I plan on sharing every step in the dental implant process from original consult to final post-op…read morevisit. ________________ 5 STAR __________________ 1. Initial Consult - The atmosphere is super friendly and the people explaining every detail made it very easy to understand the entire process from beginning to end. The cost is substantial and they work with you to help you obtain financing and set up payments that work around your budget. I'm now waiting for surgery date and VERY anxious and nervous. I trust Clear Choice completely but it is a pretty intense surgery as I'm having a lot of teeth pulled. I'm doing this to gain back the confidence and self esteem I've lost over the past 7 years due to medication harming my teeth. My smile used to be one of my trademarks and I'm hoping to get it back by trusting Clear Choice. 2. SURGERY DAY was arriving at 6:30am and I was in the chair at 6:45am. Everyone came in to greet me and encourage me and I am usually extremely fearful of sedation as it rarely works on me. I made my concern known to the surgeon and he was very attentive. The next thing I recall is waking up and realizing THE SURGERY WAS COMPLETE!! What?!? This is AMAZING!!!! 3. Day 1 post-op and it seems I'm still on some kind of numbing after effect. It took about 5hr30min for the surgery from start to finish and I don't recall one minute of it as the doc was kind enough to relieve my intense anxiety with sedation. My gums bled all through the night and some today. I keep my rag close by. My life saver is the ice pack. Make sure you have frozen bags of corn or peas!!!! They will be you "go-to"!!! 4. Day 5 post-op. The numbing from the procedure wore off the end of the 2nd day and the doctor has me on 10 days of antibiotics and 10 days of pain killers. I still rely heavily on ice packs. I can tell if I forget my pain med so I won't do that again! My diet is sugar free popsicles, fruit yogurt, scrambled eggs and mashed potatoes... ********* UPDATE ********** _________________ 1 STAR _______________ Here it is 5 months later and I've just completed my 2nd step appointment, which is IMPRESSIONS. This is a 4hr visit where they remove the temps and get an impression of your gums. It's not very glamorous but it is necessary so they can order your prototypes. THIS VISIT WAS A TOTAL DISASTER!! After 2 months of delays I find out that my treatment plan will DISCONTINUE if I do not pay them the final amount due for the entire process. I've paid them close to $28k and there is less than $6k remaining. I explained that since I was not satisfied with the care thus far that I would be more comfortable paying the balance once I got the prototypes in. This caused a HUGE impact and they sent the Executive Director in to strong arm me and tell me they were NOT ALLOWED to move forward until the balance was paid. Keep in mind, they had put me off for 2 months and the last month had been extremely painful as the temp set was agitating the roof of my mouth so much that it was raw. My own GP had to order me something for pain as Clear Choice refused to acknowledge me until this final balance was paid. I was super excited about this process and never imagined after the great initial care that the following care would be so unprofessional. THIS WAS A SHOCKER!! The director told me they would keep working on my teeth until I was satisfied but they simply could not order the prototypes until there is a zero balance due. They seemed oblivious to my concerns. I ask him how I was supposed to trust them to take good care of me and that based on the follow up care thus far I would never recommended them to friends or family. They've set an appointment for the 27th, then cancelled, then confirmed it again and then cancelled it again..... ALL IN 4 HOURS!!! TO BE CONTINUED

She was actually my first point of contact when looking to book an emergency appointment for the excruciating tooth pain I was experiencing.

I made an appointment online and took the day off work. One of the gals at the front desk was chomping so loudly on potato chips, I could feel it. One lady asked me if I could ask my spouse questions about my insurance and just stared at me blankly when I stated that I had no spouse that covered me on my insurance that I pay for. The dentist was fine. The technician doing my x-rays seemed to be having fun playing with the machine. The dentist came in to look at my teeth and referred me out. So that was confusing. Having looked on my insurance website and read reviews, it seemed to me that they did everything here. I guess I will call the person they referred me to and maybe come back here??

Despite my embarrassing and lengthy avoidance of dental care, all saff exhibited nothing but kindness and understanding toward me. During each procedure, the team explained what they were doing, managing my expectations extremely well. They work well together as colleagues in a nurturing environment are able to do. They were very considerate of any pain, checking in frequently to ensure everything went as comfortably as possible. Dr. Morgan is massively competent, knowledgeable about all the most up-to-date techniques and technology. She gave me the best tip ever to mitigate my strong gag reflex that has worked like a charm. That tidbit earned her my eternal gratitude. The wonderful people aren't the only great thing about Metairie Dental Centre. Since the facility's renovation several years ago, the waiting room is spacious and comfortable, with complimentary coffee and calming décor. The exam rooms are also more spacious and have TVs attached to the ceiling for patients to watch during their procedures. Everything looks so nice, like the reveal from an HGTV show. The piéce de resistance is the charming powder room. It features a glorious mural of a moody swamp scene painted by the practice owner Dr. Murphy's high school-age daughter. It's a magical place to relieve oneself. Like I said, there are so many reasons to recommend Metairie Dental Centre. These are but a few. Go discover the rest for yourself.

I was referred to Dr. Harris specifically by Dr. Gottsegen, who recommended all of my wisdom teeth…read morebe removed despite the pain being only on one side. Additionally, I'm being treated for severe TMJ disorder and have have been insisting that something has been wrong with my wisdom tooth since November 2024. Prior to my visit, I asked if they could verify what needed to be done based on the images sent in with the referral and book a date for the extraction. A tentative date was set but I still had to go in and see the doctor and pay the $110. Today I went in and traded $110 and all of my medical history for a conversation on ethics. Despite the chronic TMJ pain, difficulty to repair the tooth (despite what he says), and constant food trappings, Dr. Harris likened my (and the referring orthodontist) desire for the tooth removal to a person wanting to amputate a leg because of a bruise. To arrive and have to pay $110 to get a lecture on "ethics" was a bit much. The ethical thing to do, in my opinion would be to look at the images sent weeks before by the orthodontist and get back to him and discuss it. But ethically, I'm the one dealing with the chipped wisdom tooth causing my idiomatic pain. Completely disgusted about this.
