Maybe the third or fourth time they will get it right. How much is your time worth?

Why did you choose a fleabag corporate clinic to start with? Did their TV advertisements impress you?

Guest

Tee-hee! Affordable gave you their famous mini (i.e.

temporary) implants. They always fall out. It is just a matter of time. Bet they charged you almost as much for these as I charge for my regular implants!

The joke is on you! You tried to find the cheapest dental care and you found it! Choose ONE: 1.

Cheap dentistry 2. Good dentistry You sure won't get #2 in a corporate clinic!

Terrible service

Updated by user Nov 06, 2018

So when I went back for an adjustment on Monday the 5th...they told me the partial was as good as it was going to get handed it to me and walked away....so I paid 395 dollars and was refunded only 275....and they was mad about giving me a refund.

Original review Nov 06, 2018
I went to affordable dentures and implants located on N Davis Hwy Pensacola FL on Nov 2 2018....I went to have a partial made....the dentist was rude and would not listen to me the staff was rude and obnoxious as well.... when my partial was made it was lopsided too long on one side.. the clasps was in the wrong spots....it fell down when I talked...I was told to come back on that Monday the 5th for an adjustment...they treated me like I was bothering them they acted like they had not seen me two days prior.... The company seems like a sham...their was another person there getting dental work he was telling her the dentist he could feel her drilling in his took she told him to stop crying and be a man...he told her to stop and she told him to get out of her place of business....now to me her dentist office needs to be shut down... I would not send my worse enemy or my dog to this place

You went looking for cheap and you found it. What are you complaining about?

Florida has one state and one private dental school and has plenty of good dentists in every part of the state. No need to go to a joke of a clinic like Affordable dentures unless you are looking for trouble.

LOVE these guys!

Dr. Sas is my favorite dentist on the planet.

Along with being knowledgeable he is also gentle, calming and fun. He is always concerned about the patient's comfort. I've gotten 2 dental implants and a set of veneers from him and love them. I popped one of my veneers off once and he got me in immediately to fix it.

I grind my teeth so he also had a mouth guard made for me, free of charge, so I didn't ruin my veneers. Affordable Dentures is also SO much less expensive than everyone else. My implants and veneers were at least 1/3 less than other dental offices, making my new beautiful smile affordable. The office staff and assistants are awesome also.

Very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Dr.

Sas & Dr. Mehta to everyone!

I really do not understand this thing about VENNERS, to me this is a cover over something should the implant should be a porcelain tooth?

The most horrible dental experience in my life!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
This is the 1st time I have ever left neg fdbk on a business. In 2015 I decided I should have a extra upper partial should something happen to the one I had. It required 1 of my front teeth & the side adjoining tooth; I lost them in a head-on car accident years ago. I wanted it made identically to my current one. The one they made had so much material on the top that it was like wearing a full denture; it put a big space between my two front teeth which I have never had; and it was so tight that I was barely able to get it in and it created extreme pain. The new partial was nothing like the one I had & I was extremely disappointed. They make you pay prior to picking up your new partial & Dr. Jordan refused to correct the inconsistencies. I have never been able to wear it but I kept it. I decided to try this office again and went in their on a Monday explaining everything to the receptionist pointing out the one that I wanted in their brochure which was the exact price I paid 3 yrs previously. Saw the dentist 2 days later & again explained everything, showing him the partial he made me before. He brought in a model of teeth stating that that was the material they used for the one I wanted. It was a totally different material, much thicker than the first one he made me. He said in order to have the material I wanted I would have to spend $400 more then what I previously had pd. How stupid is that? He was trying to get more money out of me the the exact same thing I received 3 years ago. This dentist, Dr. Jordan should be a used car salesman and not in the business of helping people with their dental needs!

I totally agree sir. I have just spent so much money over the years for an upper partial and thought that I would give it a try to have one just as an extra but we both see how that worked out didn't we? Thank you for your correct observation!

No reputable dentist wants to work in a sleazy cheap denture place for long. Places like this are a last resort for employment. The only dentists who will work at places like this is ones who can't find better jobs anywhere else- and usually for good reason.

They did not make teeth right.

