Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

CHRONOLOGY:
03-JUN-2014: I received an implant on 03-JUN-2014 by Dr. M. Don Ross. Some of the steps did not happen that I had been told would happen (i.e. no sedation was used (only a local anesthetic), no mouth-wash or anti-biotic prescription was called-in to the pharmacy in advance).
12-JUN-2014: I returned to ClearChoice for a follow-up. The dentist (Dr. Jennifer Kim) asked me if I had received the sedation, mouth-wash and anti-biotic prescription during the implant procedure.
I responded: “No”. Dr. Jennifer Kim said, “OK, this is not going well. But fortunately, there is no infection or issues.”
08-DEC-2014: Received tooth #18 (08-DEC-2014) for $4,500 (at ClearChoice in Dallas, TX at 9101 N. Central Expressway, Suite #520).
07-JAN-2015: One month later, tooth #18 came loose on 07-JAN-2015.
I must have swallowed the screw holding tooth #18, because it was gone, and the filling over the top-of-the-screw was gone.
There was a sharp pin protruding from the implant by about 1/8 of an inch, which was stabbing my tongue when I was not careful.
I called ClearChoice to make an appointment to have the tooth re-attached, but the earliest appointment was 13 days later on 20-JAN-2015.
18-JAN-2015: I accidentally swallowed tooth #18 on 18-JAN-2015.
20-JAN-2015: I arrived for scheduled appointment. A temporary top was placed on the implant.
26-FEB-2015: Five weeks later, a new tooth #18 was received on 26-FEB-2015.
29-DEC-2017: The tooth #18 fell off (again), and the bottom of the screw is missing. There is a white thread (looks like pipe threading tape) protruding from the bottom of tooth #18 (see picture below).
IF this tooth is going to come loose every 1.5 years (on average), and leads to considerable costs for repairs each time, I am beginning to wonder if this is worth $4,500 , and whether there is some defect in the tooth, and/or implant, and/or process?
