Had all my teeth extracted in September 2021 and 8 implants placed. Four on top four on the bottom. My teeth snap in and out like a button. The permanent ones were twice the price. Its been a full year now since my treatment finished. Eating is wonderful I had forgotten how pain free it was suppose to be.

Thank you.

how old are you and how did you let your teeth get so rotten that all of them had to be pulled? I have fucked up teeth myself but not bad enough for the majority to be rotten

Yes. They are called implant supported overdentures.

Too much coca cola 16 years ago and just a family history of gum disease.

I am afraid to ask the price, but I'm curious, if you don't mind saying. Dental work is not cheap, I am all too familiar with that.

I had it done at a dental school. The entire procedure including everything was $16,000. The permanent set required another 4 implants 2 on top 2 on bottom. That cost $34,000. Mind you this is at a dental school where its "cheap".

I know exactly what you are talking about. I work at a dental lab and occasionally work with implants. They are a major ordeal, but definitely life changing for a lot of people.

Glad it worked out for you. I'm sure being pain free is a great experience.

So far no. I do brush them but with no toothpaste as its abrasive. I do have to keep the implants themselves clean. I was lightly brushing around them and then rinsing with listerine. My dentist said I should be using a waterpick so i just picked one up.

I will never have to experience a toothache again. I had my fill, worst pain by far I have ever experienced. Literally screaming into a pillow. So definitely pain free and I can smile again.

I definitely need to stop drinking that shit, just thinking about anything done to my teeth makes me shudder.

I wish I could afford to get my teeth and gums fixed. It would completely change my life for the better.

Yeah, I drink tea usually. Its really rare for me to touch a soda. Just the worst use of calories ever. I've think I've had maybe one or two cavities my entire life, when I was a kid.

I heard that you need your natural teeth otherwise your jaw gets all fucked up after some years. It has something to do with your tooth root in your gums or something

hows that work with implants?

That's good to hear. I hate the dentist and have had a few teeth extracted recently for which I was wide awake. Horrible.

They removed the IV towards the end so I do remember the last 3 implants being placed.
