ClearChoice Dental Implants® FAQs

Yes, we love to welcome in new patients. We walk our new ClearChoice patients through all the steps of dental implant treatment during the free consultation. During your consultation, a ClearChoice doctor will perform a complimentary 3D scan of your mouth, a digital simulation¹ so you can get an idea of what your future smile could look like, as well as a full treatment plan. They’ll also walk you through the treatment cost and financing options to support you in getting the dental implant care you need, and can answer any questions you have.

¹For qualified patients at participating centers. Simulation is for visualization only and is not a guarantee of exact results.

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are inserted into the jawbone. They act as artificial tooth roots and help to secure prosthetic teeth into place. Dental implants are a healthy and effective option for permanent tooth replacement. While it’s necessary to have sufficient bone density, a ClearChoice doctor will be able to make the best recommendation for you. Speak to your local ClearChoice Dental Implant Center to learn more about your options.

A prosthodontist is a dental professional specializing in treating complex dental cases, including the restoration of missing teeth with prosthetic teeth. In addition to dental school, ClearChoice Network doctors have years of experience working solely on dental implants and are experts in their craft. The average lead ClearChoice doctor has performed more than 1,000+ fixed full arch dental implant treatments.

The cost of dental implants is dependent on a few things. The type of implant procedure, the materials used, and your geographic area can influence your unique dental implant treatment price. At ClearChoice®, your all-in-one price of dental implants will include the following:
i. Appointments: Initial assessment and planning. 
ii. Treatment: The actual procedure of placing the dental implants. 
iii. Materials: The cost of the dental implants, abutment, and crown. 
iv. Aftercare: Follow-up visits post-treatment.

ClearChoice offers a wide spectrum of treatment options to meet your dental needs and budget. A Fixed Full Arch Implant typically costs between $23,000 and $31,000; an Implant Denture typically costs between $8,000 and $13,500 and a Single Implant typically costs between $5,000 and $7,500.² Because a ClearChoice Network doctor will develop your customized treatment plan, the best way to receive your exact price is to schedule a free consultation. We’ll go over the best treatment option for you and your smile, and we can talk through financing opportunities together.

Yes, full mouth dental implants can often be completed in a single day³, a procedure known as “One Day Teeth Implants.” This involves placing the implants in strategic positions and attaching a full arch of teeth immediately. You’re able to leave your visit with a set of new, fully functional temporary teeth as you heal. Once your customized set of teeth is finished and your mouth has recovered, you’ll return to get your permanent teeth placed.

³A majority of patients qualify for same day implants and can have their procedure in one day after initial workup, without additional bone graft surgery, and may leave the office that same day with provisional prostheses and the final prostheses to be placed later.

Applying for third-party financing is simple. During your consultation at ClearChoice, our team can support through the application process with available third-party vendors. If qualified, you can usually get pre-approved quickly, allowing you to focus on planning your treatment.

Insurance coverage for dental implants varies. Some policies may cover parts of the procedure, like the crown, while others might not cover implants. It's important to review your insurance policy or speak directly with your insurance provider to understand the extent of your coverage.

The timeline for getting dental implants at ClearChoice varies. That’s because each step of your implant journey is uniquely customized to the needs of your smile, your oral health, and your budget. It generally involves a few stages: 
i. Initial consultation (free): Assessment and planning (can take several weeks) 
ii. Implant placement: Treatment to place the implant (in as little as 1 day⁴) 
iii. Healing period: Osseointegration, where the implant fuses with the jawbone (can take several months) 
iv. Abutment and crown placement: Final step of attaching the abutment and crown (can take a few weeks)

⁴A majority of patients qualify for same day implants and can have their procedure in one day after initial workup, without additional bone graft surgery, and may leave the office that same day with provisional prostheses and the final prostheses to be placed later.

At ClearChoice, we’ll do everything we can to make you as comfortable as possible. Our skilled prosthodontists use pain management options to ease any discomfort. Post-treatment soreness can be managed with prescribed pain medication and should subside within a few days.

Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance. Factors that could affect their longevity include: 
i. Oral hygiene: Regular brushing 
ii. Regular check-ups: Routine visits to your dentist 
iii. Lifestyle: Avoid smoking and keep a healthy diet
