How much are clear choice full mouth dental implants

I need some help and advice. Several years ago I allowed a dentist to talk me into removing all of my teeth even though I know at least twelve of them were salvageable. The worse decision of my life. He wanted to do dentures. I was worried about that in the long term but he assured me it was better to start out with dentures and then I could add the implants later if I had trouble with them.  Well, I have hated them since day one, but he doesn’t do the implants he said I could get later. So, I went to Clear Choice Dental Implant Centers. At first, they said the all-on-4 procedure would be $62,000. Then, when they learned my husband was a retired vet, they lowered it to $54,000. That seems so arbitrary to me. If they can lower it that quickly by almost $10,000 is that the right price?  It still seems expensive to me. After making the previous mistake, I don’t want to make another one. Is this the right way to go?

Dear Margaret,

So one of the things I notice right away is that Clear Choice Dental Implant Centers are pricing for someone who is getting bone grafting and then implant overdentures, but giving you the all-on-4 procedure. This increases their profit margin significantly, without giving you the quality and safety you would get with implant overdentures. With the all-on-4 procedure, which has helped many people who could not go the better route, if one implant fixture fails, the entire unit has to be replaced.

My suggestion is you call around to some exceptional implants dentists in your area and see what they would charge you for implant overdentures. if you have only been in dentures for a few years, you may not even need bone grafting. When you do the diagnostics you need for your ANY dental implant procedure, your dentist could tell you whether or not you have enough bone structure.

Who Should Do Your Dental Implants?

One of the things you need to know is that dental implants are not really taught in dental school. This means if a dentist wants to know how to do it well, they will have to invest in post-doctoral training. Because it is such an advanced procedure, you want to make sure your dentist has a LOT of training in this. There are countless stories of dental implant horror stories. Your best bet is to get a dentist who is a fellow with the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. They have proven training and skill.

Though not completely necessary, another thing to look for is whether the dentist does the implant surgery himself or farms you out to an oral surgeon. Ideally, the dentist can do the surgery himself. This cuts down risk as there will not be any miscommunication between the dentist and the surgeon on placement. What IS absolutely necessary is that it is the dentist who determines the placement, not the surgeon.

Clear Choice implants, like traditional implants, can entail a very long process before you see results, and this is far from ideal if you need fast and effective results. Additionally, if you do not have enough natural jawbone to support dental implants without getting a bone augmentation procedure done, Clear Choice is not an option for you. 

Even more, this type of implant has pricing very similar to that of traditional implants, costing up to $6,000 for just one implant, or around $40,000 for a full mouth of dental implants. This method of tooth replacement comes at a high cost, and the fact that it is not an option for many people because of the exclusion of bone grafting procedures makes it less than ideal for most patients. 

If you have decided that Clear Choice is not the best option for you, there are still plenty of alternatives for you to take into consideration. With several different types of implants to consider, you are not limited to only one option. However, conventional methods of placing dental implants can be very expensive, which makes them unrealistic for many people. Plus, many dental implant procedures run the risk of leaving you without aunty functioning teeth at certain stages of the process. 

If you are looking for fast and amazing results at low, affordable prices, Stabili-Teeth™ is your ticket to a beautiful, functional smile. 

Alternatives to Clear Choice: Different Types of Implants

There are a few different types of dental implants that you can choose from, and understanding the basis about each option can help you make the best and most informed decision. 

Because Clear Choice is a type of full arch fixed detachable solution, learning about your other dental implant options can help you find similar results with less of a hassle. 

There are two main categories of implants within which other types of dental implants exist:

• Endosteal implants, which are the traditional form of implant that gets surgically placed into your jawbone. These implants are typically made of titanium and are shaped like small screws. Endosteal implants are the most commonly used type of implant. 

• Subperiosteal implants, which are implants that get surgically placed below your gum line and either on or above the jawbone. This type of implant may be a better option for patients who do not naturally have sufficient jawbone to support endosteal implants, but who do not wish to undergo a bone augmentation procedure to add onto the jawbone because of cost or other reasons. However, several different types of procedures exist that can add on to your natural bone, so subperiosteal implants are much less common.

