An ok dental dental office and ok dentist

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
In my experience, the dentist in charge is a very good dentist, his downfall is in allowing some practitioners to finish the products and this results in a very poor fitting denture. The office needs to closely monitor the assistants in order to assure that the dentures are properly finished, in my opinion, my dentures would have been much better if the assistants had kept their hand off of them. Unfortunately, my dentures have failed after three years, the o-rings have become defective and in need of replacement, I will though, return to Sun City, Az Affordable dentures for a replacement. Have no more to write, but this review window keeps asking to write at least one hundred words, it is becoming annoying!

Affordable dentures gave me a crooked smile.

I went to affordable dentures in Columbus ohio. I had already had den tures and was looking to replace my old ones. I forgot to bring my old dentures with me so the girl told me she would have to use a mold. But the dentist said forget it. And put some pink plastic in my mouth, pressed up with in the middle with one finger and sent me on my way. Dentures were done in a few hours. But because I bought the economy dentures which cost 600 they were not nice looking. The teeth were dull and shouted plastic dentures. They also didn't fit well. I went back to see what they could do.. The girl put a hard liner in both. Now not only are they too thick. But they make my mouth go down so far on the right side, people ask if I have had a stroke. I am a poor working girl and thought they could help me. Now I will probably have to go some place else and charge more dentures. I am very unhappy.

Go to a dentist in private practice, not one of these dental mills. What you got were cheap dentures which will not last and an improper fit. A good dentist can do much better, although they will cost more---as expected for a better quality product.

Affordable Dentures - Dentures Repair Review

In 2012 I purchase the most expensive dentures because your pamphlet said they would last 7 to 10 years. So five years down the road I find there's a line across the middle of the front uppers on top of the line the teeth are white below the line they are grey.

Four of the front teeth are like that. I took them in for Doctor Herron to examine and he said he has never seen a problem like this. then blamed me by saying it must be the solution I soak them in .I sat in the office and watched the commercial several times ,the man said use water with a little bit of bleach and that's what I have done for five years if that was causing the problem it would also be on the lowers but it is only on the uppers. Then dr.

Herron went on to say I should be thinking about getting a new set of dentures but these are supposed to last 7 to 10 years and it is only been 5 years.

I will be satisfied if he will replace the two front teeth or give me a partial refund of $300 or a coupon for $300 off the next set of dentures .please respond as soon as possible so I will know what to do next . Ron Edwards

The sun rises. A patient who didn't listen to save his teeth goes to a denture mill to save money.

He is disappointed in the denture.

The sun sets. The day is ended.

Guest what?

Tomorrow the sun will rise and another patient who did not listen will make the same mistake. And the sun will set, and the day will end.

And on and on it will go, until the end of time.

Shtogun Sally, how can you judge without knowing how they got to the point of needing dentures?

Same way as everyone else. Didn't take care of his teeth.

Never listened to anything any of the dentists in his life said to do, like regular 6 month cleanings and checkups.Denture patients are hardheaded cheapskates.

Never can convince them of anything. That is why they lose their teeth and end up at outfits like Affordable Dentures.

Speaking as someone who DID always take care of my teeth, DID go to the dentist, DID spend thousands of dollars having work done to treat teeth; Someone who after becoming fully disabled STILL went as often as finances would allow to save teeth that were damaged due to Sjogrens and epilepsy medications but now has significantly deteriorated teeth due to damage incurred during a grand mal seizure and now needs a top denture- I find your response incredibly short sighted and rude. If most DENTISTS didn't charge outrageous prices for every single thing they do, people might be able to better afford regular dental services and wouldn't have to go to cheap places for dental work.

In case you were unaware, Medicare does not cover dental- at all.

Most people on Medicare are elderly or disabled and receive very little in Social Security benefits. Perhaps you should try to be more helpful and less judgemental.

Well, it's not like you went to a reputable dentist with a long track record of excellent care in your community. You went to a shady joint owned by corporate investors instead of dentists.

You took your chances trying to save a nickel or two on your health care. Look where it has got you.

Will be looking for your next post in three or four months complaining how you cannot wear your new AD dentures.

