I am a senior and money is tight and certainly do not want to waste it if this is not an above board ethical agency. Please advise.<br \/>\n&#8211; Maggie from Kansas<\/p>\n<p>Maggie,<br \/>\nI cannot categorically say that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/dental-implant\/clear-choice.htm\">Clear Choice dental implants\u00a0centers<\/a> are unethical. But I can say that I am highly suspicious. Every center is different. I am sure that they must have some good people in their organization. But from what I hear, there is a heavy emphasis on marketing and salesmanship throughout the organization, and whenever these are mixed with dentistry, the potential for poor choices and unprofessional treatment is strong. With all the e-mails I have received from patients who have visited Clear Choice, it bothers me that in every case it was recommended that all the teeth be extracted, and in every case, they wanted to do this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mynewsmile.com\/dental-implant\/all-on-four.htm\">All-on-Four<\/a> procedure.<\/p>\n<p>I do strongly recommend that anyone who gets a treatment plan from a Clear Choice center get a second opinion. I personally would not trust a treatment plan that they had drawn up.<\/p>\n<p>My suggestion to you would be to find a dentist near you with some credentials in implant dentistry. Don&#8217;t go first to the surgeon &#8211; go to a restorative dentist &#8211; either a general dentist or a prosthodontist. Find one who has\u00a0worked with\u00a0dental implants for a number of years. Look for membership or fellowship in the International College of Oral Implantologists, the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, or another reputable dental implants organization.<br \/>\n&#8211; Dr. Hall<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Hall, I had every intent to attend a seminar here locally to learn about Clear Choice, but I\u00a0now hesitate to even consider this procedure after the red flag in your notice of consumer complaints.
