Excellent information! I am a U.S. expat currently living in Costa Rica. I recently had the All-On-4 done here in Costa Rica. The care was excellent, dentists were highly educated and skilled, and the materials were superior grade! Total cost with a discount $15,000. This also includes IV sedation, x-rays and scans. I currently am wearing the temps, and healing nicely. I am shocked at how much the procedure costs in the U.S. Now I understand why so many people come to Costa Rica for this procedure. A fellow patient told me, it was cheaper for her to fly from New York round trip, have the procedure done, hotel stay, than it was to have the same procedure done in New York.
Singapore and India have excellent plans. Did the implant surgery , 4 pins, came back to Australia and did the prostheses after 20 months with excellent bone & gum grafting. After 10 years minor adjustments done. All up costs including flights and hotel,$ 17,000.
Absolutely informative, crystal clear on multiple points (including pros and cons), excellent technical descriptions of the temporary and permanent prosthesis types! Thank you, Drl Choi.
Thank you Dr. Choi. Your videos have meant a lot to me in the process of getting all on 4s. I just wish I lived near Texas to have mine done through you all.
Thank you for all of this. Very valuable information for sure! I thought I did enough research, and I didn't. At least now I know what to look out for when I go for my final set of teeth. I'm now in the healing stages and about 3 weeks out from being done. This has been such a long and dreadful journey. So far, I've cracked my temporary teeth in half 3 times. If I had the choice to do it all over again, I absolutely wouldn't. I know the look is going to be movie star stunning, but the feel of your own real teeth is something that cannot be duplicated. Implant bridges and crowns were just fine. Ugh!
Thank you for sharing great information; l am not as fearful now that I have watched your video. I don't have any upper teeth, so I will only have to go through the healing process after the surgery is done. I will take your advice and wait for the swelling to go down before letting them put the permanent implants in. Thank you again.
Thank you so very much for your informative unbiased information. I wish you folks had a location here in Georgia. Even though I'm on disability and went to an implant specialist locally I was told because I was approved through a third company up to a certain amount that the procedure now would cost a dollar less than the amount I was approved for. I have to say at least now I understand why I see some difference in the prices your videos obviously explain the difference very well on all aspects. Don't know what to do at this point I'm scared I don't want to have a huge 700 to $1,000 monthly payment. Thank you
Excellent informative and very thorough video! This video is by far one if the most informative I've seen in my research of getting implants myself. What I wish they were more of is a discussion of how do they cost in general. Knowing no patients cost are alike it would esse my apprehension at least for me to know what the price of each stage of the implant and prosthetics?
Very nice information. Today I have to go for consultation for my all on 4. I am in Pennsylvania otherwise I have contact you. Thanks for the information.
Great information, thank you! It’s a difficult task to know what to do when you are the patient and faced with extensive dentalwork. Wanting the best possible outcome for the least amount of money is normal, especially when dealing with the enormous fees associated with dental services. The cost alone eliminates the vast majority of people needing such services, but even those who seemingly can afford it often manage to do so by borrowing from family, friends and of course, the bank, cashing in 401Ks despite the penalties and fees, etc.. Still, few people understand what they are buying other than, hopefully nice looking, well fitted and functional teeth that will last. It is an enormous blessing to have a doctor willing to share with the patient (if asked) what it is they personally would do if they were the patient. As with most things and cases, the cheapest route is ultimately the most expensive one over the long haul, because of inferior products that just are not as durable and will require replacement over time. Explaining why you would make the choices you would can help the patient a great deal. It allows the patient a greater sense of team colaberation. Even if the patient chooses a different route than what the doctor would, still the process is very helpful in aiding the patient to better understand the options and the overall effect of them. This allows the patient to perform due diligence on their own behalf so that they can feel confident that they are making the best decisions for their situation that they can. Thank you for wanting to help patients better understand the myriad of choices before them regarding implants.
Great info but with all due respect, my Hybrid prosthesis made in 2009 has not worn out or stained. I had digital temps ~5 months then finals. Maybe I'm not as hard on them as others. I did have one rear tooth break off about 7 years in but it was repaired without charge. They suggested new zirconium which were not a ting when I had mine done, but there was no pressure to buy up after that one brief mention.
I have a snapin denture. Money was the main reason i settled on this. I was able to get my teeth pulled, bone graph, 4 implants, and temporary and final denture for $9400. My issue is, having worn the denture for 6 months I realized the Pallet really bothers me and my dss prefers to leave the pallet for more suport. I shared this with my dss and he suggested I go with a zirconium arch prostitic instead. His office doesn't do them but he assured me the implants would carry it. I've been trying to find out how much it would cost for just getting the zirconium full arch made and installed but no one want to even give me a ball park price.
Becouse it's a RIP off price and they know when they get you in the chair they can milk you for every dollar dental work is way over priced and a greed driven industry
I'm trying to find that out as well because I was just told I can have acrylic arch and all on 4 in the US for an okay price but I can't find out how much it will be for the zirconia prosthesis.
Prices vary a lot according to where you area. In the US, especially so if there are a lot of competing dentists providing the service. I can tell you that my dentist does All-on-4 starting at $14,500 per arch -- but that's including implant placement, which I think is the larger part. You may get a lower price for just the prosthesis. Other places are quite a bit lower or quite a lot higher in terms of overall cost.
