Teeth, then they got their adult teeth, and their adult teeth have failed them. Through the power of implants, were able to give them a third set of teeth. Is that right . A third set . We can predictably, reliably provide that, and we can do it, randy, in just one day. You say things like, we transform peoples lives in one day. You believe that . I sense your skepticism. I dont believe it. I know it. And theres a difference between believing and knowing. Because i see it every day. Titanium screws in teeth and all the stuff that dentists have to talk about. Thats not what i do, randy. What we do, through the power, reliability, and predictability of dental implants, is we transform peoples lives by unleashing Human Potential. Think about it. The most simple thing that you can do is smile. And when thats taken away from you, when thats robbed, and you dont have that, its devastating. When you give that smile back, now, at the top of the show, we said no more dentures. Are you of the belief that nobody should be wearing a denture, a traditional denture . Right now, we have the power to end dentures forever. We really do. Now, thats not to say that there arent people out there who have to have a denture for one reason or another. But i can tell you, through dental implants, we can eliminate dentures as a trtm in dentistry, replacing missing teeth with dental implants. Is that right . Its hot because whats hot about it is the immediacy of it. We live in a society where people want to pull up to the window at mcdonalds, they want their coke and they want their burger and they want it right now. Implants have been around for a long time. Why werent they ever hot . Because it took a long time. Today and youre not gonna believe this either, but today i can do in one day one day in one day. Is that right. And that is the clearchoice difference. And help me understand this. Sure. So, how its normally done when you want to get a dental implant, you go to one place that does the surgery. Correct. You go to another place, the dentist, that puts the teeth on top, maybe another place that does the imaging. You have this you do everything right there. Is that correct . Yes. So, heres the concept. Instead of the patient having to run around to various practitioners, we bring the oral surgeon, we bring the prosthodontist, we bring that together with the imaging so we can take the icat image. And and whats lacking in a lot of areas, we bring the master dental technician, the artist who actually builds these teeth to the lab right there, too . Absolutely. So, we bring those four parts together technology, doctors, lab. Its a one stop for our patients. Does it i mean, does it have to cost more to go to somebody thats a specialist prosthodontist, all right there . Its important to lower the barriers to this care, because this care i mean, think about what we do, randy. We can replace missing teeth with a third set that looks, acts, and feels as close to natural teeth as you can get. Its a phenomenal story. But are there really a lot of people wearing dentures . [ laughs ] theres that skepticism again, right . I will tell you, there are literally tens of thousands of patients that are suffering from this disability missing teeth . And thats counting patients that have missing all of their teeth, or patients that are missing most of their teeth. Literally tens of thousands. So, if its so good, then why arent all these millions of people that have dentures or are missing a lot of teeth, why arent they all doing it . Why arent they all getting dental implants . Whats your take . A number of reasons. Lets talk about that. First, understand, youve got great teeth. Youve had great teeth your whole life. Yes. These people have had problems with their teeth their entire life. Imagine your life if youre root canals, gum issues, cavities, missing teeth, removable partials. They just want off that merrygoround of misery. Thats what it is. A merrygoround of misery. So, what do they do . They get their teeth removed. They have dentures. They are done seeing us. They dont have to see a dentist anymore. They dont want to come in anymore, right . So theyre outside the system. No one ever sits down and says, well, you know, theres more. Theres another way. Theres a third set of teeth that we coul dentist. Sure. Last thing they want to do. Theyre all done. And then, whats even worse, is theyll selfdiagnose. Theyll see an ad on tv maybe theyll watch your show and theyll go, i probably dont have enough bone to have that done. And as bad as that is, the other part is really worse. Well, theyll say, wow, implants. I probably have to have one for every tooth that im missing, so the cost of this is gonna be extraordinary. I could never do that. So they selfdiagnose themselves right out of the solution in the first place. But isnt it true, if youve 30plus years, you dont have enough bone to get this done . Thats not true. We see patients every day that have been without teeth for 10, 20, 30 years or more. Some of the solutions are more difficult to achieve, some are easier. They can eat and chew whatever . Whatever they want, i mean . As far as eating and chewing once its all done . They walk into a restaurant, and instead of picking and choosing, they can order anything they want on the menu. One of the things you say in your advertisements is they can walk in on the day of the procur without teeth and walk out with a fixed set of teeth that dont come in and out. Thats correct. Is that rare . Is it rare or does it happen a lot . It happens every day. Is that right . Every day. Our patients are in our centers at 7 00 a. M. For surgery. Theyre walking out in early to Late Afternoon with a new set of teeth held in place by the implants. We do it every day. Are they ever skeptical, the patients on these consults . Like, are you sure . Sure. I mean, look at that used to happen a lot more. It doesnt now. Theyve talked to friends. Theyve talked to relatives. Its not hard to find someone whos had this procedure done and see what its done to transform their life and unleash their Human Potential. Good for you. You like this. Absolutely. Absolutely. Look, ive been practicing for 31 years as a dentist. If you come in and youve got a problem with a back tooth, and i put a filling in there for you, thats not very transformational, right . Its a service that i provide. You say thank you, and thats it. Th their lives. To be a part of that i am humbled every day to be able to experience what these people experience. So, you brought photos. What are we looking at . I did. Heres brady. Let me tell you about brady. Oh, my goodness. The first thing youre going to look at is youre going to see his teeth. But i want you take a look at Something Else. Look at his eyes. And let me tell you the story about brady. Bradys a farmer, right . Hes a dryplains farmer, thats what he gets. Hes been living from riches to