People would gladly go to a good dentist if they could afford it! It is hardly just a nickel or two that they are trying to save.

Why don't you tell people how much you charge for dentures or an extraction.

Do you ever offer pro bono dental care? Not all private dental practices are honest or good.

I know how much education it takes --so no sob story.

Stay away from.

I have wore dentures for over 25 years and needing another set. I live around trip of 200 mile. Was told the ones I needed was the ultra that cost $1800.00 I thought about it but needed them. Was told to come back next day to get them. Went back again and got them but they had sharp jagged edges and bottom was so wide I had a hard time talking. I showed them my old ones how narrow and smooth they were but was told to take and where them for awhile. I finally left with them and tried to where them but could not. I called to tell them I was bringing them back tomarrow. Went back next day and was told it would have to be after 1 cause she does all surgerys in the mornings on that day. Called at 1 pm and could not cause she will be in surgery all day as they were behind. Drove back the next day and was told they was keeping $500.00 for there time. I asked what about my time driving back and forth. I was ignored. Went home minus the $500.00 plus gas going back and forth. STAY AWAY FROM THEM........

Darn. You drove 200 miles to go to a fleabag corporate denture mill?

WHAT FOR? A quality denture made by an old-timer like me cost the same as what you paid.

What advantage did you gain by going to that "Affordable" Clown Club?

Denture patients are so gullible. Any *** TV commercial promising to save them money they believe like it was written in the Bible.

Maybe a decent dentist can reline the cr@***y denture you got from Affordable so you don't waste all your money.

I bet you drove by 10 offices of competent dentists on your long trip to Affordable!

Just up loaded pictures it of my "new" smile, minus the lowers. Lowers never fit right.

Updated by user Jul 26, 2016

Included you can see pictures of my uppers. That square cut in the middle of the gum cuts after being worn for awhile. I attempted to upload both bill from Memphis and Nashville, only the second dental visit showed up.

Original review Jul 25, 2016
I went to Affordable with my tax check hope to finally get a great smile. 10 teeth needed extracting, the dentist was wonderful with this, we had no problems.

She fitted me with the "immediate" denture, the tech was helpful in letting me know what she was doing and what to expect. Went home, while waiting for my gums to heal I got an infection (dry socket), my own fault. By the time I finally went back I still could not keep the immediate dentures in so I had to wait some more. I had received the bill...$1550, package paid in full.


Being disabled my children moved me to Nashville to help care for me and we transferred the package there, thinking no problem. I had to wait til I saved more money to get my final dentures owed to me. I paid another $250, $775 was credited for my custom set. This is where my problem occurred!

I thought getting the customs the teeth would be a more natural size and that space between my teeth would finally be gone! Well I will admit the space is gone...so is my smile plus the "gums" part of the uppers was cut square on one side and the lowers hurts so bad even to just try.

I was so upset I cried on the way home.

Affordable Dentures - Customer Care Review

Made appointment with kannapolis affordable dentures for adjustment, got there early to fill out paperwork, completed questionnaires turned in to desk and waited my turn. After about 1 1/2 hours was last to be called , went in sat in dental chair and then I was told because they didn't make the partial they couldn't make any adjustments with out paperwork from other office. The girl that made the appointment new it was my first visit. The boss lady who informed me the girl was fairly new didn't know their policy. After they argument in back I was informed I had just wasted 2 hours of my time. I think the whole staff is incompetent. I don't know if there was a real dentist there or not.

So how much did going to the other Affordable Dentures office really save you, now that you will have to travel back there to get any adjustments?

Rochester office is terrible

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I totally agree with you. I was not happy with the office or doctor or care that I received. The dentist was very rough, my first appointment when I got my implants I had my mouth and lower face pulled and prodded so hard I tried to explain to them but to no avail. That night I had a black and blue area the size of a baseball by my mouth. I am a female and have a very small mouth and on each of my additional visits the dentist complained of such a small mouth to work in. My one implant was put in on a definite angle and I now do not have a good ***. He wrote in big letters on my paperwork, "*** IS OFF'. I have learned my lesson and will not look for the cheapest health care again.

Especially I hope you never think of going to another cheap place for implants. "Cheap" and "Implants" don't belong in the same sentence.

