Yesterday I visited the Clear Choice dental implants center in Washington DC. The concern I had at my appointment is that they want to extract all of my remaining upper teeth. Which I have a perfectly fine upper bridge and already have 2 implants placed by a previous dentist so all I felt I really needed was maybe two implants and the crowns to cover my missing teeth (which is 7 total upper, however, I do wear a partial). So basically I feel I’m just throwing money down the drain by having them to remove my bridge which cost me over 3 grand and my two implants that cost me 4 grand. Also they were in a rush to book the surgery which also aroused further suspicion. I just have a big problem with the only solution being to extract all of my teeth. My whole purpose for going was to find the best treatment option for me, however, they were looking for the easiest treatment option. So I did pay 1000 dollars yesterday for my next appointment, but I’m really considering a different route.

Charlene,
All of these e-mails I get from prospective Clear Choice Dental Implants Centers patients tells the same story – they want to extract all the remaining teeth, and everyone who has told me their treatment plan said that Clear Choice wanted to do all-on-four dental implants. And there has usually been some sales pressure to get this done. A patient in Dallas said they gave her options and she didn’t report any sales pressure, but they still recommended extracting all the remaining teeth and do all-on-four.
It’s sounding to me like Clear Choice is more of a marketing organization than a health care provider. I would recommend getting a second opinion.
