Make me *** every time I try to wear them.

I had the most expensive set after my teeth were pulled. I was given a temporary to wear for a year until my gums shrunk.

I couldn't wear them and ended up losing nearly 50 pounds after July 2012. In April 2013, I had company coming so said I wanted my permanent teeth. They acquiesed, but instead of it being an improvement, they were as bad or worse than the temporary one. I guess I should be happy, I've lost 65 pounds since 2012!

Every time I try to wear them, I *** I made an appointment to have them adjusted, appointment for 10:30 a.m., but after waiting for more than 2 hours, I walked out and have not gone back. The teeth are off center, one side has two molars, other side has only one, so they look awkward besides not fitting properly.

The dentist and his aides were very pleasant, but their technician is unskilled. I would NEVER recommend this company.

Dentist just agrues with me about everything

Dentist just agrues with me when I tell him the teeth are too short and they do not fit right, they hurt and no suction/ they just will not listen and argue. I ordered the best bottom partial and top Denture. the bottoms broke and they won't make me a new one. I purchased the best one and the quality was bad, cheap junk. I wore the horrible first denture for a year and got my permanent denture in August they don't fit. the teeth are way to short and look awful, and they won't stay in my mouth without denture adhesive. My sister-in-law came with me so she could tell them what she thought about them but they would let her come in. Why? they don't want a witness. She wanted to tell them what a bad job and how short they are they look bad, not like me at all. I just want a full refund so I can get some made somewhere else.

I had my teeth for 12 days and two of the front teeth fell out so when I went in to get them fixed I told them the teeth didn't fit right and were still to short.

I went in again on Friday Nov.8th and tried to get them to make them Longer and they wouldn't stay in. And again the dentist argued I told him his teeth were longer and I didn't want them so short He said "just how much longer do you want them 1cm or 2cm?" I'm like about 2cm and he said thats too long! so I said can you show me the length of 2cm? Its not much. He said I'll just take care of it!. He made a new wax pair to try in and wanted me to sign that they were OK, I said they are a little longer and the *** feels better but now but the eye teeth were pointed like vampire teeth and he said just concentrate on the *** and got mad and left the room I told the tech I didn't want to sign the paper until he told me the teeth would be corrected and he came bursting in said he obviously couldn't help me and he was giving me a refund. I just wanted a better look and fit. I checked around and there is no way I can replace them for the partial refund he is offering me. Now what do I do? I have never had such a rude dentist in my life..

Guest

lol ! this is really a ridiculous and pathetic job done by them.

Hope now you got new dentures as u wished for. :grin :p

Guest

Sorry for your experience,

Got the low budget dentures and have had to return 4 times for four different teeth they have fallen out. Loss of work , pay, and anxiety to return again and again in a 7 week period

Thought if i got the low budget and took care to keep them realigned they would last more than a week at a time.

It's just like shopping at the dollar tree. Didn't have the funds to do better and no Insurance. Really screws with the self esteem stuff.

The display of the staff empathy was placating and still no resolvement as another tooth has fallen out 3 days ago. I'm fallen in the 90 day gurantee catagory. What a flipping headache if I have to move forward with small claims.

I had my permenant teeth for 12 days when two of the front teeth fell out.

Guest

I work for a dentist who only does dentures and we hear stories like this all the time. We always suggest one contacts the state dental board and lodges a complaint before heading to small claims court. I really hate to say it but when it comes to dental work, you get what you pay for so if you go to the cheapest dentist then you will usually get less than desirable results and poor service.

Unless you seek legal action on the refund....dont think this doc is gonna budge....as he does not care.

