I’ve never understood why dentistry is not part of healthcare. Most dental insurance only covers things that most people can afford anyway. I had open heart surgery a few years ago and it didn’t cost me anything. You go to a dentist you have to take out a second mortgage on your home. Anything past a filling or an extraction is ridiculously expensive.

It would be about the same as getting a toxic root canal. Dentists are like lawyers and can't be trusted. The profession has turned into disposable so you will be back in in a year to buy it again.

My dental plan paid 50 % of the costs and almost 100 % for fillings . Good info on the implants , more time needed to make this choice .

I'm glad you spoke about younger people. My son lost 5 teeth when he was 17 and we took him to a very expensive dentist in London to talk about an implant solution. The dentist flat out said he wouldn't even consider it for at least 5 years and offered interim solutions which worked out very well. He said that we'd have no trouble finding a dentist somewhere who would go straight for implants but that they wouldn't be right in offering it. He basically said that he wouldn't do what we wanted and was willing to give up a fat fee as a result. Some would have just taken the money. He was, of course, right.

Kudos for disclosing that "bone growing medicines" impair the body's ability to heal around a dental implant! For those who still have the ability to reason, that's letting the cat out of the bag regarding bisphosphonates. Bisphosphonates (ex., Fosamax and Boniva) are known to reduce osteoclast activity which, as a result: (1) does nothing to increase osteoblast production nor build bone mass and (2) contributes instead to osteonecrosis of the jaw. Thanks for putting this out there; so that folks may be prompted to do their own research!

It would be very unusual for a dentist not to ask you if you were on bone growing medication when giving a consultation on implants

I'm 74, and in need of my last major dental restoration. After painstakingly reviewing dozens of videos, your presentation makes the most sense. It was straightforward, accurate, concise and very realistic. I thought I wanted implants. But after listening to you, I'd be very leery of a dentist who would consent or recommend the implant procedure as a viable option to my final restorative solution. No sense wasting time going down that rabbit hole. Not to mention the cost, the likes of which will probably out-live me. Besides, I have become quite the "soup-chef." If Brookhaven wasn't so far from Jacksonville, I'd probably be in your office tomorrow 'cause I trust you'd help me figure out THE BEST CHOICE for ME. Thanks for your professionalism and KEEP SMILING!

I'm a poor candidate for implants because of bone loss, but that didn't stop one doctor from wanting to charge me an exorbitant amount - in cash - for a procedure that probably would have failed. I got a second, correct, opinion and opted for a prosthesis instead. I'm very happy with it.

It is true that is expensive. So is maintaining them. If the implant fails. You will need it removed and done again. They charge full price for thar. You will need to invest in water pick. If the implant becomes infected. You will have bone infection. Which is very serious. Possibly involving more surgery. If you were not brushing and flossing well before. You will be doing it after every meal. Food gets caught underneath the implant that can lead to infection. If you don't have dental insurance. You will have more difficult time. Because seeing dentist at least every six months. For cleanings and exams are vital. So the implant doesn't fail. In my moms case she goes for cleanings 3 times per year. The whole idea that you can simply replace missing teeth. Then never see dentist again is false. These things require surgery for placement. Sometimes more then one surgery. That implants never fail or get infected. Is not true either. I will take my dentures. They also require a lot of care on my part. More then willing to do that.

I was visiting my doctor, a very good old experienced doctor ,every single year for long time. Every year I had to fix a rotten tooth at least. So, after I had to replace a tooth and I had like 10-12 decayed teeth fixed, I started to befriend the doctor. We knew each other so well. So, I’ve asked him. Doctor, tell me why my teeth are decaying so quickly and so badly? Actually, I was afraid that I would lose all my teeth. So he said to me. It’s simple. Because of hygiene. You are not washing your teeth. I told him.yes I do. Every single morning. He said: that is for no reason. You are washing them after they decayed during the night. That process happens during the night. In the morning is to late. So I changed my teeth cleaning time. I do it before going to sleep. Sometimes happens that I fell asleep before planning to. But still, in the middle of the night,if I wake up, I go brush my teeth. The good news is that I lost one friend. My dentist. In about 8 years I visited him once . And that was to re-fix an old decay work which was done by a woman doctor which I knew before him. And I’m very happy with my healthy teeth. The secret?… don’t go to bed 🛌 in the night without cleaning your teeth

I'm living pay check to pay check and when i would go to the dentist it was always the same. Why did you wait so long? And I'm like because this shit ain't free dental insurance is a joke and I have to decide whether to keep a roof over my head or dental care. They make it sound like everyone just doesn't want to go not that they can't afford it. It's either pay up or pull them out.

I couldn’t either. Google low income dental care. The town you live in and the state. There will be few dental clinics near you. They charge based on income. Now there is nothing they can do for me my teeth are breaking into tiny little pieces. I have infection all the time and already had one that spread into the bone in my jaw. If I would have been wiser and looked for help sooner. It would be this bad I don’t want that to happen to you. I agree dental care needs to be given to everyone. We need teeth to be healthy I am sorry that you are struggling.

Thank you Dr Langston on your explanation on dental implants. I do not need them now but it's good to know OPTIONS when the time comes.

I have two dental implants at age 27 and am extremely happy with them.

​@@Dr.BrettLangston Hello Doctor...... I have One question, Should a single implant be Done after the tooth Extraction Or during tooth Extraction ❓❓

One implant can cost a fortune.

