it's so good to see you all here today at smile healthy. i'm lisa singer and over the next half hour, we are going to get empowered. we'll be exploring how to reclaim lives shackled from the pain and embarrassment of significant tooth loss. joining me in the studio today is renowned prosthodontist, dr. mark adams. (applause) dr. adams and other doctors throughout the clear choice network transform people's lives on a daily basis, including right here in the bay area. we're about to find out how their team tackles the chronic dental issues that can make life miserable for so many. (applause) dr. adams, you truly help to give people a second chance at life. - mhmm. - all by improving their smile. why is a healthy smile so important? - the ability to be able to smile at a loved one, to be able to walk into a restaurant and order anything you want, those are things that those of us who have healthy teeth, we take for granted,

but not let's think about the person who doesn't have that, who can't eat the foods they like, wants to hide their smile. it's a terrible and devastating effect on their life. - i can't imagine, and you're right. i do take for granted that i can chew a piece of steak, but for those who can't why is that? what gets in the way of their healthy smile? - most of the people that come to see us have cavities. they have gum disease. they're on this merry-go-round of having problems with their teeth and even though they have put a lot of effort into this, because of the disease processes they are losing their teeth. they come to a point where all of a sudden, they have to do something. - they're coming to you. they're looking for a change. is there, though, a typical patient that comes to clear choice? - our patients are anywhere from 19 to 99 years old. they come from all walks of life. what they share in common is they want another solution that will allow them to smile, to chew, to live a normal life.

- you're truly helping people find those simple pleasures in life again. for someone watching right now, how do they find out more? - there's a number on the screen. we want you to call it. you can visit our website, make an appointment. there's no obligation at all. - that's wonderful. there is hope. - absolutely. - and what's great is clear choice makes such a profound impact on so many lives and these patients love to share their stories. now, let's meet one of those patients whose life was transformed by clear choice dental implants. here is drew's story. - my name is drew and this is my clear choice story. i started losing my teeth as a teen and by the time i was an adult, i had lost three front teeth and had all kinds of dental issues. it's amazing how your smile can affect you. i kind of felt like i was living life in the shadows. i gave up my friendships, eating

the foods that i love to eat. i got to a point where i said, "i need to do something and get back to the old drew." from the moment i walked into clear choice, i knew i was in the right place. they took the time to explain to me how i was going to become the person i used to be. it was an investment in myself and it brought me back to where i wanted to live. i'm out here doing the stuff that i love and the people at clear choice gave that back to me. (applause) - [lisa] wow, what a powerful story. - [dr. adams] yes, indeed. - it's incredible how this one decision allows for a transformation that reaches so far beyond the mouth, so how does someone go from the before to the after? - at clear choice, we take a patient-centered approach because every patient is unique. they all have unique goals. it starts out with having the entire team together in one location.

you have the prosthodontist, you have the oral surgeon. you have all of the dental staff and the medical equipment and the laboratory all in one location to help these patients achieve their goals, and it all starts with a consultation. we want to hear about the vision that these people have for their smile. what do they want this to actually look like? we talk about what their objectives and what their goals of the treatment are. we call that the smile healthy approach because every patient then walks out with a customized plan. - yeah, and it's just so remarkable that a dental issue can affect your entire life. - at clear choice, we have locations all across the country and we hear these emotional stories all the time. patients who suffer emotionally and physically. they're masters of being able to hide their smile. patients who are unable to sit down and enjoy a meal because of the pain going on in their mouth. imagine not being able to eat foods because you are trying

to chew these foods and your teeth hurt and are sore. they don't want to wear a denture. they're looking for another solution. - and you talked earlier about the pain of chewing - sure. - i, from experience, have had that, where i'm afraid to go to the dentist because i have a little bit of a fear of pain, myself. - sure. - how does clear choice handle pain management? - every patient is unique, and so every patient needs a customized approach to being able to handle that. i can tell you in general, though, our goal is to minimize any kind of discomfort for our patient. we have pain management, not only for the procedure itself, but right afterwards. you have to remember, though, that these implants become part of your body, so that when you begin to chew and eat, you don't have a set of teeth that are moving around. they look, feel, and act like real teeth. there isn't any pain associated with them like you have with a lot of removable teeth. when you have a denture, it can move around and it can cause a lot of pain, and here's the worst part.