Dentist refuse to do work trying to get more money from me

I saw the dentist every place Dr Gaskin at the affordable dentures in moyock..i went into have one tooth removed and added to my partial.. To begin with they couldn't find my X rays from 3 months ago and we're going to charge me for a new set of xrays until I insisted that they look a little harder and lo and behold there they were.. The nurse blamed it on the lady that does the filing.. I told him from the start that I came in with just enough money for the single extraction and addition to my partial ..he then asks me how i knew what it would cost..i told him i refered to the price list online.i even allowed myself enough in case it was a complex extraction.. The dentist then tells me that the one tooth beside the broken tooth was absess any came to this conclusion by my swollen gums..i refused to believe him..i had no pain or swelling or redness over the good tooth..and i will note that this whole tooth is the one that holds the prong for my partial..coincidence?.i get a single xray of the goid tooth and just as I have guessed..it is fine..he still refuses to pull just the one brojen.. I begg him to be given antibiotics so that i may return next week..he tells me to make sure that I have enough cash next week to have them both pulled.. I see his car in the parking lot...a porsche....

Worst Place ever!

When you have limited money you go to a place that you can afford. Worst mistake i could have made, I have had nothing but problems. I had sets that have broken within 6 months that i had to have redone but now the "new" set is just as bad because when they did the new impression they used the broken dentures so in turn i end up with ill fitting ones that hurt so bad cause the impression still had the lines from the cracks in them from the old set and the *** is totally off on the bottom set since they used the old broken split one for the impression. I have wasted so much money trying to get a good fitting set from this place and am left struggling every day in pain because i need to wait to save money to get a REAL set done from a better place. The people there seem nice at first but by the end of the day when you are trying the dentures on they always give you looks like rushing you out the door and if you complain about the look or fit they get very unhappy if they have to redo it. I will never go back there again. I would rather go in debt from going to a better place then this.

If it has been less than a year, return to the office and they will give you a full refund so that you can go to another office.

Charleston Affordable dentures on Rivers ave Charleston Sc

Under new ownership and dentist James E Cauley.

Horrible experience and attitude of dentist, sub par work Very inconvenient scheduling of special needs people and although advertise they do make accommodations for special needs.

He does not recognize any disability they do not want to.

He is arrogant, rude and take the money first then wont fix the issues.

Went 4 weeks of no solid food and still after going in 6 times ( 2 each visit) not corrected and made to sign no more work although adjustments are "free for 60 days"

Very sad as previous owners/dentist were above average for economy work.

This place has been terrible since the Cauley's took over.

Guest

Read the malpractice verdict:

http://verdictsearch.com/verdict/patient-practice-liable-for-poor-treatment-rendered-by-dentist/

Guest

Dr Cauley lost his lawsuit in GA and the plaintiff we awarded $2.7 Million.

Guest

Dr Cauley was so rude and arrogant to me. I had several broken teeth and my denture impressions hurt he got angry at me and lashed out several times.

After I explained it was hurting me he told me he would give me a full refund and I needed to leave his office. I have never in my life seen a doctor behave in the most despicable horrible rude arrogant way this man did. There are so many complaints on him why isn't the board or bbb doing anything to protect consumers from his viciousness? I was caught totally off guard with this one I'm still in shock!

Please do not give this man your business there are several other places in our area who do dentures and I called them their prices are the same. Affordable dentures is just the name of the building . Should be properly named @hole dentures from ***!!!!

Yea you! Cauley!

Guest

Dr Cauley is RUDE and ARROGANT. His dentures and partials are of a substandard nature.

I left the office in tears and will never return and will never refer anyone to this office again.

My issue was not properly addressed or handled! Horrible experience!

Guest

Dr. Cauley was very rude and I am not happy with results of correcting problem.

Will not be going back there anymore and will not refer anyone else to this office. Very disappointed with the way I was treated.

Guest

I do not know how he is still practicing. He hid after leaving Augusta and then appeared in Atlanta..Alpharetta.

Then screwed people over there and went into hiding again. I think he went to California . He is openly ***..which I have no problem with except when he has his partner who is not trained assist him.This is a shame because he was an artist making veneers and such. He loved that .

He never wanted nor beleived in pulling teeth so doing this is a Big Surprise!!! When people in Augusta find out where he is ...he will run again.

So sad. :?

Guest

Watch out. Legal suits pending in GA.

I worked with him in Atlanta and he's crazy. Had a drug issue too.

Guest

I have been seen by Dr. Cauley and I am very happy with the work I recevied.

He was nice and courteous.

