There are really mixed reviews on the quality of care received from Clear Choice Dental Implants. A lot of people state that they feel they were "sold" on the treatment, and that the care itself was not great. The teeth feeling "plastic" seems to be another common complaint. What is their reputation among the professionals?

Dental Implant Treatment

I must agree with the majority of the posted answers, Dr Kazemi below hit it right on the head . This Implant "supercenter" is geared towards making large amounts of money to recoup the millions of dollars they spend on marketing. The doctors that work at these centers are paid a percentage of each case they perform. They have no vested interest in the patient. Patients are overcharged for the All On Four procedure (which is essentially the only treatment... more

Dental practices should not be K-Mart model

These mass production centers are geared on making money. In order to compete with low prices a compromise on the quality of the products they use and the experience of the practitioners. There is a lot of implants on the market that are not the same quality of the main brands with no safety research or quality control and they are very cheap thus the low prices that are given. For instance, the most established brands of dental implants cost the surgeon on average $600 while the... more

Implants feeling real?

The same treatment is never a fix all for all people. Every one has different needs, expectations, conditions and limitations. As a general rule, what sounds to be a great deal and too good to be true , it is just that. Stay away from fads and gimmicks, stay away from branding . Always go with your gut feeling, but make an educated choice by getting a second opinion every time that you do not understand a situation or things do not feel right. Always do your home work and find a... more

I feel like an informed consumer is a better consumer. Do some research before making your consutation and listen to treatment options presented. If you do not feel comfortble with what the doctor or team are presenting, get a second option. There are always several ways to complete your treatment.

Clear Choice Or All-on-four is not for everyone

Clear choice is in the business to treat people with a full jaw of teeth on four implants. This is an excellent option for many patients who fit the profile for this type of treatment. This type of treatment has also been "packaged" into everything for one price. My advice is to always get a second opinion. Yes, in many cases the replacement teeth are a type of denture tooth that is a type of plastic, but all-on-four can also be completed with porcelain teeth. The financial... more

Clear choice implant centers

I have talked to many patients who have been to one of the Clear Choice centers and also two doctors that briefly worked for them. Here is what the patients have told me: They were met by a sales person and were pushed hard to sign up for the treatment and pay deposit. They were not given any treatment options except what they do which is mostly all-on-4 treatment. One patient had some teeth that were perfectly fine but needed some minor periodontal therapy. But she was told it's better... more

Clearchoice - Dentures on Stilts

ClearClearchoice is a venture capital backed for profit operation. Like many many big businesses they are flush with cash for marketing and maintaining a large department of attorneys that intimidate possible lawsuits or other challenges. They are working more off a business model. When choosing a doctor or dentist or anything that involves your health you should be concerned about the underlying motives of the doctor. HOw much time did the doctor spend with you? Do... more

Clear choice dental implant centers aren't ALL bad

Before accepting treatment, do some research and be sure you are comfortable with the decision. Just like some franchises are run well and others aren't (I love the Subway near my house, but not the one near where I work), Clear Choice offers a good option to people. It is a practice that joins an oral surgeon with a prosthodontist and has a lab in house. Quite often when the work is done, it is done well. However, sometimes a square peg is pushed into a round hole... more