a denture causes bone loss, where as the implants help to actually save the actual bone. - it sounds so wonderful, and it must be really gratifying to be a part of that. - i've been doing this for over 30 years and these patient's stories, the ability to be able to come in and help these people hit their human potential and really start to participate in life again. i'm so lucky everyday to be able to help these patients. - now, let's meet another special person who changed their life with their decision to smile healthy. (applause) - my name is randy, and this is my clear choice story. brisket cooked for two full days. my passion in life has always been serving some of the best barbecue you could ever serve. i had a motorcycle accident when i was 15 and had a bridge put in. my mouth was terrible. it's very hard to eat barbecue without teeth.

if you can't chew it, you're not going to be able to enjoy it, and i'm a chef. can you imagine not being able to taste your own food? to be able to have a palate and taste everything was so important to me. i decided that something needed to be done about my teeth. i saw the commercial that clear choice could get it done in one day. this was the choice for me. today, i get to live the life that i want to live and cook with the passion that i feel. clear choice gave me my passion for cooking back. - you can be a success story, too. coming up on smile healthy, find out how dental implants work and how you can change your life in one location in one day, just like lori did. (inspirational music) - they took an x-ray of my mouth and they were able to say, "we can work with that." (laughter) - your teeth are in.

- oh, my gosh. (laughter) - we'll be right back. - i would come in sometimes as early as three and four in the morning to avoid people. when you've got 10 to 12 teeth missing, you can't hide that. - it really impacted a lot of his life, both professionally and at home with the family. - for years, i would dream of a place where i could go and one day come out and have all my teeth. - at clear choice, our responsibility is to educate you and facilitate so you are very comfortable with the decision you are making. - [tim] doing dentures just wouldn't work for me. it was a very collaborative and team approach to it. they've got a lab there. everything gets done in the lab. clear choice put together a very personalized plan and i've got the best smile i could ever ask for in one day. it is 100% transformation. (inspirational music)

(upbeat music) - welcome back to smile healthy bay area. dr. mark adams, and we've go some amazing stories of folks who are making the most of their second chance at life, thanks to dental implants. before we get into the procedure, i just have one simple question. what is the difference between dentures and implants? - lisa, actually, that's a great question. this is a denture, and here's the problem. if you look at this denture, first of all, it's not permanent because it sits on the gums, and because a denture causes bone loss, the gums are constantly changing, so it constantly has to be refit. it has this big piece of plastic, which covers the roof of your mouth, so you can't get to those taste buds, so when you're trying to eat that chocolate cake or you're trying to drink that coffee, that coffee can't get to those taste buds, so you lose a lot

of your taste with a denture. it's also made from a material which is prone to being fractured broke, or chipped. now, if we contrast that with the implant bridge, you can see first of all, there's nothing in the roof of the mouth. you can taste that coffee, you can eat those foods. also, if you look at this, it doesn't sit on the gums. it sits on the implants, and the extraordinary thing is that it only takes four implants to replace an entire set of teeth, and it's made from a material, zirconia, that is very, very strong. it doesn't change, chip, or wear like plastic does. - now, dr. adams, tell me the steps that people take once they walk through the doors. - great, let's walk through those steps. first, it's the free consultation, which we've spoken about. our patient's going to come in and we're going to talk to them about what's your vision for creating this smile, what's important to you.

you're going to walk out of there with a customized plan for your smile. you're going to walk out of there with knowledge of all the steps needed to accomplish that vision, including the cost. the next step is a preprocedure examination. you're going to meet with the prosthodontist that's the architect of the smile. you're going to talk about the color and the shape of this new smile. next comes the day of transformation. we're going to place the implants. those implants are going to be supporting your new smile, and those new implants will support your healing teeth. we call them healing teeth for two reasons. one, those implants have to heal in the bone, and secondly, there's always little adjustments we'd like to make to be able to really fulfill that vision of yours with that first set of teeth. this is the important part. those teeth, in one day, look, feel, and act like natural teeth.

you don't have to ever go without teeth at all. (inspirational music) then comes my favorite part. we hand you a mirror. (inspirational music) guess what's staring back at you? the new you with this new smile. - wow, and how do people react? - there's tears, there's laughter, but i will tell you what there always is. there's a room full of smiles. - i think one of the aspects i appreciate the most is having everything in one location. i don't have to drive all over town and i have a consistent team taking care of me. - we have the prosthodontist. we have the oral surgeon. we have the medical equipment. we have the laboratory technicians. everything is right in one area to make it very nice for our patients. (inspirational music) - we've met some folks who have shared some memorable journeys. now, we're going to meet a remarkable lady who's story begins before her treatment.

here's lori. (inspirational music) - my story actually starts from a very young age. i developed an eating disorder when i was about 12. anorexia and bumelia, they both will affect your teeth severely. it was a secret, so i didn't ask for help with my teeth. every time i was eating something or brushing my teeth, one of my back teeth would crack or fall out. having my teeth decay really affected my social life and my work life. at my last job, i was a hostess. i'm a good hostess. i can do the job really well, but i'm not wanted to do that job because of the teeth. - [john] it got to a point where we couldn't fix them. i really didn't know what to do. - i just started not going anywhere. i just kind of stayed with my dogs.

