60000.00 for Nothing

$60,000
I have been going to clear choice since 2012 and I still have no teeth. They have never given me teeth that fit right. They break so easily that by the time I get home I have already broke one. I paid for my molds and because they lost them I was told they needed to get new molds at my expense. They refuse to repair them and now I had to purchase the tools to remove the screws that hold the teeth in because they were cutting the inside of mouth up. The last time I went there they found so old teeth that weren't mine and used them to repair mine. Before dinner was ready the teeth broke again. They are suppose to have a lifetime guarantee but as I have stated I have no teeth and they refuse to do anything about that unless I give them another 10000.00 dollars. If you haven't given them any money don't you can find better teeth for less money at many other places.

OMG noooooooooo. Where was this office? I just went to them here in Dallas but haven't given them any money. DAMN
The first office he went to was off of 75 now they moved to Rambler Rd in Dallas.
Don't do it. They promise the world until they get your money
I also consulted Clearchoice and decided to go with Dr Golpa and the G4. I had the procedure in Vegas in mid Nov and could not be happier. There is not one person that I met that works there that isn’t amazing. Friendly and competent.
This is crazy so sorry to hear your story and so much money spent.
For anyone curious about where to go and who to trust...DR GOLPA IS THE BEST! Had this procedure done in 2012 and have NO regrets!
I had mine in 13. Why did you not post this until last year? Strange, as you have posts going back pretty far. Anyway, what kind of bridges do ya have? How often do you go back now, or should I say, how often have you been back? Have you had any issues at all?
I've been a Realself member since the day after I had my proceedure 8 years ago. I remember sitting in my hotel room in April 2013 writing my review. Anyone is welcome to read it, although I believe the date wasn't updated when Realself upgraded the site. I would hope Realself wouldn't except BOGUS reviews, however I understand they can't fact check every review. muncymomof9 had made a false statement! Look at her posts. There are only 6 of them. There's one from last year claiming her DENTIST wouldn't give opioid pain meds. I was wondering why she hadn't gotten back to me to compare "notes" Why would you lie about this? There is an issue, If my statement is going to be removed, a false statement should be removed as well.
I'm due to see Dr Golpa in Vegas on July 27th. I've had some issues that began during the 1st year (see my avatar). When I have been able to see Dr Golpa he takes care of my issues, and I'm good for about a year, or so. Since I upgraded to these Zarconia Platue, I have had some serious concerns. I was somehow taken off the mailing list 4, or 5 years ago, and have repeatedly requested I be put back on, but to no avail. I've had an almost impossible time getting my yearly appointments. From being lied to by staff, to showing up for an appointment, only to be told Dr Golpa wasn't going to be in (that was Feb 2019). FINALLY on Oct 1st 2019, 9 months of suffering later, and after pleading for an appointment, Ashley (who's no longer there) was able to get me in. I did however waste a trip to Vegas, and a bunch of $, as I flew in from the E Coast. This past May 19th, I got a call around noon EST telling me Dr Golpa once again would be out of the office! Luckily Carlos, the office manager screwed up, and put me down for a date I had not confirmed. I had been delicately trying to make the staff aware I was not happy with the Zarconia bridge. They click, my speech becomes practically unintelligible, the bite gets "off", I bite my cheeks, and tounge...., and the embutment has become more and more visible. So 2 appointments in Vagas canceled the day of my appointment, a 9 month wait to get an appointment, and after 4-5 years I have yet to be put back on the mailing list. I would hope Dr Golpa is not aware of this, and wouldn't think he would be capable of treating a patient like this? However, there is a cancer within his staff, and I feel he needs to be made aware of what's going on, as I know he wouldn't want his reputation tarnished by one, or 2 of his employees. I've been in poor health since having a failed spinal fusion, so I can't take off to Vegas on a moments notice as I once could. The comments I get about my bridge is less than flattering, and frankly embarrassing. I've tried to touch base privately with Dr Golpa for several years now, but I don't believe he's getting the messages? I'm having trouble believing a lot of things, as I've been repeatedly lied to, especially of late.. This is an SOS to Dr Golpa. I know he reads these, and I'm hoping these issues get addressed. I've tried to keep any issue I've ever had "in house". I just can't afford to waste another trip out there. My visits to Dr Golpa have become my wife, and my semi yearly vacation. I'm really stressing at this point.
I had teeth done by clearchoice in 2015 and Ive had no problems whatsoever. I find the post above to be so outlandish as to not be real.

1. Their teeth come with a 5 year warranty, not a lifetime warranty. In that time, I broke one tooth, and they fixed it same day. Ive not broken a tooth since, and I am able to eat anything on the menu.

2. When you have the implant surgery, they give you the blue box, which contains your molds among other things. You have the responsibility to bring it to all of your appointments.

3. On surgery day, they do not give you permanent teeth. They give you temporary teeth, which are designed for healing, and you are confined to a soft food diet.

4. The screws sit in recessed sockets inside the bridges. There is no way for the screws to cut up the inside of your mouth.
#2. I never got a blue box with my molds in it. The molds stayed in house.
The first 5 years I had no problem with mine had surgery 2011, With hybrid titanium, upper arch 4 in one implant, over $20, 000.00 , late 2015 thanksgiving my front tooth and tooth to the left, while eating broke off arch and fell out, I had my implants done first in Las Vegas , relocated to Florida, because of holiday the only app. At a clear choice was 4 hours away in Tampa and could not get in for 2 1/2 weeks. Ughh! They were repaired but didn’t look as good as they did. The next year or late spring I had the front tooth and the other side tooth come out broke off and my front tooth and the other side is loose I had to go back all the way and they couldn’t get me in for at least a week and a half so I lost a lot of work at that time too. Christmas that year well I could wish for is my two front teeth seriously both front teeth fell out. I got the crazy glue I wasn’t gonna be without teeth. Because of the holidays they got me in two weeks later in Fort Lauderdale. No pushing forward 2020 I had a crack from post to post on the back,With screws are I called Westpalm office that have opened closer to my home needless to say they had a lot of emergencies and they couldn’t get me in three weeks later, I really couldn’t understand why emergency wise to my front teeth have to fill out again anyway if he got me and by the way it was only a hairline crack in the office visit would’ve been a lot less, it had cracked and three other places. Charge $375 visit was told if I want to upgrade my implants it be over 12,000 $14,000 I already have a s stews in my head. And now two days later it cracked by my front tooth. So I do believe that man because I was told they should last a lifetime. I understand with $20,000. If you have the screws in your head a new arch should not be $ 12,000.00 $14,000.00. I’d like to find out what the tool for the screws are so I can bring it to my dentist and have them make my own dental implant Prosthetic. So I would not recommend Clear Choice. I never got a blue box with my mold either of my teeth
Just wait. You will see when your teeth start going bad.