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

I visited the office and had a new set of dentures made. My first appointment was on April 12, 2018 and I received the teeth on April 19, 2018.

I also paid extra for a gold tooth to be put in the upper set, $210 to be exact. From day one the lower dentures did not fit at all. The dentist instead of trying to find what was wrong ground on them a few times and then just disappeared leaving the helper to finish the session. After trying to wear the bottoms for several weeks I called and they said bring them back over and they would look at them.

The top set was also loose and I couldn't bite anything with them or they would jump down. They told me this was normal and I should use the denture stuff to hold them in. I have not in 50 years used anything to hold my teeth in and don't plan on doing it now, if they are made right you don't have to use the stuff. I took them back today, June 04, 2018, and they said they would refund the price of the teeth but not the price of my gold tooth.

They got it back along with the upper set so why shouldn't they refund the price of it too? They said I could take them back home and try to remove it but they that would void the warranty on the top set I believe. They also said I could keep the top set but they would only give back $260 for the bottom set and I gave $805.50 for the complete set so that was also a rip off. To make a long story short they took my gold tooth and did not compensate me for it and of course they'll keep the gold and use it again later on down the road.

Since I paid extra for that tooth they should have refunded me that amount too as they were keeping the teeth. I am very upset over this business and finally I paid with a credit card they ran immediately to get their money but I have to wait 9 to 10 days or more to get my refund back. I do not believe it could have been anymore shoddier work if I'd had a horse doctor do it and I will be sure to tell everyone I know they did not do me right after taking my money. I asked about getting a reline for my tops and the lady said that wouldn't tighten them up any so she didn't think so, she would rather refund my money I guess.

It would have been fine if they had refunded all the money but I'm now $210 short of what I paid and as I live on a fixed income and am disabled/retired they made no effort to fix the problem. I am sure the dentist knew from the git go they were not right on the bottoms.

That's why he didn't finish the session to begin with. To say the least I am mad about this and someone needs to clear it up.

AWESOME experience

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I can't praise Affordable Dentures in Cartersville enough. The staff is ultra friendly and the customer service is outstanding. Dr. A is very good and you can tell how much she really cares about her patients. Any time waiting is worth it as she takes all the time a patient needs to answer questions and concerns. Affordable Dentures in Cartersville is up front concerning prices and does not give a hard sell. You know what the charges are before you begin and if you decide to stop on your 1st visit, all you pay for are the x-rays, which is to be expected. I mean, really?, those cost any dentist money and a patient at any dentist should expect to pay for them. Since I got the Ultimatefit Snapsecure (implants) dentures on both the upper and lower,I have been involved in the complete process for 6 plus months and received spectacular treatment and service. I got the permanent dentures today and not only is the fit tremendous but the look is as well. They are like I have my real teeth again. If I had it to do all over again, I'd definitely go to the Cartersville location of Affordable Dentures. Cowboy

Normal dentists include adjustments free usually for 6 months after dentures are seated. One of the ways joints like Affordable peddle dentures cheap is to shirk off adjustments or charge extra for them.

They don't want to spend time fiddling with your cheap denture now that they have your money. They want you to get lost. Next time.

try a more reputable dentist who is good at making dentures. Sorry you had to learn the hard way.

Con artists

Affordable dental have to be exposed for what frauds they are. Every time you go there they have a new staff and have no knowledge of what happened on your last appointment. The new doctor just tries to sell new dental work when they can’t follow up on what the previous doctor started. This phony company needs to be shut down. This is at the Durango location. Thinking about legal action.

No dentist worth anything wants to work in a cheap denture factory. If he tells his classmates where he works he will be a laughingstock.

With the poor salaries they pay they can't get decent office hlpe either.

You got two choices: cheap dentures or good dentures. Go to make sure which one you choose!

My nightmare

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

The dentist was a real jerk and smelled of alcohol. I had 4 bad teeth and asked what was my best option.

I am fairly young and had damaged teeth from a childhood accident. The dentist told me my best option was full dentures. He pulled out 20 teeth and didn't tell me I had to pay 200.00 a tooth, which meant I had no money left for the dentures that I choose. I got cheap dentures that have been replaced 3 times because they break so easy.