Prediction: At least one implant will fall out within a year.

Also, good luck finding a good dentist who can do something with the implants that Affordable put in. Eventually, you will end up having a qualified dentist do the whole job over again.

They should change their name to UNETHICAL INCOMPETENT DENTISTRY

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I booked my appointment with the elderly, Dr Ganley from green bay affordable dentures after being refereed to her by the affordable dentures corporate head Virginia Howards *who by the way wont return phone calls* as i was having issues with the service(or lack there of) i was receiving from the affordable dentures in milwaukee with dr donnie rivera. The finally agreed to do a full refund so i set up my appointment for green bay almost a month in advance.

Today was my appointment, as prompted, i arrived on time, and filled out the paperwork they asked me to do. they sat me in the dentist chair where i got the pleasure of waiting for 45 minutes for this old hag to come in. Finally the "doctor" arrives in my room, asks me my name, and goes right into telling me she's not accepting me as a patient as i called corporate on my last dentist, and she "didnt want to get involved with that"

in other words, let me sum this up for you. instead of telling me this over the phone, i drove 4 hours with my family and took off of work to be told by this old bat she wouldnt handle my treatment because she feared me sharing feedback on her work.

THAT should speak volumes to you right there!!! She was rude, and unpleasant, and completely unethical on her timing of telling me that i wouldn't be getting my teeth taken care of. because of her, i'm requesting a full refund and going to aspen dental. i'd rather pay out of my nose than be treated like a *** pawn in this doctor against patient game they have going on.

dont bother calling corporate, not only is virgina howard wrong about most of the information she gave me, she also did me the solid pleasure of setting me up with an appointment with a doctor that was unwilling to see me. slow clap guys, you lost my business!!!!!!!!!!!

The most amazing part of your story is you drove 4 hours to go to a crumby clinic like this. No telling how many good dentists could have made good dentures for you within 5 miles of where you live. Are you seeking the crumbiest places to get dental care on purpose?

I actually did go to Aspen Dental. I was trying to do this on a budget in 2015 when my entire ordeal began, and if you read the beginning i was beyond happy with the treatment i got from my first dentist at affordable dentures.

the work performed was done well, and correct, and the dentures provided were to my liking. i had no issues with this office until the managing dentist changed. the issue here is NOT the work done, it was the manor and service that was given after the change to Dr Rivera.

I did decide to go to Aspen Dental for my final set. I love my dentist and his bedside manor.

he's not continuously trying to sell me something, but i will say, his ComfyLyte dentures are coming in right under 4 grand. Top of the line dentures at affordable dentures ran me 1,630$ that's more than half the cost. I apologize for only being able to slam $5050 for my work to get done. i chose a change in office to see if i could simply change treating dentists.

That's totally within reason, considering all my work was paid for in cash, a transfer of offices would allow me to utilize my funds.

so to answer your question, no i was not in the market for the crumbiest place to get dental care from, i was in search of fixing my oral needs without selling my first born to do so. (duh) Thanks for the feedback!!

Guess you did not read the scores of complaints against Aspen Dental about teeth falling out of the Comfylyte dentures.The material does not bond to denture teeth as well as conventional methyl-methacrylate normal dentists use.

Gosh for the amount your spent at Aspen you could have had a prosthodontist fabricate dentures. And you think corporate chains save you money, or are TV ads just so convincing for you????

Such clinics are revolving doors for employee dentists. Next time you go to Aspen with a denture problem, that nice dentist will be long gone.

How funny is this?

You go to one sleazy Affordable Denture office which screws things up. You get a refund, and what do you do?

BOOK AN APPOINTMENT WITH ANOTHER AFFORDABLE DENTURES, THINKING IT WILL BE DIFFERENT THERE!

When the inevitable happens and they cannot please you, you plan a trip to the biggest dental scammers on the planet, ASPEN DENTAL! Evidently you never bothered to look up the denture complaints against those vipers on this very website!

Never in a thousand years will you have intelligence to go to a decent dentist who can give you good treatment.

You only think of going to seedy denture mills trying to cheap out for treatment.

