      How are the options grim? There's literally dozens of options to getting the smile you want. And wtf does gender reassignment surgery have to do with teeth? It's not like those types of surgeries and/or hormones are cheap. The two aren't even comparable anyways, you just wanted to be transphobic. Grow up.

    My mother wore dentures for about 30 years and towards the end of her life she had very little bone left and none of the other options were available for her. I wish I known about other options earlier and she could have a better quality of life. But she never complained. That’s how wonderful she was.

      Ask your dentists about mini implants. They are fairly inexpensive and work very well. Especially for patients with severe bone loss.

    • @smileclinicusa
      @smileclinicusa  Год назад +5

      Mini implants require surgery just like standard implants, the main difference is they are less strong and more likely to have problems. We prefer to alter where the implants are placed rather than place a weaker and less stable implant. Give us a call at 801-590-8694

      In reality, this IS the cheaper option. Up until the 3 on 6, the average permanent full mouth restoration (All-on-4) was $80k. Our 3 on 6 system has cut that price in half and many doctors doing things the old way are unhappy that we are driving prices down. We understand that it's not affordable for everyone. The 3 on 6 is the best permanent smile restoration available but for those who want something cheap, there are other options such as dentures and implant supported dentures.

My mom raised Me by herself and was working three jobs to get by and to take care of me and my four brothers. Long story short, all of my teeth have deteriorated and I have four abscesses right now. I have been dealing with severe tooth decay for 10 years and the worst part is that I have no credit. No bad credit but no credit and CareCredit will not help me.

    • @smileclinicusa
      @smileclinicusa  2 года назад +8

      To use the car analogy you proposed: dentures are like driving a 1990 Honda Civic. For many people they are happy in a car that doesn't have power steering or air conditioning or modern safety features. And that's okay. The 3 on 6 is like driving a brand new Lexus. It is more comfortable (permanent, no large plastic in the roof of your mouth), more safe (protects from bone deterioration), more convenient (doesn't have to be removed each night, rinsed in chemicals, and glued back in everyday), and higher performing (you can eat steak, apples, corn on the cob, anything you want!).
      So there's no right answer for every single person, but all things considered, an implant restored 3 on 6 smile is far superior than a removable acrylic denture.

    This makes me feel sick to my stomach. I have had dentures for almost 10 years and I absolutely hate it. Having dentures has caused me to not go out and make friends or be around people. It has taken any self esteem I had. When I laugh or smile around family, I look down or hide my smile because I feel so horrible about myself. This is going to the front of my WISHLIST. I will start to save every bit of money I get for this procedure. Perhaps I would start a youtube channel and document my entire process of getting it done. If it helps me, I am sure I would want to share it with the world. Im only in my early 30's. I have to fix this problem or my life will continue to degrade and stay in a place that isnt healthy, all because of the beautiful smile I had at one point in my life. GRRR.

      Absolutely not - I, along with countless other Americans, do not want to pay higher premiums to help reverse the effects of the poor personal decisions of others. Smoking, drug abuse, poor oral hygiene and diet is the leading cause of tooth loss and decay - why should those that live a healthy lifestyle be penalized for those that don't? Of course dentists would be OK with this because that would mean more patients and guaranteed profits but the average responsible American values self-accountability and consequences for one's actions or inaction. I would become a political activist quick if this issue was on the table and donate all that I could to avoid becoming more of a nanny state. If we could separate those accident victims with otherwise healthy teeth, that is one thing, but to replace a mouth full of decay with expensive implants is an outrageous suggestion.

I have always tried to look after my teeth e.g. brushing twice a day etc. But looking back i do think that some of the dentists i,ve had , have really done early unnecessary work . I have several crowns, and one that came out recently cannot be put back, due to crack in what,s left of my tooth !!

    I went to the dentist and had a 'flipper made with 1 tooth', he charged me $325.00 so a few years later I went to a dentist in my hometown, he was the son of my former dentist who retired, he was also great at pulling teeth just like his dad, so I'd lost 3 more teeth and he made me a flipper with 3 teeth and only charged me $125.00, he wasn't out to make a killing but to help me smile again. This flipper was made of acrylic & was so comfortable, I guess it was like a temporary removal bridge, IDK but have been told by a dental assistant that "this thing" is only for temporary purposes but I've had it for 3 years, it has served me well, so last year I had a crown break off at the gum line & had to have the eye tooth removed. I have 5 implants & want to get snap in dentures. I think dentists over charge people way so much that we can't afford to get our teeth fixed. I had as much dental work done as possible before I retired because Medicare doesn't cover dental work. Last Nov. I did take out Dental Insurance but the policy must be in force for 6 months b4 they'll pay anything towards a crown or fillings, then you pay half of the price. Xrays & teeth cleaning are covered from the start. My teeth started going bad at age 50 from medications for arthritis.