ruin his whole life. If it rains, hes got riches. If its drought, hes got ruin. All right. And hes had this hardscrabble existence out there, and hes done it his whole life. Hes a thirdgeneration dryland farmer. One day, hes playing in the yard with his granddaughter, who he adores, and she says to him, papa, whats wrong with your teeth . Whats wrong with your mouth . Think about that. You granddaughter. He tells you this in the consult . He tells us this. He cries at the consult. He cant even bear to face his granddaughter anymore because she looks at him and says, whats wrong with your mouth . Brady also knew that his mom had dentures. He watched his mother struggle for over 30 years wearing dentures, to the point that, in her later years, she didnt even wear them at all. And he watched her walk around the house with that sunkenin dont have dentures. Dentures were not a solution for brady. And, by the way, what im looking at here, is this i mean, this has got to be completely unusual to have teeth this bad. This is an everyday patient in one of our centers. Is that right . We see the disenfranchised. We see the patient whos a dental refugee. Theyve tried it all. Theyve gone in for gum cleanings. Theyve gone in to have cavities filled. Some have had great access. Some have not had as good of access. But theyve all struggled in some way to hang on to those adult teeth. Theyre looking for an answer. He saw our ads. Now, i know youre gonna look at his teeth when i show you his after. I know youre going to look at his teeth. But i dont want you to look at his teeth. Very nice. Look at his eyes. Yeah. Look at his eyes. Thats a person whos now alive. Look at the before. Mmhmm. Thats a dead smile. Thats a fellow who cant even oatmeal is about the toughest thing he can eat. This is a guy who can eat steak. And those dont come in and out . What im looking at right there . No. They look like real teeth. He brushes them, he flosses them just like you do. Thats what people want. Thats what people want. People the patients that ive worked with, they dont even want implants. They surely dont want teeth that snap in and out. They just want regular old teeth. How do i get that . Well, we get that by using dental implants. Because, you know, an implan randy, is nothing more than an artificial root of the tooth. Thats all it is. Okay. Youre missing the roots of your teeth that held your teeth in place, were gonna give you roots back. But you know what . We dont have to put in as many as you had. Those teeth in his mouth are supported in each jaw by just four implants. So, four implants, a fixed, full arch of teeth. Yep. Screwed in. I can remove it. He cant. Can he bite into, like, using his front teeth an apple. Is that right . A steak. Do they have to be a little careful when theyre biting, pick up a menu, and order anything they want. How old can you be to get this done . You know, weve had patients that were very young, 18, 19 years old, that had trauma, accidents, things like that. My oldest patient, 99 years old. 99 . Arent they more likely, though, to fall out if youre 99 . No. No . No. Not at all. Its a fallacy. Its never too late to have a happy childhood. [ laughs ] never. So, they they can eat whatever they want. Now, you have a stack of photos. I do. Were short on time. Well, you know, i want you to take a look at this patient. Look at those teeth. You can see the wear. You see how theyre squared off. You see that she has missing teeth, right . Mmhmm. Those teeth are diseased, all right, because there is gum disease around those teeth. People dont understand the effect that bad teeth have on their Overall Health. Once you remove those bad teeth, i will tell you, it happens all the time, patients come in and they say, doc, you know, i had i dont know what happened, but i just feel better. I just feel better. And whats but if you have sorry to interrupt, but if you have bad gums, you could still get this done . Absolutely. Absolutely. By removing the teeth, you stop the gum disease. And if you have this done before the disease gets into the jawbone itself, theres plenty of bone to be able to do the procedure. And then you get a result like this. [ chuckles ] now, as a dentist, i can tell you whats really exciting. Look at this patient. Look at this patient. If you look at her before, look at the dark spaces in the back of her mouth. If you look at her after, there are no more dark spaces. Her smile completely fills her mouth. Look at how the teeth follow her lip. They have a nice gentle, feminine curve to them. The central incisors, the two front teeth, are dominant. Thats a characteristic of a great natural smile. Thats what a prosthodontist does. A prosthodontist is a specialist. Hes the artist of the smile. These are the things we got to all the school to i mean, they look real. I dont think anybody would people need to know this is a real interview, and i dont think anybody would think that that looks phony, right . It has to pass the grocerystore test. What does she say . I mean, people like this, when they see themselves, they must be theyre surprised . Shocked, surprised, cry. These were people that were on the outside of dental care. They were the masters of the coverup. They couldnt pass the grocerystore test. What ist . That woman, when youre checking out and youre right across from her and she looks at you, and she goes, wow, you have great teeth. Thats the grocerystore test. They cant look at you and go, wow, you have great implants. Or wow, it looks like you must have seen a dentist and had some work done. They just look at you and they go wow. Well, she looks like a different person. I dont think anybody would disagree with this. Sure. She looks younger. And not everyone is the same. If you look at this gentleman. All right. All right . Again, same thing. Brokenoff teeth. Now, if you look at his smile, its not like hers. We custom build every smile to match every patient. Hes a man. He needs a few things in his smile thats gonna be a little bit different. His lip moves different. Hes got facial hair. These things are different. And thats the excitement for a prosthodontist, working with our patients, we get to custom build every smile to fit that patients life. When this is all done and theyre coming back for the followups, right, they have their teeth. You say they act differently, they look ff you dont recognize these people. And im not talking about how they look. You dont recognize them from a personality standpoint. When you unleash that Human Potential, theyre confident. Ive seen people go out now and had the courage to start dating, change jobs, get married, start doing the normal things that we all take for granted. Because what was holding them back . Their teeth, their smile, their embarrassment. Were gonna take a quick break. We come back, more about the process and what they can expect. Im randy alvarez. Well be right back.

