WOW!! What's even more stunning is how the agencies and professional groups responded...or didn't. Just wow.

I think I will pass on implants. This is scary..omgosh

Remember pain is another issue with these implants. If you don;;t have dense bone they can be painful months after implantation. If it were me I would stick with dentures or leaving the teeth as is.

How about looking into holding the dentists accountable for the failed work!!!! ???? This blatant medical malpractice!!

What they didn’t mention is how common it is for the screw that fastens the tooth crown to the implant post to come loose and have to be retightened through your life. Just more of an inconvenience than anything, but with a small financial cost each time. Additionally the screw can only be retightened 2 to 3 times before it must be replaced in order to prevent possibility of the screw breaking.

God Bless you Kris Pickel!!! this needs to be picked up by national news outlets

This is a shame. All ppl want is to look decent and feel well..this is scary.

They only do a weekend class on dental implants or a seminar

I'm not asking them jack cause they won't see my mouth or my money💯 Thank yall for the warning saved my life on this one

You would think these dentist would take pride in their work, and make sure they have the proper training in order to perform this type of surgery. Once again it's about the almighty dollar and everyone wants to get on board with no mercy with their patients. Very sad.

Greed

Friends who have dentures love them - no issues , no problems. My business partner says best decision he ever made.

I don’t understand why one just wouldn’t use poligrip And get metal screwed into your jaw instead?

I wish I had known this before, I am having serious problems with dental implants .

Omg I'm not getting them now I was interested but I'm good. I don't like surgeries anyway never had none never want any and I'm definitely not about to pay for somebody to mess up my face an my mouth and my jaw bone they got life messed up they out there practicing on people mouth and life that's a hard No 👎 💯

Since no one else included this information, the database they referred to is MAUDE - Manufacturer And User Facility Device Experience. The second one is Device Events.

I have an implant supported denture. I had to wear a denture over the implants for 90 days post implant surgery and I think that made my implants integrate into my bone so well. My implants have never had to be tightened, I broke my denture and had to purchase a new one and they had to change the position of the abutment but the implants are a part of my bone. I think it could be a lot of the time the instant gratification, the placing of the implants and loading the implants with the weight of the teeth immediately that could be part of the problem. I do feel the fact that my implants were not loaded for 90 days is what made them become a part of me so well.

They are supposed to make sure the gums are strong enough for them and that you not rejecting the material their putting in the gums bro they messed up that women's mouth , Thank you because like I said I was about to consider it but because of this broadcast I will never do it💯

Well. I'm not going to get implants for the few missing teeth I have. Not worth it.

The dental implant procedure traumatized me. I have not felt comfortable since my oral surgeon if that's what he deserves to be called, put an implant in my #8 last month. I have been complaining about his lack of professionalism since and low and behold, today it fell out of my mouth (in tact). My "stitches" on implant site started to dissolved yesterday and this morning the implant fell out of my mouth. I am assuming the stitches were the only thing keeping the implant in my gum. It's Sunday so I have to wait a day to been seen. The company (24/7 operator) is not treating this as a dire emergency by any means. My mouth actually feels better. I don't think I was a good fit for an implant. I do envy people with two front teeth however. My goal now is to avoid paying more than what I put down for the deposit. I am holding the dentist partially responsible until I have the post surgery x-ray examined by a second party. Please let me know what you had to do after your implant fell out of your mouth. Good luck.

My wife had 5 implants 6 years ago , last year one was loosen and had to be extracted , this year so far 2 more were extracted . The dentist said that these implant failed because of the bone loss ,not his fault . WE will never do implant any more

Thank you for this story! I just had two implants done two weeks ago. I trust my doctor and hope for the best!

😲 Thank-You! I Must get All New Teeth. I Signed Up for their Newsletter. I haven't even Started Researching Dental Implants. Your Investigative Report is Perfect Timing for me. I've only been Saving the Thousands of Dollars in a RSA I expect to Pay wondering How Much Excellent Work will be.

🦷this is frightening.

Wow, looking at the woman's mouth with the issues shows her dentist was an idiot! She needs to get an attorney ... sad to say here in the US that is about the way to get change is by suing for large amounts of money ...

general dentistry is filling simple cavities , not implants

I am having both jaws done because my present teeth are a mess. I have no choice but to take my chances.

I just had a filling fall out of a premolar.. and I went to two dentists who said I needed a Root Canal procedure, and then I went to a HOLISTIC dentist, and he said he can save the tooth by doing Pulp Capping... Don't get a root canal ! and get a partial instead of implants or bridges if you have to pull it !! to hel* with root canals and Invasive dentistry ($$$$) .. God bless

Excellent Reporting 👌👍👍👍👍!!! Moral character and Good Ethics are Not..... requirements to where a white coat. We get this when we go to a car dealership or mechanic shop.

