What Cosmetic & Implant Dentists Must Do to Survive NOW!
An Exposé on Clear Choice and the Other Mega Dental Implant and Discount Dental Centers
Dear Fellow Dentist:
2009 and 2010 may see the death of some cosmetic and implant dental practices throughout the country. With the economy in shambles, consumers are simply cutting back on discretionary services and high price tag items – cosmetics and implants are no exception. Some practices just may not be able to withstand the financial crisis caused by the recession and the competition and mass marketing of Clear Choice and other mega dental implant and discount dental centers.
Recessions, though not as severe as the one we are currently in, have happened in the past and many cosmetic and implant practices have held tight, lost profits but recovered on the other side. Unfortunately, Clear Choice Mega Implant Centers, copycat dental implant centers and discount dental centers will be the chief concern for many dentists, a seemingly unshakable force, possibly the “death knell” for your practice.
Please do not dismiss this warning. This is not scaremongering, it is the truth. Thankfully, there are a number of steps you can take to ensure you aren’t toppled over by Clear Choice, its copycats and discounters. Please continue reading to understand the threat and learn what you can do to protect your practice.
The Threat of Clear Choice
Clear Choice is currently operating centers in 12 major cities in 9 states with construction sites picked out in another 5 cities. Each center spends a phenomenal amount of money on print, television and radio marketing (almost $80,000 a month in Phoenix and other cities).
They offer patient education seminars and promote the fact that they have an OMS, a prosthodontist, a CT Scanner and a Lab all under one roof. According to Clear Choice, this makes all aspects of treatment easier and more streamlined with a seamless transition between surgeon and prosthodontist.
They recommend their “All-On-4” procedure, allowing for a full arch restoration and therefore costing less than the 6-8 implants another dentist would often place, all without bone grafting. To top it off, they claim the superior experience of their OMS because they place “more implants in one month than most dentists do in a year”.
Research the “21st Century Solution for Missing Teeth!” yourself at www.ClearChoice.com. It’s no wonder why patients are sold on Clear Choice and their procedures before they come in for care.
