WORTH IT$38,500
I just had my surgery Dec. 21, 2012 at the San Diego CC. I received full denture implants, 4 on the top, 4 on the bottom, with teeth extractions as well. Looking at some real pretty teeth right now, of course just temporaries. Everyday I feel something different happening during my recovering. Hoping everything will be alright for me. Had a pretty big scare for me last week so maybe that is why I'm questioning different recovery phases. I had a Hemotoma happen in the back of my upper inside mouth, Dec. 27. Felt pressure mounting in my right sinus area on the 24th and by the 27th turned into pain and swelling. So far after seeing CC surgeon who stopped two days of bleeding I hope I'm going to be ok.

I don't know what the cost was, but for whatever reason your teeth were previously a mess and they are a whole lot better now. Not just aesthetically, but your oral health will be much improved. This is a life-long improvement that can only improve your health and your self-esteem.

This week I'm doing well. Went to work all week...
This week I'm doing well. Went to work all week and people commented how beautiful my teeth look. Even from all my family on facebook. One sister asked, "what did you do"? With these being temporary I had to make plans ahead of time of what I would eat during the day including any soft snacks if needed. Sometimes I do feel a tightening in the upper denture for some reason, it's not painful just noticeable and then subsides after awhile.
I was told I look 10 years younger, and the lines around my mouth have disappeared. I hadn't noticed it until she mentioned it. So now I'm noticing that my face is looking different around my mouth and my cheeks are looking a little fuller.

They look pretty good, very natural...Most of the implants are toooo white and look so fake.

Just posted this photo of the temporary implant...
Just posted this photo of the temporary implant upper and lower dentures. I tried to put the before photo's but they are to big. I will try another time. I'm excited and looking forward to when I get the final permanent dentures, hopefully in another few months or so. So far it's been five weeks since the surgery and I'm doing fine now. Feels nice to be able to smile without hiding. Still feels kind of awkward while eating sometimes, can't quite describe it. I eat soft foods some with a little soft texture, so that's not to bad. I drink daily 1 or 2 bottles of the nutrition shake Ensure so as to be sure to get the vitamins I need that I may not be getting with the limitations of eating certain foods and hoping also this will benefit the healing of the implants. My next appointment will be February 11, 2013, I'll post again and let you know after that date.

was this done at "Clear Choice"? Clear choice is supposed to be a 2 day procedure called "All-on-4". Why did yours take so long?
Have you gotten your permanents yet? Would love to hear your follow up on this. Your temporary teeth look great!
March 4, 2013
My procedure was done at Clear Choice and it is a 1 day procedure for the "All-on-4. I had my surgery on Dec 21, 2012 and it takes 6 months for the implants to heal. After the healing then I will receive my permanents. And thank you I agree they do look great. And when I get them I will do a follow up.

Thank you so much tottcatering for responding...and so quickly! Please keep up posted as you progress. A dear friend of mine is considering having this done and is somewhat terrified by the whole thing. But he truly needs to do something in the near future. So I will be happy to pass on your good experience to him. Must be wonderful seeing those beautiful teeth everyday.

I was also terrified by the whole thing. And I heard from other readers I wasn't the only one.
Only by the grace of God did I finally get the courage to follow through. Major surgery is terrifying, but it is sometimes necessary for the best of us. Tell your friend, that when I look back at it the fear I felt was for the unknown. He'll be just fine. The doctors really help because they know what their doing

I don't know if you saw my other posts under another individuals post and if you didn't let me say that I had several teeth extracted, the implants put in place and the dentures placed in all in the same day. And I went home the same day. On the websites that I looked at before I had the surgery, I didn't know that it's "major surgery". Just thought I would mention that, so there's no surprises about anything.

The photo you see here are my upper and lower temporary denture implants. The answer to your question "are they hard to get used to" absolutely not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 5, 2013
Thanks for answering my question I will be going in July to start my procedure kind of nervous. So as long as the food is soft you're able to eat with no problem

Thank you for your honesty and walking thru this process, I am terrified totally scared of dentist. I really need to have this done. Question, I had the beginning stages of gum disease some years ago, and too afraid to go back to the dentist for cleaning because of pain. Do they address this type of issue during consultation?
August 16, 2013
It always breaks my heart to hear when people are fearful of going to the dentist. :( I don't know what your thoughts are on taking medications, but if its something you are open to you can always tell your dentist how you feel and they might be able to prescribe you something to help calm your nerves before the appointment.

Scheduled for both upper and lower implants Dec. 10 , 2014 . I would love to hear how you are doing I assume you have the permanent teeth by now. Would like to know as many details as you are willing to share. I have a lot of trepidation ; my teeth are bad but not terrible.

Ask me what you need to know.If you have to do - do now.Bargin the price, ask discount.
Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry to hear about the hematoma. Did the doctor drain it? Hopefully that will be the only bump in your recovery and things will go smoothly from here!
