Was it painful to get the implant? I had a tooth extracted yesterday and it was the worst pain ever. I’m supposed to have an implant done several months from now, after the extraction is healed, but I might change my mind about getting it done if the pain is too bad. I don’t want to go through more excruciating pain
@@bane_mane_473 Sorry to hear about your tooth pain. It wasn't painful. I had a decaying tooth inside my crown so I couldn't save it. Keeping your gums healthy is key. I use a tongue scraper every night. I also ate goat milk kefir to increase my calcium. The most painful thing I ever had done was a root canal.
I am over 60 and currently have 25 teeth. I had an upper tooth next to the left wisdom tooth removed over 30 years ago due to an infection in a prior root canal area. The root canal had been done 5-10 years prior. I then had the three wisdom teeth not by the extracted tooth removed 30 about 30 years ago. Finally, I had the lower left next to last tooth removed for same reason as the one above it. This was two teeth over from where the wisdom tooth would have been and was about 20 years after the wisdom teeth extractions. My top teeth look very straight. My bottom teeth are only slightly leaning toward the extracted tooth area and are leaning no further now than they were 10 or 15 years ago. I have not had any teeth pain since last extraction. My dental hygienists have always told me my teeth look really good, just prior to telling me I should think about getting into the habit of flossing them. None of the dentists have ever suggested bridges or implants. One dental hygienist said I could look into cost of implants if I was ever interested in it and he recommended a dental guard at night due to excessive night time grinding. I've gone through two dental guards niw and can tell they were a good suggestion from all the teeth marks on the bottom of them before they start falling apart after about six months.
@@acornsucks2111 I have 3 broken crowns, and I want to learn as much as I can about missing teeth. This is a thorough explanation. Your opinion is much like *acorn.
Thank you for explaining your dental situation! I have spaces caused by 3 crowns which broke off at the gum line. I got an implant in place of a crown which broke off about 18 years ago. I'm trying to figure out what to do... Without Money OR Insurance. 🤔
@@paulajohnston2990Try Care Credit card. They have long term interest free payments. If it's 2400 over 2 years, and minimum is 50.00, pay 110+ so you're done by 24 months. Under no circumstances be late or pay under the 50. You'd have to pay interest back to the charged date. That would suck. It's very legit. Otherwise. They also pay cash back (to your statement) on anything at 2% Keep after it, tho. They do have higher screw ups than any other card.
Is this only for after an extraction love? What happens if there’s a fracture in the tooth but the roots are still in? Asking for a friend, thanks… 👍🏽👍🏽💕💗💗
I had an implant set years ago (2017). My insurance said they would cover it but then I had to switch jobs and my new insurance said they wouldn’t cover the rest of the treatment. Is it fine for just the implant to be there? To my knowledge I don’t see my jaw “collapsing” or anything of that matter. I do plan to finish the rest of the procedure when I have the money.
An implant usually gets placed and then covered and left to heal for 2 to 3 months. After this time, a crown is connected to the implant via an abutment. It may be worth checking if you can break down the cost of treatment with your dentist, i.e first-stage surgery to place the implant, then second-stage surgery to uncover the healed gum to connect the crown.
Sadly, that arch collapse happened to my teeth ☹I asked kriss ai if I could still have a dental implant even after 11 years and it said yes but the amount of bone available in the jaw where the implant needs to be placed must be considered..
Same here. i need to have a bone graft because i left mine too long... now theyre saying theres not enough space as other teeth have shifted too i am grinding my teeth since my bite has changed and its affecting it,... i asked KRISS AI assistant and she told me i have few options like ortho,mini implants, bridge or a partial denture. so thank god i came across it! She gives me hassle free recommendations and answers to all my tooth horror questions that im uncomfortable asking the dentists #socialanxiety LOL
Neglecting missing teeth can cause functional, aesthetic, and speech issues, aligning with Kriss's answer. Delaying treatment may lead to arch collapse and bone loss, complicating future options like implants.
Is it generally better to crown teeth (with core build up, to replace large fillings), than to get implants? All my molars need crowns, I was wondering if I should look into implant fixed bridge. I definitely can’t afford 8 Individual implants.
Thanks for your question. It will depend on your individual circumstances but generally speaking, a dentist will aim to keep a patient's natural teeth for as long as possible - providing they can be restored back to and maintained in a healthy state.
The jaw bone begins to resorb within six weeks of a tooth being extracted and within the first 12 months after a tooth is removed, it's estimated that about 50% of the bone width is lost. A lack of bone can make it difficult to place an implant and achieve a successful outcome. A bone graft may be recommended in these cases.
Sorry I was told I couldn’t have an implant it was they were going to do is drill a hole into my sinuses to anchor the implant. That sounds absolutely crazy.
This doesn't sound right. You are best to get a second opinion from another dentist. A lot of pre-planning goes into avoiding nerves and sinuses to help eliminate complications. It may be that your sinus floor has dropped and needs to be lifted back up and grafted in order for an implant to be placed.
Im a teen 16 years of age female I got my second molar removed Dental implsnts are so expensive What age am i gonna be experiencing noticable bone loss ?
I have a coworker who had a tooth pulled at the age of 17. She's in her late 30s with a beautiful smile, never had an implant, tooth hasn't shifted much and has no bone loss. She was blessed because hers is a tooth in the back.
Hi there! The first step would be to see a dentist who can provide you with a bone scan (preferably onsite, check for this) to check jawbone quality and quantity and see if it's possible to place an implant, either with the existing support or by building up the jawbone using a bone grafting procedure. Hope this helps.
Not at all. Get some other opinions. I have a missing tooth, 8 years now, and none of this is true for me. Bone is fine, spacing is good...only the prices get worse......go figure. Plus, I can chew on the gum which is nearly as good as the tooth. This surprised me......
It's definitely not too late. It all depends on the amount and quality of jawbone available to hold an implant in place. Your dentist may recommend a bone graft to build up the jawbone prior to placing implants. Time is the factor that can complicate things, as the jawbone is in its best state before a tooth is removed.
Prosthetic teeth that rely on adjacent teeth or suction to stay in place and that not supported by implants, won't support the jaw bone in the same way dental implants do. This can result jaw bone loss and a sunken facial appearance. While everyone is prone to a degree of bone loss as part of the natural ageing process, it occurs most prominently in jaws which are missing teeth or affected by gum disease.
@@perthdentalimplantcentre What happens to the hole created by tooth extraction? Will bone replace the root or will I need a bone graft in order to hold an implant?
How do people get help when the insurance company won't pay it so much and they won't accept Medicare and people talk about how affordable I've been disabled for a long time and don't have that type of money I don't know how in the world people that are disabled and living on their own afford anything anymore we do without and we die
Yeah, it is a problem, but others lose kidney function or worse and have to deal with that, so take some heart by basking in the cold light of your lesser problem.
If a dental implant is not an option for you, you might ask your dentist about a dental bridge (if the two missing teeth are side by side ) or alternatively, a partial denture may be recommended.
I had lost a tooth and I it's ok not to have an implant because implants have many complications that the dentists don't want to go in detail, as it affects their business. So those who want to have rct and implant just have it removed and leave it.
Thanks for your contribution. Certainly, dental implant treatment is not for everyone and surgical risks apply (as with every surgical procedure). These risks are discussed in detail with every patient prior to them committing to treatment. Having said this, documented success rates for dental implants are more than 90% over a 15-year period and treatment is backed by 30 years of clinical research.
@@perthdentalimplantcentre I had an implant and lost my appetite, have u watch root cause documentary about root canal, I don't want to demean dental profession, but still keeping foreign elements like implant and gutta percha inside human body is against basic human science, our immune system fights against them and tries to oust it from human body. If it cannot, results in compromised immune system, clinical studies don't include these issues, and most of the patients who fail to recognise the root cause are suffering without knowing what they are suffering from. Surgical risks are the least risks compared to actual risks.
Missing most of my back teeth especially on my right side for almost two years. No money Medical and IEHP don't cover dentures or partials. People make fun of me. Especially my neighbors I'm embarrass of myself

