Reviews and Complaints

Made me give them on star, otherwise I would not have given that. Walked in, and a sign on the window saying you have to have your dentures clean of any fixodent . How was I to do that? With my car keys? Maybe telling clients before they got there would help. Receptionist was kind, then my name was called and a nurse greeted me with scrubs on that looked like she had pulled them out of the bottom of the laundry basket. I apologized for not having the fixodent removed from my dentures and she was hateful. Doctor was also hateful, trying to talk me into something I clearly told him I could not afford. If you are looking for any kind of compassion, forget it. I would never give them a chance to work on my mouth. Stay clear of Muncie Affordable Dentures.

worst place EVER! you are better off paying a higher price someplace else...

Affordable Dentures in Durham, NC are very nice but once they get the money. Then the gloves come on. They are very uncaring about quality of the partial. Mine had more product than teeth. I had 4 missing teeth on lower. They gave me (1) one for the left side and one (1) for the right. Each time I went for a fitting to correct what they suppose be correct they would put me where there was hardly good lighting. The technician were rude. I was told because I was complaining about how much product it was compared to the small teeth, the tech said who smiles like that. In other, no one can see their poor quality of work.
I just say I would need give them a dime first. Then when I complained to the BBB they lied. The character of the people there it is sad. But the put on a good show.

Hey my dentist is racist too, my child wanted a red lollipop and he gave her a orange one saying that he does not have any red. Probably gives the red ones to rich white children.

I'm sorry.. but where in your post was she "racist"? Every time I make a visit to my dentist (we are not of the same race), she is working on at least 3 patients at a time, which means she's constantly leaving me and coming back and even asking how I'm doing from way across the room! How is that rude or racist? Also, I have seen the economy dentures on my sister in law and they are awful looking. IMO, the dentist was just trying to save you from being another unsatisfied customer.

We do care about our patients. I will have to agree, that we probably did not make a call the day after surgery. That is something we have changed. Pain pills are addicting and we can not give a refill with out seeing the patient first. It is always a good idea if you are in serve pain to go to the doctor. Most of the time, after extractions, pain is caused from the dentures rubbing, or from a dry socket. Either of these situations requires a visit to the doctor. A person is constantly changing after extractions and it does take regular visits to make the dentures comfortable especially in the first 6 months. If the patients requires another x-ray to see what is going on, after initial treatment, they are always done at no charge. We apologize for any misunderstanding, Affordable Dentures in Bellevue.

Your advertising says I'd walk out with a new beautiful smile, I left with a mouth full of teeth that are too big and ill fitting dentures. They say you have to wait a full year before getting my permanent dentures. Meanwhile I have to wear these temporary ones that are uncomfortable and the bottom ones will not stay in, even when using glue. I had mine done in late May early June last time I went back to have them adjusted they told me the second step to make a better fitting bottom will not be until November. I think all of this is unnecessary, and should be able to get my permanent ones now. My gums are well healed and it is more of a danger continuing to wear this ill fitting ones that can cause more of a chance of getting sores and infections that could possibly kill me since I have no immune system. Do you have any solutions for me Can I request them make my permanent dentures since they already have my money?

I went to Affordable Dentures in Bedford Va. They extracted 4 teeth, which were holding a partial in place. I had a custom bottom denture made. Of course they slap this thing in your mouth immediately after taking your teeth out. At that time you are numb, everything feels good! A few days later I discovered something in one of the sockets. It was bone. I went back. The dentist numbed me and proceeded to break off the bone with a pair of pliers and sent me home. A few days later I still felt something in that area and in another area. During this time I had to chop or puree everything I ate because it hurt so much. Again I went back. I told her I had bone splinters. She told one of the assistants to put a soft liner in my denture, and told me the bone would eventually dissolve!. After one month and 5 trips at 140 miles round trip I still cannot chew solid food due to discomfort. STAY AWAY FROM HERE! Spend a little more money and get a better job done.

