We have ravens and titans at 5 00. Go ahead, be that guy i just said it, it came right out of my mouth. Im wearing niners re the late show is up next. Thank you for watching. The news continues streaming on cbsn youre watching the wellness hour, the leader in medical news and information. Im randy alvarez. Todays topic, replacing missing teeth with dental implants. According to my first guest, no more dentures. And with us we have an expert on the topic. He is a prosthodontist dr. Mark adams. Dr. Adams, welcome to the program. Thanks for having me, randy. Now, before we get into todays topic and i know you brought a lot of photos, and well get to as many as we can tell us a little bit about clearchoice. I guess youre kind of unique. You focus on just about one thing. So, who is the typical patient . We focus solely on dental implants, and our average patient is looking for help. They havent seen a dentist in a very long time. Theyre a dental refugee. Theyre outside of the regular care. Theyre not part of the public that sees a dentist on a regular basis. They truly are dental refugees. They suffer from all kinds of problems gum disease, caries, missing teeth, removable teeth and theyre looking for an answer. Theyre looking for a solution. These people had their baby teeth, then they got their adult teeth, and their adult teeth have failed them. Through the power of implants, were able to give them a third set of teeth. Is that right . A third set . We can predictably, reliably provide that, and we can do it, randy, in just one day. You say things like, we transform peoples lives in one day. You believe that . I sense your skepticism. I dont believe it. I know it. And theres a difference between believing and knowing. Because i see it every day. Im forced to talk about titanium screws in teeth and all the stuff that dentists have to talk about. Thats not what i do, randy. What we do, through the power, reliability, and predictability of dental implants, is we transform peoples lives by unleashing human potential. Think about it. The most simple thing that you can do is smile. And when thats taken away from you, when thats robbed, and you dont have that, its devastating. When you give that smile back, you unleash human potential. Good. Now, at the top of the show, we said no more dentures. Are you of the belief that nobody should be wearing a denture, a traditional denture . Right now, we have the power to end dentures forever. We really do. Now, thats not to say that there arent people out there who have to have a denture for one reason or another. But i can tell you, through dental implants, we can eliminate dentures as a treatment option. So, this is the hottest trend in dentistry, replacing missing teeth with dental implants. Is that right . Its hot because whats hot about it is the immediacy of it. We live in a society where people want to pull up to the window at mcdonalds, they want their coke and they want their burger and they want it right now. Implants have been around for a long time. Why werent they ever hot . Because it took a long time. Today and youre not gonna believe this either, but today i can do in one day one day what it used to take me 18 months to do. In one day. Is that right. And that is the clearchoice difference. And help me understand this. Sure. So, how its normally done when you want to get a dental implant, you go to one place that does the surgery. Correct. You go to another place, the dentist, that puts the teeth on top, maybe another place that does the imaging. You have this you do everything right there. Is that correct . Yes. So, heres the concept. Instead of the patient having to run around to various practitioners, we bring the oral surgeon, we bring the prosthodontist, we bring that together with the imaging so we can take the icat image. And and whats lacking in a lot of areas, we bring the master dental technician, the artist who actually builds these teeth to the lab right there, too . Absolutely. So, we bring those four parts together technology, doctors, lab. Its a one stop for our patients. Does it i mean, does it have to cost more to go to somebody thats a specialist like an oral surgeon, prosthodontist, all right there . Its important to lower the barriers to this care, because this care i mean, think about what we do, randy. We can replace missing teeth with a third set that looks, acts, and feels as close to natural teeth as you can get. Its a phenomenal story. But are there really a lot of people wearing dentures . [ laughs ] theres that skepticism again, right . I will tell you, there are literally tens of thousands of patients that are suffering from this disability missing teeth . Missing teeth. And thats counting patients that have missing all of their teeth, or patients that are missing most of their teeth. Literally tens of thousands. So, if its so good, then why arent all these millions of people that have dentures or are missing a lot of teeth, why arent they all doing it . Why arent they all getting dental implants . Whats your take . A number of reasons. Lets talk about that. First, understand, youve got great teeth. Youve had great teeth your whole life. Yes. These people have had problems