Republic Services simplifies recycling with sorting facility

BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter

R

ecycling is a lot easier than it used to be.

The painstaking process of separating out every piece of material into three or four bins that have to be lugged to the curb every week has been largely eliminated in this area.

Republic Services’ Material Recovery Facility in Seattle’s SoDo district plays a big part in this enhanced convenience.

The 50,000-square foot site takes in more

than 200,000 tons of recyclable materials annually and sorts them out, category by category to be sent off for reuse.

“There are more materials that can be thrown in that single can because we’ve made the investment in the equipment and the people to effectively sort it and send it back to market,” said Jeff Borgida, general manager at Republic Services.

The Material Recovery Facility was first built in 1988. Since that time, Republic has made extensive investments to add machinery that makes it easier and faster to sort the stream of materials that enter

the facility every day. A 2008 investment of more than $5 million added more sorting machines, which led to simpler recycling for customers.

The human element still plays a big role in the effectiveness of the facility, Republic Services Marketing Manager John Caputo said. The facility runs 24 hours a day, in three shifts, and a total of 160 employees work the area during a typical day.

The fifth annual Lake Hills Blueberry Festival, a celebration of school and community services and the area’s rich blueberry harvest, will be Saturday at Lake Hills Elementary School.

The back-to-school party, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., at the school, 14310 SE 12th St., will also be an opportunity for local families to learn about Wrap-Around Services, a collaboration of the city, school district, United Way and East Bellevue Community Council to support youth and families.

The event will feature a free hotdog lunch along with free family activities that include: ■ Live music, games, arts and crafts, face painting and a visit from “Balloon Buffoon”; ■ Assistance and information about a variety of human services programs from local service providers; ■ Visits from Bellevue firefighters and police; ■ “Blueberry Lane,” where art, produce and blueberry pie will be available for purchase.

In addition, Lake Hills Elementary School teachers will be available from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. to meet with students and their families.

Visitors are also encouraged to take a short walk to the neighboring Jubilee REACH Center (14200 Southeast 13th Place) to shop a yard sale and participate in a raffle for free back-to-school haircuts.

Elementary-age students can receive a free dental screening from the on-site dental van.

Police remind residents about kids and schools Kids are back in school again and police are reminding motorists to pay attention to limits on driving.

When yellow flashing lights are operating near elementary schools, the speed limit is reduced to 20 mph, so motorists should be prepared to slow down.

In Bellevue, Photo Enforcement Cameras will again be operating during school hours in two school zones: NE Eighth Street and 143rd Avenue NE, Stevenson Elementary School; and SE Eighth Street and 143rd Place SE, Lake Hills Elementary School. In addition to the Photo Enforcement Cameras, officers regularly enforce the school zone speed limits.

“The purpose of the enforcement is to enhance driver awareness and improve voluntary compliance with the school zone

Other safety tips:

■ Slowdown in school zones.

■ Pay attention while driving.

■ Don’t be distracted by using electronic devices, including cell phones or iPods.

■ Yield the right away to pedestrians and children getting on and off the school buses.

■ Remember to be aware of your surroundings while turning or changing lanes.

■ Stop completely at all intersections.

■ Pedestrians should use crosswalks and cross with the crossing sign.

Bridging cultural gaps program topic Bellevue is diverse, but is it “culturally competent?” On Tuesday, Sept. 11, the Bellevue Cultural Conversations Program will feature a speaker knowledgeable about integrating diverse populations and fostering unity in our diverse community.

Nura Adam, the owner of a translation company and a consultant who advises organizations on cultural and religious practices, will kick off a discussion about bridging cultural gaps by sharing her reflections about 9/11 and her motivation and inspiration to move forward in a lifechanging way. The meeting will be 1-3 p.m. at the Crossroads Community Center, 16000 NE 10th St. Cultural Conversations meets roughly every six weeks, giving women from a variety of backgrounds a way to connect to each other and their community. The gatherings – where participants share their stories – are free. Refreshments are served and women of all ages, faiths and cultures are welcome to attend.

