Dentures vs. Snap -in Dentures vs. ALL on 4 ®️ Bridge

Dr. Bryan Hendriks teaches about the different types of devices one can have built after all of ones teeth have been extracted. He goes in-depth on dentures, snap-in dentures (aka overdentures), and fixed permanent dentures, often called ALL-ON-4 Bridges. This means that at least 4 implants are supporting ALL THE TEETH AND SMILE.

If you've asked yourself these questions, this video explains the differences and benefits between all of these devices. If you still have questions, then you may need a consultation! These consultations include a 3D CT Scan.

I swear if I had it my way I would bless a few people a year with the best option out there. People just don't know what an effect ur teeth plays on ur whole life. Not just as far as eating and looking better but the mental and emotional strain as well. To all of us out there I wish nothing but the best!!

For those like me who say I wish I had taken better care of my teeth please listen to me, If bad teeth runs in the family, you can brush and floss all day you will still end up getting dentures.

After consulting with a dental expert about the possibilities and hearing the prices, I realized they are indeed, just a dream.
Seriously. The prices for these appliances are crazy. Just look at them! You would think that they were made of platinum or moon rocks and required something on the level of neurosurgery to justify the charges.

They need to make implants more affordable for everyone in the world.. everyone deserves to feel confident in themselves 💕

We see a lot of progress in dentistry; the only problem is only a few people can afford the cost.

I’m currently 53 & had nearly perfect teeth & gums up until the age of 40. Only had one small filling in my entire mouth & had my wisdom teeth pulled in my early 20’s.

In the early fall of 2009, At around 6am I was riding my Harley into work on a somewhat windy country road. It was the sunrise following the full blood moon. Went around a tight blind corner & on the other side of the bend was an entire herd of deer. I had to make a split second decision to choose my pain, hopefully using the path of least resistance. I ended up going through a fence & landed in a ditch. I believe that decision saved my life that day.

My only actual injury other than minor scrapes and bruises was to my face and mouth. I did not have the wind guard on my Harley so my face broke the top of the fence. I lost several teeth & broke & cracked all the remaining top teeth. Also had damage to a few of my lower teeth.

My dental insurance from work was a complete joke. Paid 50% for basic extractions. Only covered Novocain, any other type of anesthesia like laughing gas I had to pay for in full.

Since it was more important to me to provide a roof & proper food for my 2 daughters & I was a single parent who did not receive any child support. At my full time job I earned just over the cap so did not to qualify for any assistance. Suffered like that for approx 7 years. During that time I had a couple extracted due to severe abscesses that required over a week of antibiotics ahead of time before getting pulled.

I had friends suggest to me I should quit my job or ask to be laid off or purposely get myself fired just so I could get at least some minimal repairs done. I refused to be that kind of role model to my kids.

After both my daughters had become adults & moved out to their own homes I decided to get my class A license. Drive an 18 wheeler, see the entire country & get paid to do it. I saved up a nice tidy sum of $10k plus had one of the top plans with Delta Dental. Went to a dentist that actually was recommended to me by a few of my truck driver friends. I honestly thought The nightmare of my mouth was finally going to be over.

The Dentist quoted me over $50k for the cheapest implants so I had to go with reg dentures. More appointments than I could count over a year & a half. Final result, after maxing out my insurance for both years & over $15k from me I had high end dentures that were never fitted right. They caused immediate severe pain as soon as they were in my mouth. The Dentist kept telling me that he could adjust them and they would eventually fit comfortably. After weekly appointments for the adjustments over almost almost 6 months I finally had to give up. Two years of my life & paid more money than I've ever saved in my entire life.

Continued to wear the temporary dentures that were fitted the day of my major oral surgery. All my remaining top teeth & all the damaged bottom teeth were pulled. Years later I'm still using the temps doing a dyi realign every couple months.

My mouth is in Constant pain. I always have sores somewhere in my mouth & ive Also developed CHEITIS that is so painful at times that I'm unable to eat. I also drool uncontrollably which is extremely embarrassing. My youngest daughters husband Refuses to even eat any meals with me because the state of my mouth and the way I have to eat grosses him out. My face now looks like I'm 10 years older than I am.

What completely frustrates the hell out of me to the point of complete anger is not one dentist that does any ad for dental implants is actually willing to state any price ranges. I’m sick of hearing “come on into the office for a consult. I’ve even heard a few ads that excitingly states that thay have really dropped in price & still never actually give any price ranges whatsoever 🤬

I can't allow myself to get my hopes up again just to most likely be completely ripped off again & my mouth get even worse. If that is even possible.

I'm actually glad I work as a truck driver So I spend over 90% of my time alone.

Dentists that charge almost the same price for implants as someone will pay for a house to live in & make payments over 15+ years to pay off should be ashamed of themselves. No one I know could ever Come up with that kind of money to pay up front for a dental procedure That may or may not work for them.

