Thank you for creating and sharing this wonderful video. You have shared very important information with people who absolutely need this knowledge before any type of implant procedure. I am 31 years old and have decided to go forward with All-on-4 lower implants, which will finally be getting done in one week from today. I have a handful of very important questions that I will be making sure to ask before the surgery- but I wouldn’t have known what to ask without watching your video. Thank you kindly.

I wish I had heard and seen this video 10 years ago. I had a General Dentist who claimed he was an implant specialist but after 5 years and 10’s of thousands of dollars later my mouth looks worst than when he started. I was about to make the same mistake now but this video saved me from making the same mistake. Thank you so much!

Your information on this subject is outstanding and most appreciated. Keep informing the public please. Most dentists and surgeons will not tell you this in such a comprehensive manner.

Good information and tips after surgery. I got root canal tooth removed and bone graft done today. The dentist explain quite well but not 30 mins detailed explanation. Thank you.

[andyirons]

What a masterclass in scope covered yet still keeping it simple for the average person. I learnt so much

I have an oral surgeon who wants to do bone graft, wait 6 months then do the implant, then I have a periodontist who wants to do bone graft at the same time he does the implant. How am I suppose to know who to trust if both are qualified specialists?

I am a new dental implant sales rep. I came for. 20 years in the medical device world. I am SO grateful for you and all your videos. Implants and grafting are complex and there are so many choices. You make things understandable and have made my learning process so much more digestible. Thank you! Keep posting videos. They are all helping me!! I share them with my colleagues too!

I'm literally sitting here with a recent upper front single (2nd tooth from the front) implant going through my invoices from the day of surgery checking off everything you've recommended - I completely lucked out that my dentist seems to have been well qualified, but DAMN!! I wish I had come across your invaluable videos PRIOR to surgery!

I didn't think to research the procedure on the internet prior to surgery because: #1 my personal situation was that my tooth broke off (a clean horizontal complete break under the gumline from decades of complex PTSD grinding), and I thought I needed to make a quick decision THAT day while standing in the office with the 2D xray of my broken tooth. And #2 I don't trust just any information on the internet...or YouTube for that matter.

However, I can engage my critical thinking and observation of information and professionalism such as you and your channel to find quality content and guidance.

Fortunately, now after following your series of invaluable videos, I discovered:
My dentist does have a doctorate in oral surgery ✅
He did take a CBCT scan ✅
He did perform a bone graft during placement of the implant ✅

But, what if NONE of those things happened, and I just discovered it today, 2 weeks after my implant?!!

THANK YOU! I feel such peace of mind, and lesson learned; I'm for sure going to take a step back in any future instances of non-urgent medical procedures to do some YouTube research.
Peace to you and your family, and continued success in your practice!

I am very impressed. I am in my 1st consult with CTS scan. Doing the research. I have a really good feeling with Dr. Daniel Choi. Wow!

[Kabira]

I wish I had known 4 years ago, what I know now, and am learning here ! The doctor should also offer and talk about the LANAPLser bone regrwoth proceddure: I have many implants and like to stop and prevent boneloss around them. DDS treating with LANAP laser often feature implant sites, where bone receded, and grows back with that technology. So please, dear Doc: would you consider adding that to your treatment plans, where appropriate?

I don’t know if other people have noticed this but it seems like every root canal I have had done 10 or so years ago is the tooth that gets the cavity in the root area and the tooth usually has to be pulled. The fillings I had done in my twenties are still good and if I do get a cavity they just drill refill the tooth. I’m 70 now and feel like my back molars with the root canals are my problem. Has anyone else had this same problem?

[TanyaOwens]

Thank you for these videos. My tooth cracked and I was initially misdiagnosed. By the time the crack was correctly diagnosed it was too late to save the tooth. So, now I am researching implants. I have had a dentist try to rush me to an implant, I perceive because he wants to do a procedure. However, he did not spend ANY time explaining 10% of what you have shared in your videos. Was shocked that I was doing my own research and angry I kept turning him down for an implant. After watching your videos I am glad I did. This surgical procedure is serious and should be performed by someone you trust who is uber qualified.

Very informative video. Thanks for the great slides! I got a question.. So if recommended healing period for the bone graft before an implant can be placed in is 5-7 months, do you expect the patient not to chew on the op area during this whole time or just the few weeks post the bone graft op?

[yakata]

my favorite video in the four part series so far! the part about the one part, two part and three part walls and its effect on successful bone grafting was a great concept to learn

[rayle]

I would like to see more video you implants and bone grafts so people understand it . Thank you so much

[CODGURU]

I liked watching your video. It was very insightful. I would bet your money that you probably couldn’t fix my mouth but I don’t have any which is why my mouth is not been fixed. I went through several dentist over the years and some of them I’ve not returned to others I have, and they have given up on fixing my teeth, I would just like one time for an actual dentist to help me out. The main problem is like you said in this video the cost I do not have the money to fix my teeth and it’s embarrassing. I’ve been losing my teeth since I was 15 years old, I am now 35 and I still don’t have the finances to fix my teeth so for over 20 years I have not smiled confidently.

[justinfloyd]

I really enjoyed this video content. It is very informative. I recently had my front left tooth extracted due to a failed older root canal and a bone graft procedure placed by a local oral surgeon. It has been close to 5 months now, and I am really concerned about the way the gum in that area looks. Although I do not smile with my gums, there is an indention in front where the tooth was extracted. I have been back to the oral surgeon and he has said everything looks good. I will be going back in October for another visit and for consultation on the abutment and implant placement. Can you please make a video about the gum and distortion around it when the tooth is extracted and what is done to fix that area? Is this another procedure and does it cost more or is this a part of the implant procedure?

[karen-xnsu]

Thank you so very much for all the time you spend on these videos. They are so helpful and informative. I'm at the 6 month mark getting the second ct and hoping I have enough bone to move forward with implant and also hope my surgeon does an excellent job since it's a front tooth.

[gratitudetouniverse]

I have a bone implant ( no implant ) done with general dentist. I had a complication with the bone graft. The general dentist referred me to oral surgeon to evaluate the bone graft and the reason the gums underneath is dark red and not healing well. The oral surgeon let me swish the Magic 4 like mouthwash. He said he can clean the bone graft. When he look at the xray, it looks like there are particles of the graft is trying to exit the gums and it is irritating my gums.

Can Allograph contain graphene oxide, if the cadaver it was harvested from had graphene oxide in them?
