Are you anti-ClearChoice?

We're pro-patient. ClearChoice has helped a lot of people get implants — they're a real option. We just believe a single-doctor, in-house model produces a more consistent result, with less pressure and lower lifetime cost. We invite patients to compare both honestly. If ClearChoice is right for you, go to ClearChoice.

Will you really give me a free second opinion?

Yes. Bring your CBCT scan and treatment plan from another office and we'll review it with you at no charge. We won't disparage the other office — we'll just tell you what we'd do differently and why.

Is your pricing actually cheaper?

On an apples-to-apples comparison (surgery + IV sedation + same-day arch + final zirconia restoration), we're meaningfully cheaper than ClearChoice. The bigger difference is what's included. We don't add charges for grafting, sedation, or 'premium' arch material — it's all in the quoted price.

What if I already paid a deposit at ClearChoice?

Most deposits are at least partially refundable — check your contract. Even if you've paid, it's worth getting a second opinion on the treatment plan before the surgical date. Many patients save thousands and avoid unnecessary procedures by getting a second set of eyes on the plan.

Do you accept the same insurance?

We accept most PPO plans. Your consultation includes a benefits review so you'll know exactly what's covered before treatment. For amounts insurance doesn't cover, we offer 0% APR financing up to $60,000 — typically better terms than corporate-chain financing.
