Finally received the perms
WORTH IT$44,000
It's been 10 1/2 months since my original procedure. I'm so happy with the outcome. I smile just about all of the time. The improvement in my quality of life cannot be measured. Everyone at Clear Choice in Dallas from the Doctors to the ones making appointments were incredible. If you are still in the decision making process I highly recommend them. If it is worth the money to you then you not be disappointing. They'll take great care of you.

It's been a little over a month
It's been a little over a month. I can tell the bone is adhering to the implants. At first, if I ran my tongue over one of the posts I could feel a cold sensation around the post. That's gone. If I moved my tongue to the far back of the arch I could feel it pulling around the posts. That's gone. My gums were pretty tender for quite a while. Flossing was difficult and a bit painful. Sometimes I couldn't get the floss to go through all 5 sections of the arch. Now it's much quicker, not as painful and I can get it to go through all 5 sections every try.
People are still asking if I colored or cut my hair because something is different. 3 days ago I was in a restaurant/bar with several friends. A total stranger told me that my smile was contagious. I haven't heard that in 25 years.
Next appointment is Oct 29 to have the upper posts uncovered. Then Nov 12 to have the upper arch attached. Then wait another 4 months on the perms.

That's so funny, how people think it's your hair! I've heard a bunch of people say that, even in other communities (like Tummy Tucks and Lipo) and even some people who want to hide having gotten procedures who change their hair at the same time! That to hear that things are improving all the time! :)
i also got mine done thru clearchoice, i paid 40,000 for full mouth extraction and all four implants. is been over three mouth and it feels great and all the pain have gone. i will go back in dec to get more gum impression.i think they will make my permanent bridge by feb. i was just wondering if any of you guys are deducting part of the cost on your 2013 tax return?thanks
I had no idea it was even possible to deduct any of the cost.
You can deduct all the cost as a medical expense; of course you should clear with your accountant, but I deducted a cosmetic procedure without any issue.
thanks
thanks

I don't even know where to start. All the swelling and discomfort is gone. The healing is well under way. I can't find enough great things to say about Clear Choice. I get excited to go to the dentist. (I can't believe that thought ever entered my mind). I didn't realize just how inhibited I had become. I'm making eye contact and smiling at strangers in the grocery store. I've had acquaintances say "What's different about you?" "Did you color your hair?" "You look 10 years younger". This is truly a life altering event. I thank God every day for giving me the means, strength and the courage to go through with this. The quality of my life was up to me. The healing that's going on in my mouth is nothing compared to the healing that's going on in my soul.

Has anyone considered dental tourism? My cousin had 4 implants done in Colombia at Elite Dental and he is incredibly happy. It was only $12,000. They took care of accommodation and he not only had the All on 4 done in one day but also enjoyed a holiday in South America.
Happy to forward their details if anyone is interested. I have heard some horror stories from people picking the wrong clinic and these guys were pretty amazing.
I had 4 implants, 4 root canals, bone graft, sinus lift, and 14 crowns replaced. Would have cost me 45K in the US, but got it all for 16K in Costa Rica and Dr. Meza is the best dentist I have ever had. State of the art clinic and highly trained staff. Dr. Meza is UCLA trained and has 2 US program accreditations. Also went to Manuel Antonio and fishing in Quepos, so had a great time too!
I wanted so badly to to this. I have 10 teeth missing and 6 crowns on existing. None of the missing teeth are visible but my fear is I will only have to repair and replace crowns in the future. Surgeon said I have too many good teeth to pull them. So I'm about to begin a $15,000 journey to have a broken tooth cut out and implant inserted, a sinus lift, and bone graft. In four months another implant. During the 4 month bone graft healing I will have 2 bridges to replace additional missing teeth. Fun times ahead for me. So happy to hear your procedures have gone well!
