Your Different Options for Dental Implants

[mrsbenn]

No dental coverage in Canada unless it is private and/or you pay out-of-pocket. That said; due to outrageous cost and my age; I opted for a full bottom denture with two implant posts to secure/hold them in which I have found to be very effective. During the procedure of extraction (by a Dental Surgeon) I also had to have some bone grafting done to accommodate one of them. Result from the latter, I was somewhat bruised and swollen for about five days but can honestly say experienced NO pain however in respect to the surgical sutures I did have some discomfort (tenderness) for about two weeks until the sites healed. Fast forward; four months later after the implant posts fused to the bone, what they refer to as abutments were added to the posts and then I was fitted with a 'permanent full denture' (which were lined with some type of mesh alloy to give them more strength which I am not sure is a common practice). *Note: During the interim I had a temporary denture which IMO was beneficial though some people prefer not to have one. To conclude; it is a lengthy process but well worth it and I would highly recommend a) go to a Dental 'Surgeon' to have the procedureS done b) for the denture(s) themselves eliminate the 'middle-man' and go to a Denturist who not only makes them but can do ANY adjustments on the spot unlike that of your Dentist who normally seeks the outside service of a Dental Lab anyways. (My Dental Surgeon and Denturist coordinated appointments.) Apologize for being so long winded but hopefully my experience will explain some of the procedure if opting for denture implants.
Footnote: I am not affiliated with any Denturist and even though I respect the profession of Dentists; I learned the hard way as an upper denture (prior to the extraction of my lower teeth) that my Dentist did (whom I was a patient of, for 20+ years) was so inferior that it was not only wasted money ... but .... because they were so ill-fitted I just couldn't chew properly and my overall health was affected after trying to adjust to them for a little more than year. (I literally lost count of the appointments all to no avail! Even my G.P. was becoming alarmed! ). Needless to say, lesson learned as two trips to the Denturist and without exaggeration it was 'the difference between night and day' and reason why it was the deciding factor to go to a Denturist for my lower ones.

What are the "cons" of doing implants? Wouldn't titanium be stronger and more expensive?

I would love to have the mini dental implants but I just can't afford it. I've got to have the rest of my teeth extracted and a temporary dentures then about 6 months later I will get another set. Aspen Dental gave me a free assessment and it's gonna cost me over $4, 000 out of pocket after insurance has paid. I really don't understand the cost . I say a prayer daily to get help with getting my smile back. 😀

that's true, I have had one implant and really didn't feel a thing. A filling is worse. Great info

Here's what the good Dr. failed to mention... Without getting to technical, Zirconia all on 4 overdentures are very nice and yes very, very hard. Which can result in any of the following.... By the numbers 5. Your opposing dentition can wear out rather quickly, perhaps even damaging it even further 4. Mouths prefer a softer material i.e. lithium disilicate or an excellent denture tooth that wears 3. If you have periodontal disease, you better take care of that before you throw $15, 000 to $20, 000 down the drain 2. The understanding that your patient needs to conduct daily cleansing along with routine checkups to ensure that those implants are in good health. 1. The possibility that your implant may fail. Infact 60% of implants fail at the 6 to 9 year mark. Bottom line. Do your research, speak to an oral surgeon, get a few estimates and take care of the teeth you

Placing implant is not less painful then pulling out teeth. You have many drillings in your bone and it vibrates

[SashaRaeFierce]

Why is it so expensive to get dental implants?or dentures? Or fillings for that matter?

[angelteagarden]

What's SO SAD & UNNECESSARY Is when PEOPLE LIKE ME MEDICALLY NEED IMPLANTED DENTURES & WHEN WERE DISABLED & POOR CAN'T AFFORD TO GET THEM AND THEIR NOT EVEN FOR COSMETIC PURPOSES!!!!
We responsible people have priorities to pay for mortgage & utility bills!!
Why WON'T SOMEBODY CARE & MAKE INSURANCE PAY FOR THESE WHEM THEIR MEDICALLY NEEDED!!??

[jake-gdrb]

Hello i wanted to know what kind of doctor that decides if dental implants are medically necessary

[ljsphotos]

Shock value of price not explained. Be nice to know if you need teeth extracted, how much would that cost and can it be done same day as most offices claim, yours truly, poor guy...

[RachelEvolve]

I find it disgusting that dentists charge so much for something that is a necessity! They behave as if people want them to only look beautiful, but it's necessary to eat and to live! Shame on all of you!

[retiredarmyvet]

Everyone keeps asking why dental work cost so much. Well if you ran a business that your clients only spent money in your office ones or twice a year you would charge them as much as you could when they were there also.

Where's the alternatives to dental implants like the dentist said because all we was doing is trying to sell variations of dental implants and either way you cut it they're too expensive and I know he's wealthy as he can be so the best alternative to implants are to Lower the cost of them then people can SMILE and FEEL GOOD about themselves and out of pocket deductibles are too expensive for every day going to work people with families to spend money on and the ONLY way I can afford implants I will have to work a second job for 2 years and that's the ONLY option because you can't get implants treated until u have given all the money to them even with insurance it's just something about how they can charge sooo much for dentistry and have No mercy on you when it comes to paying for them and dentist make SO much money where they can do sooo many a year for FREE for people teeth that is in desperate need of treatment to help them build a better life because lawyers do sooo many FREE cases per year and change people lives for the best but dentist are just concerned about getting FILTHY rich and you would have thought they learned about Compassion alone the way in medical school but GREED is running through their veins and most of them see people coming in and they look at you like $$signs than a patient and then you got SOCIETY looking down on you because your teeth are jacked up but don't know how much it really cost to get new teeth and having insurance is just not enough the cost is enormous and we have more over weight people walking around with bad DISGUSTING looking bodies than people with bad teeth but according to SOCIETY I'm being CRUEL but when you insult people about their SMILE and cover your mouth when they are in your presence that's hurts but nobody cares about that but if I cut you down about your weight then I am labeled as being mean but anyways dentists please lower some of your fees and do some FREE work sometimes and GOD will BLESS you and yours
