Affordable Dentures - Dentures Review from Yucca Valley, California

Re: Anonymous complaint of needing dentures relined. ALWAYS send a written statement of your issue to the company. Be exact of what relief you are seeking. For example, obtain 3 estimates for replacement of ruined dental work. Send these documents to a specific person at company (this takes some investigative work - include $ amt for time, mileage, etc). Spend your timetaking positive action. While you wait a reasonable time for replies make a journal of the issue. Find out the amt in Florida for small claims court. Hopefully the company will work with you rather than loose business. GOOD LUCK!

Or how about just starting with a reputable dentist who does not work for a high-volume denture clinic and avoiding problems altogether?

Left with terrible pain

I went to have a tooth pulled and have a partial denture made. I was left in the room for over an hour then the dentist came in and looked at my teeth and told me that they were all loose and needed to be pulled because they would all fall out eventually. I had already lost two more teeth to the mystery illness since I had never even had but one filling and my teeth were in good shape I had a hard time understanding his thinking and questioned him repeatedly. He assured me by putting it off I was only delaying the unavoidable . So I paid them 600 dollars and set the appointment for the next day. When I got there a different dentist from another office was in the room and informed me that he was filling in for the other dentist. They numbed my mouth with several shots and they made sure I felt nothing. However after they had pulled my teeth he stated they were hard to Pull he did not usually pull peoples teeth in that good condition. Then he told me because I had a shallow pallet I would have problems with dentures fitting and would always have to use glue. He then told me that my wisdom teeth were impacted and that they would start to come in later. The key is he never said anything until after the last of my upper teeth came out. Then I was given a temporary denture to wear. I went back three times for adjustments and felt they resented helping me. My self esteem has suffered greatly and I feel the poor fitting dentures made me look and feel much older than I am. I never got my problem solved and am currently seeking another dentist to fix their mess. My wisdom teeth have now started to come in under my already poorly fitting denture adding to my pain and suffering. I would not send a stray dog to this place.

What's this about "self esteem?" Stop whining. You appear to be much too young to be so concerned about self esteem.

You should be much more worried about why your teeth were so loose in the first place at your age----you said the wisom teeth had not erupted yet, so I assume you are under age 30 or so. To have more than one loose tooth in your mouth is a symptom of something either physiological----body health-wise---or peridontal disease or even a lack of one or more vitamins or minerals. For examply, a lack of adequate Vitamin C brings on scurvy which causes loose teeth among other problems. In other words, instead of just pulling teeth, you need to find out what is/was wrong with you to cause this oral problem.

A good medical doctor would be a start, as would be another dentist who is not so quick to pull teeth.

You need to get yourself some help and soon. Good luck.

Affordable Dentures Disrespected African American Customer in Jackson, TN

My daughter, husband, and I went to visit the Affordable Dentures office in Jackson, TN on Christmasville Rd a week ago. I paid for some lower partial dentures to be made by this office. The partial dentures were extremely painful to *** down on and the partials felt like they were choking me. As I voiced my concerns, I was directed to speak with the dentist, Lucy Digman. When I brought my concerns to Ms. Digman, she became irate. She started yelling at me and telling me that she was not going to listen to me. I asked for a refund, and she screamed “Come on.” She abruptly stormed her way around the corner toward the front desk as she shouted to the receptionist “Give her, her money back.”

My daughter was in the back with her dad who was also picking up dentures he had paid for. My daughter heard Lucy Digman and the staff talking about me. Lucy Digman said that she got rid of me. A staff member said that I was asking them to do something that was impossible. That staff member and Digman made motions with their hands as if they were throwing trash into a garbage can as they said “That’s what you should do, just get rid of them”. My daughter told them that I had a right to voice my dissatisfaction about the parcels that were hurting my mouth and that I only wanted an alternative. Lucy Digman yelled at my daughter and told her that she could leave the office if she (my daughter) did not like how they were treating me. I came back around the corner because of the commotion. Digman started shouting at the both of us that we had better leave. She also was shouting for the staff to call the police because she wanted us out of the office.

After contacting the Affordable Dentures 1800 complaint line, I was told that the Jackson office said that my daughter and I were yelling in the office. We were not yelling. The only person who was yelling was the dentist (Lucy Digman). She acted very unprofessional, she talked down to us, and treated us as if we were animals that she despised. She handled herself as if she were a Pit-bull that wanted to attack. Her behavior was very hostile and irrational.

