Today’s topic: Is it worth it or not worth it?
Screw-retained hybrid acrylic denture compared to screw-retained ceramic.
Which one’s worth it?
You want to know about that?
Stay tuned.
Alright, so let’s talk about this hot topic.
It’s not easy, it’s complicated.
There’s a lot of money involved.
And the patient needs to know which one is best.
It’s a very controversial topic.
I’m only a lab technician okay.
You can’t get service through me directly.
If you’re a patient go to your doctor, they can send me your prescription.
Then I can consult with the doctor.
I just want to be clear about that.
Let’s say the patient doesn’t have any teeth or the patient has a
tooth hygiene problem, so the doctor has to pull out everything
and then they will make dentures for you or if you don’t want dentures
they will place implants for you Regardless if they’re a Specialist or General Practitioner
if you don’t have much money financially
they’ll recommend dentures or if you have a bit more money, you can get
a locator with 2 implants or 3 implants with a hader bar
if you have more money, you can get 4 to 7 implants
Many people still don’t know the pros and cons
So let’s clear that up today, okay If you choose screw-retained implant dentures,
here are the pros lab costs are less
I noticed the doctors charge around $1,500 all the way to $5,000
More pros, it’s light it’s easy to repair, dentist can easily
repair at their chairside Why?
This is acrylic, I call it plastic.
Cleansibility is really good.
Here’s the cons after a year, if you don’t clean it well,
this plastic can get stained and stink.
Now we’ll talk about zirconia like this.
This is top of the line, this is very expensive Why?
there’s a lot of work and labor involved.
And a lot of high end skill involved in each step that has to be thoroughly done
that’s why I’m losing my hair Pros: This is ceramic.
Underneath the ceramic there’s a hybrid bar
We specially design it with tooth prep and make it really thin underneath
It won’t break ever because it’s titanium not only that, we put ceramic over the top
of it all ceramic, so there’s absolutely no stains
it’s beautiful just like real teeth and exceptional hygiene underneath
Alright, cons.
It’s a little heavier than the other options, up to 3 or 4 times heavier
The price is around $4,000 to $8,000 depends on the laboratory skill level
if they can do it, you can choose it I’d like to talk to you aside, let me show
you more in detail about it Here’s the frame design, here’s after
we sandblasted Here’s after baking
and then the final restorations And this one, finished top and bottom, maxillary
and mandible, the finished restorations this is what you can get
okay, and then here are the prototypes we added a little bit more facially
and here’s another sample for them so that one, that one’s final
there’s a lot of technicians out there so you can choose: basic work, mediocre work,
highest work depends on the people, depends on their mentality
depends on their background, just like with diamonds
so like I say, you can go to Walmart, get a big 5 karat diamond for $2,000
but when you go to downtown Chicago, New York, Tiffany, whatever
they have very small $20,000 diamonds.
The difference?
Its quality.
Right?
So if you like that.
