telling you you two are absolutely inspiring. It takes your confidence and beat you down. you feel like that the Dennis are just sitting out there just waiting to jump into your bank account. Mine started when I was a young boy acid reflux was a huge Factor. Then they put mercury fillings in my teeth and decided that they all had to come out. I don't have my dentures yet but I'm watching everything that I can to inform myself. I will make this happen just trying to figure out the right way to do it
How much is the cost for the implants and a upper bridge with the best material? It's very frustrating to know everything in America turns in to business because the cost of school is too expensive
Thanks for all the info. You have prepped me for future consultations. Compared tho to you 2 women with the neon white teeth mine will be considerably darker...
I live in Lakeland, Fl. Kali and would love to have some help in finding a good dentist to talk to about these teeth! Please advise. :)
I need so much work done but have so many other things that are more important than myself. I take my dad to his cancer treatments and my mom has dementia so I can’t worry about myself but oh my goodness how I would love to have these.. I have had a thyroidectomy and now autoimmune issues and celiac. I have had some teeth to break and didn’t understand what was wrong, found out it is from my health. I am in the beauty industry and work with brides & weddings and I can’t do that proudly when I have visible issues. I now have to help with my parents so not working as much like before, I wish it wasn’t so expensive.
Thank you!!!!
what kind of dentures does AMY have?? i am watching and listening yet I'm not hearing where? what kind of dentures are they called? how much do they cost?
shelly bomb they are the Phonares teeth in a removable denture.
Amy D thank you! I'm not asking how much they cost as i know every case is different, but i do wanna ask how much did yours cost? THEY look absolutely amazing!!! it's your smile that really encourages me to just do it! ;) They are gorgeous just gorgeous!
Yes sadly it does vary from case to case and dentists and labs etc and even where you live I've noticed can make a difference in cost but mine for top and bottom were under 4,000 and that included all of my visits etc I had had dentures for 5 yrs prior so I didn't have all of the extraction and surgical costs.
shelly bomb thank you and I'm certain yours will too when you take that next step in your journey nothing is more rewarding and emotionally healing than having your smile back ❤️
Amy D thank you for the inspiration. ❤
Searching for removable dentures. TY
Hi calin, just want to ask how much do they cost?
I'm going on Monday to get dentures. I'm scared to death. I m a student, no income Airbnb cut me off, but managed to enroll and got Medicaid. I was wondering if Medicaid covers ivoclora phenor dentures.
I know I will never be able to save enough or be able to afford a beautiful smile like you beautiful women have 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢but as of April 21, 2023 there’s no turning back I’m scared 😳
when Amy says she called, who did she call? what company did she call?
shelly bomb ivoclear
❤️❤️❤️
omg you two are just like me. I am 37 years old and I've known since age 27 I'd need dentures........Much like u Amy, It started with fillings in my front teeth and my teeth hurt ALL OF THE TIME. I am facing this right now. I have no top teeth......and haven't worn dentures because I can hide it well, but now my bottom teeth are going and just had 2 more bottom teeth just pulled and i am on my way to full dentures and i am so scared. I am so young and i just want dental implants.....I can't afford them. I hated my temps....they are clunky and huge!!!! I am so depressed and crying right now..... because I know I won't feel any better with dentures. I am going to hate not feeling my palate. I just want to give up. I am crying through this whole video and I am struggling so bad. If I had any money it'd go to teeth that feel better........ I am so miserable and don't know who to talk to cuz no one understands me........where do I find a place to help me????
Hope you are feeling better now Lisa❤️
What can you do if you can't do implants.(I've had one and my body rejected it). I have my horrible bulky temporary dentures that cause sore areas and the bottoms are so loose.
leslie thompson mine are removable no implants same teeth as Kristi same product just in a removable denture.
Anti Establishment Roy dental lab made mine my dentist did all the impressions and measurements. Yes they had to order them it didn't take long at all.
I wish i could get financial support so i can get extractions and dentures, i wanna be pain free and healthy again. I really love this vid 💕
Love you both❤️
I just turned 30 and after two kids I'm on the fence about getting dentures. I barely have any top back teeth and my teeth are deteriorating between the gum and tooth (pockets if you will). I'm scared my face will look different. I can barely chew and my best friend is orajel.
l wish l knew what the price range is for Amy's dentures. ls ten grand about right?
I need your teeth so bad! Going to have all my top teeth pulled at the beginning of September and gotta go 3 months without teeth. You're so lucky Amy! You have a beautiful set of teeth❤️
Sena Cooper see about an immediate. Her teeth are beautiful !
I would do anything for a perfect smile, my dentists refuse to remove my teeth and give me dentures but they also refuse to give me probono work also or refused cost. It takes forever to get in at the recent dentist graduates school. I would rather die than go on with my teeth.
How are you these days? Hope you’re doing well.
That’s horrible, hope you found a better dentist and you’re doing better.
Really I wish the dentists I used would have advised me to keep my teeth. They looked bad and had a few missing up front but I used clip in veneers and had no problem eating what I wanted. Now everyday is a gd struggle to eat even soft foods and the bone will shrink away. You don't need dentures for a smile....they fucking pulled all them and feel ashamed of myself for letting them do so. I'm going to spend way more on fake teeth with implants now than I would have otherwise. Dentures is a last resort.
@Jake Barrett sad. I’m facing getting like 8-10 crowns on my molars and pre molars (I’m 35). I don’t know if it’d be better to pull them and get implants or implant supported partial dentures. Maybe you could try implant supported dentures? It’s cheaper than full implants or all on 4 I think. Some people say they get more used to dentures over time. Hope you can get some better teeth. It’s hard having bad teeth 😞
@@milliem8051 Yes...i can get implants to perserve bone and stabilize dentures and hopefully add some bite force back ...but it'll be 10,000 for 10 mini implants....im just ashamed of myslef...i had a gut feeling that i shouldn't have done it and strange why they wanted to...they didnt even wanna try to save my teeth....i was only missing 4. Idk anymore, people are fucked up and i gave the benefit of the doubt... Maybe he was making commission on me or something of that sort. I would totally do crowns if your roots are stable and strong as mine were, you have a good foundation so I would definitely keep the teeth. I'm spending way more money in the long run letting them extract them and im emotionally in fucked up. Ohh well wtf can I do now but try to come up with 10 fucking grand.