Adam understands various cultural issues facing the city, where minorities represent more than 40 percent of the population, and is passionate about helping individuals, organizations and communities develop communication skills and gain cultural knowledge.

Adam recently developed a new model to bridge cultural gaps called the AARPIC (acknowledgement, appreciation, respect, positiveness, inclusiveness and compassion) Theory. She will present an overview of the theory, intermingled with stories.

The September meeting will not be a workshop. The program will explore tools to build confidence and have constructive conversations that don’t compromise relationships.

Multicultural Outreach offers details about Cultural Conversations, or you can contact Ying Carlson (425-4524342 or ycarlson@bellevuewa.gov) or Barb Tuininga (425452-2800 or btuininga@bellevuewa.gov).

“I figured it would be a good landing, but it was rough and then I realized the gear was jammed,” he said.

Postma said this had never happened before. He has been flying since 1976.

Word of Mouth

by Dr. Adam Cramer

INFECTED GUMS, LOOSE TEETH

Even though you brush and floss daily, the sticky film known as “plaque” is likely to harden into “tartar” (or “calculus”) in difficult-to-clean areas, especially along the gum line, around the back teeth, and around fillings and other dental restorations. Sticky bacteria-laden plaque can harden into tartar in a mere 26 hours. For this reason alone, it is strongly suggested that you avail yourself of a professional cleaning every six months. If tartar is allowed to accumulate, gum disease will progress from relatively mild gingivitis (swollen, bleeding gums) to more serious “periodontitis.” At this stage, pockets form between teeth and gums, and tooth loss, due to damaged bone and ligaments, becomes an inevitable prospect. The goal is to stop gum disease in its tracks in the earliest stages or prevent it completely.

EDITORIAL

Do your homework to find best candidate

L

ast week the Republicans nominated Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan as their candidates for president and vice president. This week, Democrats nominated Barack Obama and Joe Biden as their choices.

This means the race for the White House – and all the other political offices – shifts into high gear. Unfortunately, it also means voters will be bombarded by attack ads and untruths.

Despite what you may read and hear in the next few months, we doubt that the people running for office are ax murderers, child molesters or serial killers. OK, so they really won’t be accused of that, but much of what opponents say about them won’t be true, either.

It’s sad that negative advertising has become such a force in our elections, but studies say voters are swayed by such tactics. As a result, almost anything goes. But that doesn’t mean you have to be taken along for the ride.

Voters are served best when they seek out and understand what a candidate champions and what he or she says are his or her priorities if elected. If a candidate’s priorities align with yours, you may have someone you should support.

It’s also worthwhile – but it takes some work – to see what type of experience and/or background a candidate would bring to the job if elected. While there’s no guarantee that this makes for the best candidate, if can give a voter a feeling if the person is up to the task if elected.

How to ferret all of this out? The Reporter will help by publishing profiles about the local candidates, that include how they define the issues in the campaign and and how they would deal with them.

Voters also are helped by attending candidate forums to see first-hand how the candidates respond under pressure and if they are able to give the public a clear, concise answer to a question.

Finally, if birds of a feather flock together, look to see who is supporting the various candidates. Do these backers represent special interests. If so, are they your’s, too?

And finally, don’t believe everything you see in a TV political ad or what comes into your mailbox. Do your own homework – and vote what you decide.

My self-imposed fall travel ban

I

t’s 8 a.m. on Labor Day and I am sitting in a train station in Eugene, Ore., waiting to go home. I am barely awake after a friend’s wedding the night before, and an adventurous midnight hike the previous evening.

It was a great time and all, but I missed a three-day weekend at home, and some great things to do – specifically, Bumbershoot.

This kind of thing happens all too often. I return home to Oregon for a weekend for whatever reason, and I miss a great event here or somewhere else in the region.

That’s why I am trying something out Nat Levy for the next few months: a travel ban.

