WORTH IT$44,000
I can already tell this was absolutely the right decision. My wisdom teeth came in when I was 21. I didn't have enough room in my mouth for them. Also didn't have dental insurance or the money to have them pulled. They ended up coming in and cracking almost every tooth in my head. I've spent over 35 years dealing with broken, abscessed & missing teeth. In 2006 my front tooth broke all the way down to the gum. The last 8 years have been spent trying to hide this. On 4/23 /14 I had to have 2 abscessed teeth pulled. The oral surgeon wanted to insert 2 implants. The cost was going to be over $5,000.00. This was all the incentive I needed to have an entire mouth makeover.
Had my consultation on 4/30/14. Procedure scheduled for 4/16/14. The was the second LONGEST 6 weeks of my life. The longest was 6 weeks before my daughter was born.
The lower procedure went flawlessly. It already feels like my own teeth. There were complications with the upper. The bone was too soft for Dr. Ross to be able to attach the temporary arch. They inserted the implants and made a denture. I'll wear the denture for 4 months. When I go back for my 10 day followup they'll fit me with another top denture made to fit after the swelling goes down. I'll go back in 4 months. Then I'll get the permanent lower arch and the temporary upper arch. By then then implants will have taken hold enough to allow for the upper arch. In another 4 months I'll get the permanent upper arch. The all inclusive price covered the change in plans.
As of today, I could not be happier with my decision to have this done and my decision to use Clear Choice. I'm an outgoing, happy and optimistic person. The smile part of my personality has been missing for a long time. I can't wait to walk through the rest of my like as a whole, complete person.

This seems to be my exact problem. My wisdom teeth were impacted--I assumed they just never came in. I also needed, but never got, braces. Now my canines are very close to coming out and other teeth are cracking and failing. Thanks for describing your problem and procedure in such detail. Good luck and keep smiling! I wish I had a Clear Choice nearby.

Well you done have a right thing by going for implantation, as unwanted tooths needs to be removed at earlest, to avoid any type of complication occuring. Also through through implantation you can get your smile & confidence back.

I have the same issue going on. I have two teeth that are hurting pretty badly one each side of my mouth (worse than my unmedicated childbirth). The dentist wanted to try to give me a root canal (which i do not want) and pull the other then replace with a bridge. I've decided I would rather pull both and replace. Is 5000 the average price to do this? I've had braces and my teeth look really good otherwise, so I don't think I want to replace them all. Is the pain really bad afterwards?

Actually I'd call it discomfort not pain. Getting the stitches out from under the temporaries on the bottom was weird. Granted they would dissolve but in many places there were pretty good size knots where they had to tie them off.
I wonder if you could answer a few of mine? Like, what exactly was the procedure on the lower arch? Did they pull your teeth first, then insert implants and attach a metal arch or something? All of that stuff would be great to know.
As for the upper arch, just for clarification, did they pull all the teeth, then insert the implants, then just make a regular removable denture to wear? And are the implants way down in your gums so they don't touch the denture?
And how does your smile look now in the meantime? Are you willing to post a pic of just your mouth?
