An empathic dentist who engages the patient in the treatment process? That's impressive.

The way he talks about these options is SO reassuring - he should give lessons in how dentists should talk to their patients... 😊

Dental implants in the US are outrageously expensive. However, in Mexico implants are done with the exact same materials, tools, and training. There is NO difference and many Americans go south to save a ton of money. In Mexico an implant is $1, 000 or less AND in the US it's between $5, 000 and $6, 000. The only reason for the difference is PROFIT. American dentists are stealing their patients blind!

Wow -- as a RN, I must say it's refreshing to see a dentist who isn't pushy. Nice! He's a good educator.

This guy is a GREAT dentist!
Poor dentists rush patients into making decisions

In the US teeth are considered "luxury bones" and many dentists think the poor should have bad teeth....I've heard them joke about it....I actually heard a dentist tell his office staff to quote me a grossly inflated cost because "We won't be able to get much work from this guy anyway"
It's nice to know that at least 1 cares about the lives of patients instead of just extracting the contents of their bank account

Hey!...an honest dentist recommending NOT to have profitable implants....I like it!....and this guy speaks with straight tongue.

WOW! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I'm facing an implant and I'm frightened! You are the *First Dentist* that said No Option is okay! My dentist is pushing for a bridge and the Oral Surgeon is pushing for an implant. I'm not ready. They told me if I leave it, my teeth will shift and cause a very bad bite and bone loss. (Middle, bottom molar. Tooth 31. Crowns on either side of lost tooth) I appreciate your honestly very much!!

Thank you so much for this informative video! My dentist recommended implants for a couple of teeth without going into any available alternatives. Atleast I should have been informed about it. This is the most informative video I have seen on dental implants. Your patients are very lucky to have a very empathetic doctor. Wish we have more of them.

I have five implant teeth, some of which have been there for over 17 years, and all are molars. These things have been truly fantastic for me, and they are the best invention ever! I honestly cannot tell the difference between them and natural teeth. It's true that they can be expensive, and that the entire process can take around 7-9 months, but not always. Sometimes an implant can be put in on the same day that a tooth is pulled. That shortens the process down to about three months. Some dentists sometimes can put in an implant and put on the crown all on the same day. So there are different ways to go depending on a few things that the dentist will determine. After all is said and done though, for me the implants have been really amazing.

Need more honest dentist like this man!

Wow ..an honest conversation with a dentist? I missed that somewhere and went for dentures a long time ago. I regret that now because the lower plate will not stay put.

[FOXYPEACH]

I enjoyed your explanations and your wonderful demeanor. Thank you, sir!!❤

Without being advised by dental surgeon on what's involved in bridges my 2 perfect teeth were filed to fit caps holding bridge witch over years had come loose and had to be refined , the perfect teeth eventually decayed with unbearable pain and I totally agree with you to leave teeth problems alone if not painful as I now understand.I know that everyone must eat but must have righteousness over verything

[wandabrady]

Thank you for sharing this video I really needed to hear this!

[transequitur]

You are quite the "needle in the haystack" and that's a shame...shame on the dental industry. It's been a daunting task for me, as a patient, to locate a clinician with genuine regard for MY best outcome. Thanks for posting !

[Selamalia]

I’m sure people would love implants but for many they can’t afford to eat never mind pay but I understand what your saying great advice for people that can afford it .

[abdelilahbenahmed]

Honest advices. Best regards from Morocco.

Bridge is the worst a dentist can suggest to a patient, they will mess up perfectly good teeth to do this. Trust me I know, if I could go back in time and truly know what a Bridge was, I would of walked out of the dentist office that day and never looked back.

Wish a-lot of dentist in nyc thought like you
