Q & a on Dental Implants
Q & a on Dental Implants
ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS FOR YOU?
If you have one or more missing teeth, which is true in over 50 million Americans, dental implants can help you just as it has helped over a million people worldwide.
WHAT CAN DENTAL IMPLANTS DO FOR YOU?
In addition to replacing your lost teeth, dental implants can improve your appearance, speech, and self-esteem. Unlike conventional dentures, they won’t cause pain, slip or wobble when you are talking, laughing, or eating. Because they look and feel like real teeth, dental implants won’t irritate the gums and prevent the jawbone from shrinking which usually occurs- when teeth are lost. You’ll regain your natural smile and appetite. The result is comfort and convenience you won’t find in conventional dentures and bridges.
HOW IS THE PROCEDURE DONE?
As their name implies, dental implants are artificial teeth which are implanted in the jawbone with the help of tiny screws. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia in a dentist’s office.
In the surgical phase, a hole is drilled in the jawbone and a hollow, threaded cylinder made of titanium is inserted there. After a three- to six-month healing period or enough time for the tissue of the jaw to grow around the implanted cylinder, a solid metal post or abutment is screwed into the cylinder. This acts as an anchor to which artificial teeth are attached by means of tiny screws. Dental implants may be fixed or removable, which is often the case when many or all of your teeth are missing.
HOW LONG WILL DENTAL IMPLANTS LAST?
Dental implants will last as long as 25 years or more provided you practice good oral hygiene and visit the dentist regularly. They need the same special attention you give to real teeth. To enjoy them for years, regular checkups with your dentist are important. He or she will tell you how to brush and floss properly to keep your gums, jaws, and teeth in good shape.
CAN ANYONE GET A DENTAL IMPLANT?
If you’re healthy enough to have a tooth extracted, you can probably get a dental implant. Your dentist will help you decide whether you need one after a thorough examination of your jaws, mouth, teeth and gums as well as your physical condition. Your dental exam may include X-ray studies, a CT scan, and blood tests.
WHY SHOULD YOU SWITCH TO DENTAL IMPLANTS?
US President George Washington had trouble with his ill-fitting dentures. Chances are, so will you like many other people who wear them.
The problem with dentures is that they are foreign to your mouth, making them a poor replacement for missing teeth. That’s the reason a lot of people experience pain and can’t tolerate them.
What’s more, healthy adjacent teeth often have to be filed down or extracted to accommodate dentures or bridgework. This makes conventional restorative dental treatments unattractive to those with missing teeth.
ARE DENTAL IMPLANTS BETTER?
Dental implants have many advantages over conventional dentures. They are attached firmly to the jawbone with tiny screws so there is no danger that they will become loose or slip out while you are talking or laughing. Since they are as strong as real teeth, you can eat anything with dental implants. This eliminates embarrassing situations and other problems common in denture wearers.
WON’T DENTAL IMPLANTS IRRITATE THE GUMS LIKE DENTURES?
No, they won’t. Dental implants are made of titanium, a biocompatible material that integrates with human tissue, providing a good support for new teeth. Because dental implants look and feel likes natural teeth, they won’t cause pain with chewing or speaking or irritate the gums.
IS IT DIFFICULT TO CARE FOR DENTAL IMPLANTS?
Dental implants should be cared for just like real teeth. Your dentist will instruct you how to care for them. With good oral hygiene and routine checkups, you can enjoy them for years.

I just had dental sinus inplants just yesterday two on each side I hope this are good for me. The doc did run into a problem his divice did get stuck onto one of the inplants and he had to tug the tool free . The xray afterwards did show one inplant not straight like the other ones where just have to keep an open mind if there is trouble down the road. I will keep my fingures cross 2 inplants on each side a sinus bone graft inplant I had done .
I have 13 implants performed over the past 5 years. I simply cannot imagine what this poor man has gone through!!
screw dentist and i have 1 tooth that is fake and its screwed to my jaw . I can not take it out and fuck dentures . I aint having a full set of fake teeth with dentures cuz i m not sum fucking old man !
ID SUE THE BASTARD FOR FUCKING UP MY TEETH !
the worst part is when damage or disability due to “treatment” is temporary and financial loss is low. No lawyer will take the case because patient/customer hasn’t suffered severe permanent damage or disfigurement and there’s very little money in it for lawyers. Thre’s no justice for consumers when it comes to healthcare business.