At 17:14 the question was what was the cost difference between the hybrid, zirconia and nanoceramic. You answered by listing the drawbacks of the hybrid. In general, how much more would I be expecting to pay to upgrade to the zirconia or nanoceramic?
good question because we dont even offer the hybrid as a final. based off what I've seen in the past I think $3-5k is typical. be aware that zirconia is not all the same. there are certain levels of quality that different labs use to make final zirconia. this is why price can really range
@@tammywheeler7463 Titatium 23 is the medical grade designation. Very few providers spend the money for this but the good ones do. It’s the same grade titanium used in hip implants.
I have been searching your videos to try and find out if the zirconia or nano ceramic options you are talking about have a titanium bar? I cannot find this explanation anywhere and trying to understand how that is made- My dentist says that she will do the all on 4 with a fixed implant supported bridge , but she did say something about it having a bar embedded in the prothesis , but she did say it is made of zirconia so i am very confused about that - so is the Zirconia and nano you speak of have a bar ?
zirconia structure has a titanium bar, the nanoceramic has a nanoceramic bar which then is fused to the structure. Nothing will separate with the nanoceramic.
Why does literally every dentist in South texas advertise the total cost for the full procedure of full mouth implants is 19 to 22 thousand. But when you call they won't confirm or deny that price and when you go there the actual price is significantly higher. Are dentist allowed to get away with false advertisement?
I just got full mouth implants..wearing temporary now..its been 3 days..im in no pain just some face swelling. Also my toungue is taking a beating on the implant screws. Got some wax to fix that. Thats the most pain ive experienced. One day procedure cost me 60k. That covers the temooary..maitenance for 5 years and the permanent set
Thank you so much. This was extremely helpful. i havevsevere/advanced periodontitis and my periodentist thought inmay not qualify for implants and preferred that I see an oralbsurgeonbthat he recommended. I felt relieved when the oral surgeon said he can do 4 on one . so he will do bone grafting in my upper jaw, and a dentist will place an all on 4 don't know yet which ones). I'll have local anesthesia in oral surgeon office. For my bottom jaw, no bone grafting IS needed before the all on 4. it will cost me a little more than 50k..I applied for care credit loan , they approved me only for $5000. i am not sure if the price is reasonable. seems very high
So do dentists Garentee there work ? Or do patients have to sign a waiver limiting you from any liability? Is there any legal recourse for damages? No buddy wants to address this ? Will you ?
You are a Saint! Is there any place in the Delray beach Boca Raton,Boynton Beach Florida...my teeth are in really Bad shape. I just had a crown With a post fall out of the front Of my mouth. I have an appointment on Tuesday for a consultation at one of those places that put your permanent ones in 24 hours I am glad I found you and will call Monday and cancel it. I am so glad I found you. I wish you were here!
I'm 77 years old, wanting to have All on 4 done. What would be my best options? I'm in good health but let's be realistic, 15 to 20 more years left if everything goes well. I am a 100% disabled veteran, combat wounds and PTSD. Would greatly appreicate your advise. Your Video is outstanding.
My husband is veteran he went to the VA to have his teeth removed and I think they are giving him snap ons and by the way Thank you for your service sir
If you get dental thru VA you can try to fight to get an implant consult done . If they approve the treatment, they will cover the cost for community care if VA hospital doesn't do . I'm still trying to get VA in SC to approve my community care providers' findings for Allon4 bridges . Good luck brother
What do you think of clearchoice? I have healthy teeth in my upper mouth but they still want to pull all of em. They said they can't get the infection to go away and want to pull the teeth, & it was a very weak explanation total cost for the top is 32000. I am so freaked out about it. He says in 6weeks I will have my permanent teeth, but most say like you 4-6months. I have Healthy bone on one side & a working bridge that doesn't hurt or bother me. But they wan to do the all on 4. To me it seems like 4 implants and I only get my 1st molars with prothesis not my second molars. When I smile you can see i am missing my second molars, it has me really concerned and tbh I don't fully trust them. He reminded me of a car sales man. But they told me all I need is 3 implants on bottom 1 for each tooth. The rest are healthy enough to be crowned/veneered. BUt I know the cold on the zirconia CUTS right to the nerve with the zirconium crowns I have now. My current dentist wants to tent my sinuses & get me implants for each tooth that's loose. But I am near positive it was an infection that caused my pain. As soon as I was put on antibiotics the pain went away, & It keeps coming back the infection, because no one keeps me on Antibiotics for more then a week. I have been fatigued and sick for a long time. I worry pulling 8 upper teeth seems excessive when some of them are ok. Every specialist tells me something slightly different. I'd rather have my real teeth & just have the infection cleaned out. They also don't seem like they plan to bone graft the areas where they pull the teeth & I know from previous extractions I lose all the bone and gum I mean a full centimeter at least of bone. Hardest decision in my life. I'm only 40 and I don't want prothesis really. I hoped they could save them, & honestly I believe it could be done. But I don't know what else to do.
It’s been 15 months since my All-in-Four full mouth surgery and I still don’t have my finals. What recourse do I have? I paid upfront in full $40,000 and this dentist can’t get it right. Help, anyone have any suggestions for me as to how I can get resolution?
what's going on with your finals? is there something that's going on with your implants that's affecting your finals or they can't get your bite right? what specifically is the issue
@@northtexasdentalsurgery First, thank you for responding. No, nothing wrong with my implants other than they have not yet delivered the finals. The dentist that I hired has not once seen me or been involved on my many appointments (26-28). They don’t know what they are doing, since it’s his assistants. It has always been one of many assistants that are not certified. I healed perfectly, never no issues with me. They just can’t get the temporary prosthetics to fit properly. I have had four change of temporaries. It’s been 15 months and I’m so upset at this point. I finally spoke to someone on Friday and they have no good excuse why they haven’t delivered finals even after I have given them several dates I needed them by for events I had scheduled. Can a dentist really be allowed to get away with this?