with their teeth their entire life. Imagine your life if youre talking about 20, 30, 40, 50 trips to the dentist. Root canals, gum issues, cavities, missing teeth, removable partials. They just want off that merrygoround of misery. Thats what it is. A merrygoround of misery. So, what do they do . They get their teeth removed. They have dentures. They are done seeing us. They dont have to see a dentist anymore. They dont want to come in anymore, right . So theyre outside the system. No one ever sits down and says, well, you know, theres more. Theres another way. Theres a third set of teeth that we could. So, they dont want to see a dentist. Sure. Last thing they want to do. Theyre all done. And then, whats even worse, is theyll selfdiagnose. Theyll see an ad on tv maybe theyll watch your show and theyll go, i probably dont have enough bone to have that done. And as bad as that is, the other part is really worse. Well, theyll say, wow, implants. I probably have to have one for every tooth that im missing, so the cost of this is gonna be extraordinary. I could never do that. So they selfdiagnose themselves right out of the solution in the first place. But isnt it true, if youve been wearing a denture for 30plus years, you dont have enough bone to get this done . Thats not true. We see patients every day that have been without teeth for 10, 20, 30 years or more. Some of the solutions are more difficult to achieve, some are easier. They can eat and chew whatever . Whatever they want, i mean . As far as eating and chewing once its all done . They walk into a restaurant, and instead of picking and choosing, they can order anything they want on the menu. One of the things you say in your advertisements is they can walk in on the day of the procedure they could walk in without teeth and walk out with a fixed set of teeth that dont come in and out. Thats correct. Is that rare . Is it rare or does it happen a lot . It happens every day. Is that right . Every day. Our patients are in our centers at 7 00 a. M. For surgery. Theyre walking out in early to Late Afternoon with a new set of teeth held in place by the implants. We do it every day. Are they ever skeptical, the patients on these consults . Like, are you sure . Sure. I mean, look at that used to happen a lot more. It doesnt now. The words out there. Theyve talked to friends. Theyve talked to relatives. Its not hard to find someone whos had this procedure done and see what its done to transform their life and unleash their human potential. Good for you. You like this. Absolutely. Absolutely. Look, ive been practicing for 31 years as a dentist. If you come in and youve got a problem with a back tooth, and i put a filling in there for you, thats not very transformational, right . Its a service that i provide. You say thank you, and thats it. These patients, this changes their lives. To be a part of that i am humbled every day to be able to experience what these people experience. So, you brought photos. What are we looking at . I did. Heres brady. Let me tell you about brady. Oh, my goodness. The first thing youre going to look at is youre going to see his teeth. But i want you take a look at something else. Look at his eyes. And let me tell you the story about brady. Bradys a farmer, right . Hes a dryplains farmer, meaning he doesnt irrigate. So whatever the good lord sends, thats what he gets. Hes been living from riches to ruin his whole life. If it rains, hes got riches. If its drought, hes got ruin. All right. And hes had this hardscrabble existence out there, and hes done it his whole life. Hes a thirdgeneration dryland farmer. One day, hes playing in the yard with his granddaughter, who he adores, and she says to him, papa, whats wrong with your teeth . Whats wrong with your mouth . Think about that. You granddaughter. It devastated him. He tells you this in the consult . He tells us this. He cries at the consult. He cant even bear to face his granddaughter anymore because she looks at him and says, whats wrong with your mouth . Brady also knew that his mom had dentures. He watched his mother struggle for over 30 years wearing dentures, to the point that, in her later years, she didnt even wear them at all. And he watched her walk around the house with that sunkenin look that people have when they dont have dentures. Dentures were not a solution for brady. And, by the way, what im looking at here, is this i mean, this has got to be completely unusual to have teeth this bad. This is an everyday patient in one of our centers. Is that right . We see the disenfranchised. We see the patient whos a dental refugee. Theyve tried it all. Theyve gone in for gum cleanings. Theyve gone in to have cavities filled. Some have had great access. Some have not had as good of access. But theyve all struggled in some way to hang on to those adult teeth. Theyre looking for an answer. He saw our ads. Now, i know youre gonna look at his teeth when i show you his after. I know youre going to look at his teeth. But i dont want you to look at his teeth. Very nice. Look at his eyes. Yeah. Look at his eyes. Thats a person whos now alive. Look at the before. Mmhmm. Thats a dead smile. Thats a fellow who cant even oatmeal is about the