I will go back to him and refer all my friends to him. :)

Very poor fitting dentures

I opted for the economy dentures due to cost and the same-day service. They are my third set since 2000, so I thought I knew what to expect with adjustments. After perhaps my 6th or 7th revisit, I was told what I had was as good as it would be and there was to bo no thought of a refund or evenn partial rebate. I was also told that I wouldn't even be able to *** into a cheeseburger, and don't even consider corn-on-the-cob or ribs. This shouldn't be the case. With both my previous sets I could easily eat both, as long as the adhesive was relatively fresh. On the upside both the dental tech were very pleasant, and I suspect the overall attitude is because of the dentist herself. I would certainly NOT recommend these people or their product, despite their prices.

My main complaint is that I was told I had 60 days of included adjustment visits. This was not the case. Both earlier sets required multiple adjustments too secure a proper fit, and the second was through a dental college.

You got the economy bottom of the barrel dentures. What did you expect?

If you wanted top grade teeth you should of opted for the higher price dentures. You got what you paid for.

Affordable Dentures Claims Another Vicitm - Amarillo Texas

New teeth! Sounds great.

Affordable Dentures? Must be the place to go since ALL they do is dentures. Perfect. Scehdule an appointment for my wife and I.

I went first. Teeth pulled and temporary dentures in place. Horrible fit. Went back at designated time and had adjustments.

Still fit horribly. Temps in for a whole year. Then time for permenant ones. It has been months and I cant were the bottom ones and the top one just dont seem to fit right; to the point my speech has been altered.

I went to a REAL dentist and he tells me they are do not fit properly. They are to long front to back on the top and he said the bottom ones are crooked. We have called and complained and went in for additional adjustments. They just cant be fixed!!!

The new dentures will cost me around $3000.00. So AFFORDABLE DENTURES??? Absolutely not. I didnt mention the terrible service and disrespectful staff.

Nor, the fact I had to see an oral surgeon to graft skin over exposed bone as result of the dentist at A.D. pulling my teeth!!! AVOID Affordable Dentures!!!

In the name is wrong, Jack!!!

Sometimes cheaper is definitely NOT better. Thank you all for saving me from a potential nightmare.

Affordable Dentures

Just want to update you all on my small claims suit that I filed against Affordable Dentures, Cartersville, GA office. When I submitted my claim statement to the Clerk of the Magistrate Court, she told me they had 45 days to respond, and that I would get the signed statement of the day they were served (which I got). I said on my previous complaint, that the day this office was served, they attempted to call the General Dentist that I had to go to (twice) to try to get this piece of *** they put in my mouth fixed (he did the best he could). I have not heard anything from the Magistrate Court until 2 days ago. Affordable Dentures had a law firm out of Atlanta file a motion to dismiss. As I was going through the paperwork, I thought this was their response that I had to answer; NO, the Magistrate Court dismissed the claim due to my failure to respond within a reasonable period of time. What was I supposed to respond to? I never got anything from them, except the paper indicating they were served! Everything that was in the paperwork was nothing but LIES (even that I spelled the dentists name wrong, and it is not Affordable Dentures). Well, I will tell you, I got all this information off their business card; and I did not spell her name wrong, and certainly says Affordable Dentures (with address and phone #). This attorney even said that the venue was wrong and needed to be changed!! Well, I don't know, but Cartersville, GA is in Bartow County, GA, and the office I went to was in Cartersville, GA. I didn't even get the opportunity to present my case with all of my evidence. It was dismissed, and I was not even aware. Yep, this is the kind of company this is. STAY AWAY from Affordable Dentures nationwide, if you don't want waste your time and money, because there is no turning back if you do!!!

Beware of Dr. Jefferson Sims;his surgical error caused an infection resulting in 4 day hospital stay and then he refused to complete denture reline/hardline services which he was paid in full and in advance ($7000)and changed his story with insurance company claiming that i was at fault...patients can not leave teeth in their own gums after extractions...still fighting for justice

Mychal Tjm

I also had the most horrable experience ever.I had 26 teeth pulled at one time.and what was suppose to be a 30 min. proceidure took over 2 hours.