Had remaining teeth pulled and got dentures, was showed video at consult visit, but couldn't hear it over music, asked if I needed to know anything and told no, dr Pearce came in, looked at mouth and said they would make me a pretty smile and was gone in five minutes or so, had remainder of teeth pulled, again was showed video I couldn't hear over music, lower denture was horrible fit, was told by manager that some of their patients had to use adhesive on lower plate, which I despise, asked why I wasn't told this before and tech said it was in video which infuriated me and I reminded her that I couldn't hear it, they offered to redo it, after it's too late and. teeth are gone I was told I didn't have a lot for plate to hold on to, I pointed out if I was told before I would have to use adhesive at initial consult I would not have had any work done, when so called remake was brought out it was really the same plate with wax on it to try to hide that fact and I was again infuriated that they tried to make a fool out of me, manager then said that all their patient have to use adhesive and become irritated when I pointed out that a few minutes ago was told some not all had to use it, he then tried to sell me on implants, when I told him if I were to get implants it certainly wouldn't be there, he then generously offered to reimburse cost of lower plate but I would have to leave lower plate there, knowing I had to have lower plate, this place puts you in a situation that if you want to chew anything you have to take what they give you wish Bryant office was shut down and they have to reimburse every patient they screwed over, the 2 grand would come in handy now for work I'm desperately need now.

I agree with being rushed I was in for adjustments and dealt with Annie what a sweet person but the next time was with Yolanda and she was rude and would not let me finish a sentence without telling me I was wrong and trying to argue she is the one who rushed me, if she would have just taken the time to hear me out and not try to one up me then my problem would have been solved then but I went back again and she did the same thing I asked her questions and she did not know the answer so I asked to speak with the dr and she said no he was to busy so I called again later this time I told her because of the reviews I read online about a lot of people having to contact an attorney to get results I was leary to use them to start with and she did not let me finish and told the dr I threatened them with a lawyer which is not true I was making a statement about the reviews I had read and again if she would have just listened to me and heard my entire statement she would have known I was not threatening them just stating a comment about a review, also everything I say to her she says no that is not what you said and basicly called me a liar, The dr and annie are so nice but Yolanda is a thorn there, she is angry about something and has to be right about everything she takes out her anger on the pts, If you want dentures I would say they are great but to avoid drama with Yolanda go somewhere else. I have heard Conway is good and their staff is all very nice and understanding. I spoke with a couple of pts there while in the waiting room and they all complained about Yolanda

The following was submitted to the Attorney General of Indiana, Consumer Protection Division and to the Indiana Dental Association Peer Review. Shut this place down and refund all payments to the vicitms of this scam:

On June 20, 2013, I visited Affordable Dentures, Franklin, Indiana, to receive same-day partials. From the clinic published offerings, I selected what is termed “The Premium Package, ” at a cost of $1780. The Package consists of a set of full or partial dentures, with the promise of being allowed to return at any time during the first year of wear for repair and adjustments. A final set is then placed in the patient’s mouth. The words “at any time” echo throughout the clinic as the patients are being fitted for teeth, and again, as they leave: “You may come back any time you need to.” That promise turns out to be a lie, particularly for purchasers of The Package.
At the time of my visit, I had eight teeth remaining, with only the two upper teeth to be extracted. I had been wearing partials and bridges for 17 years. The price schedule the assistant put in my lap showed extractions at $75 each. I was charged $105 for each one, and not told of the inflated price until after surgery. Dr. Stahl made the dollar amount out of whole cloth. This is bait and switch.
Patients are given two prescriptions and are told these have to be filled immediately or surgery will not be done. At the beginning of my visit I completed a medical history revealing a thyroid condition. The medication Dr. Stahl prescribed came with a printed indication of potential death to those with thyroidism. The prescription is given to every patient, no matter their medical condition. This is malpractice.
Over fifty patients were seen on the day I was. They were herded through the clinic, with their dentures made as fast as credit cards can be swiped, and regardless of quality. When mine were placed in my mouth, a definite elevation on the upper right was noticeable; the length of the right side teeth was pronouncedly shorter than the other side. I noticed this after I went to my car and called in the message. The hateful assistant Rose left a recorded reply, “Your teeth were made the way they are supposed to be, so I don’t know what your problem is.” No mention of “We’ll fix it any time.” Certainly, no consideration for the pain of the patient was forthcoming.
I went back anyway. When looking into my mouth, Rose told me, “Nothing is wrong with the partial. It’s you. You have a lip like Elvis. You snarl like Elvis and that’s why you think the teeth look funny.” I am 61 years old and never in my life have I been told I look like Elvis. I have never had elevated teeth on one side, either. I asked to speak to the dentist and in came Dr. Wick, owner of the practice. She looked at my mouth and told me I shouldn’t criticize her work and I should leave. I asked her to take the partial and make the teeth the same length. She stormed out of the room shouting at me, “I’M NOT GOING TO DO IT. I DON’T HAVE TO DO IT.” I told Rose that Dr. Wick had better do it. Rose grabbed my arm (I was still sitting in the exam chair) and shook me, saying, “You don’t talk to US like that.”
In a few minutes, Dr. Wick returned and added length to my teeth, so that miraculously, after 61 years, I no longer looked like Elvis! And then she said, “We added lots and lots to your teeth!” The same teeth that minutes before didn’t have anything wrong with them, according to her.
The lower partial was three times the size it needed to be. It wouldn’t fit into my jaw, particularly the right side. Dr. Wick continued to tell me my mouth would “adjust” to a denture so big that my tongue wouldn’t lay flat. I could not chew, couldn’t talk, and couldn’t get the partial into my jaw.

