How much does ClearChoice cost?

By Sharon at RealSelf on 30 Nov 2011

I have a general question. I don't know much about ClearChoice, but I'm curious: There's one review that lists the cost at $42,500. Is this for real? Does ClearChoice cost this much normally or did that patient have a special case?

I didn't have my implants done by clear choice - but the price range was about the same (actually a little higher because of some bone grafts needed). I had a full upper arch on 6 implants. Total cost was about $45,000. I know that sounds like a lot of money, and it is - but you have to think about quality of life. I was miserable with my full upper denture. It fit fine and didn't hurt - but not tasting food and the mess of taking it in and out was just unbearable for me. As far as cost goes - think about how much a new car costs (almost as much for a decent one) - and how long does a car last or retain its value? A titanium full upper arch on implants will pretty much a life time. I use my teeth 24/7 and a car maybe once or twice a day. I would rather have a cheap car and great teeth that don't limit what I can eat or taste.
ClearChoice needs to start out their info commercial with.....if you can not finance or have at least 35,000 to 40,000 don't continue to watch your going to be depressed and waste your time and our postage for mailings.
Frak1964. I needed these for the past 10 years. I remember the first time I called was probably 8 years ago and my reaction was the same as yours. WOW! I'll never be able to afford those so I'll just live with missing/failing teeth and someday get dentures. But I just couldn't stand the thought of dentures and somehow I was finally able to get this procedure done. I wish anyone needing it could just walk in, have it done and not have to worry about cost. I hope you will be able to get them someday!!!!
It's nice to finally read a story with a positive ending! I would like to know if you had implants " all of the top and bottom done". If so, then I understand why it would be so expensive.
I only want two or three on my lower. Hopefully that won't cost even 10,000!
You know I understand cost and I understand that everyone needs to make a living but let me tell you 40,000 , wow. I mean wow!
I don't have an extra hidden sack of money with 40,000 in it lying around my house, nor in the bank! I guess if I could get on one of those new reality shows I could come up with 40,000!

Im only 27 years old and I have horrible teeth. My parents and my sister all have bad teeth. I can't afford dental work as it probably won't do any good. They say I was born with this crap! I have multiple tooth aches at a time and can only eat soup and things like this. My kids come first. So I ask this question , "is there an alternative for a guy like me trying to get this work done? And if there is how do I apply?".. This is killing me so any advice would be great.

I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through Chris. You might want to see if any of the universities in your area have a school of dentistry.  From what I understand going to a dental school can be a good way to get dental work done at a substantially reduced cost, so it might be worth looking into.

Yes it is cheaper if you are choosen, or poor enough for a Dental School to except you so they can practice/learn how to do certain procedures. Since they are "learning", I think it might be pretty painful to be their human guinea pig!

well i got bottom inplants but i like to know the real price or roughly the price for top inplants Jean Guy

Mizfit If you are only 20 years old, unless you have some sort of disease from birth, you probably do not need implants. Your teeth might look very bad but amazing things can be done with crowns and or veneers depending on what the trouble is.
Some people have recently commented about US dentists having malpractice insurance. I am sure they do. But I have heard of several cases in the US where things went wrong with implants and the patient was just out of luck. To pursue your case you do need a lawyer. There are not that many that specialize in dental. There are a few. The general line is that unless the dental really caused something bad like complete loss of sensation in the face or something - you really don't have much of a case. It will cost more in lawyer fees than to redo the work. Ever seen loss of limb stuff. Lose a hand and get $5,000. Really!! Another thing that many might not be aware of - you will find it very hard to get another dentist to testify on your behalf. They just have very little incentive to do so. I know of a case where a couple had 9 implants place in the US. Wife 6 and husband 3. All implant sites became infected. Dentist was going to do something but not a complete repair. Their lawyer is very slow - no good. Not sure how much experience people have had with lawyers but things have a tendency to go on and on and on - they get paid by the hour. They have gone to some State review board but progress again is very slow. Here is a real eye opener - http://www.osseonews.com/category/dental-implant-news/advice-implants/ Take some time and read around. This is a board for dentists. You have a dentist saying I did this and it did not work. Then one dentist will say make it bigger. The next will say make it smaller. The next will say there is nothing wrong just give it some time. And on and on and on.
@The Mizfit, you need to look into going down to Costa Rica, it cost awhole lot less and the dentist do just about the same work. The thing is they dont have malpractice fees to worry about and that's why it's so much cheaper. It's a damn shame that any person of working class in the united states of america does not have a better way to get dental work done. you deserve it though, don't go on thinking you have to be broke for the rest of your life or hit the lotto to get your teeth fixed and looking well. http://www.aestheticdentistrycr.com/home.html
I think all the Costa Rica proponents should create their own thread. This is a ClearChoice thread.
Hi Another, I totally agree with you! Colee

If they aren't covered by malpractice insurance (which is what the fees are) what happens if something goes terribly wrong and they actually have performed malpractice?

Good question Megan. Answer, you are left with faulty work with a dentist that is in South America. I could go for something like that on dentures or a crown or something but if they are cutting my gums and drilling in my jaw bone, I think I'll stay in the States. :-)
I mean Central America.
We are trying to help peolple giving them different choices. I can't believe that making 6 figures here in the states i have to pay a fortune for dental care. That doesn't include braces for my kids etc etc. I have good dental higiene but due to my problem with LUPUS. I hae to pay $900 per root canal and for crowns like another $900. I don't have any problem with dentists here i'm trying to help people with my comments.
You are right . But also happen here in the states. If you don't prove that was malpractice you are in the same boat . Also yo have to pay for a lawyer wich include fees at least $200 (per hour). It depends if you are healthy or not.If you have a medical condition or a chronic disease etc. I know people with no major health problems and their dental implants failed. I have a medical issue but i don't like the conventional solutions and i did it.

Emily where did you pull that number from? It's closer to $20,000 per arch.
Unfortunately, I don't remember the source...(