What you will find at Aspen is they will never, ever give you a refund. Don't say I didn't warn you.

You think I use my real last name trying to warn patients about these rip-off artists? I've made dentures for longer than you have been alive, lady.

And I am not shopping for patients.

The gist of it lady is you think shopping for dentures is like shopping for lawn mowers at Wal-Mart. It's not. Trade names mean nothing. These chains employ whoever will work for their tiny paychecks at the moment.

Occasionally they happen upon a competent dentist who works there for awhile. Mostly they don't.

I know independent dentists who make wearable dentures for a couple thousand or even less. You probably passed 3 or 4 of them on your way to the chain clinics.

By the way, you were taken for a ride with Comfylyte dentures. There is nothing better about them.

In fact, they are more likely for denture teeth to fall out of them. AND they can't be relined! (Bet they did not tell you that, did they?) That is why most dentists don't fool with nylon-based dentures.

The only reason Aspen upsold them to you was to fleece you for more money. Lady, you paid more for those dentures at Aspen than you would have at an office like mine or any other honest independent dentist.

Dentures fall apart right away ,they charge high cost to repair

My husband got dentures at Affordable Dentures in Jacksonville FL and they started falling apart after 6 months ! Just 6 months and they were their top of the line product.

He is now on the third time they have broken, teeth fell out etc. They don't care, they will not replace them no matter how *** the workmanship. Definitely NOT the place to go for dentures EVER! The guarantee they offer is very limited at best.

The dentures he had before that ( quality ones) lasted almost 20 years before he had to have them replaced. A dental place should be ashamed to make such shoddy dentures.

He spoke to a woman in the waiting room the last time he went for denture repair and hers had broken or fallen apart 5 times. The last time my husbands broke it cost him $150.00 just to have a tooth cemented back in the denture !!!

Choose ONE:

1. Cheap dentures made quickly of cheap materials, omitting important steps in fabrication.

2.

Great dentures fabricated over a month or so using quality materials with care. These will cost a bit of money.

You cannot find option #2 at bargain basement prices.

What a nightmare for me I went there and had both upper and lower teeth pulled and they put dentures in that do not fit. The top denture does fit now but the lower dentures I have never been able to wear since day 1. I kept going back for adjustments which never did any good finally they decided to make another lower denture, it fit a little better but by the time I got home they had rubed a sore on my lower gum went back they did an adjustment made it down the road and my mouth started hurting in the same place turned around and went back she adjusted she said, but still had the same problem amnd try to eat with them what a sad joke. I made another appointment only to be told that I had 2 choices spend 75.00 for a cushion or wait until Nov. 1st. to get them relined other than that do not bother them. I ended up calling Medicaid cause they are paying for this and was told that it was my fault and that I should have not went there and after listening to Billie at the fraud and waste number that u are suspose to call in Raliegh NC I ended up asking her if medicade and affordable dentures had a scam going on where they rip off mediciad customers. I told her that my medicaid should not have to pay for dentures that will not fit. Finally she gave me a number to call in Mars Hill that I did that said, I needed to go to another dentist for a second opinion and they are suspose to be sending me some papers to fill out complaining against addorfordable dentures. They have ruined my life I do not want to go out in public and I cannot eat. this is unreal and u receive no help for being done wrong unreal.

Clyde I went to affordable dentures as a result of falling due to my MS and knocked out my front teeth. I paid $1575 for a partial to replace these teeth.

No government or tax payer anything but MY hard earned money! Unfortunately I am no longer able to work because of my MS and just so you know the government tax payers money will now pay for most every level of quality you may purchase!

Just to let you know small minded people like yourself are the problem for many people that can’t afford good dental care but aren’t eligible for your “tax payer” money! That is sickening

Expect taxpayers to pay for your denture, and see what sort of crumby result you get.Why you think the government should pay for neglect of your teeth is beyond understanding. You want good dentures? Earn the money and pay a decent dentist to do it right.

Regardless of what is done or how it's paid for.whe you get get a pay check for doing something you should do it correctly.

That place has been a life saver for me numerous times and I actually have had nothing but good experiences there but I will say they try to see to many people they could see just a few less and it would he an even better experience.
