I made this topic a few months back but here it is again so AMA especially if you need implants. I have whats called implant supported overdentures on top and bottom. They are removable but lock into the implants similar to a button snap. Basically snap in teeth. I couldn't afford the permanent set (better material and more durable and lower profile) even at the dental school

Both depends on how I feel. I try to balance it out.

Yes the permanent set are made of Zirconia they are more durable and denser. I can however eat pretty much anything. Haven't tried hard candies like jolly ranchers though.

Why the implants? Med condition or too lazy to brush?

$16,000 total. That includes extracting all remaining teeth, 8 implants placed, and the teeth. The process was a total of 9 months about. It was multiple appointments for temporary denture fittings which. Then the oral surgery which was sept 2021 i got my final teeth in May of 2022. Between september-february it was just recovery. Then once healing caps were placed i could not wear the temp dentures until the final teeth were made. So 3 months without any teeth.

The titanium screws that anchor it in are a wondrous thing.
Over time, the titanium in the screws, and calcium in the surrounding bone, start swapping places.

Yup it literally becomes one with your jawbone. I also had a bone graft done.

I have an overbite, and we went to an orthodontist when I was 17 and she was afraid if she fixed my teeth, my jaw would grow into it and Id end up with an underbite, so she suggested coming back in a few years. We just never ended up going back.

Then, when I was 33, a filling fell out out the back of my upper front teeth. I went in to get it fixed, and it turned out that because of the overbite and my grinding my teeth in my sleep, my bottom front teeth had destroyed all the enamel on the back of the upper front teeth, and they were just fucked. So I had to get 6 crowns at once. That really hurt the wallet, as it was about $4200 after insurance.

The actual oral surgery was painless. I was given the injection and requested IV twilight sedation. I don't remember the actual procedure as I was in and out of consciousness except for the tail end when they removed the IV. I remember the last 2 or 3 implants being screwed in. Now the next day and next week or so were a different story. I bled for 5 days.

how caring for them? just like put them in that denture cleaning stuff? or do you brush like normal? mixture of the 2?

i had 2 teeth that never grew in. 1 of the bottom premolars on both sides. same spot on both sides. never really bothered me and i'm mid 30s and no dentist has ever mentioned implants before till the 1 i just changed to this year. looking into the cost through my insurance and they only cover half the cost but each is like $2500(plus i'm sure a bit more for anesthesia and whatever). so probably would cost like $3k to get both. so i'm just not going to. like i said they never bothered me eating or anything like that. they're far enough back it's not noticeable unless someone is looking into my mouth.

I do both. Every night i remove them to clean. I brush the teeth and brush inside where the implants snap into. I do put them in efferdent sometimes, and I also brush and waterpick the implants themselves. Then rinse with listerine.

Good question they should last at least 10 years. Eventually I will need new ones.