- i probably didn't realize how bad her teeth were either. she said how hard that was to hide it and she did. i didn't know for five or 10 years maybe. - before we chose clear choice, i had an appointment with my dentist to get dentures. i did, and i started researching about how dentures performed. they don't really work as far as eating food and things like that, and so when i came to clear choice, i actually was not very hopeful about the appointment. - john. - i'm lori. they took an x-ray of my mouth and they were able to say, "we can work with that." (inspirational music) i was like, "oh, i'm not a lost cause. "there's hope." - i think once we made the decision, it was a no-brainer. we said we're going to get this money and do it no matter what. (inspirational music) i'm excited for lori to just be able to go out

and not be embarrassed and not be judged. and even for me, it'd be nice to take her out. - i think having my teeth, that's going to be a positive reminder that i can do it and that people love me so much and that's the thing they want for me the most. (inspirational music) (laughter) - your teeth are in. - oh, my gosh. (laughter) thank you! (laughter) (inspirational music) - [john] thanks to clear choice, i actually see the old lori, just the real you. - they'rlike, "yourclear choice, smile looks great." i'm just excited and i think they see a totally different person in me. (laughter) it's a second chance.

- how incredible to see so much, her demeanor, her energy, her smile is transformed. dr. adams, what stops people from taking care of chronic dental issues? - lisa, it's not that they've stopped. many of them have been dealing with these issues for years and years and years. it's exhausting. it can wear you down. also, they just start running out of options. they've tried many, many things. none of it has worked. they become hopeless and they become resigned to just living with these issues. - this is obviously a very personal decision. - mhmm. - and i would think that cost is a factor. - prioritizing these costs is always a factor. there are always children that have to be taken care of. there are elderly parents that might need care. these people with these dental issues also have really big hearts, and many of them are focused on taking care of other people. - that is a really great point, but i think ultimately, it's an investment in your own health, and that totally

affects your ability to help your loved ones. - absolutely, it is. it's about you. (inspirational music) - if you've got these or other questions, you don't have to wait. visit the website or call the number on your screen. take that no obligation first step towards a brand new future. truly, reaching out may jumpstart the rest of your life. (applause) next up on smile healthy, it's your turn. find out why now is the right time to change your life with clear choice and meet more patients whose quality of life has improved dramatically with dental implants. (inspirational music) we'll be right back. - every time i smiled, i had to cover my mouth because i was so ashamed. when the dentures slipped, i would have to excuse myself and go to the restroom virtually in tears. it kept me from being able to speak properly. i could not eat corn, apples, baby back ribs. i did not want dentures to be part of my life.

i pretty much decided dental implants weren't the route i was going to take. - let's do a head to head comparison of dental implants versus dentures. with dentures, the ability to taste food, to bite and chew is altered. the worst thing about dentures is bone loss. when you put an implant inside the bone, which is like the root of the tooth, then you preserve the bone. it's a game changer. with implants, you can walk into a restaurant, you order anything you want, you eat just like you have real teeth. - before i knew it, here i was with my brand new teeth. - [narrator] schedule your free consultation today. we'll even talk about financing options. - i can smile, my confidence is back. - [narrator] call clear choice today. - welcome back to smile healthy bay area. i'm lisa singer, back with prosthodontist, dr. mark adams. during the break, we've been discussing more powerful stories of transformation and here's another one for you.

