Thats what it means to smile healthy, to smile freely. Hi, im shari smith. In the next halfhour, were going to explore the importance of good dental health, how you can break free from problems like gum disease, and confidently turn your smile loose on the world. And well tell you about the people who are leading americas smile freedom movement, putting healthier smiles on faces all over the map. Welcome to smile Healthy America, implant centers. Im here with dr. Mark adams, a prosthodontist in denver, colorado. Dr. Adams, lets start by asking, where are Clearchoice Dental Implant Centers, and what makes them so unique . Shari, we have 30 centers throughout the united states. Were all the way from the east coast to the west coast. We go deep into texas. Were in the midwest. We have centers all over the u. S. I think what makes us special are several items. One is our doctor network. We have over 60 specialists oral surgeons and prosthodontists that have a unique and very experienced knowledge base. This is all we do, is place implants. That gives us a lot of experience in the area of dental implants. We treat the very simple cases. We treat the very complex situations, as well. Secondly, were unlike regular dental offices in that we have everyone in one location. We have all the specialties, so actual restorative, as well. We have our own Onsite Dental laboratory where we can actually make the teeth. Thats a very unique set of circumstances. And lastly, i think the thing that really makes us special is the fact that we have a dedicated Employee Base that has committed themselves and has the passion to change peoples lives. I think, at the end of the day, thats what makes us so special our passion for changing peoples lives. Well, in my research, ive learned that clearchoice believes taking control of your dental health is essential to living a healthier life. And being able to smile openly that. So, tell us how you arrived at your sense of mission in your smilefreedom movement. It really hit me when i started treating these types of patients and found that, you know, we take the smile, we take our teeth for granted. We laugh with our friends. We go out and we have dinner. We choose anything we want on the menu. Its easy to take that for granted. And yet, when youve lost that, it has a devastating effect on your life. The sense of mission it brought me, was that when you give that back to someone, when you help them get that smile and their confidence back, weve released the Human Potential in those people, and thats very gratifying. Dr. Adams, tell us about the kind of patients that you see every day. What are some of the common dental problems that they face . Well, we see patients who have lost all of their teeth, to patients that i would call dental refugees. Theyve had a lifetime of dental problems problems with all types of gum disease, cavities, missing teeth. The founder of the modernday implants said, very famously, no one should die with their teeth in a glass on the side of the bed at night. These patients truly are dental of problems. Theyve lost their first set of teeth, which were their baby teeth. Theyre on the verge, or they have lost, their adult teeth. Theyre looking for an answer. And now, with the predictability of implants, we can provide them with a third dentition which is stable and predictable. Thank you, dr. Adams. Well be right back to tell you just how clearchoice is helping restore dental health and setting smiles free, right after this. You have to have confidence on this job. Anything that takes away from that puts you at risk. I get compliments all the time. Oh, my god, i cant believe how beautiful your teeth are. My selfconfidence has gone up. The smile is one of the first things that people see. I mean, i used to always smile, i would keep my lips on my teeth. My dental problems started years ago with fillings and root canals. And i was looking at, at some point, my teeth falling out. I had to do something. Clearchoice didnt just give me new teeth. They set me free to be who i want to be. Announcer join the thousands who have already set their smiles free at clearchoice. Call or click to schedule your free consultation with our team of experts. It was a oneday process. I would walk out with a smile the same day. The lab, the surgery, any work that you need done, its all they not only helped to rebuild my smile but helped me to rebuild my selfconfidence. They really set me free. I mean, look at this smile. Announcer dont wait another day. Call clearchoice now. It is an amazing transformation that happens in one day. Patient comes in with bad teeth or no teeth, and they leave that day with a brandnew smile.

