WORTH IT$40,000
My procedure was done on June 5th, 2018 at Clear Choice in Columbia, Maryland. I had all my teeth pulled on top and bottom and received a full set of upper and lower all-in-four implants. Before deciding to go with Clear Choice I met with Heather Carter. She is so sweet and tries to answer all of your questions and do anything she can for you. She really is the one that comvinced me to go along with Clear Choice....Everything on the day of surgery went really well. Everyone was extremely nice. I did have one nurse after surgery that was very rude, unfriendly, and uncompassionate. My day would have been perfect if it wasn't for her. But everyone else was super nice and so caring to your needs. They had a nice room for you to recover in and for your loved one to stay during your surgery. The surgeon did an amazing job. I am currently on day 3. Day 1 and day 2 wasn't too bad. The 1st day my whole face was numb and swollen and my mouth was still bleeding. I had no pain but i was just uncomfortable because of all that and the fact that i couldn't talk. Day 2 the numbing went away which helped a lot and I finally could speak. But i was still really swollen. Day 3 i woke up and my face was 3 times more swollen than it was on day 2. It was awful. It looks like i may have a black eye tomorrow. I also think i look like a fat faced chipmunk which really isn't cute...lol. I had to leave out the house once but wore a germ mask to cover my face so not to scare anyone. But all 3 days so far not any major pain at all. Barely none. Which is amazing! So, tomorrow will be day 4 and i hope that the swelling will have subsided some. Fingers crossed!! I will try and make an update throughout the next few days. I do feel like my teeth aren't like i imagined them to be. I'm not sure if its just cuz i can't tell yet because of the swelling but to me the size or shape isn't right. I also would like them a little whiter. I'm hoping i can have that changed before my permanents are placed. Well, thats my experience thus far. As of right now i highly recommend Clear Choice Columbia, Md. But i will continue to update my experience and review.

Day 4-7 Post-op
Day 4 my face was really swollen but not much pain. Day 5 my face is still swollen but this time its only real swollen on my left side of my face. My right side is almost 100% better.. on day 5 i also started to have this nasty taste in my mouth. I first i thought it was blood but i looked and i didn't see any blood in my mouth so i don't know what it could be. It also kinda feels like there's air pressure in the roof of my mouth and behind my nose on the left side. . Day 6.still same thing. Still nasty taste and weird pressure. my left side is still a little swollen and i still have some pain on and off throughout the day and an occassional headache. Day 7 is pretty much the same as day 6. I'm hoping that everything is ok. I thought by day 7 the swelling and pain would be gone. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better. Has anyone else experienced a nasty taste in their mouth or weird air pressure on top of mouth and through the nasal passage?

Maybe it is just something caught up in the temps? Are you using the waterpik much?
I found that I could also rush water into my mouth from the shower and clean it out real good. I used a lot of salt water rinses the first month, too.
I cant recall when I started using the waterpik, but once I started, I used it 5-10 times a day, lol.

I think they will be giving me the waterpik on my 2 week post-op appointment. I've just been brushing a lot and using the mouthwash they gave me a lot. I'll try the shower thing as you suggested and see if that helps.

Day 8-9 Post-op
Day 8-9 was such an improvement!!! The swelling is pretty much gone now!! I'm not really feeling that pressure anymore but still a liitle bit of the nasty taste in my mouth. I am having problems with my mouth clenching. Its really annoying and gives me really bad headaches. Anyone else had this issue? Hope it doesn't last forever!!

My mother-in-law had the surgery done last week. She says there is a plastic plate on the roof of her mouth. I watched them put the implant in and didn't see anything that resembled that. Did you have that feeling when you first got them?
