This presentation helped me a lot to understand deeply to decide and weigh my options about my plan for implant. I really appreciate your effort to share your skill and knowledge about the procedure. Thank you. Very helpful👍

You are such a good periodontist and dentist. I wish I was nearer so I can come see you.

I, too, want to thank you for all the time and effort you put into making these extensive videos!!! What a generous person you are! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Wish I could get your opinion on mine, but you do enough already. At least I now know enough to look in the mirror and know something!!! (whereas I used to knowing Nothing.)

Great presentations!
I was told that a typical implant can last, on average, up to 7 years.
I'd appreciate your opinion on that.

Dr. Choi I appreciate your explanations of the whole process of implants which I wouldn't have been able to figure it out on my own. I have a quote from my oral surgeon to perform 6 extractions on #14, #15. #18, #30 and #31 and implants on #14, #19, #30, and #3. He makes the statement "If you are missing both first and second molars, usually implants placed in the first molar areas (#3, 14, 30, 19) provide sufficient chewing surfaces without going to the added expense of also placing second molar implants." " Many times the implants in the second molar areas are not necessary for sufficient chewing surface." Dr. Choi Do your think this is a good practice for first and second molars? Also with a bone graft on #14 the total cost would be $14.500.00. Is that a fair price to pay? $425/extraction and $2800/implant, . Thank you, Dan Brunetti

Ive watched your videos since I had my surgeries. I've been contemplating seeing another dentist because 2 of my implants just aren't rite. Its been a year since my surgeries. The 2 implants are still painful upon any pressure. My dentist keeps saying that they aren't healed. Which may be correct. I just feel like after a year there shouldn't be any pain.

It seems that dentist prefer to drill for All-On-4 implants immediately after extractions. In the future, would you explain the reasoning behind this technique. It would seem that the extracted teeth would leave holes in the jawbone and then the implant hole would be drilled within or beside these vacant areas.
We need a website where one could select from specific criteria or specialties offered by the wide variety of implant centers in order to help choose a dental center. (i.e. sedation, CBCT scans, in house 3D printing, use of 3DShape or Exocad software, nano ceramics, etc) Frankly, I'm overwhelmed at the number of dentist offering All-on 4 implant surgery. That's a good thing but confusing at the same time. Really enjoy your videos. Wish I lived a bit closer to Texas. You and your team are the best!

Thank you for the great videos Dr. C. Hello, I'm the guy that you asked the pictures of teeth over email. The one with the gofundme. Don't know what happened but I never heard back from you. Hope you have a great day.

Do you know anything about zygomatic implants and if they are safe. The implants that I was shown looked like miniature implants so I thought that zygomatic implants might be better for as you had said miniatures weren't necessarily a good choice.

Is it possible to have an AO4 (with 4 Titanium Posts) and have 14Teeth on the Upper and Lower Arches vs 12?

[randomgaminginfullhd]

I have heard some dentists say bone grafting isn't always an option, even tho it IS required in that case. Why? Why can't you just add bone where there's bone deficiency?

[satanishangover]

Once gums have retracted, is it 100% impossible (without surgery) to recover them if I take proper care? Or that battle is lost without surgery? I suffered from gingivitis and I had deep cleaning and I have no bleeding nor inflammation since.

[yakata]

thank you for mentioning short attention spans.

i have a missing tooth it was 4 years when it got extracted it is still possible to get an implant?

[leonidvedine]

find a great dentist in your area. Look for referral - don't trust anything you see in google searches. Go strictly off of testimonials. If a dentist has at least a 4.8 and over 100 reviews - go to him/her. Thats what i did and i am so happy. If anyone needs a great implant dentist and ready to pay for quality work than Chicago Dental Arts is the answer.

Thoughts on locator fixed implants please

[binhminh]

I was in your office a few months ago. You suggested removing the failed dental bridge and replacing it with two implants. I can't afford the cost of two implants, so is it possible to connect a bridge to an implant (picture this: a dental crown on #21-- bridge on missing teeth #20, #19, #18-- implant molar #17)? Thank you.
