About ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers

ClearChoice was founded on the principle that there had to be a better way to perform dental implant procedures. We perform more dental implant procedures every year than any other facility or network because of our innovative approach to treating patients. That level of experience has given thousands of patients the confidence to take that first step towards a better smile. Our team of doctors and specialists work together to deliver excellent treatment to our patients. We believe that when the doctor speaks directly with the oral surgeon and the lab technician, face-to-face, our team is able... to deliver a better patient experience. Every ClearChoice doctor goes through a rigorous screening process to make sure that they will uphold our strict standards of quality. We look for doctors with experience and excellence in treating their patients. We believe that our dedicated team of professionals, with a specific focus on just dental implants, is a key strength of the ClearChoice Dental Implant centers. Before ClearChoice, it was difficult to know the full price of dental implant procedures. Different specialists had different fees that would add up at each stage in the process. Since our doctors, technicians, and labs are all on site, we are able to give a single price for the entire procedure from start to finish. There are no surprise fees and no hidden costs. After your consultation, you will know exactly what it will cost to complete your dental implant treatment. Traditionally, dental implants require several visits to specialists in several locations, and the teeth are created at an off-site lab and shipped to the office. If any adjustments needed to be made, the teeth would need to be shipped back to the lab. At ClearChoice, we have combined all of the necessary elements for successful dental implant treatment in a single location. Your consultation, lab work, creation of your teeth, the procedure and recovery are all housed in a single center. More