That means no leaving town between now and Thanksgiving (excluding emergencies of course). This has its drawbacks, but mostly I am hoping it will give me a chance to become further connected with the area I have lived in for more than three years, but still feel like an outsider most of the time.

Coming from Oregon, I am six-hour drive from home.

Cancer study important What if we could personally participate in research that might help determine factors that cause or prevent cancer?

What if our involvement, and that research, ultimately leads to the elimination

of cancer as a major health problem for this and future generations?

What if we could make it so just one family never has to hear the words “you have cancer”?

Residents of our community have an unprecedented opportunity to participate in cancer research this year.

Enrollment for the American Cancer Society’s third Cancer Prevention Study will be taking place at 17

Just far enough away to not be able to come for a standard weekend, but too far to be fully connected. In essence, I feel sometimes like a man without a city.

So this fall I am going to dedicate myself to become reacquainted the area. That means being around on weekends if I want to go to a Seahawks game. It means checking out crazy haunted houses like Beaver Lake around Halloween.

People come from all over the world to see the Puget Sound region, and I feel as though we residents often take for granted what we get to see every single day. We scoff at all the tourists trying to drive around Pike Place Market, rather than enjoying all of the restaurants, and we snicker at the people who marvel at Downtown Park, the place where we eat lunch every day. During this time, I not only want to learn more about my home, but I want to regain an appreciation for everything it has to offer, both the hidden gems and the well-known tourist attractions.

locations across the Puget Sound. You can see all the locations and times of enrollment by visiting www. cps3seattle.org.

Individuals between the ages of 30 and 65 who have never been diagnosed with cancer and are willing to make a long-term commitment to the study are encouraged to sign up. Those who choose to enroll will simply fill out a comprehensive survey packet about

health history, provide a small blood sample (to be collected by trained phlebotomists) and provide a waist measure. Participants will periodically be sent a follow-up questionnaire for the next 20 to 30 years.

INSIDE T-MOBILE

Business Roundup

Company shows testing lab, announces new features on 10th anniversary

Businesses and business people making news

New York Life moves office

BY NAT LEVY Bellevue Reporter

A robot named Mr. Hats listens as noise is piped in from every angle. Meanwhile, Tappy, another robo-tester, mashes buttons and commands for 24 hours straight. At the same time, a model of a head is scanned in different positions in a room adorned with bright blue and yellow foamed cones.

This is the scene inside T-Mobile’s Factoria Device Lab, the place where all phones go for testing before they hit the market. They are tested for everything from call clarity, to water resistance, to resilience when dropped by the customer.

The company gave a rare glimpse into how it checks the quality of devices as part of its 10th anniversary celebration this week. The company also rolled out a series of new features that officials hope will propel it into closer competition with the top two wireless carriers, AT&T and Verizon.

Having come a long way from its first innovation, the Sidekick, T-Mobile plans to offer unlimited 4G smartphone data plans, and complete a $4 billion investment into its network following a failed merger deal between the Bellevue-based company and AT&T. “We like to consider ourselves the ‘Un-carrier,’” said Brad Duea, senior vice-president of product management, “Where the other guys are actually going to limited buckets and forcing families to share, we are going the other way with unlimited 4G data. No throttles, no overages, but unlimited 4G data.”

T-Mobile can’t always compete in some of the more rural areas, said David Mayo, senior vice president of technology, strategy, finance and development, but the company will continue to build up its Metro offerings. The company’s 4G network is available to more than 220 million customers nationwide, and T-Mobile will begin rolling out the next iteration, LTE, in 2013 when technology behind the devices should make them more affordable.

Already attempting to rattle the cage of other carriers with its image, T-Mobile has a plan for the one piece of technology it cannot boast, the iPhone. The company does not sell it because it hasn’t found “the right commercial relationship,” with Apple, Mayo said, and the costs that come along with retailing the popular device. But Duea said the company is encouraging customers to bring unlocked iPhones and sign up with T-Mobile’s new data plans, which retail for as low as $69.99 a month.