Over dentures on implants replace thr ridge loss with acrylic for proper lip support.Unfortunately 3 on 6 seems to be a good alternative ,but theirs no added acrylic for gum support and without gum between the teeth ,the teeth tend to look like a row of chicklets and are very expensive.

I went to this dentist I found on line in Charlotte, NC. First thing the dentist said to me why did you not take care of your teeth, which I felt like slapping his face, I've had 9 root canals, wore braces from my late 30s to my mid 40. Lost every tooth that had a root canal. Then he proceed to tell me I was not qualified for dental implants, and he said first of all at that time, you are 65 years old, second you been on bone dentist meds and that breaks your gums down. he pulled my teeth, and mad me some 3-g teeth, the teeth were to big, the gums were larger than the teeth
      And I could not even shut my mouth. One other thing he was going to pick the color of my teeth, and I told him no sir your not, I am paying for these and I will be picking out my teeth. Took them home and mailed them back to him the next day. He had took a new impression and was going to have a new set made for me. But when I called and told them I was mailing them back and to forget the impression, and that I would find someone else to make me some. Which I did that Thursday. The teeth look good, but that is it. I have yet to learn to eat with them. I wear them when I got out in public, and that is it. Very disappointed!

      @smileclinicusa  2 года назад +2

      Dentures are certainly an option but come with many drawbacks. The bone in the mouth will continue to deteriorate without implants, causing the denture to stop fitting properly and it will need to be adjusted again and again. You also lose sensations of taste with dentures and it can cause mouth sores, gagging, and excess saliva. Your diet is also more restricted with dentures. Many of our patients started in dentures and hated them so much that they decided to do the 3 on 6™. There is no right answer for every person, but most people would prefer a permanent implant based solution like the 3 on 6™.

    The cost is outrageous. When you think of the material involved, low cost, how much does that little amount of acrylic cost, and to place screws in the mouth, 6 screws couldn’t cost too much, it’s all done in a lab, and since a majority of people have partials or full sets by the time they are 50, seems like a giant racket. Dentistry appears to have caused more people to need dentures than to have prevented tooth loss in adults. But $20 k for dentures is a bit hard to swallow. $2k should be reasonable, if they could actually be worn comfortably by the recipient. Since prescription eye glasses can be ready in 17 minutes (for two pair) at less than $500, you’d think dentures could be somewhere in the same price range.

    Dental care has always been extremely expensive. And it's now even more expensive. With all the new technologies how to improve a dental implant or dentures, it should be affordable for everyone, without to struggle to paying it back. I mean everyone needs teeth, you have to eat properly in order to keep healthy and you need to be healthy that you can work so and if you work you need to talk and smile occasionally and if people see you have no teeth or a lot missing, unfortunately people judge you because of your image.

    I received 9 implants 6 on top for a fixed non removable bridge and 3 on the bottom for a snap on denture for under 10k in Colombia. It was the same exact treatment and material they use in the USA. My question would be why does that same procedure in America Costs 50k to 75k. I’m so glad I never need to deal with a rip off American dentist again in my life. Colombia is absolutely safe and absolutely beautiful. You will not regret it.

    • @SmileSystems3on6
      @SmileSystems3on6 2 года назад

      A few reasons why you may pay less in Colombia:
      (1) Material quality: Although you say they used the same materials they use in the U.S., how can you be sure? Even doctors within the U.S. use different materials one from another, causing some doctors to be cheaper or more expensive: There are various classes of titanium, various classes of ceramics and porcelains, various types of bone graft, etc.
      (2) You have zero consumer protections. It is all but impossible to take a foreign company or individual to court and compel them to fix any damage done or reimburse you for damages. This lack of risk on their end means they can charge less knowing if something goes wrong they will not have to pay for it.
      (3) Looser government regulations: Colombia does not have national or state dental licensure examinations like the U.S. They also do not require continuing education courses like the U.S.
      (4) Cost of living: The cost of living in Colombia is about 1/4th the cost of the U.S. So naturally, businesses can charge less for all sorts of services. This also happens in the United States. For example, the cost of an apartment in Manhattan is a lot more than one in rural New York. Businesses in areas with a lower cost of living generally can charge less and stay in business.
      In the end, there's no right or wrong answer, but there are some real reasons why you might pay less in a foreign country and it's not because you're being ripped off by a greedy dentist in the U.S.

