- 👨⚕️ Dr. Spencer Russell and Dr. Alex McCree explain the benefits and drawbacks of traditional dentures, snap-on dentures, and All-on-Four implants.
- 🍽 Traditional dentures offer only 10-30% of maximum chewing force and can affect taste due to covering the roof of the mouth.
- 🧊 Snap-on dentures use 2-4 implants for the lower jaw and 4 for the upper, providing 50-65% of maximum chewing force with some risk of acrylic fracture.
- 🔨 Maintenance for snap-on dentures includes cleaning and potential replacement of snaps, which can wear out over time.
- 💡 The All-on-Four option provides a fixed bridge of teeth on implants, allowing for immediate functionality post-implantation.
- 📅 A temporary set of teeth is typically used for three months to allow for gum healing before the final set is applied.
- 💎 Two main final options for All-on-Four are the midline (monolithic zirconia) and the dreamline (individual milled zirconia teeth on a titanium bar), with the latter being extremely strong.
- 🛡️ Warranties are offered on the final products, with a five-year warranty for zirconia and a seven-year warranty for the dreamline.
- 💸 The cost for traditional dentures including extractions can range from $1,000 to $5,000, while All-on-Four implants average between $15,000 to $20,000 per arch.
Q & A
What are the main topics discussed by Dr. Spencer Russell and Dr. Alex McCree in the video?
-The main topics discussed are the differences in full mouth implants, the various options available for dental restoration, and the costs associated with each option.
What are traditional dentures made of and what are their limitations?
-Traditional dentures are made of pre-made teeth set in an acrylic base. They have limitations such as providing only 10 to 30 percent of maximum chewing force, covering the roof of the mouth which can reduce taste, and the need for adhesive to keep them in place.
How do snap-in dentures differ from traditional dentures?
-Snap-in dentures, also known as overdentures, are similar to traditional dentures but have implants in the jaw bone to secure the denture in place. They provide more stability and can restore about 50 to 65 percent of maximum chewing force.
What is the 'All-on-Four' option and how does it compare to traditional dentures and snap-in dentures?
-The 'All-on-Four' option is a fixed implant bridge of teeth on implants that are delivered either the same day or the next day. It offers a significant improvement in chewing ability, aesthetics, and does not require adhesive. It is a top-of-the-line option compared to traditional dentures and snap-in dentures.
What are the advantages of the 'All-on-Four' option over traditional dentures?
-The 'All-on-Four' option provides a more secure fit without the need for adhesive, allows for better taste sensation as it does not cover the roof of the mouth, and offers a more aesthetically pleasing result with customized teeth design.
What is the estimated cost range for traditional dentures including extractions?
-The estimated cost for traditional dentures including extractions is around four to five thousand dollars.
How do the costs of snap-in dentures compare to traditional dentures?
-Snap-in dentures are more expensive than traditional dentures, with an estimated cost ranging from four to seven thousand dollars, depending on the number of implants.
What is the average price range for the 'All-on-Four' full mouth implant bridge?
-The average price range for the 'All-on-Four' full mouth implant bridge is between 15,000 to the low 20,000 per arch.
What is the main concern with immediate final dentures as opposed to using a temporary set?
-The main concern with immediate final dentures is that the gums and bone may continue to change after implant placement, potentially leading to gaps and food trapping, which can be hard to clean. Using a temporary set allows for gum settling before the final set is made for a better fit.
What kind of warranty does the clinic offer for the 'All-on-Four' option?
-The clinic offers a five-year warranty for the zirconia option and a seven-year warranty for the top-line 'Dreamline' option, with no questions asked.
How does the clinic handle the financing for patients who cannot pay the full cost upfront?
-The clinic works with third-party lenders to offer financing options, allowing patients to make payments over time rather than paying a large lump sum upfront.

🦷 Introduction to Dental Implant Options
Dr. Spencer Russell and Dr. Alex McCree introduce the topic of full mouth implants and dentures, emphasizing the variety of options available to patients. They highlight the importance of transparency regarding costs and the suitability of each option for individual patients. Traditional dentures are discussed as a cost-effective but less desirable option due to limited chewing ability and the covering of taste buds, which affects taste sensation. The doctors also touch on the issue of dentures not staying in place and the use of adhesives to secure them.
🔨 Snap-In Dentures and Overdentures
The doctors discuss the next level of dental restoration, snap-in or overdentures, which involve the use of implants to secure the dentures in place. This option provides increased chewing force compared to traditional dentures but still falls short of natural teeth. Drawbacks include the potential for acrylic fracture and the need for maintenance due to wear and tear on the snaps. The summary also covers cleaning methods for dentures and the importance of maintaining oral hygiene around the implants to prevent failure.
💎 'All-On-Four' Full Mouth Implant Bridges
The 'All-On-Four' option is explained as a fixed implant bridge that can be delivered the same or next day after implant placement. The doctors describe the process and the importance of using a temporary set before the final restoration to allow for gum healing and settling. They discuss the customization options available, including color, shape, and shade of the teeth, and the use of digital design for a perfect fit. Different levels of materials are presented, including monolithic zirconia and a titanium bar with individual zirconia teeth, catering to the needs of heavy grinders or those with strong jaw muscles.
📈 Cost and Financing Options for Dental Implants
The final paragraph addresses the cost associated with different dental restoration options, starting with traditional dentures and moving up to snap-in dentures and the 'All-On-Four' implant bridges. The doctors provide a price range for each option and discuss financing strategies, including third-party lenders and the possibility of making smaller monthly payments over time. They emphasize the importance of transparency in pricing and the desire to help patients achieve the smile and dental function they desire.