He got down to 4 final teeth to pull the needle he was useing, was not working so he looked at me and said that this was going to hurt, he then leaned over me and pulled them out as I felt all the pain. He then sent me home with no antibotice and when I returned with a severe infection, the other doctor on staff informed me that when pulling that many teeth, it's like having surgery and I needed the antibotics in the beginning. since then,there are so many bone fragments that I'm always in great pain,can't wear my dentures and can only eat soft foods.It has been over a year since this has happened and I'm still in pain and misserable.

Please feel free to e-mail if you get any answers. Thank you,...jbradley143@***.com

Try filing a complaint with the licensing board in GA. Thats what im going to do, i have an appt at affordable tomorrow, this will be their 3rd chance to get the fit correct, then im filing the complaint.

I would love to get eough people together to put a law suit against them and try to shut them down. I dont know how they've gotten away with this for so long!!

My experience was with the Milwaukee Office. I went for the snap on denture.

They placed two iplants in my mouth, a preformed temporary shoved in immediately with the front teeth off to the side and pushing out my lower lip.

The office refused to see me until enough time for them to collect their fee from Care Credit and then the dentist refused to even look in my mouth and refused any further service. After begging him to finish the work, I stupidly returned to the office only to be threatened that if I pursued any further dental work from them they would send their lawyers after me for fraud.

Take you in right away but forget after they got your money

affordable dentures is great at getting you in that day or the next to pull your teeth and make you a temporary but forget getting in quickly when the *** thing don't fit and you need an adjustment. the thing is so uncomfortable and unstable that i can't wear them very long and forget about chewing anything. call them to do some adjustment and they have 2-3 weeks out before they can schedule you for an adjustment. but i'm sure if i said i needed to have a partial made they would get me in today. *** way to handle new denture wearer.

I had a partial done in February and can't get in to get my permanent set

I had a partial put in eye tooth to eye tooth the economy set isn't bad looking . I keep going in the office and they tell me it'll be a couple hours to wait. I don't need an adjustment just put my teeth in. It's been over ten months ! I want to point out that you do not need two sets which is what they raked me in an extra 870 dollars. They also just charged me 525 for each tooth in the front three altogether !!! Philadelphia office on Cottman ave. the office staff is very ignorant including the hygeinist

Horrible dentures! Reporting to the licensing board!

It appears that across the United States that Affordable Dentures is taking advantage of people and receiving a lot of money from them. What I don't understand is how they are getting away with it. I too had horrible service there....went for the "best" denture they offer and like everyone else, the dentures are too big! They don't care and why should they if they can keep getting away with it. We need to take a stand! The response will be better if we all do this. They need to be reported to the "licensing board" for your state and also reported to the ADA and BBB.....if these places receive enough complaints then just maybe we can stop them from taking advantage of people..... I'm filing my complaints ..... For those of you that haven't gone there yet...... Stay far away from there....every time I go back for an adjustment the folks in the waiting room have the same complaints.

Staff is very rude and I had to wait all day!

I orginally went for a partial for the top of my mouth. When fitted I informed the doctor that the roof of the partial was too thick and it had a gap for food to get thru and he said it could not be helped. I retured 2 weeks later because I could not eat with the partial due to the gap and the doctor drilled it down and said to take out the partial and clean it everytime I ate. That is rediculous!!. I went back today (my appointment was for 9:00am)because the wire that holds my partial in broke and they told me that I had a long wait and that there was a stack of patients before me. I asked what was the appointment for in the first place. I said nevermind. I will never return there again and will continue to use denture cream to keep my partial in until I can get it repair somewhere else..

Top denture had my mouth sticking out like a horse.

The denture were made for someone other then me. They never fit my mouth. I lost 23 pounds in 3 months because everything I eat when under the dentures. I took pictures because the back of the plates the teeth are in the gums of the plate. You complaint and the staff states you mean to the Doctor; if you ask a question they state you mean to the Doctor. They have technician giving out medical advice. I seeking to sue them I when to two other Dentist. I had the second Doctor make me a set of real dentures he stated I was not the only patient he has seen from Affordable Dentures. I am trying to see if there is a class action against them , there sure should be they suck.