The week after this bizarre act of dental malpractice, I called for an appointment to have the lowers decreased. I was told that no one could come back until two weeks post-op; even those of us who had no gum swelling, and who had paid for The Package.
The shoddy work of Drs. Wick and Stahl resulted in blisters, lesions, sores and bleeding in my mouth. All caused by Affordable Dentures’ defective product. The lowers would not allow my mouth to rotate or chew. And I was expected to be tortured like this for no less than one year and up to two years! Subsequently, I was examined in an emergency room and by a dentist in federal practice, all advising me to contact Dr. Wick for adjustment.
Works was done to make the partials smaller, but still do not fit my mouth and are completely unusable. Sores and lesions continue to form on my gums due to the defective workmanship of this garbage for a product. Parts of the upper partial have chipped off during normal wear. I called again (“You can come back anytime!”) in early August for repair. The nasty Rose told me I could only come on a Tuesday between 1 and 2 o’clock. She then said, “You come when I tell you to, or you won’t get an adjustment or repair.” So I haven’t been back. I live with the worse excuse for a set of partials ever made. The chewing surfaces are almost non-existent. The lowers cannot be worn. The uppers continue to chip. These substandard, inferior teeth are causing pain and suffering as well as embarrassment by not being wearable.
Most new denture issues are caused by gums adjusting to extractions and the placing of artificial teeth. These are not problems particular to me. My gums were ready for permanent partials, yet Affordable Dentures refused to provide them. At one point, Dr. Wick, in an effort to deflect responsibility for her inferior work, pointed to my natural tooth #22, and said, “It’s this one that’s causing all the trouble. This tooth gave us FITS!” Tooth #22 had nothing to do with the creation or placement of her shoddy partials. My #22 is perfectly normal and was not in the way of anything. Dr. Wick simply had to divert attention from her fraud by projecting away from herself.

At the moment I paid $1990 on my credit card to the assistant named “Dana”, I asked for a copy of my file. Dana’s reply was, “What do you need it for?” I said I have the right to access my medical records. She said, “We don’t do that.” Affordable Dentures willfully violates HIPPA law.
A week prior to submitting this complaint, I sent an electronic message to the corporate office of Affordable Dentures, Kinton, North Carolina. The narrative here reflects that message. I allowed corporate ten days to provide an answer and nothing has been received, nor have I heard from the Franklin office.
I am requesting a full refund of the price of my partials and extractions, $1990.and the two dangerous prescriptions I had filled, totaling $55. Additionally, a consideration of $800 for the infliction of physical pain and suffering and patient inconvenience is requested.