@@buckie48192 thank you, but believe it or not, No. When I last posted, I called them, went there after requesting a refund. I was made all kind of promises that they would deliver my finals in a week. I went back in a week and they put a different temporary set. My appointment was set for 6 weeks later on December 15th. I was also promised a $5,000 refund. On December 14th I received several urgent Text messages and phone calls that my appointment needed to be rescheduled because the assistant was out sick. Like there are so many people working there, their world stops because Anita is out sick. I asked at that time so where is my $5,000 refund that the doctor’s wife who works there, Lea promised me. The bully who said she is now in charge of my case, Rebecca , a new employee said there would be no refund. I don’t know what to do? I know I paid for something I don’t have. I paid Dr Andrew Weber $40,000 in July 2021. I am sick over this.
I woke up 3 times during my procedure..twice had no pain but felt them screwing implants in. 3rd time i woke up i felt everything as they were suturing my gums..i think i almost broke the assistants hand. Felt 3 in and outs ..lol.
i’m trying ti get the VA to either do implants or send me somewhere to do them, as my dentures are really hard to work with due ti my mouths structure. i’m really struggling.
If all my teeth have been pulled for 6 years & I have traditional dentures. I want to see about moving to protheses. Two questions, will my teeth being out & my having dentures to use as temps help with the cost? I had some implants put in that had to be removed because they were done wrong. I healed quickly & well. Thanks.
I would like to have the procedure through you. I live out of state. I have periodontal disease. I have 12 remaining teeth. If you do the procedure, what would be the timeline I would need to remain in the area.
Wow. My teeth are literally crumbling from the titanium hybrid - not knowing the difference between the 3 options. Every tooth worked on is stained cracked or broken. I was told it was my fault. I" didn't go for a cleaning in a year and then blamed for being too hard on my teeth". After 25-30 thousand dollars in 5 years. My dentist will not fix my broken teeth (his work) for free. Hybrid titanium should be warned to patients prior!!
I am a 70 year old senior and had the all on 4 implant procedure done June 2023. After the examination, I was told I could have the whole procedure done for $25,000. I took out all my savings and a $15,000 loan. I was never told that I had temporary teeth. On my first visit 3 months later, the dentist ask would I be ready within 6 months for my permanent teeth. The business manager start giving me quotes on $20,000 to $37,000 for permanent. I told her I have no savings and still paying for last loan. This was pure deception and the fact that I am a senior. Should I seek legal counsel and how. Not sure what I should do next. Please help!
I'm 74 and due to chemo and radiation my teeth (even though I diligently take care of what's left) are just crumbling and falling out! So I am looking at the few uppers still left to all be pulled. What is the approximate cost with a clean slate? The bottoms have a 3 tooth bridge but it is detaching .... the rest are wearing down and cracking...3 if which are turning yellow! This is so depressing to me....I want to look good but regular upper dentures I would not be able to handle....on the bottom I'm hoping for reliable bridges with what's left😒
i have the same situation, the radiation destroyed my teeth so im scheduled to do the all on 4. it sadly costs 40k and up. for full mouth full clean slate aka pulling every tooth plus implants everything.
Thank you, Doc. I wonder if you have any video of talking about mini implant. I would have the all-on-4, but I have no money. My only option is mini implant with snap-on denture.
If you already have some single tooth implants, say on opposing teeth, 31 and 2... if later you go to an all on 4, will the existing implants be utilized, assuming they are solid??
they possibly can be. hopefully they're not shallow. I have a video about it if you look at my all on 4 playlist. you would need to have your X-rays evaluated to give a true assessment
Since the bone and gum shrinkage will occur under the temp anyway, can someone opt for no temp prior to the final prosthesis without adding to the shrinkage? Given of course that the pt. doesn't mind the esthetics of no teeth for awhile?
if someone comes from outta state how does the time line work out from consultation to extraction/implant..? im assuming it would be at least a 3 or 4 trip process to make sure everythings healed and ready for perms?
you can eliminate a consult appointment if you can provide x-rays of some sort (panoramic xray and/or 3d cone beam ct scan. then visit 1 is obviously surgery day. come back in a month for a followup. i guess technically that could be skipped because we just take xrays and remove the prosthesis to clean. nothing usually ever wrong at that appointment. visit 2, at month 6 we would need to scan your mouth again to get you into another prosthesis as your trial set to confirm you would like that. if you say yes, we then will start to fabricate your final zirconia or crystal ultra prosthesis. visit 3, would be delivery of the final prosthesis. of course that's assuming everything goes perfect, which it should, but for full transparency there may need to be adjustments on the fly for additional visits
I was quoted $27,500 minus $3,500 from insurance so $24K for all on four bottom only in California but with no details by the second dentist, the first one told me $20,000 but was very vague and would not give me a firm price but charged me $400 for the cone X-ray,, I have no idea what to ask, so stressful! I wish you were here so I could get an honest answer.
