ClearChoice doctors focus on dental implants. Whether its replacing a single tooth, multiple teeth or full upper and lower arches, the doctors and clinical staff at ClearChoice offer patients a world class level of expertise and care.

The ClearChoice treatment model revolves around the patient. With a highly trained team, precise imaging equipment, dental lab facilities and helpful Patient Education Consultantsall together in the same centerwere uniquely equipped to make dental implant treatment the best possible experience it can be for patients.

Because dental implant treatment is a surgical procedure, its best to have oral and maxillofacial surgeons on your team. Our surgeons have training in the complexities of the bone, skin, muscles and nerves to optimize treatment results.

The restorative dentists, or prosthodontists, work closely with the oral surgeons to create lifelike prosthetic teeth. Prosthodontists have a special understanding of the dynamics of a smile and all aspects of oral health.

For over 15 years, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers have provided innovative and quality dental implant care to patients across the United States. Each center is focused on the same missionto provide quality dental implant treatment for people who are looking for a long-term solution to chronic dental issues.

Its clear that our approach to dental implants is working. By assembling all of the doctors, clinical staff, and elements needed for successful treatment together in one center, we give people new smiles, and new leases on life, faster and better than ever imagined.

Today, there are more than 77 ClearChoice Centers in the growing network. ClearChoice doctors share information among their peers, discuss new developments and collaborate on research. Staying in line with the latest industry standards is just one way that ClearChoice doctors are committed to providing quality care and expertise to patients at each ClearChoice Center across the nation.

With innovative dental technology, teams of highly skilled clinicians, and all-in-one treatment approach, ClearChoice doctors are helping more people break free from the pain and embarrassment of chronic dental health issues.

Just as dental implants have emerged as the preferred solution for missing or unhealthy teeth, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers have become a preferred provider for dental implant treatments. There are three important reasons why:

ClearChoice doctors stand out in terms of qualification, certification and experience. The materials used for implants and crowns, such as medical-grade titanium and zirconia, are high quality for maximum durability and good looks.

In the past, dental implant treatment was a long, multi-stage process that was complicated, uncomfortable and quite costly. ClearChoice changed that with all-in-one centers. Now, qualified patients can have the procedure done in one place and leave with new teeth in just one day.**

Theres another huge benefit of the ClearChoice all-in-one treatment approach: fewer bills and less guessing at how much it will all cost in the end. At ClearChoice, you get one fixed price for your procedurethere are no add-on charges for lab services or supplies. Plus, precise technology allows treatments such as full arch replacement, which often requires fewer implants and less bone grafting.

While considering your options for teeth replacement you may have asked yourself what are dental implants and are they the solution for me? Well, dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a permanent base for fixed, replacement teeth. Compared to dentures, bridges and crowns, dental implants are a popular and effective long-term solution for people who suffer from missing teeth, failing teeth or chronic dental problems. Because they fit, feel and function like natural teeth, dental implants are quickly becoming a new standard in tooth replacement.

What makes dental implants feel completely comfortable and secure? Doctors use a titanium implant fixture that, over time, actually fuses to the living bone cells of the jaw. This union forms a strong and durable anchor for your new teeth, meaning theres no slippage or other movement (which can sometimes happen with dentures). There are also no problems eating with dental implants, no need to repair them regularly and no more worrying about smiling freely and openly.

You can use dental implants to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or a full upper and/or lower set of teeth. If you need to restore a full arch, you may be a perfect candidate for the full mouth treatment. Surgeons will place four implants and then attach a full arch of teeth, giving the procedure its name (all teeth, only four implants).

Just as dental implants have emerged as the preferred choice for tooth replacement, the ClearChoice approach has become the preferred model for dental implant treatment. Our team of experts works together under one roof, with a fully equipped, onsite lab, to build beautiful smiles in a way that works for our patients.

Patients who need to replace a full upper and/or lower set of teeth can now receive full mouth implants. An oral surgeon will place 4 implants and then attach a full arch of teeth, giving the procedure its name.

Occasionally a patient is missing more than one tooth, but still has healthy gums and surrounding teeth, and a multiple implant is the best solution. Two fixtures are implanted and the crown is attached, leaving other natural teeth intact. The multiple implant is not for everyone, and even if a patient is only missing a few teeth, it may still be preferable to perform a full mouth/arch procedure.

If you have lost a single tooth due to an accident or from periodontal disease, that one tooth can be replaced using a dental implant. Your new tooth will look and function just like your other natural teeth.

If you struggle with dental issues and cant seem to find a solution that makes you happy, dental implants could be the right choice for you. Beyond the aesthetic appeal, many people find that the health benefits are an important factor when considering implants.