@wendykpa You raise a good idea. However, the Better Business Bureau severely lacks any real reporting requirement and many complaints are usually explained away.
This man tried to interest first, but because he had such poor bone and then petitioned, they kept falling out. He was promised all sorts of miracles by this dentist, and the dentist clearly failed to live up to the basic standard of care.
Probably good you made this video to alert those seeking implants. It is true that you only get what you pay for. Always check any dentist out with the better business bureau first. I’m wondering why he didn’t try dentures first tho.
I can see both of your point of view. I completely agree about the exaggerated complications, yet on the other hand, the take home message is “you get what you pay for”
MIscommunication
If he didn’t have money to do the prosthetic stage, it’s his fault. One or two implants that might have been placed in less than ideal positions doesn’t mean that the patient is a victim. Many malpractice suits are based on complications that are seriously blown out of proportion.
Unless the dentist used the MDI mini implants, it’s just another case of miscommunicationion, some complications and unclear patient expectations.
I have seen it many times. I correct complications.
@cmdmd My client didn’t choose to “close the blinds.” Instead, he was hoodwinked by a slick dentist who promised him many things he simply couldn’t live up to. My client had no money to get restorations from anyone else, because nobody wanted to repair his disaster, and nobody was willing to undercut their prices to the level this guy did.
Implants can be a wonderful thing, when done properly. I have been witness to several cases where the patient screams “malpractice”. Truthfully, the concept of “damages” gets too exagerated by attorneys everywhere in the name of LEGAL FEES.
And yes, THEY CAN BE RESTORED with fixed prostheses. It’s seems that this is about patient expectations. I’d have to review the case.
How people deal with their problems is THEIR problem. He chose to “close the blinds” Bah.
u forgot the fact that when nerves r damaged u can loose the sense of taste.
I had a botched wisdom tooth op.
dentist took 45 minutes of yankingm smashed my tooth, I went into shock and had a fit, I then had to wait 3 months to get the tooth out at a sedation clinic.
The dentist put his finger in my arse hole to sedate me, I didnt sew.
also if friends and family fall out with someone just because they have no teeth then u r best rid of them.
although some people need compensation, these personal injury lawyers encourage peole to sew for anything, fart and they sew, as a result insurance is going sky high, also the lawyers get more in wages than the client gets in compensation, theyre like vampires.
things don’t have to be exaggerated but they do get. Whether you agree or not. I ve been to court as expert witness on cases and how many exaggerated cases have I seen? So, don’t try to glorify current legal trend to med field.
@regkjoe The video does not imply nor suggest that these horrible things happened to me. Rather, I made it clear that this happened to a client of mine; someone who I had the privilege of representing.
@regkjoe
You think my client exaggerated the fact that his dentist improperly put in 20 dental implants? You think my client wanted to walk around his city with no teeth in his mouth? You think the multiple other dentists who treated my client exaggerated that they had never seen such horrible dentistry in their careers?
There’s no exaggeration and personally I don’t believe any client or lawyer should be exaggerating any injury an injured victim suffered. They don’t need to.
oh, one more thing, those cases keep happeninig driving up med insurance cost because people like you help it. On video you describe thinkg like it happens to you. It didn’t.
you might think people need to be defended when wronged by medical profession or whatever.. many people take an advantages of similar situations and many times with lawyers’ exaggerations, they do just that. Whatever you say, I know since imin the med filed as well..
As much as I know you want to see the gory pictures of before and after, I have to respect my clients privacy in that he does not wish to be further embarrassed by what he went through.
Become a doctor and after that …we can talk about ,,,, and one more thing … you describe the “horrible experience” …. i wanna see pictures with the pacient before and after the “horrible experient” …. !
You are correct. I am just a lawyer who has been in practice handling medical malpractice and accident cases for over 21 years. I am not a doctor and never claimed to be.
Having handled many, many different types of malpractice cases I have learned much medicine from my clients and my medical experts. This video describes a horrible experience that my client suffered.
you are just a lawyer ….:)
Is that really what you wanted to see?
Please do not tell me that you only wanted to view gory looking photos, or a video of this broken man speaking without any teeth. Thankfully, I chose not to subject my client to further humiliation by showing the awful condition of his mouth. There are plenty of other gory photos and videos of tragedies online, and this will not be one of them.
no one picture no one video of the case…this is just bla bla bla.
remember your mothers old jewish advice.
Never argue with a fool!
and “a word to the wise is sufficient”
