I went to Clear Choice for implants because they provide IV sedation but I found that they weren't going to allow so much as an oral sedative for me. After a high pressured sales session and promises that the procedure was not so bad, I stupidly put down $1,000. It was only then that they said it was surgery, and I agreed to be awake for it. I did find a Clear Choice location that would provide me with sedation, but it was over 100 miles from my home. Then, the Thursday before Christmas, my doctor called and told me that I needed major surgery. I had to cancel the dental implant surgery, and even though it was canceled, I still can't get my money back, and the lender Clear Choice Dental uses continued to demand payments for the implants or my credit rating would be ruined. (Your payments start before surgery. Don't do it!) Clear Choice was Clearly a BIG MISTAKE!

$30,000 paid, 3 years ago for full replacement. 6 broken, this is a nightmare. The pain I’m experiencing now is worse than any pain I had before. Don’t do it.

I contacted my local ClearChoice. They tell me they do not accept dental insurance of any kind. They would be happy to help with credit. I feel this company in partnership with the credit card company. And after reading the negative reviews, I would not go there.

My husband went to ClearChoice in Creve Ceour, Missouri, six years ago for a complete set of implanted teeth, upper and lower, and had a very satisfactory experience. When my teeth started causing problems, I thought that would be the way to go for me, too. I learned that the different ClearChoice offices are franchised and, although the product is the same, the service may vary within each franchise. This was certainly the case at Creve Ceour. There was a completely different staff for my experience than that my husband had. During the initial visit, the “sales rep” consulted with the doctor to determine if my case qualified for the procedure. I believe now that they were checking my credit rating, not the condition of my mouth. The cost had increased $15,000 in the five years since my husband’s procedure, with the explanation that they used better quality material now. Payment in full had to be made before they would schedule my next appointment. After my husband had his teeth extracted and the temporary plate was inserted, he had very little problems or swelling. I, on the other hand, had swelling and bruising from my eyes to my chest for two weeks. After a few weeks, a portion of the lower plate broke off, exposing sharp edges that cut into my cheek and tongue. When I tried to get it repaired, I was told they didn’t have time to squeeze me in for at least a week. Even though I was at the office, no one would see me and a security guard was called to escort me out. The repair, when it did happen, took about ten minutes, and involved merely melting the edge and smoothing it. The next set, the prototype set, was a complete mess. The upper and lower plates didn’t fit together, but Dr. Ostrand, who checked the fit, merely said he would change things on the computer and did nothing to adjust the fit in my mouth. I had to live with the poorly fitting teeth for three weeks. This set also broke in exactly the same place as the previous set had broken. When I was finally given my PERMANENT set of teeth, I mentioned that they didn’t fit, and that the upper plate was tight. I was told that would adjust itself or that the doctor would adjust it at the follow-up visit. I was also given a six months appointment along with a bag containing my temporary plates and told to be sure to bring the bag along for the next appointment. At that appointment we were informed that Dr. Ostrand was no longer at that office. After this visit, where Dr. Pinkston, who quickly adjusted my plate to relieve the tightness, and a new tech, who did not seem competent, taking 45 minutes to remove my plates, I was informed that I owed $350 because it was a cleaning and repair visit, not a follow-up visit. Oddly, we had been informed earlier that this office no longer did cleaning or repairing of existing plates. When I protested the fee, saying that I had not been informed that there was an additional charge for this visit, the same security guard was called to escort me out. I was then sent a letter from Dr. Daniel Pinkston informing me that I would no longer receive service at that office. My teeth still do not fit well, even after the adjustment and we were given names of other dental offices to have the plates cleaned. The upper and lower plates do not fit together well, causing me to occasionally bite my lip and cheek. The material that was used to cover the holes for the screws fell out a few days after the last appointment, and my tongue navigates to those holes, which have sharp edges. A visit to another office should be covered by the Creve Ceour office, which charged an exorbitant amount of $50,000 (a discounted price because my husband had been a patient) for my procedure. A copy of this review will be sent to headquarters in Colorado, Clearchoice Reviews, and Google Reviews.

I've checked clear choice out and they are just a bunch of con men. Once you go in for the " free" consultation they ask you to put some money down to secure a spot, Dont do this because you will never see the money again. All a sudden they start having fees and then you have to speak with a dentist to get a small portion back. Horrible experience

Please do not go to Clear Choice off Cypress Creek road in Ft. Lauderdale. My mother had a horrifying experience there. Tremendous pain, bleeding and discomfort. The doctor was extremely rude and selfish. He owns the office in Palm Beach as well. They have no headquarters to complain. I had to go to visits with her just so she wouldn’t feel mistreated and held down during certain procedures. I complete disaster and nightmarish experience. I wrote this review as a track record so others will know. The owner/ doctor (Dr. A) is TERRIBLE. This is my opinion and sharing with others

DO NOT DO CLEARCHOICE!!! The basis of this review if from the horrible experience my father had with the terrible company. He was lured in by the FALSE promise of new teeth in one day. He knew that this wasn't exactly one day... what he didn't know was how he would spend YEARS of his life in horrible teeth pain he lost tons of weight in the process from being unable to eat. He had monthly or bi month appointments of grinding down bone, adjustments and tons of horrible painful procedures. He 100% regretted this. Also to make things worse he developed mouth cancer in this time and was not notified by these dentists, when it was made obvious to his in hindsight that they would whisper things of this nature behind his back. They only notified him of the sores they saw when it was too late. Horrible medical malpractice and absolutely FALSE advertising. Do not fall for this! Do not do this!

Dr. Sandra Scibetta agreed to see me the other day to see why the implant I received from the Long Island City Clear Choice was causing me pain. On a scale of 1-10 the pain was 10. The Long Island City office was closed for the entire week and would not bring an on call doctor in so after spending 24 hours of constantly calling their answering service and talking to Dr. Athar, an assistant Josie and the manager, Marcus they all were completely uncooperative and did nothing to help except arrange for Dr. Scibetta to see me in Brooklyn. She had an x-ray taken and proceeded to gaslight me into thinking it looked fine. (She needs to add gaslighting to her bio as should all the employees of this scam operation). Still in pain and waiting to see the "on call" Dr. Athar on Monday. I'm literally frightened to experience more damage from this poor excuse of dental center however Dr. Athar did see me on a day this center was closed to repair the tooth that Dr. Srour chipped while he implanted the screw part, so I'll trepidatiously see if she can help. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this scam operation if you value your health.