I took my wife in for an estimate. They told me that my insurnace would only pay for the top of the line stuff and that my out-of-pockrt would be $1400.00. So we got started that day. They took and retook several molds and chareged me $399.00 for that day. The next day we were called and told that my wife had to come back and have all of the molds redone. Ok, more time off of work but she did it. Today was the big day. She took the meds to get her redy to have her teeth pulled and we arrived at our appointment only to learn that they were only off of the pout-of-pocket estimate by $2300.00! WOW THEY A

I got my dentures in July and I've cried often about them. I had gum disease, and alot of teeth missing so I had to do something. I bought the premiums and the lower plate look like skinny skeleton teeth, its like white tooth picks they arent molded like teeth at all.. I hate taking pictures my mouth looks droopy n crooked when I dont smile, but when I do smile you see raggedy picks in place of my bottom. I wish so many days I never walked into that place. I cant say I got what I paid for because the package deal was expensive and the work is crap! stay away from this business, I wish a many days someone would have warned me.

I planned this out very carefully, asked all the questions, one of them, " will the new dentures look good? " I was told the Dr. carefully looks at your smile to choose just the right teeth. I had my teeth extrated, right away I had a bad infection, I cried day and night, I did everything I was asked to do, went back many times, each time waiting for hours to be seen. I could not wear them at all for a week, 1, they were too big, would not fit, 2, my mouth hurt so bad, I could not take the pain, after a week and few days, I had to put them in, had them adjusted to hold in my mouth, I look like a fresk! The new dentures are much too big for my mouth! I was told that everyone feels they are too big, that must be a trait of ffordable Dentures. Now I must return to work, in pain, big teeth, I will call again, I am sure to be told, " just give it more time" ! I am embarrased to go out anywhere. Affordable Dentures made me broke, and ugly, like a fresk!

On 12/9/2017 I went to Affordable Dentures to get an immediate partial denture. Even though they made three impressions, the dentures didn't t fit. They kept going back and forth cutting off pieces of the denture to try to keep it place, telling me to use denture adhesive cream to hold in place. It was in place when I left the office but not for long. About an hour later it was out again. So I called them the next day. I went in and the Dr. again tried to make them fit. They still don t fit.

My upper partial kept cracking in half, went back to Affordable Dentures in West Springfield, MA to get it repaired. They told me it couldn't be repaired and would keep on coming apart, and I'd need to buy a new partial for $590. I'm laid off, but figured I'd better get the new one. I had to pay upfront, and it took almost a week to get the new partial. In the meantime, they actually fixed the old partial GOOD AS NEW. I picked up the new one, and they imformed me the office was closing within the next few days, and I'd have to drive to Providence, RI or Albany, NY for any further fittings. The new partial doean't fit right, some of the teeth are elongated and uneven, and they're sitting in a container in my closet while I wear the perfectly repaired partial that "couldn't be fixed". I'm so distraught over this, just had to get it off my chest. These people should be taken to every state's AG!

I went to affordable dentures in Panama city florida. the personal are rude .I'm very disappointed I have to way old day for one impresion tha'ts not fear.I'm 80 year old I want my job right but they treat me like cow .they shoul have theirs licencences revoked.I want my money back!

Don't go to Affordable Dentures with Ryan Fleming! They are scam artists - I purchased the 'package' which was to include the dental implants for the lower denture. I have been horribly self conscious ever since I got these in January, 2017 - my upper lip sticks out like I have buck teeth and they hurt so much. I have gone back to have them refitted and they treat me as if I'm crazy and nothing gets fixed...and of course, you have to abide by their schedule which is horrible for a working person. Needless to say, I can't eat anything solid anymore because no matter how much adhesive I use, you can't chew. The office staff is EXTREMELY RUDE. They told me that I LIED about my health. And that's the reason for my problems - They are the liars! When I went in for what I thought to have the mini-implants put in - they told me that it would be another $2017.00 plus and that I didn't paid for the package that included it - I am so angry! Please don't go to this guy or his staff. I saw one comment on here about them opening at 7:45 - B.S. They make you wait in the COLD and when you do finally get in a chair - all the 'artwork' is of a NARCISSTIC RYAN FLEMING! All the pictures in the office are of him - DON'T GO TO RYAN FLEMING OF AFFORDABLE DENTURES!

Do you want to have your appendix or liver out also? Right on girlfireind, tell those ignorant doctors what what!

