Full Arch Implants Are a High-Stakes, High-Cost Procedure. Know Who's Actually Treating You.
ClearChoice, Nuvia, G4 by Golpa, TeethXpress — you've probably seen the ads. Here's an honest, sourced look at how each model works, and how Dr. Jandali's approach in Metro Detroit is different.
This Isn't a Commodity Purchase
Full arch implant treatment is major oral surgery combined with complex prosthetic planning — a permanent, expensive decision with real consequences if it's done wrong. Who plans your case, who places your implants, and who's accountable for the outcome should matter as much as the price you're quoted.

How Each Model Actually Works
ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers
National NetworkTo ClearChoice's credit, their centers are led by prosthodontists and oral surgeons — not general dentists. Each center is typically owned by a prosthodontist, working alongside an oral surgeon and an on-site lab, as part of a national network of 100+ locations under ClearChoice Management Services.
But ClearChoice is still a large, investor-oriented corporate network, not a single doctor building a long-term relationship with you. Standardized protocols across 100+ centers exist to keep the network consistent and scalable — not necessarily to fit your individual anatomy.

Nuvia Dental Implant Center
National NetworkNuvia's team model includes an oral surgeon, a restorative dentist, and a CRNA for anesthesia. Their headline differentiator, and the center of their national marketing, is delivering final, permanent zirconia teeth the day after surgery — not months later.
That speed is the entire point of their pitch. It's also exactly the shortcut Dr. Jandali won't take — see below for why.

G4 by Golpa
Affiliate NetworkG4 by Golpa markets a fixed, four-implant protocol delivered in 24 hours, at locations operated under license across the country. Some G4 locations are staffed by general dentists rather than specialists — worth checking directly for the specific location you're considering.
G4's published full-mouth pricing starts around $27,500 (per G4's own website, as of November 2025) for a fixed four-implant protocol — regardless of what your individual bone anatomy could actually support.

TeethXpress (BioHorizons)
Licensed ProtocolTeethXpress isn't a single practice at all — it's a branded, licensable protocol that BioHorizons certifies multiple independent providers to use. That means the person performing your treatment could be a specialist or a general dentist, entirely dependent on which licensed office you happen to walk into.

Two Things Worth Watching For
The national chains aren't the only thing to be careful of. These patterns show up locally too, and they're harder to spot.
A General Dentist Offering to "Do Your All-on-X"
Full arch implant surgery and prosthodontic reconstruction is a specialty in itself — it's four additional years of residency training beyond dental school. Some general dentist offices have started offering All-on-X procedures in-house, occasionally bringing in an outside lab technician for the day to help fabricate the prosthesis. That's a very different level of experience and oversight than a Board-Certified Prosthodontist who does this full-time, every day, as their entire practice.
"$14,500 Per Arch" — Read the Fine Print
If a price looks dramatically lower than everyone else's, it usually is — for a reason that's in the fine print. Ask exactly what's included: how many implants, what sedation, what happens if you need bone grafting, and what the final restoration material actually is. A rock-bottom advertised price for a complex, high-stakes procedure is rarely the full picture, and this isn't a place to shop for the lowest bidder.
Why We Don't Deliver Final Zirconia the Same or Next Day
This is the single biggest philosophical difference between Amazing Smiles and providers like Nuvia who market next-day permanent teeth as the gold standard.
The Same-Day / Next-Day Approach
Your gum and bone tissue is swollen and actively changing shape for weeks after surgery. Fitting a rigid, final zirconia restoration to that tissue while it's still healing means fitting it to a shape that won't exist anymore in a few months — often resulting in gaps, food traps, and a restoration that no longer fits the way it did on day one.
Real case: gum recession and food traps after rushed same-day zirconia placed elsewhereDr. Jandali's Approach
You still leave surgery with fixed, non-removable teeth the same day — a high-density nano-hybrid resin prosthesis, not a denture. But your final zirconia restoration is fabricated only after your tissue has fully healed, typically 4–6 months later, so it's built to fit the mouth you'll actually have, not the swollen one you had on surgery day. As Dr. Jandali puts it: "We do not confuse efficiency with carelessness."
