Host: When you meet someone for the first time, their smile makes a lasting impression. More than 1.5 million Texans are either wearing dentures or will be in the near future, according to the National Center for Health Statistics.
Our next guest wants you to know you have options beyond dentures. Dr. Riad Almasri of FastNewSmile® Dental Implant Center is here to talk about the benefits of dental implants. Good morning! How are you?
Dr. Almasri: I’m good. How are you?
Host: It sounds like this is an issue that’s really impacting a lot of people and will continue to do so. How important is this subject?
Dr. Almasri: It’s extremely important. A lot of patients don’t know they have the option of dental implants. One reason is that their doctor never explores that option—they’re just told, “You can only have dentures.” Another reason is that patients have been told they’re not candidates for implants, which is often not true.
With the new technology we have, many patients who were told no before are actually good candidates now. And finally, patients are just scared—they think implants hurt, or that the process takes years. That’s not true. We can do it in a day, and it’s relatively painless.
Host: So those are the reasons people have been choosing dentures instead?
Dr. Almasri: Exactly.
Host: If someone is wearing dentures now, or thinking about getting them, why should they also consider a FastNewSmile®?
Dr. Almasri: In a nutshell, FastNewSmile® is the least expensive way to get permanent, beautiful, functional teeth that don’t come in and out—and it’s all done in a day.
Host: All done in a day? I’ve done stories where people had their entire mouth reconstructed. It changes their life—their confidence, the way they move through the world. It’s not just a smile. It’s everything. Would you agree?
Dr. Almasri: Absolutely. One hundred percent.
Host: I understand you brought a model to show how FastNewSmile® works?
Dr. Almasri: Yes. Just to explain simply—we use at least four implants. Think of them like four legs of a table. A table can’t stand on three legs, right? So we place four implants, sometimes six, and attach the teeth permanently to those implants. They’re screwed in, so the patient can’t remove them.
Here—try to take the teeth off this model. You can’t. It’s just four implants and four screws. You don’t need one implant for every tooth, which would be far more expensive.
Host: That used to be the way, right?
Dr. Almasri: Yes. But now, there’s no palate, no flanges. You won’t need to excuse yourself during dinner to clean out your dentures. No food gets stuck underneath. These feel like natural teeth. You can chew, eat, talk—everything—without worrying about wobbling or slippage.
Host: What I’m hearing from you is confidence. Whether it’s a business meeting or a date, you’re not worrying about your teeth. That’s huge.
Dr. Almasri: Absolutely.
Host: So here’s the big question—why should someone come to your practice? Why FastNewSmile®?
Dr. Almasri: Great question. First, we offer a lifetime guarantee on our implants. Second, we’re a one-stop shop—everything happens in our office. We even have an in-house lab that fabricates the teeth. And finally, we try to make it affordable. We offer multiple financing options so patients can make monthly payments.
Even though FastNewSmile® is the least expensive way to get permanent implants, we understand that cost is still a concern. That’s why we offer free consultations to see if you’re a candidate and explain your options.
Host: So the consultation is just to get informed. No pressure?
Dr. Almasri: Exactly. Just information and answers.
Host: I love that. Thank you so much—this has been fascinating. And I know you’re not just changing smiles—you’re changing lives.
Dr. Almasri: Thank you.