Not quite enough information on the nanoceramic over zirconia - it seems like you're undetermined, which of course is warrented seeing the technology is only 24 months. And because you are so forthright (honest), you personally need further confirmation, which only comes with time, before you're willing to give it your full committed affirmative - great video
I dont understand why an individual implant can cost 1500 - 2000 a piece to a full mouth 4 in 1 cost 25,000 ... So that should be 8k for the top and 8k for the bottom 16000 so where is the other 10k extra coming from ??
so when dental offices do an all on 4, they're pretty much doing an all inclusive price to make things easy. whether an offices does it for $15000 or 30000, that includes the cost of extractions, implants, multi unit abutments, and the temporary and permanent prosthesis. when you're paying $1500 -2000 for an individual implant, that doestn include the cost of the actual abutment and crown on top of that. so each tooth is more like $3000-5000 depending on who you go to. if you had even only 5 individual implants alone with abutment and crowns, you'd be looking at like 15000 to 25000. all on 4 is definitely the cheaper way to go.
My back tooth was taken out and it’s recommended that I get an implant. Do you think this is necessary? Your thoughts? I’m still wrapping my mind around implants.
@@northtexasdentalsurgery My dentist was saying the all-on-4 there for me would be around $70K. I’m pretty tied down at that point to do snap-ons with 4 implants on top, 4 on bottom, yet that cost is still looking to be around $35k? I know it depends on the area, which I’m in NY. I am getting bone grafting in the maxilla to make sure we get good strength on the implants but other than that I don’t need anything else done surgically. Wondering why such a big price difference. At my surgeon the line item cost for an implant is 2700, but that also includes the abutments and usually he can write a bit of that cost off. I’m only 26 and planning on med school very soon, which is not cheap, so I’d like to be cost conscious but obviously I’m also looking for very high quality work since this has to last for decades.
@@FerociousPancake888 I'm needing top and bottom dentures and want the kind that only the dentist can remove for cleanings and 6 month checkups on my gums health. My 1st quote from an oral surgeon was $27K. Then I went to a top rated Periodontist (only dentist with extra training specializing in implants) and also saw the Prosthodontist he reccomended and was quoted $70K. An added perk was being able to work directly with the Prosthodontist to decide on how I want the teeth to look. The other place just sends it off and they pick what they think will look best on me, so it's a big perk! Also the finale product was a bit higher in quality. Went back to the first dentist after covid lockdown, and his price was now $57K!!! WTF!!! So it may be that your dentist is worth that quote or they're jacking up the price using the pandemic as an excuse 🙄 But the $70K quote stayed exactly the same. Please get a few more quotes that are itemized. Find out about the different denture options, quality of products available and the associated costs. Maybe getting your implants done by a top Periodontist to ensure the posts will last a lifetime if you take diligent care of them, is where you should spend the most money now. The dentures only last about 10-15 years because of normal wear and tear. So get cheaper ones now. Then replace them with higher quality ones after medical school when cash is coming in, not flowing out 😁 The timing should line up! Good luck!!!
lab charge is prob 80-150 dollars for a regular crown. prob around $300 for an implant crown. pay more for quality. titanium implants range in price but retails prob for like 400-500 dollars. zirconia is more expensive
Dear Dr. Choi, It's Great information. I really appreciate very much, but I live in Nevada, I like to find out is there any chance you know a good denture in Reno Nevada and recommend? Thanks
No he is not kidding this is why I am getting traditional dentures. In about year. I found something for now to wear. While I wait very happy to be rid of my bad teeth.
ALSO MY DENTAL PLAN IS REMOVE ALL TEETH, LET THE GUMS HEAL WEARING TEMPORARY DENTURES. THEN ONCE GUMS ARE HEALED THAT IS WHEN THE IMPLANTS GO IN, THEN WAIT FOR IMPLANTS TO HEAL THEN I WILL HAVE MY PERMANENT SNAP INS PUT ON. $26,000 THAT DIDN'T INCLUDE THE $3,200 SCAN. DOES THAT PLAN SOUND PROPER TO YOU??? PLEASE HELP!!
@@GoFarFarAway. thats the same plan my dentist is doing. I just am doing the top for now. My cost is 18,000 total for top snap ins. If that price for you is top and bottom it seem like a good price to me
Are any of these procedures covered at all by medicare, Cigna HMO, anything? If not I could just buy a Mercedes and have the grill stuck in my mouth. Full upper & lower all on 4 go from $30k to $45k. What can an old man of 74 afford on this? Impossible. Use up all the equity in my house for a nice grin?
No they don’t cover implants my mom has five implants. On the bottom she paid out of her own pocket. $5,000 per tooth 4 failed they had to done again. She was charged the full price each time. The 5th one got infected and needed to be done again. I am getting traditional dentures. No surgery and less expensive.
But you still do not mention the cost of zirconia or nanoceramics, you should be more transparent about it,of course you will say it depends on a case to case basis, but why? It may be a,little more material, or a,little less or more complicated, but there should not be a vig difference in price for the final denture! You come as a responsible doctor offering good advise, but come short of giving a real world price,that is deceiving since you will shoot for the higger price when we consulting with you! Will you not?

Check out Turkey! The best all around quality/costs. One fifth the price as in Canada.😁
There are plenty of Americans and Canadians who are going to “molar city” in Mexico for affordable dental services.