At clearchoice, youre about to discover what youve been youre watching the wellness hour. Im randy alvarez. Were discussing replacing missing teeth with dental implants. According to my first guest, no more dentures. Ive had dentists on this program. Sure. And i know you like fixed sets of teeth. But they say, randy, two implants snap in, snap out. And i asked you about that on the phone. Sure. And you said, i dont like that. I dont like snap in, snap out. Why . [ sighs ] well, let me try to be a little politically correct here. Lookit, i dont want to say anything against my collgu but i will tell you why i dont like it. Okay. Because my patients dont like it. Theres a lot of maintenance that has to go along with those. Snaps have to be replaced because snaps wear out. What a lot of people dont understand is, when you just put the implants in the front part of the mouth, you continue to lose bone in the back. You know, as soon as you take the root of the tooth out of the bone, the bone says, geez, we dont need to be here anymore. So the bone starts to dissolve away. Well, if you just have implants in the front, the bone stays there, but you start to lose the so, after a year or two, that plate starts to rock, has to be realigned. So, theres realigns, refittings. Interesting. My patients would come to me and say, hey, is there a better way . Cant i just have teeth that i dont have to take out, so i just brush them and floss them . Its because of what my Patients Want that i havent done any sort of a snapin in almost 10 years now. Okay, so, we have time for some more photos. Sure. I mean, these are our average patients. These are patients that we see on a routine basis, that they come in every day. You look at that and you see all kinds of problems going on there. So, these type of teeth. Sure. I dont know whats going on there, but thats got to be rare. I mean, i dont see it. You say its common. You know why you dont see it . Theyre the master of the coverup. This is how they smile at you. All right. They go like this when they talk to you. They are masters at covering that up because they still have to function in the public. Theyre in the grocery store, theyre in the library, you know, theyre in the gas they live in the shadows. I had a patient one time, worked for the newspaper. She loved her job at the newspaper. You know what it was . What . Delivering the paper at night. You know why she liked it . Because it was at night. No one could see her. She told me that she described her life as being like the back page of the newspaper. No one looks at the back page of the newspaper, randy. And what she was hoping to mp future, was that if she had this procedure done, her life and this is heartbreaking, but her life could become front page again. Front page. The part of the paper that you interact with and you see. She wanted to come out of the shadows. These people are all around us, theyre all around you. Theyre just masters of the coverup. So, all of those teeth had to go . She was headed for dentures . She was headed for dentures. Lets take a look at this. Oh, my goodness. Fit her face. Look how they fill her mouth. Look how they follow the lip. And every patient has input into color and shape of their teeth. So, we get to work with our subjects just like you would craft a photograph if you were a photographer. She looks, like, more sophisticated in the after. Let me ask you this, randy. Let me ask you this. If you were hiring here. Okay. And the before walked in, and then the after walked well, if one who would you say was the more confident, outgoing, the person who was, wow, that really made an impression on me. Well, if one person is smiling and one person isnt, obviously the one that looks happier, welladjusted. Sure. In fact, as you mention that, its funny, who would i hire, one almost looks more intelligent just because of her teeth. Thats how we judge people. We judge people by their smile. Its one of the first things we look at, right, in that first were looking at their teeth. And if their teeth look good, our eye moves by it and we move on to Something Else. But if their teeth look bad, its like have you ever had a conversation with someone that had bad teeth, and you cant stop staring at their teeth . You just cant let go of it because its abnormal. It doesnt look normal. Thats what these people suffer their whole life. Imagine that disability. Let me show you this next patient. All right. This is a patient i love. Because a lot of these patients ive showed you are older patients, right . Theyvd look at this patient. Shes young. Through a variety of bad things that have hap