The "so called" dentist there never once checked by mouth before or after the dentures. They are extremely inferior. I am reporting them to the BBB and stopping payment on my credit card bill. This place should not be in business.

looking at their site it seems you chose the custom dentures at 660.00 ..thinking maybe you should have chosen the premium dentures at 895.00 ..use a credit card for all purchases this way you can cancel the charges if you dont get what you deserve

Treated terrible...went there 2 weeks ago to have a bracket adjusted ...told I had to be there by 10 am...my schedule doesn't make that very easy...finally was able to make the requested time slot ..sat for an hour and never saw any personal. Sat in the and called a friend in the business...he told me to come right down to his office ...please don't use Affordable Dentures...you will not be treated well...Pay More Get More...

I agree...You are treated with no respect. I read the horror stories for dentures, didn't think I would have one for having to have a wisdom tooth pulled and had a feeling the tooth next to it had to go, yes I was right at least I don't feel they ripped me off for a second tooth. I was told on the phone that even the wisdom would cost $65. So they shot me up with novacaine, then told me to pay and come back, so I did. The cost $260 for x-ray and two teeth pulled, I questioned the amount. The wisdom was $130, what was I to do but pay it since jaw was going numb and I knew I had to get this taken care of or I would be in great pain. I am a big baby when it comes to my teeth, it's my phobia and I always let the dentist know this. Well I could barely open my mouth for the needle and they Doctor said "Mame I need you to open wider, I tried and he said it again. Then there was a point while ripping my tooth out that it really hurt, he said "Mame I have to ask you to calm down, we have other patients here and they don't need to here me". Maybe they should put doors on each room. Then my arms were on the chair but my hands were upwards and he the Dentist put them down for me. I felt like it was a meat factory, pay your money, sit down and let's get on with it. Then when it was finally over I asked if I could see me teeth, I was told "NO". Did not really get an answer why not, and got to see them as they were being taken away. What is the big deal with me wanting to see my own teeth. I will never go back there again, I think I would rather shoot myself in the head once the pain would not go away!

I went to Affordable Dentures in Fayetteville NC 15 years ago. I got the cheaps set that they had because of it being my first set and at the time is all I could afford. I have never had a problem with them. I think its time for a new pair. I will be going back to Affordable Dentures.

Let's just say Affordable Dentures are not at all what they appear to be. I had a tooth fall out, front tooth at that and they want to charge me to fix it and charge me for an office visit. Furthermore, the nurse told me I wasn't suppose to eat Fritos or any hard foods with my front teeth. No one ever mentioned this to me and she was extremely rude and told me to go some where else if I was not happy with the service I was receiving. This happened today. Before using this service, read all the reviews, you will want to find a better, more qualified dentist who care about their patients.

I am sure there are just as many, if not more positive testimonies for Affordable Dentures as there are negative. The Lady that called the dentist "man" had the nerve to complain about the disrespect she received, but she also disrespected the dentist by calling him " man" instead of by his name.
I don't know if any of you reading this has ever been to Las Vegas and stayed at the Circus Circus hotel and casino. All these negative stories remind me of the negative stories I had read about Circus Circus. I had booked my stay in Las Vegas for this hotel and casino, after reading all the negative reviews I was begining to wonder if I had made a mistake by booking my stay there. Well I went and I had a great time, the reviews were far more worse than the hotel and casino. I learned not to judge a business by what someone writes in a review. Not everyone is going to be totally 100% satisfied with the service they are given everywhere, so of course they are going to air their complaint and add more to it than actually happened. I have not been to Affordable Dentures yet, but I am going to go and I will not let some sour pus with a negative lifestyle ruin my day. I will judge the place myself.

you have to realize that the people on these boards are onyl the ones with negative experiences, or they are dentists whose practices are struggling because they lose the $6k from each denture patient. As with every company, there may be a bad doctor in the corporation. Otherwise, the dentures are made to the same quality of most dental labs, and they are forced to "herd" many people in so that they can manage to make them so affordable.

wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww...glad i read this comment and others as was going to take my girlfreind to this place"affordable", here in myrtle beach, but not now, well go to sextons dental clinic..
