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?
Answer: 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. People that only want/need a single implant HAVE been offered to have all remaining teeth removed. I understand that MOST people that go in do not accept treatment and seek alternatives. Some treatment offered to people are NOT options that I PERSONALLY would have presented. That does not mean Clear Choice is bad, it just is what it is. Clear Choice is NOT here in Seattle (yet) so I can only speak from hearsay.

Answer: Do Your Research! Many practices use a “team” of specialists to perform the “All-on-4″ procedure, or you are referred to a “team” of specialists, when this happens every member of the “team” must get paid! This results in higher costs for the Patient. Don't become a just another number, make sure you are treated like a member of the family.

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.

Answer: Not All Clear Choice Centers are the Same Ultimately the dentist, anesthesiologist and lab technician are the ones that will be responsible for your comfort, safety and the final outcome. That varies from doctor to doctor and office to office. If you are unsure, get a second opinion. The All on Four treatment is absolutely amazing and one of my favorite treatment options but there may be alternatives, make sure you are aware of them. For the record I have heard good things about Clear Choice in Dallas.

Answer: 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 they offer, even if your teeth are healthy) They convince the patient that all of their teeth are infected and they need to come, making the patient now a dental cripple. If you have already lost a large amount of bone or have been in denturees for a long period of time, All on Four is a good option, but it is not the only option for all pts. That is like saying that because you have one blocked artery in your heart, you need a heart transplant when you only need a one vessel angioplasty. Totally unethical. As mentioned before once you get pulled into one of these centers you get bombarded by a bunch of sales people, it is truly the proverbial used car salesman routine. You dont see a doctor until the day of surgery. Beware of corporate dental establishments. They will call you on a daily basis after your "free consultaion" and brow beat you into returning for treatment if you didn't make a deposit on the day of your consultation