For example, did you know implants can help prevent bone loss in the jaw? The natural erosion of bone begins as soon as a tooth is lost, and if nothing is done, this may result in the loss of other teeth and could cause a sunken look in facial features. Dental implants integrate with the bone, providing a stimulus that keeps the jawbone from deteriorating. This helps maintain a more youthful facial structure, boosts confidenceand leads to better oral health.

Of course, you cant forget about some of the more common advantages of dental implants. Unlike dentures, they never slip or moveand you dont have to use special cleaners and adhesives. Unlike fixed bridgework, dental implants dont require adjacent healthy teeth to be filed down. And, theres this fact to consider: studies have reported that the long-term success rate of implants is over 95%.*

I am writing to share my review of Clear Choice Center in Columbia, MD. I offered to do this without being asked. I have spent many years with poor dentitions and having difficulty with just smiling nad eating. After extensive research last fall, I chose this Clear Choice Center based on prior reviews. The process was easy to get started from my first encounter with Hana on the phone setting up my initial visit when I met with all the members of the team that would be taking care of me. There were no high pressure tactics, everyone was pleasant and knowledgeable about their own areas of expertise. The idea of going to one place for all my dental issues and having everything done in one surgical visit was a definite selling point, though I must admit at first I wasn't really sure it could be done that way as I had visited other dentists and they were saying it would take years to accomplish what I wanted, not to mention they wanted payment up front. Clear Choice helped me set up financing after I decided to move forward with the process and I was approved in 15 minutes. I am in the healthcare field as a medic and nurse so I can tell when someone is feeding me lines they want me to hear, I never felt that way during my visit. I was able to set up my next visit for templates and my date of surgery on the day of my first visit. I felt very comfortable with the people and process. Everyone is there to make your experience the best it can be and it shows. The day of my surgery everything went as stated and I already had picked up the medications to use post surgery and instructions. The experience exceeded my expectations, I had extensive surgery to extract teeth and place multiple implants. Yes I did have some bruising for about 10 days, but I had no true pain after the second day and today is 3 weeks after my surgery and I know I made the right decision picking this particular ClearChoice. They have given me back my confidence, smile and ability to laugh out loud again. DR. McIver was amazing as was all of the staff that helped me. Dr. McIver called me the night of my surgery to see how I was doing and gave me his phone number if I needed anything. I have received several follow up calls since and they always answer my questions. I am not one to write reviews, however in this instance, if you are even thinking about implants versus constant repeat visits to fix a tooth here and there I would encourage you to give Clear Choice in Columbia a call and set up a consultation, you will not regret it! It was easily worth the hour drive to get there for the outstanding results. This place is amazing! Walt Kelch, RN, Paramedic Littlestown, PA Update: 10/2/22 I received my permanent implants a few weeks ago. I am exceedingly pleased with them and my family has complimented how they look so natural. It is nice to be able to eat whatever I want again without fear of my teeth being harmed as in the past years. I found the staff at ClearChoice to be friendly, competent and compassionate about getting things right. Dr. Paik and Dr. McIver were excellent with their care and concern. The staff I had helping me along the way on each visit was professional, courteous, engaging and pleasant to work with. I have been in the medical field for over 40 years now as an emergency responder. I know when people are real or just going through the motions. At the end of the day you want people who care about you.... the staff here does just that. It is a top notch organization and I would advise anyone seeking this kind of expertise to give them a try. I have read some reviews stating that people were "paid" to give a good review... this review is mine, no one asked me to do it and certainly didn't pay me... I know how I struggled with this problem literally for decades... When someone treats me well, I believe they deserve to receive praise for their efforts. Thanks again to the folks at ClearChoice in Columbia... a great group... Walt Kelch, RN, EMT-P

Clearchoice has exceed my expectation. This was the first time I was excited to have dental work done. I had very little pain after having upper and lower inplants. I got so many compliments from family and friends. The cost is high, but my overall health has improved with less inflammation in my body.This is an investment in me.

You know how you always hear horror stories and nightmarish experiences about dentist offices? Well, none of those stories apply to ClearChoice. I just went home with my final, permanent set of implants this afternoon. Throughout the entire process, from consultation to surgery to various post-op checkups, I've always had a pleasant experience in this office. On each visit I've been with a different nurse and on each occasion I had the same exact experience. The entirety of the staff is friendly, on point, and inspires confidence. I could neither pick out a favorite - or least favorite - staff member of those that I worked with simply because they each provided such an awesome experience. I think it's probably natural to feel somewhat nervous whenever you go through any sort of surgery, but the demeanor of the staff quickly dissolved those nerves. With each visit I could tell the entire office ran like a well-oiled machine and everyone was on the same page and on the same team. As far as the surgery itself, recovery, and all that? Piece of cake. Not once - even when healing or immediately post-op - did I ever feel any discomfort, pain, or anything of the sort. The worst part of this entire process is the soft food diet during the healing stage, but you get used to it relatively quickly. And the end result in your smile is more than worth it. If you're on the fence about implants, do it. 100% worth it. If you're on the fence about choosing ClearChoice to do your implants, again, do it. I seriously doubt any other office could provide you with a better experience.