Clearchoice is special because we have the cuttingedge technology, multiple specialists, and the lab, all in one center. At the end of the day, when the patient looks at the mirror and realizes that their life has changed forever, its very gratifying to know that i was part of a team to make that happen for them. Im dr. Ali kanawati, the prosthodontist at the clearchoice cleveland center. Announcer at clearchoice, youre about to discover what youve been missing all these years. Announcer call clearchoice today. Welcome back to smile Healthy America. Dr. Adams, you touched on this briefly, earlier, but id like to talk more about the oneday transformation. How is it possible to create a full, new smile in just one day . Well, shari, lets talk about, previously, how it was done or how its still, unfortunately, being done in some offices. So, first, you have to have all of your teeth removed, and you are given a denture. That denture sits on your healing gums. Its not a very comfortable process. To occur. Finally, the implants can go in. Again, they go underneath the gums, and this uncomfortable denture goes back over your healing gums again. Then, months and months of healing again. And, finally, you can get rid of the denture, and you can get teeth that are fixed in place on the implants. So its a very arduous process, which you have to kind of have at clearchoice, we see that we can do this a better way because of our specialists. Our doctors have a vast amount of experience and knowledge in the area, because placing implants is all we do. Because we have dental technicians on site that can actually build your smile. These are master craftsmen that can build your smile this gorgeous smile, the smile of your dreams while you wait. We have the technology right on site. We have the c. A. T. Scan to allow us to precisely measure the bone and know exactly where to place these implants. So, not only we can place the implants but we can put teeth on them and we can do it immediately in just one day. And finally, we have a support staff that has the passion for helping you change your life by getting this new smile. By bringing all those things together, we can create this fullarch implant restoration, and we can do it in just one day. Its really extraordinary. Lets hear from some patients and clearchoice doctors talking restoration. Announcer our Precise Technology helps us create a whole new set of teeth, with as few as four implants on the top and four on the bottom. We can use a minimum of four implants and be able to provide a complete set of teeth without having to replace each individual tooth with a single implant. This one time is all that theyre going to have to go through to get a permanent solution. Announcer you get stronger teeth faster, with a minimum number of implants anchored in your jaw. Dental implants are made of medicalgrade titanium and customplaced, based on your 3d imaging c. T. Scan. They are the most natural replacement for your missing teeth. A dental implant acts like a natural root in the jaw, permanently and securely fusing with your bone. This actually takes care of two problems by slowing future bone loss and giving a Strong Foundation to your new teeth. A connector and then your its strong, goodlooking, and ready to take on your next smile. Clearchoice was able to do the whole lower jaw with four implants, and then again, four more implants for my upper. That evening, when i went home, i had all the teeth in my mouth. Each time i would come back, we talked about the color, we talked about the size, and we wanted it just a little off. And finally, they put them in, and i loved it i didnt realize how much detail there was with the implants and how much input i had in designing them, picking the color, picking the way they looked, to make it look like me. I feel like its the new me. Announcer less surgery means less recovery time, so your new teeth are ready to go to work for you pretty much right away. Join the thousands who are already smiling freely, thanks to clearchoice. Growing up, my family didnt have very much money. I was told that i needed to get by the time i became an adult, my teeth had kind of really got very, very bad, losing a lot of bone. My teeth were just getting worse. It was very bad for my confidence. When my daughter got married, i couldnt smile in the wedding pictures, because i was too embarrassed. Something had to give. However, i did not want to have to wear dentures, because i had family members who wore them. Their face didnt even look the same. I really wanted something that was going to be more permanent. When i came to clearchoice and i found that what they had to offer was going to be a solution for the rest of my life, to me, it was like a miracle. You know . You come in that morning, and you leave and you have teeth in your mouth. And its hard to believe that, but it really is true. It was a very Emotional Experience to see yourself the first time. My teeth are there. Theyre like they are mine. Beautiful now than i ever had, my entire life. I just wish i would have done it 25 years ago, when i was younger and could take advantage of the look. [ laughing ] it truly is an amazing transformation. But, you know, i think the cost of dental implants. No doubt, shari, the numberone question on peoples mind is, how much does this procedure cost . And theres no doubt, this is an investment. But the question i ask patients all the time is, do you feel that you are really worth this . And i can tell you, from working with thousands and thousands of people, that you are worth this. Its an extraordinary transformation to change your life and to do it in just one day. Its an extraordinary investment. So, this is something that everyday folks can afford . Absolutely. My average patient coming in is just a regular patient. They have a job, they have a mortgage, they have a family, but theyre also struggling with selfesteem, with being able to just enjoy a nice meal at a restaurant, to be able to smile at the dry cleaner when they pick up their clothes. Those things that we take for granted, theyre struggling with, and we can help them change that. We have financing available for them. We can