“I am Dr. Gary Adams. I will see your case through from beginning to end. You will not need to see another dentist. I have been replacing teeth permanently with teeth implants for over 20 years. Many people lose teeth from decay, root canal failures and TMJ. “No one should accept tooth loss and need to accept loose dentures.”
Insist on Zirconia Teeth for your All on 4 Case
Educate yourself about the different kinds of teeth that are used for All on 4 implants. Some are made with gorgeous zirconia and other teeth are made out of acrylic plastic just like dentures. There is a big difference. Make sure you know what you are paying for and if you don’t know, you are getting plastic because it is a lot less expensive to manufacture. The odds are if it is made by an in house lab at a chain dental office, you are getting plastic. The teeth are made by specialty labs. Anything “same-day” or manufactured by an in-house lab is acrylic plastic.
Snap-On Dentures is also a great less expensive full mouth implant option. But they do come in and out of the mouth.
Can all the teeth be replaced in a day?
Yes, we remove all the bad old teeth and you get a set of new teeth the same day. Often, marketing on the internet and TV commercials by Clear Choice implants can be confusing if not misleading.

Clear Choice All on 4 Dental Implants
Permanent implants never come out of the mouth. Clear Choice dental implant center and Nobel Biocare have popularized replacing a full set of teeth with 4-6 implants and a fixed set of implant teeth. The implant teeth are made of a plastic-like material called acrylic or a porcelain-like material called zirconia. The acrylic teeth stain, discolor and break in a period of 1-3 years. Get the zirconia teeth. Zirconia teeth have a lifetime warranty and rarely wear out or break. Full mouth implants cost 45-55K in our office including sedation from beginning to end for full permanent implants with zirconia. We do not cut corners with generic implants. Permanent implants with zirconia teeth cost 50k on the average in the US. Clear Choice Implants is by far the most cost effective and satisfactory service. Especially when the solution is compared to the function of natural teeth.