Thank you much, been contemplating a couple of implants, and as a senior thought could not, but I do qualify with your info👍🏻

I have 14 implants, done progressively over almost 15 years. All other types of fixes were failures - glued bridge, partial denture, post. The implants have proven themselves to be sturdy & reliable. Only one little problem: the middle peg in the first set of 3, about 18 years ago, is suffering from bone atrophy. Most likely because there's a triple crown on the 3 pegs, and the middle one isn't getting any load. They all need exercise, so educated opinion in recent years is to put a single crown on every implanted peg.

@cdsersd2d

Putting seperate implants won't work in some situations, such as having a low bite due to grinding of teeth. The reason being is that there won't be enough crown material to be as durable as they should be. But even if you took the chance and asked the dentist to make a thinner crown, food is more likely to hit your gums, rather than your teeth. So in my opinion, if you have worn enamel, or you just want your entire mouth to look uniform because you have crooked teeth, I'd go with all on 4s or all on 5s or 6s. But I think it's best to get 3rd and 4th opinion.

Dental technician here. I work for a lab that designs and fabricates the implant crowns for dental clinics. One of my more specific duties involves ensuring the accuracy of implants’ sizes, positions, etc in the modeling software, and identifying potential issues before a case is sent to the design section. 14 implants is…a lot! Please tell me they’re spread out over both jaws, because there really shouldn’t be more than 6-8 implants per arch. More than that, and the remaining bone material between them starts to be too thin for adequate structural integrity. I can’t name names in a public forum, but my boss actually stopped doing business with a dentist who’d started doing stuff like that!

How was it so far? I’m leaning towards this than implants as I only need to replace a tooth

I stopped going to my previous dentist because of the high pressure sales job for an implant each and every time I went (even for routine cleanings).. My current one has asked once and only once if i was interested in an implant I politely said no and that was the end of it, he said "if you're not having any problems and the space between teeth is ok with you, it's ok with me!"

Thanks Doc. My dentist was trying to confince me that i need implants. Im missing two teeth. One upper right and lower left. However, they have been missing for almost 20 years and I have no problems with eating. I'm not going to get them because I don't want to mess uo what ain't broken. 😉

I’ve had a dental implant in the back (molar) for over a decade. It works very well replacing a tooth that split in half down into the bone. Expensive, but cost/meal is peanuts, and it should work well for me for several more decades. Cost per peal should ultimately be negligible !

Sounds like the identical thing that happened to me. A few years earlier, my dentist suggested that I consider replacing several old crowns. Figuring that "If it's not broke, don't fix it," I didn't take that advice. Several of those teeth became infected when the crown failed and allowed the tooth to get infected, and one broke as you describe. So instead of just paying for replacement crowns, I paid for root canals AND a crow n AND an implant! Should'a taken the advice when it was given!

Absolutely the best explanation of implants I've heard to date. I'm 73 and have a molar (14) that isn't a candidate for root canal as the ligament is destroyed and the tooth roots are being destroyed as well. I don't know why but it seems that 95% of the dentists I've visited are poor communicators. Usually its a quick general canned speech while they are backing up to leave the room. Very little eye contact as well, top that off with no formal introduction and English as a second language ( live in Florida )and I might as well just begin with an internet article. In a few weeks, I begin the journey by having the tooth extracted by yet another person ( oral surgeon ). Well done Dr. Langston !!

I got a root canal from a previous dentist, which failed and lead me to Dr.Gaertner. I had my implant done with his Prosthodontist Dr.Kang. Both are excellent at what they do. I’ve been going there since 2018. Look him up, and pay him a visit. You’ll be happy you did!

I got my dental implant when I was living in Korea about fifteen years ago. It was the largest dental clinic in town and had plenty of English-speaking staff, so it was where all the foreigners went for their dental care. My friend's wife was in the middle of the implant process and was getting impatient because the dentist kept telling her that she didn't have sufficient osseointegration yet to put the crown on, but I took this as a good sign about the practice -- they're not going to rush. They gave me the choice of a Korean manufactured implant, which would set me back about $1,200, or a European implant which would cost $2,500. I went for the European because I travel and if I was going to have trouble with the implant I wanted something that was more widely distributed so I'd not need to be waiting for a replacement peg or something from Korea. I was a bit frustrated because the dentist wouldn't tell me which specific implant he was going to use. He said he would need to assess the socket after I'd healed from the extraction. I forget which brand I got, but I researched it afterward and realized why "a titanium screw" was setting me back so much money. The research and development that goes into those things boggles the mind! I've since had a gum graft to protect the implant, since the same gum damage that made me lose the tooth was threatening the implant. But over fifteen years in and I'm very, very happy with the result. Worth every penny.

15 years wow! This is amazing and so reassuring to hear. The Prosthodontist who did my implant is Korean and he has 25+ years experience. The entire process took 10 months for me (I had to get a bone graft after they removed my old failed root canaled tooth). I was under the impression that it would be done in one visit ( so naive). He too, told me to wait upon one of my follow up visits..I wasn’t getting impatient, but him not wanting to rush the process said a lot to me. Anyway, I’m in the US and It’s been about 4 months since I’ve had the implant, but it feels like a regular tooth and I’m looking forward to having it for as long as you’ve had yours❤️ Best decision I’ve ever made regarding my dental health.

If you’re older than 65, you probably aren’t a candidate for implants anyway. Your jaw bone probably doesn’t have enough bone left to support even a full month implant anyway. And don’t let a dentist/orthodontist tell you he can rebuild your bone.