Great info but with all due respect, my Hybrid prosthesis made in 2009 has not worn out or stained. I had digital temps ~5 months then finals. Maybe I'm not as hard on them as others. I did have one rear tooth break off about 7 years in but it was repaired without charge. They suggested new zirconium which were not a ting when I had mine done, but there was no pressure to buy up after that one brief mention.
thats great they worked out for you. i do see more wear, staining, and breaking of teeth with them though for sure
I have a snapin denture. Money was the main reason i settled on this. I was able to get my teeth pulled, bone graph, 4 implants, and temporary and final denture for $9400. My issue is, having worn the denture for 6 months I realized the Pallet really bothers me and my dss prefers to leave the pallet for more suport. I shared this with my dss and he suggested I go with a zirconium arch prostitic instead. His office doesn't do them but he assured me the implants would carry it. I've been trying to find out how much it would cost for just getting the zirconium full arch made and installed but no one want to even give me a ball park price.
Becouse it's a RIP off price and they know when they get you in the chair they can milk you for every dollar dental work is way over priced and a greed driven industry
I'm trying to find that out as well because I was just told I can have acrylic arch and all on 4 in the US for an okay price but I can't find out how much it will be for the zirconia prosthesis.
@@kristinlanders1481 my cost was $40,000.00
Prices vary a lot according to where you area. In the US, especially so if there are a lot of competing dentists providing the service. I can tell you that my dentist does All-on-4 starting at $14,500 per arch -- but that's including implant placement, which I think is the larger part. You may get a lower price for just the prosthesis. Other places are quite a bit lower or quite a lot higher in terms of overall cost.
At 17:14 the question was what was the cost difference between the hybrid, zirconia and nanoceramic. You answered by listing the drawbacks of the hybrid. In general, how much more would I be expecting to pay to upgrade to the zirconia or nanoceramic?
good question because we dont even offer the hybrid as a final. based off what I've seen in the past I think $3-5k is typical. be aware that zirconia is not all the same. there are certain levels of quality that different labs use to make final zirconia. this is why price can really range
What’s the best zirconia implant and zirconia crown? What company makes it thanks for your videos.
@@tammywheeler7463 Titatium 23 is the medical grade designation. Very few providers spend the money for this but the good ones do. It’s the same grade titanium used in hip implants.
Very informative thank you .
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video, excellent information!😊
Glad it was helpful!
I have been searching your videos to try and find out if the zirconia or nano ceramic options you are talking about have a titanium bar? I cannot find this explanation anywhere and trying to understand how that is made- My dentist says that she will do the all on 4 with a fixed implant supported bridge , but she did say something about it having a bar embedded in the prothesis , but she did say it is made of zirconia so i am very confused about that - so is the Zirconia and nano you speak of have a bar ?
zirconia structure has a titanium bar, the nanoceramic has a nanoceramic bar which then is fused to the structure. Nothing will separate with the nanoceramic.
Prices in the states need to come down. There is no way I can afford 20,000 per arch. It’s ridiculous. Lower the price.
You could get dentures those are much less. The set I want is $400. For top and bottom hopefully year from now. I will have them.
I love the info you shared.grazie mille. Ciao franco
Thank you so much very informative I’m grateful
Glad to help
Why does literally every dentist in South texas advertise the total cost for the full procedure of full mouth implants is 19 to 22 thousand. But when you call they won't confirm or deny that price and when you go there the actual price is significantly higher. Are dentist allowed to get away with false advertisement?
I just got full mouth implants..wearing temporary now..its been 3 days..im in no pain just some face swelling. Also my toungue is taking a beating on the implant screws. Got some wax to fix that. Thats the most pain ive experienced. One day procedure cost me 60k. That covers the temooary..maitenance for 5 years and the permanent set
Thank you so much. This was extremely helpful. i havevsevere/advanced periodontitis and my periodentist thought inmay not qualify for implants and preferred that I see an oralbsurgeonbthat he recommended. I felt relieved when the oral surgeon said he can do 4 on one . so he will do bone grafting in my upper jaw, and a dentist will place an all on 4 don't know yet which ones). I'll have local anesthesia in oral surgeon office. For my bottom jaw, no bone grafting IS needed before the all on 4. it will cost me a little more than 50k..I applied for care credit loan , they approved me only for $5000. i am not sure if the price is reasonable. seems very high
Great informational video...thank you!
Dr. Choi, I am having ALL-ON-4 Zirconia; question how long should I wait for temporary?
So do dentists Garentee there work ? Or do patients have to sign a waiver limiting you from any liability? Is there any legal recourse for damages? No buddy wants to address this ? Will you ?
Excellent information
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Dr. Very informative. I need 4 in one uper implant. Will definitely come see you, once I have the funds :(.
This is a great video. I'm glad that I found you. Dr. I was wanting to know where you are located in North Texas?
You are a Saint! Is there any place in the Delray beach
Boca Raton,Boynton Beach Florida...my teeth are in really
Bad shape. I just had a crown
With a post fall out of the front
Of my mouth.
I have an appointment on Tuesday for a consultation at one of those places that put your permanent ones in 24 hours
I am glad I found you and will call Monday and cancel it.
I am so glad I found you. I wish you were here!
Look at “DoneinOne’….in Florida…expensive though
I'm 77 years old, wanting to have All on 4 done. What would be my best options? I'm in good health but let's be realistic, 15 to 20 more years left if everything goes well. I am a 100% disabled veteran, combat wounds and PTSD. Would greatly appreicate your advise. Your Video is outstanding.
glad it helped. if you want to get a good option and not mess with it anymore or have issues, get zirconia. its what I would use in my mouth
Check out the dental in Turkey. Very affordable with upstanding quality.