Please beware! This is not an office to visit, especially if you are an African American who believes in voicing dissatisfaction about dental work that you have paid for. If you want to be treated with respect and valued as a customer, find another office to receive dental treatment that does not have dentists like Lucy Digman working for them! Don’t allow their mission statement to deceive you. I didn’t receive services with courtesy and respect.

Why is it that a white person makes a complaint and they are just as angry with the treatment they get, but with an 'African American' they are disrespected and it's racist. Something doesn't sound right to me either.

As an African American I can tell you it happens a lot. Some white people just don't want to touch African American people.

I had one (I have had several racist dentists) who refused to make a partial for me. He said that the only person that would be able to tell I had missing teeth in the back is my boyfriend. I don't know what he meant by that and I don't recall telling him that I had a boyfriend. In fact I'm sure I wasn't dating anyone at the time.

He treated me so bad that even his wife was shocked. He basically showed me the door. I'm glad he did that rather than take my money and give me a horrible job like some dentists have done. I have also had a couple of really bad black dentists.

Most dentists don't rate too great as doctors. They smile until they snatch your money and then you are on your own.

Guest

I did not intend to rate this as bs, It sounds credible to me.

Im from Clarksville, Tn and had the best care from Affordable Dentures in Dickson, Tn...The staff and Dr Speer where the best..Thanks for the smile that i've missed for so long :grin

I am from Dickson, TN and have visited Affordable Dentures twice. The first time, the staff was fairly nice but the dentist himself was horrible.

He talked to me like he was better than me and like I was just a piece of trash that happened to be in his office that day. I went ahead and got everything I had paid for, which was a few teeth pulled and a partial, and I told myself I would never return there. Since that episode happened, Affordable Dentures has now got a new dentist. The time eventually came when I needed more teeth pulled and a full set of dentures.

I figured that since they had a new dentist, it would probably be ok to go there again. Boy, was I wrong. I was put in the chair to begin my procedure. The woman started deadening my mouth for the procedure.

Well, she did not have my mouth deadened nearly enough and started trying to pull my teeth. Of course, it hurt like crazy and I groaned fairly loudly as it really, really hurt. I was trying my best to keep quiet as the waiting room was just one wall away from where I was. She did not try to deaden my gums more but instead kept on trying to pull the teeth, stating that she did not have to stand there and listen to me and that she would send me home.

By this time, that sounded like the very thing that should happen, because she did not know what she was doing, in my opinion, and proved that with each word that came out of her mouth. She finally got the other dentist to try and pull my teeth and he did a pretty good job after some intense deadening to my mouth, thank goodness. I now have a temporary pair of dentures that I have to put a third of a tube of glue on to just wear. I must say, though, that the lady that does the adjustments is very nice and just wants to do a good job and have a happy customer, unlike the woman 'dentist', who doesn't seem to care.

All in all, I have ran into five of the staff that were very nice. The boy that was behind the counter was, in my opinion, very, very rude. His attitude came across like he doesn't have the time to help a customer, but it seems that he just wants to set there like he is mad at the world for some reason. I really wish that I had went somewhere else.

Getting dentures is a traumatic event in someones life and it can be made worse, much worse, by a dentist that is not a good one and does not know how to treat people. I certainly hope that I will not have to deal with the woman 'dentist' when I return to get my permanent set of dentures, because I don't know how nice I can make myself be to a person like that.

When a business calls law enforcement on a customer, 99.999% of the time it's the customer who is wrong. Don't know what you did, lady, but I'll bet you're not telling the whole story here and you're sugar coating your part.

You also pulled the race card without any explanation of what made you feel this is racially related. That also makes me feel you're just pissed because you didn't get your way as you tried for an over the top, impossible solution.

Really. I get so tired of hearing racist and disrespected.

Everything isn't about race. A lot of it is about rude business practices, mad customers or maybe just rude customers.

It's not fair for customers to be treated *** but stop pulling the race card because it's happening to me right now. I feel like I am being treated rude and disrespectful but I can't say racist.

Guest

I am sorry that woman had to go through that! It is a shame that a company would treat their customers that way!

It is sad that Affordable Dentures would allow this dentist to work for their company. That dentist is a liablity for the company and she sends a negative message and that says a lot about Affordable Dentures in Jackson, TN.

