Hello all, I'm having my Clear Choice surgery on...
WORTH IT$46,000
Hello all, I'm having my Clear Choice surgery on November 30th. Originally I balked at the cost, I had read it compares to purchasing a luxury car, but still didn't expect that!
I'm feeling frightened, reading reviews here I see I signed on for something I'm not prepared for. Yes, the staff explained things to me, but don't "emphasize" the after effects of this surgery. Reading here, someone finally having feeling return to their lips months afterwards? That's scary!
Also, I'm a mailman and the timing couldn't be worse, the holliday season. My job reluctantly gave me six days off (day 1 being the surgery day), but sounds like I won't be able to work the 14 hr days ahead, ugh!
I've always had dental pain to a lesser or greater degree, usually worse in the cold months. Now that my remaining teeth will be yanked in less then two weeks, they absurdly feel just fine. If Clear Choice were to offer me my money back right now, I'd take it as I feel my life can't handle the disruption this will cause for a long time. But like the saying, in for a penny, in for a pound.

Day of treatment
Surgery Day!
I made it through! As someone with a very sensitive mouth who dreads any dental procedures, I survived! It was quite grueling, but the Denver Clear Choice staff did their utmost to make me as comfortable as possible. First was the removal of remaining teeth and implant placing. Then I was taken back to my recovery room. Then back in to have more molds taken for my temp implants. Then after some hours, the new implants were installed. This was followed by many bite tests and adjustments. This pic is me an hour ago, the swelling has gone down quite a bit, and the temp implants also act as a cover to the surgical area. I'm very pleased with how they look!

I have had 7 implants so far all by different dentists, and no pain to speak of on any. All I see is Clear Choice is a Hugh rip off in cost, but I feel the same for most of them. If you shop around, you can probably save 50% or a lot more. Dentists have made this seem like such a specialty when it is easy money for them. Not just easy but like stealing money from a kid. Not that I would fly to another country, but I am in the DC area and never paid more than 2000.00 for a complete implant, abutment with the crown. I doubt they spend more than 600.00 on the system and crown. What a rip off

I’m being quoted $4400 just to have 2 implants placed and then another $4900 for the abutments and 3 teeth (one implant will hold 2 teeth). This seems way more expensive to me than what I’m reading that others paid. I was told the difference in cost is that these are larger implants, as opposed to mini-implants, that are meant to last the rest of my life (I’m 56). I had a bit of bone grafting done after the teeth were pulled to make sure I had a good solid foundation of bone. Not sure what to make of this. Do you mind sharing specifics of what you had done?

Based on the fact I have gotten 8 to 10 implants now, I think I can speak with certain that you made it sound like an implant is a big deal. Besides that, I lived next to a dentist and been working with a Maxillofacialfacial surgeon but in a different field. So I have consulted with him about this.

...And a house is probably $20,000 tops if you're just paying for the materials lol. I did shop around, and the local places have many more appointments, have to contract out for everything to be made, and only do upper or lower one at a time. And were going to give me rubber falsies while they waited to receive the contracted out "parts"....screw that. It's been a couple of years now, and these CC teeth haven't had any problems at all. I haven't even been back to CC since these were finalized. What seemed like a horrid amount of money when I started seems pretty good now! And btw look at car prices nowadays online! Living pain free has been worth it to me.

How much may I ask did they cost?? I am looking at full dentures for now and CC when I have the financial means to make the jump! Obviously I would prefer the CC but Affordable Dental offers and Ultra Max Flexible denture which is much thinner and lightweight then regular dentures.....

Day 3 after surgery
I'm quite swollen, but bleeding has stopped and the pain isn't unbearable. I've developed a bullfrog looking double chin. I called the clinic and they said this is part of the swelling.
I went to a mall yesterday with my daughter, but became very exhausted and felt painfully achey rather quickly. So no more outings like that until this heals a lot more. All in all, the post surgery isn't as terrible as I expected. Side note: my mouth, which tasted stinky to me in one area where I had a bridge for years, isn't like that anymore!

To usmcwife1, I had my all on 4 done at ClearChoice Walnut Creek, CA on 8-16 they were awesome the service and patient care is excellent. The procedure itself was painless and I don't remember it. Once I was awakened my pain level at its worse was about a number 3 but the pain medication took care of that. One thing I will say is to have your pain medication filled before your surgery because your gonna need it. Don't be afraid your in good hands with ClearChoice. I wish you the best and look forward to reading about your progress and seeing pictures of your old and new smile.

Usmcwife1, I'm not sure if I understand your question. But the temporary or permanent teeth can only be removed by the doctor.

Had my 10 day follow-up yesterday. It went well, and I received the Clear Choice water pik. it's a good thing to have! Also, I'm back at work with USPS. I still have some minor soreness, but overall I feel improvement every day. 14 hour days delivering mail doesn't help!

It's perfectly natural to be nervous. Honestly, it'd be weirder not to be! :) Have you reached out to the clinic with your concerns? They may be able to give you some insight into what you can expect from recovery.
All the best today! Let us know how it goes. :)
Oh good! ;)