When I was finished I brought a implant to bring home with me so my dentist friend could look at it and examine the X-rays and the quality of work. The truth is he couldn’t believe his eyes. He said he’s glad his career is almost over and he will be retiring soon because after seeing the work I had done he can not see future generations getting there dental work in America especially with the review system we have these days. No matter where dentist are located if there reviews are awful they will be out of business. Now everyone in my family and everyone else who told me I was crazy for going to Colombia for dental work is asking me where the office is located that I went to. Even if I had millions of dollars I wouldn’t ever give a dentist 50k to 80k for something I can get while vacationing for a fraction of the cost. The internet era and RUclips has opened ordinary citizens eyes that we have been being completely ripped off for way to long. This was one for the team the citizens deserve affordable dental.

After about 5 minutes its like your mouth is on fire but in a good way. A one ounce bottle lasts for months. A lot of experts believe the PH of the saliva is also vitally important.

    The fact that you can’t find even a price range tells me they are freaking expensive. Quite frankly dentures aren’t that bad. They are not expensive after initial purchase. Ive had mine for 15 years; the same pair. I’ve needed no fixes and they stay in my mouth without glue of any kind.

Carbonated drinks, sugary sweets, ice cream, chocolate, the list goes on and on. In moderation this is ok, the reality is they don't moderate. Then later it's tobacco on top. Smoking absolutely destroys teeth and gums. People will always tend to blame anything but themselves. Aside from the small percentage of people with genetic weakness or problems as a result of a disease, the vast majority are just not taking care of themselves. The average American has lost 12 teeth by the time they're 50, 69% of all adults between 35 and 44 have lost at least some permanent teeth, and over 20 million are using dentures, plus millions, exact figure isn't known, have implants. That huge number has nothing to do with medication or genetics, it's the terrible diet, lack of oral hygiene, and failure to visit the dentist once or twice a year that's responsible for most of that. We need to start with the kids. The stuff that's marketed to them is the cause of bad teeth, obesity and an epidemic of type 2 diabetes in people as young as 18 years old. The US is by far the unhealthiest developed nation on earth, followed closely, strangely enough by the UK. If the root problems of diet are not solved people are doomed to an unhealthy short life. Ironically the medications that cause oral problems are often drugs used to fight diabetes and cancer. It's a vicious circle.

      Of course, and I do sympathise with you. There are situations including an illness or genetic condition that causes tooth loss. However 57% of Americans who are ages 65 to 74 wear some form of dentures 51% of Americans ages 55 to 64 have either full or partial dentures and an incredible 29%of Americans ages 45 to 55 wear dentures. 19% aged 18-44 have dentures. That's nothing to do with disease or genetics. Those figures are horrendous and are mostly down to bad diet, sugary drinks, candy, sweetened cereals, and not visiting the dentist regularly. For most a change of diet, regular brushing and flossing, and a once or twice yearly visit to a dentist will keep their teeth healthy. I'm over 60, our mum brought us as soon as the first permanent tooth erupted. I and my younger brother and older sister have all our teeth. I've a crown on one that got broken when I had a climbing accident. Most people will keep their teeth it they spend a little time looking after them. I'm not criticising you, it wasn't your fault.

    With the 3 0n 6, your not adding any artificial pink gum/bone to fill out the face. Most people who are looking to get the all on four already have major bone loss. With the all on four, the dentist can artificially replace that bone, helping to fill out the face and increasing the vertical dimension of occlusion. I understand the 3 0n 6 help's preserve bone and stimulate bone growth, but this seem's more of an advantage for someone who is going straight from extraction's. In my opinion, these model's still have denture face and you can hardly see the teeth when they speak! Again, this is my opinion!

      Exactly, I just had the scans done which by the way cost 300 dollars. The result is bone grafting is needed and some other problem with nerves where one of the implants would go. Dr, said it would need to be done by a dental surgeon. The price is way to much for me to get done. I have to laugh because I was told by my denturist that it would probably cost 12k and after seeing the periodontist the price is well over 20k. These are Canadian dollars as I am in Canada.