How about exposing dentists who ruin well-insured children's teeth? Because that's what happened to me. My mom was too in infatuated and trusting of the psychopathic, blue eyed dentist to realize what he was doing. She still blames it on me, saying I didn't take care of my teeth. Yet I had a mouthful of symmetrical fillings, and two gold crowns in the back by the time I was 18. Thanks doc, you ruined my adulthood and did god knows what with that mouthful of metal you replaced perfectly good bone with.

I'm concerned about implant screws from China that look like standard wood screw thread. They are listed as titanium but look like stainless . I saw Them as cheap as $3 . They say FDA approved but I found out many electrical items that have a CE approval stickers are not Certified but instead China claims it stands for China export

It's very important to note that not everyone is a candidate (as this video states). But yes, where is the problem; is it the clinician, the patient?

Can somebody explain what went wrong with her particular procedure?

WOW 😳😱. That's a Full of BS in dentistry industry 👎👎👎

You asked "local experts" that are far from experts. How did you choose these guys? Because they have a "school?" This implant is probably angled too far.... OMG. Really? You must have AT LEAST 2 mm of buccal bone. This is basic knowledge. Ask the director of the periodontics department at the school and at least you'll be getting somewhere. Not two guys in a denture clinic. I'm sure these guys are great at what they do but let's please not use the word "expert." That conveys a level of knowledge lacking in this video.

A major part of the problem is the Arizona Dental Board, whose salary is paid from dental license fees creating an immediate conflict of interest, even in the most egregious cases votes no harm. One Board member in the September/December meeting tapes when it was suggested a license be suspended objected "now wait, these our our friends and colleagues." The mission is to protect the public. The Board should be honest about their mission or forced to do their jobs. Enforcement is not a priority with the administration. This is the across the board story to talk about. There is no redress for those you are exposing were hurt.

Not a surprise, most dentist are winging it.

I had ten implants with two fixed bridges done overseas for a fraction of what those rip of crooked American dentist charge and I've never needed any adjustments at all. I was quoted 75,000 or more in the USA and got it done in south America for under 10k. American dentist have been ripping off Americans for way to long. Dental tourism is fascinating

I do not get how people use malpractice as a reason not to get implants. There are many success stories. But you need to see a specialist, not some dentists that seldomly practices to implant or lack the proper education. The standard US dental education does not include enough information or practice to implant. This is something the doctor has to learn separately.

Never, EVER allow a general dentist to place an implant. No it doesn’t matter that they went to a CE course. NO. Please trust me on this, I have worked in this field for 10 years, early on I spent 3 of those years working for an egotistical general dentist who thought he could do it all. He went to one implant course and thought he was a master. Even after a 90% fail rate on all of his cases, he still kept the same smug attitude and kept placing implants and he is allowed to do that. No one got any money back because they signed the dotted line. Please do your research and only see those who specialize in the field, preferably someone who is recommended to you by a trusted source.

i was going to get implants after watching this no thanks !

I'm doing implants in the back office of my laundromat if anyone is interested! February 14 Valentine's Day special if you mention this ad❤

This is insane, how else can we trust other dentist? and they even charge a hefty amount...why can't they innovate their practice? its the 2024 already everybody is using ai or things i heard there's an ai for the dental industry.

Thats what happens when you get your implants in Turkey

Metal should NOT go into the mouth. Put ur HEALTH over ur Vanity

American GREED

Some dentist get in a hurry and let their assist do too much of the work.

👍

Very conflicting from the other dental implant video you posted. There are such things as early loss and late losses in dental implants which are required to be reported to the FDA. Early loss are almost always an injury and late losses could result in an injury as well. The 2% of device malfunctions is very different from the figure you posted in the last video, claiming 88% of dental implants fail. With a 2% device malfunction rate, longitudinally that just wouldn't make sense. Also, unless it's an injury, that wouldn't be an adverse event! It's very common (1/20) for patients to have SDR (Same day removals) for the implant which is misleading if you don't say that because it suggests it could just randomly fall out at any given time. Simply not true and disingenuous reporting.

Go to a dr of endodontist

Dentist friends say if implant fails it's mainly karma

7:58 Is an absolutely insane clip to have in this report. She thinks she saw 4 out of 10 implants fail? Roughly 3 out of every 100 implants fail

😂😂😂