The last pair were made wrong so bad they made my gums bleed and get huge sores. I am now trying to find another dentist that can help me without giving up my first born child.

I also have lost 40 pounds because I can't eat.. Affordable pain and agony is what they should be named.

So you had "four bad teeth" and their solution was extract them all? Incredible.

It is a rare patient that I cannot save 1 tooth in each quadrant. Extracting all teeth is virtually always a bad idea.No decent dentist wants to work in these high-volume denture clinics. It is the most demeaning job in existance for a licensed dentist. An alcoholic is the best they could do.Sorry pal, it is a lot of work to make a good denture.

ONE well made denture in my office in Dallas costs nearly $2000. Cheap= ***

Traumatized by Affordable Dentures

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
I went to AD to replace an old upper denture in February 2018. After my arrival they badgered me into getting my bottom teeth pulled and to get a bottom denture too. The dentist was brutal while pulling my teeth. I could feel him ripping my teeth out and he would not stop. He even pulled a tooth I wasn’t aware that was abscessed with out proper antibiotics prior to the procedure. I left there a bloody mess and even bled all over the counter at the pharmacy. The dentures do not fit right and I still cannot eat anything worthwhile. Upon going back to get my permanent teeth they tried pulling something over on me saying I was just there for a re-align. The liner made me so dizzy and sick I had to have it removed. The location in Knoxville on the greenway is where this happened. They refuse to see me any further and referred me to another dentist, they refused to refund all my money and I’m still waiting on the check months later.

by looking at all the comments on here i would say the so called dr. clyde dds is a wanna be dr or worker for the company, as he seems to be a know it all about dentistry.

and yes you do need antibodies before having an abscess tooth removed to get rid of the infection before you get rid of the source of infection. I think the so called dr clyde dds needs to get a life or learn a little about dentisty before he post all his off the wall comments about affordable dentures. as it seems he is a affordable worker or affordable advocate. just check all his post.

if he were a real dr he would have better things to do with his time then to troll the net and comment on this site.. so Dr Clyde DDS, time to get a life and shut up about what you do not know about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL! "A wannabe worker for the company," as if working for a fleabag denture mill would be a prestigious job!

You are such a comedian! You ought to have your own show! You know as much about antibiotics (not "antibodies) as you know about life on Mars.

Guess you missed the fact that antibiotics go over the body killing good bacteria as well. Guess you haven't seen any yeast infections as a result of unnecessary antibiotic use.

Guest

1. Patients DO NOT very often needed antibiotics before abscessed teeth are pulled.

The quickest way to get rid of an infection is remove the source of the infection. A large percentage of the time the bacteria are resistant to the antibiotic anyway. 2. It would have been smarter to wave the tooth with a root canal than extract it.

3. It is ALWAYS better to save AT LEAST two roots on the lower arch to fit under a denture and support it. Even better would have been to save enough teeth for a partial denture. 4.

You go to a corporate chop shop instead of a good independent dentist and harm is likely to come to you. Why did you do a stupid thing like go to a denture mill heavily advertised on TV?

Very disappointing experience

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Colorado Springs. 9 months and $6000 after extraction, I have not had one single day without problems; sores, infections, absecces. Wait time ranges from 1-2 hours despite having an appointment. Treatment rooms are dirty (thin layer of black grime on the equipment). Dentist has no idea of my name, the reason for my visit or my patient history. Went for appointment today for hardliner. After 1 hour wait, with no apology or explanation, was told I had to leave my dentures and return. I was not told of this beforehand, so they have wasted my time yet again. They have no direct phone contact method and do not return calls. They have no way to contact via email. I strongly advise you see denture and/or implant services elsewhere.

What a scam!

