Hello Dr. Hall,<\/p>\n
I called and made an appointment at Clear Choice in Vienna, Virginia,\u00a0in September of last year after viewing a TV commercial about the concept of \u00a0“having teeth in a day”. Upon my arrival, they provided a group of us with a very impressive presentation. After hearing their speech, I was a tad bit hesitant in what they were offering versus the dental work I felt that I needed. I have an upper partial and 2 dental bridge and I was looking forward to replacing with implants. Also, my four front teeth were in perfect heath and only needed either veneering or bonding. The sales person tried to talk me into pulling all of my teeth, and then he tried to convince me of investing into other expensive options – all of which was not the right option for me. In the end, he gave me the plan that I initially requested and then asked for a $1K down payment. The total cost came to $17K. I provided the down payment but I didn’t want to get the dental work done until 2010. Here it is, April of 2010 and I’m hesitant to go back. I don’t feel comfortable, in fact, I feel as if I made the wrong decision about going to Clear Choice and now I’m in search of a second opinion.<\/p>\n
Thanks so much for creating this website. I only wish that I had found it much sooner!!<\/p>\n

Dear Mona,
\nThanks for your comments.
\nYes, be very suspicious of Clear Choice. Everyone I have ever heard from has received the exact same treatment plan – extract all the remaining teeth and do All-On-Four dental implants. Sounds like they tried the same with you. Good for you to stick to your guns and insist on saving teeth you knew were fine. Most patients aren’t that strong-minded.
\nEven though they gave in to your request, I personally would not trust their treatment plan. So get a second opinion.<\/p>\n