Thank you for serving & I hope you get them
My husband is veteran he went to the VA to have his teeth removed and I think they are giving him snap ons and by the way Thank you for your service sir
If you get dental thru VA you can try to fight to get an implant consult done . If they approve the treatment, they will cover the cost for community care if VA hospital doesn't do .
I'm still trying to get VA in SC to approve my community care providers' findings for Allon4 bridges .
Good luck brother
What do you think of clearchoice? I have healthy teeth in my upper mouth but they still want to pull all of em. They said they can't get the infection to go away and want to pull the teeth, & it was a very weak explanation total cost for the top is 32000. I am so freaked out about it. He says in 6weeks I will have my permanent teeth, but most say like you 4-6months. I have Healthy bone on one side & a working bridge that doesn't hurt or bother me. But they wan to do the all on 4. To me it seems like 4 implants and I only get my 1st molars with prothesis not my second molars. When I smile you can see i am missing my second molars, it has me really concerned and tbh I don't fully trust them. He reminded me of a car sales man. But they told me all I need is 3 implants on bottom 1 for each tooth. The rest are healthy enough to be crowned/veneered. BUt I know the cold on the zirconia CUTS right to the nerve with the zirconium crowns I have now. My current dentist wants to tent my sinuses & get me implants for each tooth that's loose. But I am near positive it was an infection that caused my pain. As soon as I was put on antibiotics the pain went away, & It keeps coming back the infection, because no one keeps me on Antibiotics for more then a week. I have been fatigued and sick for a long time. I worry pulling 8 upper teeth seems excessive when some of them are ok. Every specialist tells me something slightly different. I'd rather have my real teeth & just have the infection cleaned out. They also don't seem like they plan to bone graft the areas where they pull the teeth & I know from previous extractions I lose all the bone and gum I mean a full centimeter at least of bone. Hardest decision in my life. I'm only 40 and I don't want prothesis really. I hoped they could save them, & honestly I believe it could be done. But I don't know what else to do.
after placing the implants how does the temps stay in ?
the prosthesis is screwed into the top of the multi unit abutment via a tiny prosthetic screw
Am going to visit your clinic in a couple of months. I live in Plano near 75 NCE
It’s been 15 months since my All-in-Four full mouth surgery and I still don’t have my finals. What recourse do I have? I paid upfront in full $40,000 and this dentist can’t get it right. Help, anyone have any suggestions for me as to how I can get resolution?
what's going on with your finals? is there something that's going on with your implants that's affecting your finals or they can't get your bite right? what specifically is the issue
@@northtexasdentalsurgery First, thank you for responding. No, nothing wrong with my implants other than they have not yet delivered the finals. The dentist that I hired has not once seen me or been involved on my many appointments (26-28). They don’t know what they are doing, since it’s his assistants. It has always been one of many assistants that are not certified. I healed perfectly, never no issues with me. They just can’t get the temporary prosthetics to fit properly. I have had four change of temporaries. It’s been 15 months and I’m so upset at this point. I finally spoke to someone on Friday and they have no good excuse why they haven’t delivered finals even after I have given them several dates I needed them by for events I had scheduled. Can a dentist really be allowed to get away with this?
This is scary to hear
Wow I hope you got some help by now Christina
@@buckie48192 thank you, but believe it or not, No. When I last posted, I called them, went there after requesting a refund. I was made all kind of promises that they would deliver my finals in a week. I went back in a week and they put a different temporary set. My appointment was set for 6 weeks later on December 15th. I was also promised a $5,000 refund. On December 14th I received several urgent Text messages and phone calls that my appointment needed to be rescheduled because the assistant was out sick. Like there are so many people working there, their world stops because Anita is out sick. I asked at that time so where is my $5,000 refund that the doctor’s wife who works there, Lea promised me. The bully who said she is now in charge of my case, Rebecca , a new employee said there would be no refund. I don’t know what to do? I know I paid for something I don’t have. I paid Dr Andrew Weber $40,000 in July 2021. I am sick over this.
I woke up 3 times during my procedure..twice had no pain but felt them screwing implants in. 3rd time i woke up i felt everything as they were suturing my gums..i think i almost broke the assistants hand. Felt 3 in and outs ..lol.
Thank you
You're welcome
Thank you, very clear and helpful - Of the 10k implants since 08', what percentage resulted in a viable ostointegration?
Great up to date professional advice. Thank you. From Coquitlam,B.C., Canada. Do you know any specialists in Vancouver area?
This was great..ty!
glad to help
i’m trying ti get the VA to either do implants or send me somewhere to do them, as my dentures are really hard to work with due ti my mouths structure. i’m really struggling.
I wish you guys were closer lol
If all my teeth have been pulled for 6 years & I have traditional dentures. I want to see about moving to protheses. Two questions, will my teeth being out & my having dentures to use as temps help with the cost? I had some implants put in that had to be removed because they were done wrong. I healed quickly & well. Thanks.
I would like to have the procedure through you. I live out of state. I have periodontal disease. I have 12 remaining teeth. If you do the procedure, what would be the timeline I would need to remain in the area.
Wow. My teeth are literally crumbling from the titanium hybrid - not knowing the difference between the 3 options. Every tooth worked on is stained cracked or broken. I was told it was my fault. I" didn't go for a cleaning in a year and then blamed for being too hard on my teeth". After 25-30 thousand dollars in 5 years. My dentist will not fix my broken teeth (his work) for free. Hybrid titanium should be warned to patients prior!!