Aside from these very conventional dental implant methods, there are also a few alternative dental implant procedures that you should be aware of. These include:

• Immediate load dental implants: Immediate load dental implants are sometimes also called same day dental implants, and this type of implant allows a temporary replacement tooth to be placed into your mouth during the same appointment as your dental implant placement. Typically, replacement teeth are not placed until your mouth heals from the dental implant procedure. If you have enough natural bone to support implants, this may be an available option for you. However, immediate load dental implants tend to be more expensive than other options.

• Mini dental implants: Mini dental implants are also commonly referred to as narrow-diameter implants, and these implants are toothpick-sized, making them smaller than conventional implants. Because of this, mini dental implants can be placed using less invasive techniques, and their primary usage in dentistry is to help support a lower denture. Mini dental implants can be beneficial because of the fact that they entail an easier surgery.

• All-on-4 implants: The implant procedure referred to as All-on-4 entails the placement of four dental implants that are placed into your jawbone. Temporary teeth can be placed the same day, and your permanent replacement teeth can then be placed about 6 months following the placement of your initial teeth. You will need to follow a modified diet during these 6 months. This method is not ideal if you want your final prosthetic teeth to be placed more quickly, and it can also be costly. 

Understanding the Dental Implant Process

Regardless of which type of dental implant you decide to pursue, it is important for you to know what to expect because any dental implant procedure can be somewhat complicated. 

The process typically begins with a comprehensive dental exam so that the current state of your teeth can be evaluated, and your dentist will also review your medical history. Depending on your individual situation and needs, your dentist will talk about your personalized treatment plan to help you get a better idea of the different steps involved in the process. 

If your damaged teeth are still in your mouth, they will be extracted, and your jawbone will be prepared if necessary. Following this, your dental implants will be placed, and you will be given a period of healing time before the abutments and final teeth are placed. 

Conventional dental implant procedures can take months to reach completion because of the healing time, and you may be left without functional teeth during this healing period.

Dental Implant Costs: What To Expect

Even though there are some alternatives to Clear Choice implants, these conventional options still are not much better in terms of price, and there are many different factors that can impact how much your implant procedure will cost in total. 

These factors include:

• Dental anesthesia

• Bone grafting or sinus lifting procedures

• X-rays

• Tooth extraction

• The location of the teeth that you need replaced, such as the front or back of the mouth and the top or bottom arch of your mouth

• The number of dental implants you need placed

If you are looking to get a full mouth of dental implants, the cost can range from $21,000 to $40,000, and just one single implant to replace one tooth averages at about $4,800. 

The price for one single dental implant can range from $3,500 to $6,700. 

Obviously, these costs are not realistic for many patients, and it can be discouraging to learn that a tooth replacement method with superior results can cost so much. 

However, you aren’t out of options — Stabili-Teeth™ is a new alternative to Clear Choice, and it’s actually affordable. 

Stabili-Teeth™ was created as an alternative to the traditional dentures and fixed detachables (as in Clear Choice or All-on-Four) because although dentures have their downfalls, they have been proven to work marginally, and while fixed detachables work great, the cost remains very high. 

Stabili-Teeth™ builds off of the concepts that have been successful, and improves upon the aspects of a denture that have failed in the past.

Stabili-Teeth™ itself is not a denture. Instead, this tooth replacement protocol incorporates the use of a unique combination of both conventional implants and narrow-diameter implants. 

The use of narrow-diameter implants means that Stabili-Teeth™ is an easier surgery than the traditional implant protocol, and an easier healing process. 

Even more, with Stabili-Teeth™, you get same-day results, meaning you leave the office on your day of surgery with a full set of stabilized, prosthetic teeth, and then your final set of teeth will be placed once your mouth is done healing. 

Stabili-Teeth™ also comes at an all-inclusive price of $12,500 for one arch or $21,500 for full-mouth restoration, and these prices include any necessary bone augmentation procedures.

The Bottom Line

Clear Choice implants are one of many different dental implant procedures, but if you have determined that this dental implant protocol is not the right choice for you, there are still some other alternatives. Alternatives include All-on-4 dental implants, immediate load implants, and mini dental implants, and all of these options can vary in terms of results and cost. 

Clear Choice implants can cost up to $40,000, which is unrealistic for many patients. There are several factors influencing cost, including the number of implants you need, whether or not you need bone augmentation procedures, and the location of the teeth that you need to have replaced. 

If conventional dental implant options are not the right fit for your needs (and trust us, they usually aren’t), Stabili-Teeth™ is the solution for you with same-day results at a lower cost.