Words can't describe how great this entire experience has been. From the first consultation meeting til the placement of my permanent set of teeth, this experience has been top notch. Everyone from the doctors and staff, especially the staff, has been professional and great on so many levels. I will not hesitate to recommend this facility for anyone inquiring about dental implants. I can truly say that Clear Choice has changed my life for the better.

I have a condition called Gorlin Syndrome that had caused me to get numerous tooth extractions since the age of 14. Last year I needed 6 teeth pulled out and knew that I would never have the confidence to smile again. Fast forward a year later...my hums are now strong enough for implants. After numerous reach outs from Clear Choice, I finally decided to schedule the free consultation. The office is nice and the staff was friendly. They showed a video of testimonies and I immediately became emotional. Finally I'm getting some help! Here comes the quote...35k to 50k! I am a divorced single mom of 3 who sure doesn't have a 800 credit score for a 5 year loan. No cheaper option was provided or useful information to help with a better solution. I was given a list of lenders and told good luck. I was emotionally disappointed and discouraged. Word of advice: Show up with perfect credit and a bag of money

Professional, compassionate and a full team of dedicated staff. I would recommend them to anyone that needs implants. There is absolutely no judgment, just a plan to get the patient the smile and healthy mouth they want. I worked with Dr Damghani and Dr. Paik and both walked me through the whole process with patience and understanding. While it would be the icing on the cake this is NOT a paid testimonial.

Kind, Professional, Talented, State of the Art, Efficient, Skilled, Compassionate, AMAZING EXPERIENCE My teeth were ruined by treatments for a serious medical condition!! When it became impossible to really eat, when I was embarrassed to smile (even a little), when it hurt all of the time - I decided I had to act. We live in an area full of talented doctors so I did my research!! As a fluke I looked into ClearChoice in Columbia, MD. I'd seen the ClearChoice tv commercials hundreds of times so why not?! I discovered that the Columbia practice is owned and run by Dr. McIver and Dr. Paik. Both of the doctors have amazing credentials - in many cases much BETTER credentials than other physicians recommended to me. I've had years of serious illness and serious treatments, I was afraid. Dr. McIver wasn't just concerned about my smile, every step of the way was about my health and safety and improving them. I'm halfway through my treatment plan, surgeries over! No more pain!!! No complications!!! There aren't really words to express my gratitude to everyone there! Every staff member, every physician, everyone is absolutely wonderful!!

I am a 67 year old black single parent with 3 kids. I was in the Army at 18 and if I had a toothache I just let them pull it. I retired from the Post Office after 43 years once I retired I realized that I only had 3 teeth at the bottom. My Daughter and best friend without my knowledge tried to see if someone would give me a full mouth implant which would cost around $60,000 She emailed the owner of Clear Choice Mr Kevin Mosher who by the way is my Hero. After reading her email he said he would do it without hesitation. Mr Mosher is an epitome of what an owner would do for you. He immediately found a Clear Choice that was close to me in Columbia Maryland. Dr Paik waste warm and friendly he told me that even though it was his practice they had a team and everybody had to agree to work on me. We had a meeting with all his staff and they all agreed. I always hated going to the dentist but Dr Paik and his team welcomed me and my daughter and treated us like family. I thought because my service was free they wouldn't be as friendly. They treated me like a celebrity. From the receptionist to Dr Paik The surgeon and the anesthesiologist had an amazing bedside manner Dr McIver pulled the 3 teeth at the bottom plus there were 6 teeth broken down in my gums. Dr McIver is an amazing surgeon. After that Dr Paik was a magician He came through to speak every time I came in. The thing I love about him is he is perfectionist he and his team were personable accommodating knowledgeable and incredibly competent. No matter what technician worked on me they made me feel like I could trust them to take care of me. Dr Paik is an amazing dentist and I thank him so much for my full mouth implants. When I went in for the last temporary implants Dr Paik was not completely satisfied with a minor part of my implants so instead of him just letting it go because it was so minor he readjusted the infraction and I have a beautiful set of teeth in my mouth. I look younger I had to learn how to smile without hiding my teeth. Not only does Dr Paik and his A-Team deserve 5 stars But my Hero Kevin Mosher the Clear Choice owner who made this possible and I will always have a special place in my heart for him. Mr Mosher they don't make many Bosses like you you are caring sympathetic and an all around good Man. Thank You Mr Mosher Clear Choice and Dr Paik and his staff in Columbia Maryland Clear Choice Center.