make this affordable and fit this into their lifestyle. For more about affordability, here are some patients, doctors, and patienteducation consultants to give you their perspective. Its really what matters to you and about quality of life getting the most out of life. I mean, if youre going on a cruise and you cant enjoy the food, you know, that takes some fun out of it. Or that person is always in a bad mood, they never smile. Maybe theyre just embarrassed about their teeth. Announcer ask yourself, what would it be worth to not have to think about, worry about, or cover up your teeth ever again . Its time to find out at clearchoice. Everybody here is looking to help people that come in the door make a Better Change for their lives. Investment ive ever made in myself. And i have never, ever regretted a penny ive spent. Its probably the best investment you can make to yourself. Theres nothing more personal than having a healthy, beautiful smile. These teeth are part of your body. Theyre not dentures. They never come out of your mouth. If you would total up all the money youve spent in your whole life on dentistry, its probably more than what this procedure costs. Even though it was money that cost me up front, and i had to allot for it, so i had to cut back on things, i would do it again in a heartbeat. We have several Financing Options that we offer here at clearchoice. We work with several of the leaders in healthcare finance. So we get really creative in helping people figure out ways to make this work so that theyre not trading one stress for another and its something that works comfortably in their monthly budget. I look at this as a necessary procedure in order to have a bottom line is giving people the capability to help live their lives. Thats really what theyre investing in. Theyre getting back their enjoyment in life. Its the best investment ever. Announcer changing your smile and your life for good another reason this is clearly the best way to set your smile free. Well be back in a minute to talk about overcoming the fear often associated with major dental procedures, like getting implants. I do get a lot of compliments about my smile. It makes me feel more selfconfident. My teeth just were not healthy. It did change my eating habits. Food started hurting my teeth, like steak, corn on the cob. This is something i had to do for me. And now i can eat anything i want. I would never consider dentures. I had my consultation with announcer join the thousands who have already set their smiles free at clearchoice. Call or click to schedule your free consultation with our team of experts. Everything was all under one roof the doctors, the surgeon, prosthodontist, the lab. I walked out of there with the teeth that i wanted, all done in one day. Im extremely happy that i made that investment in me, because i know its going to last me the rest of my life. My husband loves them, and i will always have this smile. Always [ chuckles ] announcer dont wait another day. Call clearchoice now. This right here is what we call larrys lounge. I have worked in this spot here now for 32 years. And this is my space. [ buzzer ] ive had a lot of folks say, man, what have you done to your teeth . Well, you know, i, uh, i just take care of them. My teeth were really bad. I mean, really, really bad. I wanted that confidence level where i could just, like, talk freely and people would say, its beautiful. Yeah, i made that 105mile trip to have it done at clearchoice. When those folks gave me the mirror and i looked at myself, after having my broken, discolored teeth, and i looked at myself, i said, oh, wow. Look at that. I was taking some pictures of my new teeth, just trying to savor the moment. And you know, i mean, these tears. [ voice breaking ] just makes you feel good. I am glad i went to clearchoice and did what i did, because clearchoice was the clear choice for me. It really was. Hi, again. Im shari smith with smile Healthy America. And were still talking to dr. Adams of clearchoice. So, dr. Adams, you seem like a perfectly nice guy. But lets face it, not everyone loves going to the dentist. How do you put these people at ease . Shari, i am a nice guy. I can tell you, though, that after practicing dentistry for 30 years, not many people really want to go in and see the dentist. No one is really happy to be there. But i can tell you that, in our centers, we understand the shame, the fright, all that has occurred in someones life to get them to the place where they have to now consider replacing all their teeth. We understand that. And what i would encourage anyone to do is call us. They can come to one of our centers, and they can have a free consultation. And at that time, theyll be able to meet us, theyll meet our staff, theyll understand that we truly care about them and this process of being able to change their life and do it in just one day. So, that would include the people who maybe havent been to the dentist for years, and theyre embarrassed about the condition of their teeth. Yes. And those people really dont have anything to be embarrassed about, because there isnt a situation that weve seen whatever is going on it, and weve probably seen a lot worse. So i can tell you that we dont look at the past. We look forward and how we can help that person change their life. And what about Pain Management . Well, one of the unique things about clearchoice centers is that our specialists, our oral surgeons, are also specialists not just in the placement of implants. Our oralsurgery specialists can provide you with i. V. Sedation, so you can have a safe and comfortable experience. Many of our patients go back to work within just a few days of having the procedure done. Lets learn more about how clearchoice doctors help their patients feel more comfortable with dental implants. Most people have had bad experience with dentists in the past, so they resist coming. By far, the majority of people leave here completely surprised how comfortable it was. Announcer if the phrase dental implants leaves you feeling a little uneasy, you are not alone. At clearchoice, we have the every procedure as smooth as possible. We want to get you smiling freely, as com