Guest

Be 4 real, you’re making it something it’s not. People are not crying wolf or playing a race card because they state their race.

They are just telling it like it is. The issue is about the standards of this company, which are horrible.

Dental Service Review

I went to one in Franklin Indiana and they were awesome! I had been wearing a set made somewhere else & they were as bad as it gets. From these people I got amazingly realist, high quality set for half the price as the other guys! Sorry this isn't a complaint but if people r going to make decisions, should have all the info available!

RIP OFF!!! Money taken and refused to refund or provide service/item.

DISAPPOINTED!!! Paid for dentures in full a few years ago and was told that I was unable to get my permanent dentures due to additional dental work the Dentist thought I needed to have done. Went back several times and each time was told that I needed even more work performed by another Dentist. Recently my temporary cracked and I contacted the facility for my permanent dentures. Called at 8:00am and was told that they would call back today. Explained my situation and that it was dire, also that I was willing to pay the difference because of possible price increase. I now have moved two hours away and would like an answer early so that I can make the trip timely. Didn’t receive a call back until 5:00pm. Was told that I would need to pay the full amount which is the same as it was when I paid a few years back $895. First, you could have told me at 8am that I would need to pay the full amount, so that I could have made other arrangements to go to another facility. Secondly, why should you get a gift of $900 and I receive nothing in return. How is that good customer service? I’m in the medical field and would never take advantage of my patient. I do not understand what you have given to just take my money. I now have to find another facility and pay them for services and for an item I have already paid for. Thanks a lot.

BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH THE WORK DONE

BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAVE HAD DENTURES MADE AT AFFORDABLE DENTURES IN HARRISBURG,PA DR MANN & HER STAFF WERE VERY PLEASANT. WE HAVE HAD TO HAVE ADJUSTMENTS MADE AND THEY WERE DONE VERY PROFFESIONALLY. WE HAVE NO COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE HARRISBURG OFFICE. I KNOW YOU CAN`T PLEASE EVRYONE ALL THE TIME BUT THIS OFFICE MAKES THE EFFORT. WE HAD CUSTOM PLATES MADE AND HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFIED WITH THEM. MY WIFE HAS VERY LITTLE RIDGE FOR THE PLATES TO FIT TIGHT BUT DR, MANN HAS WORKED HARD TO MAKE HER COMFORDABLE WITH THEM.I AM HAPPY WITH MY TEMP BOTTOM PLATE.

Excellent Service at Affordable Dentures Yuba City CA

Updated by user Jan 09, 2014

6 Upper extractions and full top dentures.

Original review Jan 09, 2014
I had six upper extractions and a full upper denture made. I have had nothing but excellent experience with Dr Bezad. I go back in about week to get my permanent upper. They have done a reline on my heeling denture and even my lower partial which they did not even make. No extra charges. They billed by insurance and I paid the difference. I saved a ton of money by going through them and their New Denture Wearer Package. The healing process takes about six months, but I received my healing dentures the same day. My smile is awesome now.

I received upper and lower dentures after having my teeth extracted in Shreveport, La. I have no complaints.

I am extremely pleased with the both the care I received and my new teeth. You can't tell they're dentures and the fit is excellent.

SLOW DENTIST!!!

What else is there to say?? St Charles mo. The assistants where very helpful,but the dentist seems like she has never did dentures at all..This lady is so slow,it makes a jar of honey look fast! I am worried if the Affordable Denture place goes under,where do I go to get my final set?? I went to the denture place that was close to me,will I have to drive an hr to my next appointment? Just check out the complaints on this site,which is something that I never got around to do..So again,i would not advise anyone to go to this denture place,and if you do,bring a book and lunch and supper.you will be there for awhile..,.

Dr Mark Adams wonderful personalty and attentive to patient concerns. Staff other than reception the same style as Dr. Adams.

My only concrrn being as It was never explained to me if the receptionist is perhaps a trained tech but seems to me sharing possibly self learned information and does not consider patient privacy.

The oral surgeon that completed all of my removals and his tech were extremly

Impressed with appearend and fit of my "economy" tempoary dentues AND with the follow up procedures in the package deal.

Oerall very good experience and will refer friends.

Guest

I went there for Dental Work I needed done for my cancer Treatment. 10 minutes and $90 later.

The Dentist said he could not help me. What a joke.

Check consultation prices up front. Do not use this Company.
