I went to consultation yesterday in san antonio...

19 Jul 2012

I went to consultation yesterday in san antonio and talked to suzie. she was very helpful and not pushy at all. i toured the facility, met the lab technicians, but I passed on meeting the prosthodontist yet. My work up appt is july 27th at 7:30 a.m. I will meet him then. I had been diagnosed with periodontal disease 20 years ago, and have battled it ever since. Root planing and scaling 3 times, flap surgery...now I have loose teeth. I havent lost any, but I am not waiting til I do! I am always told I have a nice smile, which makes this surgery really hard to do. My teeth are good; the disease process is eating the bone away and making them loose. The periodontist I went to was going to do a sinus lift, multiple bone grafts, 6 implants on my upper arch...to the tune of $30,000.00 plus! He couldnt give me an exact quote. I am spending exactly $40,000.00 for upper and lower at clear choice!! I will get back to post more info after my next appt.

Great review?

went for 3 mo follow up today. implants look great...I havent been flossing enough, so plaque had built up on my bridges. I know how to use the floss...just being lazy! we tried on new bridges with teeth in wax to replicate the changes they have made. They looked wonderful!! the team met to discuss changes regarding my bite. my next appt is in january...hope they are perfect next time so they can go ahead and get my permanent bridges done! Also, they recommend cleaning once a year. They charge 150.00. the first year cleaning is complimentary.

Oh yay! Glad to hear all is going well! Yeah, flossing is one of those funny things that is easy, but for some reason we all just tend to neglect doing it as often as we know we should - at least you aren't alone in that.

I'll be looking forward to hearing what they say at your Jan. appt. :)

sure thing. Motrin 800 and hydrocodone. It is now day 7 and I am having way less pain today. It has been rough the last few days, however I knew it would get better, and voila! It did. Very pleased at this point. Teeth look great.

That is great the pain is decreasing, even better that you are liking the look of your teeth. :) Looking forward to seeing some pictures of them when you feel comfortable sharing them.

My surgery was on the 6th, and so far so good. I have lots of swelling and quite a bit of pain, but meds are helping tremendously. Since I had a full mouth of teeth that were extracted, this was expected.

I'm so glad to hear you are doing well! Do you mind sharing with us what you are taking for pain, just so we have an idea of what is needed to curb the discomfort?

Randall651, it depends on what all you need to have done. I am having all my teeth extracted, upper and lower, four implants on each arch, and two fixed bridges placed. Once the implants are integrated w/the bone, I will receive new, titanium fixed bridges that will be my permanent bridges.

Clear Choice Dental Implants, Marketing Hype or Quality Care?

Randall651 2 Aug 2012

How much should a complete mouth restoration cost? My teeth are ruined and I would prefer full implants that cannot be removed. I got quotes from two dentists and two periodontists, both locally and in New York. I did not tell one what the other said but the prices were identical. $125,000. Is this what permament implants of a whole mouth cost?

went for consultation/prep/molds today. Veronica was great; she is oral surgeon's assistant. Met Dr Monarres and the lab techs. Feeling really good about this! Surgery day is Sept 6th, so back with more details then...

GL090563 20 Jul 2012

Dr Monarres was there that day, and he did look at the scan. She offered for me to meet him, however I declined. I have checked up on the oral surgeons they use ( dr edgin and dr rominger) and they are top notch. with those scans, they can see everything. they have 5 different views of my mouth, so I am confident that they will do a good job.

I'm glad you are feeling good about the hands you are in. That is so important. Looking forward to hearing more about your experience! :)

7:30am?! Wow, you are an early riser! ;)

Since you mentioned you didn't meet with the Clear Choice prosthodontist I'm assuming you met with another dentist there, is that right? I'm guessing they wouldn't have been able to quote you a price if a dentist hadn't seen you to diagnose you.