T-MOBILE TESTS Devices at T-Mobile go through a litany of tests before they can come to market.

The company demonstrated some of these methods.

TAPPY: These robots feature arms that constantly perform various functions on the phone (texting, phone calls, launching apps, etc.). These machines put phones through a 24-hour stress test to make sure the devices can handle high usage without the software crashing.

MR. HATS: This talkative robot is on the phone all over the place. Technicians pipe in dialog on repeat, while simulating a variety of noises, such as wind from an open car window. The calls come from a sound-sealed room, and technicians on the other line test the phones for call clarity.

DROP TESTS: T-Mobile has a number of machines to simulate the effect of a phone flying out of the owner’s pocket. Phones are tossed about 125 times by a machine that relates to a three-foot drop, to make sure they will not break.

SIGNAL STRENGTH: Phones are placed in the hands of a model robot in a variety of different positions to see how people can best hold devices to avoid blocking signal.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME

Playing like a girl

Sammamish hopes to mirror success of rival Interlake with move to Class 2A

F

the program for the past several years, said keeping the casual athlete involved in athletics in the face of mounting losses is always a challenge, but one the school’s coaches must continue fighting.

“Some years are better than others,” Harrington said.

“The real issue is even when we’re struggling, finding a way to keep those kids coming back.”

Coaches, athletes and administrators around the school hope that moving to Class 2A, and the renewed opportunity for postseason play that comes with, could soon make that problem a thing of the past.

Despite its recent athletic success, Interlake is still far from a jock factory.

With a high concentration of International Baccalaureate, Advanced Placement (71 percent) and Gifted Program students on campus full time or solely for those programs, the athletic programs often take a back seat to the many outstanding academic feats Interlake students regularly tally.

The Saints’ athletic program took a major dip in the 1990s and 2000s as the school’s culture gradually and

or young American males, playing sports is second nature.

Whether a casual soccer team or win-at-all-costs select baseball or basketball program, boys are taught the benefits of team sports from a young age and constantly reminded that life’s challenges are more manageable after a dress rehearsal on the playing field.

But what about our girls?

While adolescent boys no doubt face unique challenges relating to body image, self-confidence and sexuality, they are also empowered by a society that continually offers up tools - like sports - to help cope with the stress of those most awkward years.

For young women, who are constantly bombarded with norms of female beauty that are in reality an unhealthy portrayal, the formula is not so simple.

Josh Suman But with the help of sports and their own careers gaining empowerment through physical activity, Libby Ludlow and Jilyne Higgins are working to change that.

Ludlow, an Interlake High School graduate and former Olympian with the United States Ski Team and Jilyne Higgins, a collegiate skier at Vermont and Eastside Catholic alum, are using sports as a tool to empower girls both on the field and off.

“Through participating in sports, you’re constantly put into challenges,” said Ludlow, who overcame a host of injuries to reach the 2006 Olympics. “When you’re challenged, you gain evidence of what you’re capable of and how awesome you are.”

The program is called “Z-Girls,” and it’s about much more than running, kicking or catching.

Ludlow and Higgins began the program in 2011 and a host of other coaches help facilitate the camps, which have extended from Bellevue and the Eastside to Portland and the long-term vision for Z-Girls in nationwide.

Unlike traditional sports camps where specific skills and philosophies for competitive play are the focus, sports are merely the vehicle for Ludlow and Higgins to teach lessons about creating and maintaining a healthy body image, positive self-talk and a reliable support network.

Higgins said she has been influenced by a study from the Women’s Sports Foundation that determined by age 14, girls dropped out of sports at twice the rate of boys. Part

SEE Z-GIRLS, 9

Amid a flurry of excited screams and tearful hugs, Emma Bergstrom, then a sophomore at Interlake High School, looked shocked.

