Snap in Denture to Zirconia??????

Dr.H explains why making snap in denture out of zirconia isn’t a good choice he discusses the characteristics of zirconia and dental implant requirements.

[jfray]

He’s a excellent dentist with extreme knowledge of what he does, he explains the procedure to the point.
I can’t wait to be in his dentist chair to rebuild my mouth.
Ty for your expertise

Maybe not charging people the cost of 2-3 cars for such a small piece of technology, people would not feel the need to seek any alternative method for getting the very thing that isn't seen as the 'bicycle option' that traditional dentures are called by so many 2k PER ARCH for the equivalent of 'bicyle class dentures'.

Thanks for the information you give us. I have a question about mixing types of prosthesis. I heard a dentist suggest that if you want Zirconia teeth, you should only get it for the upper arch & get metal bar with acrylic prostheses for the lower arch, because the lower maxillary is suspended and supported by muscles, more so than the upper maxillary, therefore, the zirconia structure will be too heavy for the mandible. Is there any truth to this? My concern is that I want Zirconia prosthesis, and if Zirconia is harder than the acrylic, won't it ware down the acrylic over time with chewing & so on? Plus I just don't like the idea of getting 2 different types of prosthesis.

Thank you so much for the video and responding so quickly .
Clearly seems that this would be unusual and unnecessary.

Very comprehensive explanation very much appreciated. What are your thoughts on a Trilor Nano ceramic crystal ultra bridge instead of Zirconia?

I really need my teeth done, I need all my backs and sides replaced. It’s just so expensive. I really pray I can have them done soon❤

I'm pretty sure if people can afford it they'll do it..I'm trying to do snap on but my insurance don't covers for a full mouth so I'm gonna do lower first and make next year do the top!!!..God willing!!

[chrisdavis]

great info you said what most dentist will not say, and I love how you said 10 years ago that you planed for the patient to upgrade their teeth that's great sir if i only have # 6-11 good & 29-21 good teeth what would you recommend thanks in advance

I got 6 implants, not all on 4 I did in 2016. I did on top mouth. Now I got infected 3 of them . He said I got infected because I still have some of my real teeth in my mouth on the bottom plus he did my implants in the bottom teeth also infected too. Now he asked me to take all my teeth out if not it will infect it again if he try to save the top implant. Cost me a lot of money already when he did the first time. Now he tried to save the 3 implants and add another one in going to be 4 implants. Maybe they called all on 4 . And I can do the bottom teeth too much money already. I will do snap on denture on the bottom teeth. $35000 the cost of the teeth. Last time I paid $34900. Just too much.

Thank yu so much Dr Great explanation a question how is the fixed bridge bonded my top teeth healthy but 2 missing what sorport the bridge and what happens if teeth underneath start to have problems drw the road my dentist has mentioned a bridge still doing research very good video thanks👍

Please help. I don’t have much bone in my mouth, I can only get three implants on the bottom arch and five on the top, so a snap on denture is my only solution for my bottom arch. However since I can get five implants on the top I wanted a zirconia hybrid but my dentist is telling me the weight from the prosthesis will be too much and overtime put strain on the implants. Is he correct or are five implants enough to support the top arch zirconia prosthesis? Thank you!

Hey Dr. H, what are implant-supported dentures? I am in southern California and I went to USC Dental School last year to get dentures because I don't have dental insurance I had faith that they would do a great job but it was a nightmare. So, the day I was scheduled to have the rest of my teeth removed, they wanted to remove the remaining teeth top and bottom and again with only local anesthesia, and thank God I said no. They wanted to remove the remaining teeth ( I already had the molars etc removed there ) in the morning and put temporary dentures in my mouth in the afternoon. They removed the top teeth and sent me upstairs where the professor shoved an upper denture into my bleeding gums. I was supposed to keep them in overnight but I took them out in the car on the way home and never put them back in because the degree of overbite was miserable I no longer trusted the school and I have been without top teeth now for a year in January. Dental offices call insistently acting like used car salesmen and it's a terrifying that has kept me from doing anything at. It will be a year in January that I have had no teeth at all on the top I still have several of the teeth on the bottom have that are strong and I'm wondering if I can save those with a bridge instead of doing all on four? Thank you 🤗

What’s the annual or maybe 3-5 year cost of snap ons vs all on 4’s (assuming they don’t have a complete break)

[rf]

My temporary teeth went in on 2-21-23 and you were right my doctor knows what he's doing bone is strong the 4 month wait was worth it. You give great answers to questions very knowledgeable thank you. My temporary teeth aren't centered they are off a bit can this be corrected before my final teeth are made. I still may come down to see you when this is done just for a second opinion on my work done thanks again for answering my questions

[nicoleancell]

Do you use 3d CT’s and impressions of individuals’ natural teeth as a guide for the prosthetics?

[lisarogers]

Got snap on months ago simply hate them too bulky wish I never spent that enormous amount of money now dentist wants 20.000 more for zirconia. I don't think so

[AdzMiah]

Hello Doc thank you for your explanation on these dentures. Can you explain why are they so expensive?

[mylife]

What's the average cost range for full upper and lower? Zirconia.