- my name is elaine and this is my clear choice story. - here you are, mom, not smiling. - [elaine] oh, yeah, i don't even think my husband knew. i don't think he knew the extent of how bad my teeth were, but oh, they were bad. after he passed away, i knew i had to do something. i moved here because my kids wanted me to be near them. i did a lot of research. for me, i was not going to go the denture route, and i talked to my daughter and she said, "go for it, you need this." she went with me and encouraged me the whole way. i wish i hadn't of waited so long. i wish that i had done it while my husband was still alive because i think he would've been really proud of me. clear choice changed my life. they've given me back my life. (inspirational music) - throughout this half hour, we've heard truly inspiring

stories from regular folks who one day, decided enough was enough and made that first call for the clear choice consultation. for them, the rest is history, but you might still have questions. dr. adams, what do you say to those people who are listening, but just don't know yet if clear choice is the solution they're been looking for? - you'll never know if this is the right choice or not unless you make that call. we see many patients that have been turned down as difficult cases. please come in. we'll let you know exactly what your options are. with a patient-centered approach, our team is dedicated to building a custom plan for you, and that's to provide you with dental health and a great smile in an environment that's warm and friendly. (inspirational music) - folks, you don't have to take dr. adam's word for it. here are some people who, not so long ago, were in exactly your position, and they're got some encouragement for you.

- they brought me in and treated me like a friend. i needed some help. they gave me the light at the end of the tunnel and i could see where i was going. - they understand that your probably scared, and they really know how to put you at ease. i never feared coming here. i feared going to a dentist office. (laughter) - to look at it now, it's absolutely worth every penny. to know that i can get up and start my day and nothing's going to stop me. (inspirational music) when those folks gave me the mirror and i looked at myself after having my broken, discolored teeth, these tears, just makes you feel good. it just makes you feel good about yourself. clear choice did that for me. (inspirational music) - there isn't many things in life other than getting married and having kids that affect your life

so dramatically in one day. - i have more confidence. i can talk to people. i can look them in the eye. i can smile. i haven't been able to smile in a long time. - having great teeth gives you confidence, and when people see you on the street and they stop you and say, "wow, you have a great smile," it does so much to fill your spirits. - i would've done it a long time ago, had i known about clear choice. - i would really like to get the word out there to a lot of people, because i'm sure i'm not the only one out there that's had this happen to them, and there is a way to be happy again and smile again. ♪ 'cause i think i'm ready ♪ i think i'm more than fine ♪ yeah i know i'm ready - it's been a long time since i've been able to do this. this has helped us to be a better couple. this has helped us to be more in love. - it gave me back truly my life. - you're beautiful.

- i look like a million dollars. - you look beautiful. - they look so good. - they look completely different. ♪ this is my time ♪ yeah this is my time - when you lose something, you really do appreciate it if you can get it back. ♪ this is my time and i got mine back 10 fold. - do this because you want to be the best you and the happiest you ♪ this is my time (applause) - we now know more about the process of dental implants versus dentures and bridges and these stories from actual clear choice patients, across the country are truly remarkable. but, there's also an intangible reward. it comes with finally taking care of your dental issues, of living your best life, and embracing adventure out there. - yes, yes, there's so much at stake. i agree, it's time for the individual to make that

hard decision to take care of themselves, to put themselves first, to pick up that phone, or to visit the website and to make an appointment that may change their life. what they can get out of this is a set of teeth, a smile, that looks, feels, and functions like real teeth. - i know, imagine going to your favorite restaurant again or imagine the freedom of laughing without covering your mouth or just imagine the confidence in social situations. imagine not having to go through that merry-go-round or endless dentist visits that never lead to improvement. - exactly, we know how big of a decision this is. we have a compassionate staff, ready to take your call, to make setting up this appointment as easy as possible. - that is so wonderful. how can people reach you? - we want you to call us. we want you to visit our website, make that appointment. you make that appointment, we'll take it from there. we're here to help you. - dr. adams, thank you so much for your time.

- lisa, if we're able to encourage even one person to move forward and take action to change their life, it's all worth it. (applause) - these stories are stunning. to see people who've all but given up realize that change is within reach and to take control of their destiny's, it gives me goosebumps. - maybe these stories are hitting close to home for you or a loved one. well, you don't have to suffer alone. a no cost, no obligation consultation with your bay area clear choice team is the first step to the life you've been dreaming about. give clear choice bay area a call. give yourself the gift of a healthy smile. i'm lisa singer with dr. mark adams of clear choice dental implant centers. thanks for watching, and never forget the power of smile healthy.

(applause) (inspirational music) - my dental problems started as a child. i had a lot of cavities, root canals, eating anything cold, it would hurt so bad. with dentures, they never fit properly. my confidence was really down. i was always covering my face when i laughed. i went in for a free consultation with clear choice. - people come in with bad teeth or no teeth and in one day, leave with a smile that they are looking for. - [narrator] the clear choice one day approach is making dental implants a reality for people all over the country who suffer from missing or failing teeth.