Her Saints had just defeated Cedarcrest 1-0 in the 2A state title game to give the school only its second team sport championship, the first in more than 30 years. Interlake didn’t just go unbeaten through the postseason, the team did not allow a goal in four state tournament games and it put on a thoroughly dominant performance that began with a second place finish during the regular season, behind only 3A state runner-up Liberty.

For Bergstrom, who along with current University of Washington player Isabel Farrell joined the prep team for the first time in 2011 after starring with club sides, the joy wasn’t in the win, but in the teammates and classmates she shared it with.

With their own move to Class 2A now final, Sammamish hopes to mirror that success in coming years.

After dropping to Class 2A for the 2008-09 school year, Interlake saw a major boon to boys and girls team and individual sports in its athletic program, including playoff berths in every season and a handful of state titles.

During their years together in 3A, Sammamish was actually more successful in team sports, as the football, boys basketball, boys soccer, girls soccer, softball and volleyball teams made a trip to state at least once.

But only one of those has come since 2008.

The Totems had low enough numbers to join Interlake in 2A that year, but balked because of a lack of information regarding the logistics behind postseason competition.

After watching as their rivals have piled up playoff appearances and state titles, Sammamish was ready to pull the trigger this time around.

“We have more information and a lot longer to think about all the different scenarios and decisions,” Sammamish athletic director Pat McCarthy said. “We were able to look at how it impacted Interlake and have more of an understanding about what direction we would be going in terms of travel and how classes were affected.”

Assistant football coach Eric Harrington, a member of the Totems’ state-final football team in 1999 (the only in school history to make the tournament) and coach with

of the mission of Z-Girls is to keep young ladies involved in sports long enough to reap the true benefits that come from being part of a team and achieving success in the face of obstacles.

And the importance of the program’s is no overstatement.

The Wolverines downed the three time 5A state champs from the Lone Star State 31-24 in overtime on a Nathan DeRider interception near the sideline.

decisively shifted from the days of the “Crossroads Maulers” winning KingCo football titles and eventual MLB stalwart John Olerud leading the baseball program to its only state championship.

Art Kuehn, who led Cedarcrest to the 2A state football playoffs in the 1990s and also played in the NFL for the Seahawks, became the athletic director at Interlake during the 2004-05 school year. He said there is no doubt the move to 2A and corresponding results have changed the perception of the school’s sports teams within the building and at least begun to reconcile the athletic and academic cultures.

“Since we moved to 2A, we’ve had quite a bit of success,” Kuehn said. “Success breeds confidence and confidence breeds a happy school.”

Sammamish has an even more unique culture within its student body, with 32 percent classified as economically disadvantaged, seven percent more than any other high school in the district. It is also the smallest school in the BSD, a title it has held since the 2008-09 school year. But those challenges are nothing new for the Totems.

Harrington said the difference in the state championship year and the downtrodden seasons since is a collective consciousness in the student body and tight-knit relationships that reach back to childhood. He emphasized that it only takes one especially close group of seniors to provide the spark that can ignite school and community support for a team.

“We had 12 or 13 seniors that year that all grew up playing together and all wanted it since their first day of football,” Harrington said. “We still haven’t had the seasons we’ve wanted to have, so getting those kids to come back even though they’re struggling has been tough.”

But with an abbreviated road to the playoffs in team sports that will pit Sammamish against 2A Seamount teams and a talent pool in tennis and golf that will be on-par with other 2A competition at districts and state, that struggle could pay off.

According to the American Psychiatric Association, three times as many teen females attempt suicide than teen males..

For Ludlow and Higgins, providing a positive message and community for girls is a way to expand their passion for sports and share in their own lifechanging experiences. But for the girls who attend, the experience could be life-saving.

Game Day: Seahawks take on Arizona RECORD/ SCHEDULE Seahawks Record Seahawks fans hoping to see the familiar sight of running back Marshawn Lynch ripping opposing defenses in the team’s season opener on Sunday in Arizona may have to wait another week.

