Affordable Dentures - Bad Dentures and Questionable Proper Extractions
Complaint

CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA -- On Jan. 14, 2012, I went Affordable Dentures in Cartersville, Ga to have tooth extractions as well a root tip extractions (where teeth had broken off at the gumline). I was on a morphine pump for back pain for over 10 yrs which destroyed my teeth. When all was extracted, there was no stitching of the extracted areas, as I was expecting. A temporary upper plate was immediately put in and was so bad, that a second one had to be made. I have gone in several times for adjustments to no avail.
I cannot imagine anything more uncomfortable being in my mouth. They may as well have put in a ball of plastic which probably would be more comfortable. 4 months later, I am still gagging and cannot chew. It looks like I will be on a soft diet forever at this point. I tolerate them each day as long as I can, but by about 4:00 pm, they have to come out. It's awful, and I am supposed to have the premium package. Don't think so! I know many, many people with upper plates and have had no problems at all. My Father had them for years and never had a problem. But compared to his, these things I have in my mouth are the thickest ones I have ever seen. I went here because I have no dental insurance and am on disability. I went to other dentists and was quoted prices of $7,000-$10,000 which I could not do. I thought that if I went with their premium package, things would be much better. What a surprise! It's bad, bad, bad!

I feel for your situation. Without knowing more, I am left feeling like this is a matter of economics, but I am not sure. Good luck in finding a solution to your problem.

Doesn't sound like this place knows what they are doing. If you are not able to get them to fix the problems satisfactorily you might want to try Dixieland Dental in Midland City just outside of Dothan Al. They are economical much more so than regular dentists where I live. My husband had several extractions done there and a full upper denture plate. From his experiences so far I would say they have good dentists that know what they are doing and his denture fits well and feels good.