I just got the hybrids for 46k all in
I am a 70 year old senior and had the all on 4 implant procedure done June 2023. After the examination, I was told I could have the whole procedure done for $25,000. I took out all my savings and a $15,000 loan. I was never told that I had temporary teeth. On my first visit 3 months later, the dentist ask would I be ready within 6 months for my permanent teeth. The business manager start giving me quotes on $20,000 to $37,000 for permanent. I told her I have no savings and still paying for last loan. This was pure deception and the fact that I am a senior. Should I seek legal counsel and how. Not sure what I should do next. Please help!
I'm 74 and due to chemo and radiation my teeth (even though I diligently take care of what's left) are just crumbling and falling out! So I am looking at the few uppers still left to all be pulled. What is the approximate cost with a clean slate? The bottoms have a 3 tooth bridge but it is detaching .... the rest are wearing down and cracking...3 if which are turning yellow! This is so depressing to me....I want to look good but regular upper dentures I would not be able to handle....on the bottom I'm hoping for reliable bridges with what's left😒
i have the same situation, the radiation destroyed my teeth so im scheduled to do the all on 4. it sadly costs 40k and up. for full mouth full clean slate aka pulling every tooth plus implants everything.
Thank you, Doc. I wonder if you have any video of talking about mini implant. I would have the all-on-4, but I have no money. My only option is mini implant with snap-on denture.
If you already have some single tooth implants, say on opposing teeth, 31 and 2... if later you go to an all on 4, will the existing implants be utilized, assuming they are solid??
they possibly can be. hopefully they're not shallow. I have a video about it if you look at my all on 4 playlist. you would need to have your X-rays evaluated to give a true assessment
Since the bone and gum shrinkage will occur under the temp anyway, can someone opt for no temp prior to the final prosthesis without adding to the shrinkage? Given of course that the pt. doesn't mind the esthetics of no teeth for awhile?
Are the are the nanocermaic more costly than the zirconia?
a tiny bit
Oh boy, I am going to take care of my teeth. 64 and still have them all. 😮
Great information
I may have missed it but - Why do you have to re-contour the bone?
Are the temporary prosthesis screwed in?
if someone comes from outta state how does the time line work out from consultation to extraction/implant..? im assuming it would be at least a 3 or 4 trip process to make sure everythings healed and ready for perms?
you can eliminate a consult appointment if you can provide x-rays of some sort (panoramic xray and/or 3d cone beam ct scan. then visit 1 is obviously surgery day. come back in a month for a followup. i guess technically that could be skipped because we just take xrays and remove the prosthesis to clean. nothing usually ever wrong at that appointment. visit 2, at month 6 we would need to scan your mouth again to get you into another prosthesis as your trial set to confirm you would like that. if you say yes, we then will start to fabricate your final zirconia or crystal ultra prosthesis. visit 3, would be delivery of the final prosthesis. of course that's assuming everything goes perfect, which it should, but for full transparency there may need to be adjustments on the fly for additional visits
I was quoted $27,500 minus $3,500 from insurance so $24K for all on four bottom only in California but with no details by the second dentist, the first one told me $20,000 but was very vague and would not give me a firm price but charged me $400 for the cone X-ray,, I have no idea what to ask, so stressful! I wish you were here so I could get an honest answer.
watch all my videos. they will answer a lot of questions
With this 4 on 4 lower arch should there be any gaps ? My dentist told me that there will be gaps to clean them
I am in Indianapolis. Do you have any offices located near here or recommendations?
Are there issues, long term, with gum residing and implants failing?
yes. i'll make a video about it.
Awesome information! But I’m way to poor to be able to afford. Maybe prices will come down someday.
Question do you
Recommend 4 & one when you still have teeth? I need help in finding the right Clinician, New Jersey!
Can you please tell me what snap on denture is made from
How much is zirconia implant screws? I’m allergic to certain metals?
very helpful. Do you speak chinese Dr Daniel? How much is approximately all-including cost for All on 4 dentures with the best materials?
I dont. my wife speaks little cantonese. and all on 4 with the best materials such as zirconia, we charge $21.5k per arch at this time.
Wow!! Average folks don’t have that kind of money
Sad for us poor folks
We sit on the side lines with no help
@@northtexasdentalsurgery want the main Arch. Is one implant?
Not quite enough information on the nanoceramic over zirconia - it seems like you're undetermined, which of course is warrented seeing the technology is only 24 months. And because you are so forthright (honest), you personally need further confirmation, which only comes with time, before you're willing to give it your full committed affirmative - great video
Do you have online Virtual Appointments??
Can you tell me how far the office is from the closest airport.
25 mins from DFW airport
Do you do payment plan :(
Regarding your mentian of smoking effecting outcomes, does smokeless have the same warning??
yes it does. surgical results still are compromised when vaping, etc.
I dont understand why an individual implant can cost 1500 - 2000 a piece to a full mouth 4 in 1 cost 25,000 ... So that should be 8k for the top and 8k for the bottom 16000 so where is the other 10k extra coming from ??
so when dental offices do an all on 4, they're pretty much doing an all inclusive price to make things easy. whether an offices does it for $15000 or 30000, that includes the cost of extractions, implants, multi unit abutments, and the temporary and permanent prosthesis. when you're paying $1500 -2000 for an individual implant, that doestn include the cost of the actual abutment and crown on top of that. so each tooth is more like $3000-5000 depending on who you go to. if you had even only 5 individual implants alone with abutment and crowns, you'd be looking at like 15000 to 25000. all on 4 is definitely the cheaper way to go.