Dentistry should be considered a medical expense and covered under a persons medical insurance!!!

I've never understood why so many people make fun of those who "need" false teeth, but usually those same people have nothing bad to say about those who "want" something like breast implants. 🤔 May Karma be swift and give them a toothache! Sadly most people who need false teeth usually live paycheck to paycheck.

[horsewithnoname]

Well, we would all get implants if you guys wouldn't charge as much as an automobile for them. Your prices are insane!

I have had a full upper denture for six years and I absolutely love it and everyone says I have a gorgeous smile. I have never had it relined, I use polygrip every day and it stays completely intact - I can even eat ALMONDS and I taste everything perfectly.

I have regular Dentures. I am so happy with them !!!! My teeth gradually got worse after having kids. Had to have some pulled. I finally decided to go to Dentures. I'm sooo glad I did. I can eat corn on the cob and apples. I haven't had to have mine realigned. Don't let a dentist talk u into expensive implants or drilling posts into ur jaw bone. To attach a denture. I am Very Satisfied with my Dentures and I don't use goopy putty to hold them in place. If u get a good fitting denture u will b so thankful u took the step into Dentures. No more spending lots of money on root canals, caps, fillings, or on partials. I went that route and finally had my teeth pulled and got Dentures. I wish I had before I spent thousands of dollars. I'm very happy with my plain old Dentures. Oh yeah. Don't believe that crap they tell u about Dentures block your tasting ur food. That's a lie !!!! Your taste buds r on your tongue !!! And ur tongue is not covered by your Dentures. I fully taste all my food, and sometimes I wish it didn't. That way I might loose some weight cause I wouldn't enjoy the taste of my food . But again I can fully taste everything I eat !!! And I truly enjoy it. So if ur teeth r bad, go to Dentures and u will b so happy u aren't dealing with tooth aches and dentists drills and spending thousands trying to save bad teeth. My dentist tried to talk me out of it too. But I was a money maker for him. Once I got my Dentures, he could not make thousands of dollars off me. If u feel u don't want to deal with bad teeth anymore don't let a dentist talk u out of it. I took the leap and so happy I did. The decision is yours.

Just 3 weeks ago I got a full set of dentures after having all my remaining teeth out and I absolutely love them-to me well worth the money. No they aren't for everyone and people will always give their opinions good or bad but for me I have nothing bad to say about them.

[gailcrowe]

My mother wore dentures for 40 years and had no trouble at all with them, in fact she only visited a dentist
once after 30 years to have them relined. However they were made by a very expert dentist and cost quite
a lot of money.

Im in the same boat as most people here, the regular old dentures may be the only ones i could afford in my life time, Im hoping scientists perfect growing new teeth in the next 10 years - they are making progress i believe

[mrskearney]

I felt as he was talking directly to me! We spent a ton my denture that I never use. It's painful, I gag, I can eat healthy foods or go to dinner with my family due to insecurities.
I wish I'd found you 3 years ago.

[faithsfabulousbeautybar]

I have full dentures and no problems here. I'm able to taste my food just fine. Its better to get the bad teeth out so you never have a toothache again. Its better to invest in some type of dentures than dealing with toothaches and swollen gums. I invested in dentures and its been the best investment I ever made.

[ExploreShelburne]

Great video. I made my own dentures with a 30.00 kit I got from Florida. Only paid 150.00 to the local denturist for the lost wax portion. Five years ago now. Have only had them realigned once.

Valuable information. My mom had temporary acrylic and she hate it, tar from food resided at the base of the teeth and she could not remove it during brushing. She now has teeth made of zirconia and she is very pleased with it. The teeth made of zirconia are much more expensive and heavier than acrylic but they are sharper to cut the food, have no black spots at the base of the teeth, and are easy to clean. It is important to find a good lab.

3 years ago I became very sick and couldn’t eat. I have come a long way getting my health and life back and I do thank God for that but one of the hardest thing I’ve had to deal with is the loss of most of my teeth. I spend most of my time trying not to smile although I have so much to smile about. I keep looking and searching for an option and your video was so full of helpful information. I normally never comment on videos but just had to say something. Thank you

I have worked in the dental field, and had lots of personal experience with dentures due to cancer treatment. This of course has left me with little money left. So when I had to have a full mouth extraction, and my bone & body was not physically able to handle more surgery, I ended having to get instant full mouth dentures. And I had the best oral surgeon, lab, and dentist do the work. Healing has been long and painful. But I wish I would have been able to get implants. But I have to say, this video explains everything very well. Great job!

[jonathanmitchell]

I wish I lived near your offices so I could use your services. Great information. Just left my dentist and discussed implant options but this was much more precise and clear. Thanks!
