Assessing Value Behind the Hype
What the Reviews Say
When considering dental implants, the multi-million-dollar marketing efforts of ClearChoice® might have caught your attention. Their extensive advertising campaign positions them as a leading option for those considering dental restoration. Scrutinizing patient experience and reviewing its operational model is necessary to understand if it truly is the best place for dental implants.
ClearChoice® operates within the corporate dentistry framework, employing contract dentists much like a large corporation employs its workforce. This model enables them to reduce costs and enhance profit margins. The problem: this approach leads to a focus on sales over patient care.
Numerous reviews point out dissatisfaction with treatment outcomes and more notably with the aggressive sales tactics and treatment plans designed to maximize profits. Indeed.com shares details from dentists and patient consultants formerly employed by the company. Such practices contrast with the patient-centric approach of individually owned dental practices.
ClearChoice® has attracted attention on Trust Pilot, but not always for the right reasons. Independent TrustPilot.com reviews label services as “poor,” with a large number of patients reporting negative experiences. The consensus among Trust Pilot reviewers leans towards dissatisfaction, with numerous reports highlighting issues related to care quality, customer service, and value for money spent. This feedback suggests a gap between patient expectations and actual outcomes.
On Pissed Consumer, ClearChoice® faces scrutiny, with users expressing unhappiness with service. Common grievances include high costs, dental implant quality, and customer service issues. The overall rating reflects a predominantly negative sentiment, indicating concerns potential patients may want to consider.
Despite its premium pricing, ClearChoice® is criticized for not delivering value commensurate with costs. Reports from RealSelf.com indicate a majority of patients found the services “not worth” the steep prices, with full-mouth restoration procedures surpassing $70,000.
This high cost is further exacerbated by complaints of non-refundable fees for initial evaluations, underscoring the financial risks for patients seeking their services. Sign an agreement for a non-refundable deposit and don’t expect to get your money back under any circumstances. Because each location is independently owned, you probably won’t have success by calling the corporate office.
The reviews paint a picture of a company that, despite its high visibility and expensive marketing efforts, struggles with meeting patient expectations, particularly in terms of value, quality of care, and customer service.
This inconsistency highlights the necessity for prospective patients to diligently review and consider all information before choosing a dental implant provider.

Materials Used
ClearChoice® utilizes its own, proprietary brand of dental implants which are made in China, limiting patients’ options for maintenance or repair to exclusively ClearChoice® clinics. In other words, you have no choice but to return to ClearChoice for any maintenance.
This practice contrasts with the broader acceptance and compatibility of renowned brands like Straumann or Nobel Biocare, recognized worldwide for quality and reliability.
The company’s promotion of “implants in one day” also merits skepticism. The reality of dental implants, particularly for patients experiencing bone loss, involves a more prolonged and complex process than advertised.
While ClearChoice® has provided satisfactory outcomes for some, the variability in patient experiences across their nationwide locations and the significant number of critical reviews suggest a need for cautious consideration. Dental implants represent a large investment, necessitating thorough research and consideration of all options.