My back tooth was taken out and it’s recommended that I get an implant. Do you think this is necessary? Your thoughts? I’m still wrapping my mind around implants.
@@northtexasdentalsurgery My dentist was saying the all-on-4 there for me would be around $70K. I’m pretty tied down at that point to do snap-ons with 4 implants on top, 4 on bottom, yet that cost is still looking to be around $35k? I know it depends on the area, which I’m in NY. I am getting bone grafting in the maxilla to make sure we get good strength on the implants but other than that I don’t need anything else done surgically. Wondering why such a big price difference. At my surgeon the line item cost for an implant is 2700, but that also includes the abutments and usually he can write a bit of that cost off. I’m only 26 and planning on med school very soon, which is not cheap, so I’d like to be cost conscious but obviously I’m also looking for very high quality work since this has to last for decades.
@@FerociousPancake888 I'm needing top and bottom dentures and want the kind that only the dentist can remove for cleanings and 6 month checkups on my gums health. My 1st quote from an oral surgeon was $27K.
Then I went to a top rated Periodontist (only dentist with extra training specializing in implants) and also saw the Prosthodontist he reccomended and was quoted $70K. An added perk was being able to work directly with the Prosthodontist to decide on how I want the teeth to look. The other place just sends it off and they pick what they think will look best on me, so it's a big perk! Also the finale product was a bit higher in quality.
Went back to the first dentist after covid lockdown, and his price was now $57K!!! WTF!!!
So it may be that your dentist is worth that quote or they're jacking up the price using the pandemic as an excuse 🙄 But the $70K quote stayed exactly the same.
Please get a few more quotes that are itemized. Find out about the different denture options, quality of products available and the associated costs.
Maybe getting your implants done by a top Periodontist to ensure the posts will last a lifetime if you take diligent care of them, is where you should spend the most money now. The dentures only last about 10-15 years because of normal wear and tear. So get cheaper ones now. Then replace them with higher quality ones after medical school when cash is coming in, not flowing out 😁 The timing should line up! Good luck!!!
Oh my no wonder people go outside of the US to get implants
What is hybrid-zirconia?
What does a lab charge for a non-inserted crown? What does a company charge for a non-inserted titanium or zirconia or other types of implant?
lab charge is prob 80-150 dollars for a regular crown. prob around $300 for an implant crown. pay more for quality. titanium implants range in price but retails prob for like 400-500 dollars. zirconia is more expensive
Why no one gives us any info on the prices. How much is it?
Dear Dr. Choi, It's Great information. I really appreciate very much, but I live in Nevada, I like to find out is there any chance you know a good denture in Reno Nevada and recommend? Thanks
I dont. sorry!
Wish I heard all this years ago.
What happens when …. You age past 90?
Where are you located?
Why no one explaines crystal ultra.??????
Ok I called a dentist in Nevada you recommended . They quoted 49,000 for snap in dentures.. Could that be correct?
holy crap. he charges more than i do for All on 4. whats your budget?
Info overload!!!
I pick you. Will contact Tuesday. 7-12-22
14-16
I was told 30k for titanium permanent dentures...are they kidding??
No he is not kidding this is why I am getting traditional dentures. In about year. I found something for now to wear. While I wait very happy to be rid of my bad teeth.
Why are all on 4 double the cost of snap ins??
ALSO MY DENTAL PLAN IS REMOVE ALL TEETH, LET THE GUMS HEAL WEARING TEMPORARY DENTURES. THEN ONCE GUMS ARE HEALED THAT IS WHEN THE IMPLANTS GO IN, THEN WAIT FOR IMPLANTS TO HEAL THEN I WILL HAVE MY PERMANENT SNAP INS PUT ON. $26,000 THAT DIDN'T INCLUDE THE $3,200 SCAN. DOES THAT PLAN SOUND PROPER TO YOU??? PLEASE HELP!!
Wow, what type of plan do you have, if you don’t mind sharing!?
@@GoFarFarAway. thats the same plan my dentist is doing.
I just am doing the top for now.
My cost is 18,000 total for top snap ins.
If that price for you is top and bottom it seem like a good price to me
With my temporary teeth I had ti go in 17 times to repair.
Great info any dentist as informative as you are in the Tampa Bay area ???
Wouldn’t it be better to wait 6 months after the teeth were pulled
go to Mexico for a fraction of the cost, fully trained dentists
The 24 hr teeth ads must be a con, then?
To expensive!
Are any of these procedures covered at all by medicare, Cigna HMO, anything? If not I could just buy a Mercedes and have the grill stuck in my mouth. Full upper & lower all on 4 go from $30k to $45k. What can an old man of 74 afford on this? Impossible. Use up all the equity in my house for a nice grin?
No they don’t cover implants my mom has five implants. On the bottom she paid out of her own pocket. $5,000 per tooth 4 failed they had to done again. She was charged the full price each time. The 5th one got infected and needed to be done again. I am getting traditional dentures. No surgery and less expensive.
But you still do not mention the cost of zirconia or nanoceramics, you should be more transparent about it,of course you will say it depends on a case to case basis, but why? It may be a,little more material, or a,little less or more complicated, but there should not be a vig difference in price for the final denture! You come as a responsible doctor offering good advise, but come short of giving a real world price,that is deceiving since you will shoot for the higger price when we consulting with you! Will you not?