Welfare doesn’t cover implants. My sister was on state care, they only covered pulling her teeth and the cheapest dentures. Which is better than nothing but not great.
For a country that puts so much emphasis on smiling, the American health care system is very chintzy with affordable dental care.
Going through the process of replacing my missing tooth with an implant was worth it. So glad I did it.
Who paid for it?
@@acornsucks2111 Myself + dental discount plan. Payments are in stages since the process is lengthy so that was super helpful.

What is your opinion of the LANAP procedure for the start of bone loss? Is it effective in rejuvinating tissues?
I regret using dentures over 10 yrs now 😭😭 i should optd for implants i'm experiencing significant bone loss.. is there still hope for this??
Yes! Kriss said that if you get a bone graft, dental implants are still possible in your case. But it's better if you check with your dentist first.
My mother's teeth are like this. She says her dentures become loose over time.
@@TitusMonger same with my grandma, she needs glue for her dentures
How long is too long doctor?

A lack of bone can make it difficult to place an implant and achieve a successful outcome. A bone graft may be recommended in these cases.
How long is "too long"?
I waited 2 years, the surgeon said that time was perfect (in Denmark). He said bone loss would start to accure if waited much longer.
Sorry I was told I couldn’t have an implant it was they were going to do is drill a hole into my sinuses to anchor the implant. That sounds absolutely crazy.