What a nightmare. After scouring the Internet and reading a lot of bad things.. Against my better judgement, I still made an appointment with Affordable Dentures and Implants. I should have trusted my gut and the hundreds of complaints filed against this business but I thought "I'm going for something simple, how badly could they screw it up?" Turns out, pretty damn badly. After being quoted a price of $1900.00 and change, and having nasty goop put in my mouth 4 times, I finally meet the dentist. Dr. Hackney. I hate to put the prefix of Doctor in front of his name but for the sake of semantics, I must. Once Hackney entered the room, he spent about 60 seconds before abruptly leaving without so much as a word and promptly sent his financial girl in to tell me the price would now be over $8,000! He wanted to replace all of my existing Implants with his own and if I wouldn't agree, he wouldn't make me a much needed new set of teeth. I was not exactly shocked when all the bad things I'd heard about this business came flooding back into my consiousness. The "upsell" was as blatant as they come and something I'd read about but wasn't entirely expecting as I'd already agreed to purchase their most expensive option. When I asked to speak to Hackney about the situation, he sent another woman in to say that he was not inclined to address my concerns and issues in regards to my price going from under $2,000 to over $8,000. The fact is..he's ALL ABOUT THE MONEY! Period.. And he doesn't even try to hide it once you're there. As soon as he found out I wasn't about to remove my perfectly good implants to replace them with his because he literally didn't carry the correct locater rings to make a proper snap in denture for me, he had no further use for me. I was left covered in goop, with broken teeth in my hand and a completely wasted day. I'd even opened a care credit account prior to my appointment to pay for my new teeth.. So that was a waste as well at least for this business. This experience has shaken my faith in the professional standards of the Heath care field and those who are associated with allowing this level of debauchery to continue to victimize unsuspecting individuals. Be warned. You will be taken advantage of all in the name of the almighty dollar and if you won't pay the price he feels like charging you, you're screwed. I've since seen a reputable local dentist whose been in practice for 34 years, whose ensured me that my existing Implants are fine and that I'm one of the lucky ones because I got out before it was too late and I was left with a substandard product from a substandard "Dentist" from a substandard "denture mill" Don't be like me and hope you're one of the lucky ones who gets a great product at a reasonable price because it simply doesn't exist. I'll be paying a couple hundred dollars more than their $1,900 ultimate fit at my local dentists office and it won't be done overnight but the old adage.. You get what you pay for seems to fit quite well to this situation. If I'd have been willing to pay $6,000+ more, who knows how great they'd have treated me but I do know that the second I refused, I was treated horribly. Please save yourself the trouble and do your business locally.. With reputable professionals and don't waste your time on these scammers.

Affordable Dentures - It's a Scam!

I went there recently and they don't take Medicaid and I'm unsure of any other insurance they may accept. But I would stay away from this place.

This place is a scam!! I found out when I went with my mom yesterday on Nov. 27 for her Free consultation and x-ray appt. Link to my Full Review: https://www.facebook.com/DJHarmonie/posts/554975****14441:0 And I don't appreciate them blocking my experience and my Review on their Facebook Page.

If you have nothing to hide then why are you blocking my review for the public to see? It's a honest review and it deserves to be known. We rated them a 1 Star but if you try to click on the 1 Star Review it won't pull up.

Which doesn't surprise me because we had an awful experience here. They don't know how to treat people right.

Choose ONE and only 1:

1. Cheap service.

2.

Good service.

If you choose option 1, don't complain about the service being poor.

Of course they don't mess with Medicaid.

Few dentists do. If they did, they would have to provide poor service and still lose money doing it.

Whether they accept Medicaid or not really doesn't matter in this case. But I think you know that.

This case, as you already know, is not about Medicaid or not. So from your post, your agreeing that Affordable Dentures does provide Cheap Service...which is something that I will agree with you. But your reply to number 2 doesn't make sense. But from what you said...You're Stating that if a company is cheap that I should expect poor service.

Well...you and I both know that is not true. No one that goes to a place like Affordable Dentures or any affordable business is defiantly not expecting poor service.

If they knew they were going to get poor service, they wouldn't even go there..and that's whether the business is Affordable or Not. They're expecting good quality service at an affordable price.

Dumb people think places with the name "Affordable" in them will give them quality SERVICES (a denture is a service, not a product) at a price a half to a third the prices elsewhere. This is impossible.

It takes a LOT of time and effort to make good dentures. I have been doing it for over 40 years.

Everyone in the town, fellow employees, and the customers on her route knew it was time for her to go!! You could feel the nasty bitterness just seeping through her skin!! Complaints were pouring in, more and more EVERYDAY!! The whole place was soooo relieved to see her go!