Head coach Pete Carroll announced at his weekly press conference on Wednesday that Lynch was still dealing with the back spasms that kept him out of the final two preseason games and would be evaluated throughout the rest of the week, leaving open the possibility he would not play.

If Lynch, who recorded the first 1,000 yard rushing season in six years for the franchise in 2011, is unable to go, rookie fourth round draft pick Robert Turbin will likely take the bulk of the carries in his first regular season NFL action. He finished the preseason with 165 yards and one touchdown on 38 carries.

Rookie quarterback Russell Wilson will make his regular season debut for the Seahawks as well, and will be matched against an Arizona group that returns nine of its starters from last year. Wilson’s playmakers on the outside have been making news as well, with tight end Kellen Winslow released earlier in the week and wide receiver Golden Tate sidelined with an injury he sustained in the final preseason game against the Oakland Raiders.

The remaining tight ends are former USC star Anthony McCoy and last year’s

But with a more seasoned offensive line and the possibility of a dominant running game if Lynch is healthy, along with the quick development of Wilson, the passing game could also make strides in 2012.

Running backs Beenie Wells and Ryan Williams are both healthy to begin the season and the always dangerous Larry Fitzgerald will also present a stiff test for the heralded Seattle secondary.

PSPINC was started in an apartment on Mercer Island by our founder, Ken Uchikura in July 1987, with his vision to take American software technology and products to Japan. But it wasn’t what he really wanted- he really wanted to build a company that developed software products on its own, instead of selling others’ software products in Japan. So in the mid-90’s, Ken decided to shift PSPINC’s gears to focus on software development, and chose the Internet as a platform to deliver our technology. Today, we provide web/email hosting and other internet services to over 38,000 companies, who all use our software technologies on our servers.

A

A domain is like your last name- a unique name used on the Internet. It is what you see in your address bar after the “www.” in your web browser, and it is what comes after the “@” in an email address. Web hosting is a service that makes your website available to others on the internet. The home pages are stored on a server, which is available 24/7. It takes more than a server to keep your website running. For example, you will need a statistics program to analyze your website, and a program that will let you manage the content. Our job is not only to keep the servers running 24/7, but to make sure to provide all of the programs our customers need to maintain their websites.

Q A

What are the advantages of having web and email hosting?

When you are building a website for your business, it is possible to purchase your own server to host your website. To do this however, you would need to invest in some high-end hardware for your web server and have a high-speed connection running 24/7; you also need to be able to invest many hours into maintaining your server, worrying about downtime, and dealing with viruses on a going basis. Some people choose to have their web and/or email servers in-house but if the server goes down, you probably have to go into the office regardless of the day or hour to keep it up and running.

We monitor all of our servers and have our own staff available to do this for you. Even if there is a problem on the server, we will get it fixed without you even noticing it.

Q

What makes you different from other web hosting companies?

PSPINC

A

We can serve you better because we develop our own software programs and monitor all servers ourselves. All of our staff are local– we don’t outsource anything anywhere. PSPINC is a local company that is committed to outstanding customer service, we are ready to help in-person, always.

Q

Are your services expensive?

A

PSPINC’s services are affordable to both small and large businesses. We feel that our products and services offer great value to our clients.

What we offer is not just server hosting– we provide customer service to make things easier for any business.

We are able to work with you to find the best package to meet your business goals.

Q

Can you build and update websites?

A

Yes we can! We have a team of web designers who will work with you to create your ideal site- it all is up to you and your budget. We also provide a free website builder tool with our hosting service, which is very user-friendly and will help you build and update mobile sites.

Q

Who are some of your clients?

