Implant Dentures vs Snap In Dentures vs All on 4

In this dental vlog, Dr. Sami talks all about implant dentures including snap in dentures and same day dentures. We review denture costs and the pros and cons of overdentures. We also review the negatives of conventional dentures so that you have a better idea of what to choose to replace missing teeth. I hope this helps . . .

I'm almost finished with a 2 year journey with dentures. I got 5 implants on the bottom and 4 on the top, a total of 9 implants, and it was 18, 000 for the implants and all the bone And I was not allowed to make payment installments, I had to pay it all up front in order to get started with the procedures. Originally I was going to go the route of getting regular dentures, because it was all I can afford, but my family stepped in last minute to help, thank God, and we switched the original treatment plan from regular dentures to overdentures. I wore regular dentures for a whole year and it was a total nightmare. Tons of glue, and you are so limited to what you can eat because they constantly dislodge. My mom has had a wonderful experience with her dentures and her stay in with barely any glue, some people get lucky and they get a really good fit and the standard dentures work well for them but that was not my story. I'm in the middle of a 6-week fitting process for my overdentures. Now that all of my implants healed, as well as having to get an extra implant put in the bottom due to one of them failing, I'm finally ready after almost 2 years to have the overture made. The regular dentures would have been covered by my insurance, but the price changes drastically on your teeth when you get implants because you can no longer use standard dentures and you need an implant supported denture. My teeth went from being a $50 copay to 4, 600. So the grand total form the implants, bone grafts, and the implant supported dentures is almost 23, 000. That is an insane amount of money. It is honestly not affordable for a majority of people and it is so unfortunate because the quality of life goes up drastically when using an overdenture as opposed to standard dentures. But on the flip side, I got my smile back and I got my confidence back, and years and years of pain and cracked teeth, extractions, abscess and infections, and all around horror with my teeth over the years, it's all done and over with and I got back so much. I will be able to eat things that I haven't been able to eat for over a decade. I think the amount of money for these procedures is absolutely ridiculous and unfair. But you get what u pay for, and I got phenomenal work done. If my family didn't help me out with a 7, 000 payment, I would still have the standard dentures, so for them I am truly grateful. If you have the means to go the implant it.

This video should be watched by anyone preparing to make a denture choice. Thanks, Dr. Sami. I start a re-evaluation process for replacing the standard version false teeth I got one year ago in Mexico. (Admittedly, there was an unfortunate language-communication barrier.) The surgery was horrendous!!! No exaggeration. The teeth look beautiful out of my mouth. In place, they changed my smile significantly. prevent me from tasting flavors, created a lisping I will never grow accustomed to, and slip occasionally when I laugh normally (but with a very abnormal and embarrassing moment trying to tongue them back into place). One year of ego-busting unhappiness. Am excited to pay the extra cost to get my life back! My advice: replay this video several times, go to your dentist with these facts, listen closely to your dentist, make an educated choice. If your choice is expensive, remind yourself that you get what you pay for!

I’ve got the All on 4 on my top and bottom. It has changed my life for the best. I have had them for 3 years now.

[michellecalvin]

Kudos to you sir. This is the most thoroughly explained video I've watched on dentures and implant processes. Thank you on keeping it honest, simple but to the point! 👏🏾

I’m getting my implants next week !!! I’m excited, but nervous at the same time. One of my biggest investments so far.

[kimbrown]

Ive just received my new dentures and they are great and look really natural. I had my other set for 17 years and could eat anything and they were so comfortable thats why I had them so long .Im munching an apple at the moment and no problems .

[jackwilson]

DENTIST SHOULD MAKE THESE PROCEDURES AFFORDABLE!!!! Most people have no choice but to walk around with bad teeth because they can’t afford them…like myself, there is one place here in town that’s expensive but they take monthly payments, I got an appointment Tuesday hopefully I can afford the down payment

[ssjwes]

Dentures costing as much as a car is a rip off. There's no reason it should cost that much...

[richardcabello]

I’m 2 days post-op from 8 upper extractions, bone grafting and 4 implants… took about 3.5 hours in total… I will head to dentist next week for casting impressions for my temporary/immediate dentures while the healing and securing of the bone graft and implants occur (3-6 mos)… I’m getting the snap-on over dentures for just the top teeth. Thankfully, the dentist and periodontist were able to save my bottom row of teeth thru deep cleanings and surgery.. I have 2 implants on bottom row of teeth. One on each side…. The total cost will be $8, 400 for the top over denture, extraction and grafting procedure…..

Thank you. My dental surgeon went over it, but it is so hard to keep all those options straight when you are there and asking questions. It gets confusing.

[rainbowdreamer]

Thank you Dr. Sami for this very understandable and concise explanation of the 3 different options for natural teeth replacement. All have their benefits and drawbacks.

[bernardsimsic]

I personally have complete dentures and most all those problems he mentions he overblows them I'm sure some do have these problems but bones and other things come into play here and not everyone will see these problems I have not over 50 years wearing them.

[renee]

I think I’d stick to the original dentures #1🤔 I mean they all come out anyway plus no drilling required. So many cons with 2 & 3, cleaning and breakage.

[ableadelaide]

My friend went to Thailand, had a full implant, an eye lift and a holiday for a tenth the cost of local dentists. He's had them for ten years no issue.

[davidcoleman]

This was really informative. I'm about to begin the extraction of my remaining teeth and should be ready for dentures some time early next year. Costs are similar here in the UK for the various options. I'll have to go for the cheapest as the other three are cost-prohibitive. Honestly, I'll be happy if I can smile again - it's been a while.

[missy]

it is not that bad having regular dentures. Dentists make it sound like its such a bad option but the dentures aren't such a problem. If you have good dentist/denturist your dentures will fit and will function well for you.

[basketmania]

I have an overdenture, and I'm very happy right now, I can smile now without the worry that my denture will fall

[AmazinGraceXOXO]

I’m getting the all on four in the next few weeks. Top arch. I’m so excited and nervous. I was going to opt for snaps on and do top and bottom at the same time. Because the amount would be about the same. But essentially .... I knew the all on four would be better in the long run. So I’m gonna suck it up and wait a few more years to save enough for the bottom. Essentially there is nothing wrong with my bottom teeth, I’m just paranoid they won’t match lol

[BONNYRIGG]

I want an all-on-4 like a young man wants a lambo.

[ferdiebiojon]

I really like the way you explain the disadvantages and advantages of the implants and other procedures...