A

PSPINC’s clients range from small to large businesses. We also work with associations and non-profit organizations. Those we have helped include: • Republic Parking / www.rpnw.com • Uwajimaya / www.uwajimaya.com • Morris Piha ( Real Estate ) / www.mpiha.com • Seattle Executive Organization / www.seattleexecs.org • Alaskan Leaders Foundation (NPO) / www.alaskanleaderfoundation.org • Alaskan Leaders Seafoods / www.alaskanleaderseafoods.com • Lenny Wilkens Foundations / www.lennywilkensfoundation.org • FSMG / www.financialservicesmg.net

ST. LOUISE CHURCH 141 - 156th SE, Bellevue 425-747-4450 Weekday Masses:

Mildred Olena Gillie of Bellevue, Washington died Wednesday, August 29, 2012 at Overlake Hospital. She was 91 years old.

At her request, no services will be held.

Mildred, who was known to most as “Doodlebug” or simply “Doodle” was born to Anton and Lillian Freng in Shelby, Montana on February 19, 1921. She was the youngest of five children. The nickname was given to her at childhood by oil workers in the area where she lived. Doodlebug is a term for devices used to find underground oil, such as dowsing rods. The name forever stuck.

Doodle has always been very self reliant. She raised four children. As a riveter she built airplanes. After the passing of her husband Don Gillie in 1982 she managed a number of semitrucks they had owned. She has always been well known for her strong spunk and spirit. In later years she took every opportunity to travel the world.

Mildred loved her family very much and is survived by three of her children, Beverly Jean Gilstad of Missoula, Montana, Howard Kenneth Shelton of Bothell,Washington, and Lee David Gillie of Spokane, Washington.

She was predeceased by her son Larry LaVern Isaacson. Mildred was proud to have 10 grandchildren, 14 great grand children, and 2 great, great-grandchildren.

Milt graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in business and worked for Bethlehem Steel and Bloch Steel in purchasing for many years. After his career in the steel industry he went into business for himself as a wholesale broker of surplus goods.

Milt is preceded in death by his oldest son, Scott Sessions and is survived by Coralie Sessions, his wife of 61 years, three sons, Mark, Todd, and Dean Sessions, and his daughter Julie Wolfe.

For Dental Implant Treatment, it’s a ClearChoice!

ClearChoice team of specialists brings you a dental implant solution that fits your budget ... in just one day!* A LEADER IN DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT Virtually every adult will lose a tooth, and as we get older, more Americans will suffer with missing and failing teeth. These days, however, there are dental implant solutions that either didn’t exist in the past or which were difficult to access. But now, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers are leading the way in innovative dental implant treatments. Dental Implants are a permanent solution for dental problems. And now your treatment, from our team of specialists, can often be accomplished in just one day *… and without the need for additional bone graft surgeries. In fact, dental implants can last a lifetime and have become the treatment of choice for replacement of missing and failing teeth. With more than 10,000 dental implant procedures performed, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers have become a leader in dental implant treatment delivery.

TECHNOLOGY Every ClearChoice Dental Implant Center includes an on-site 3D CAT Scan.

The 3D CAT Scan technology costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. This technology provides three-dimensional and cross-sectional views that allow ClearChoice doctors to examine the quality and density of the bone that will anchor the dental implants; select the correct type and size of implants; determine the precise placement of implants, and avoid the nerves and sinuses.

Since every smile is custom designed, each ClearChoice Center has a specialized Dental Implant in-house lab to custom make your smile.

They said they had specialists, a lab, and high tech equipment all at one location, but I had no idea that they could really do all of this in just one day!* — Actual ClearChoice patient

Custom fabrication of the patient’s new smile and replacement teeth are accomplished by trained lab technicians in the on-site dental implant lab.

SATISFACTION & WARRANTY Whether for a missing single tooth, multiple teeth or a whole mouthful of missing or failing teeth, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers provide comprehensive implant treatment professionally and affordably in a fraction of the time it would take many other professionals. That’s why in an independent study of thousands of patients, ClearChoice patients would overwhelmingly recommend ClearChoice to others† and we warranty our work.

“I suffered with bad teeth since I was a teenager. Imagine dealing with failing teeth so young in life. As a musician, I’m often in front of an audience. I wanted a rock star smile ... and now I have one.”
