Affordable Dentures Complaint - Dont Do it
Complaint
COMMERCE, GEORGIA -- I went to them, because of a salesperson on the phone, thinking I could accomplish this for less money. After all day sitting there, and getting the service, and feeling like a cow in a cattle auction being processed through, I was given a partial, it was very uncomfortable and I told them, they said it would pass. I went back next day and told them my teeth were not meshing. I did not expect to be attacked, but I sure felt I was. The 'Dentist' yelled at me, told me I did not know what I was talking about, that it was the way it was supposed to be. I went to my regular dentist, he told me what they had sold me as a permanent device was what they call in the industry as a 'flipper', a temp device until the real one comes in, Affodable Dentures said that it was permanent. It is most uncomfortable, like having a wad of wax in my mouth, and this is the midrange, not the economy version. Bottom line is, I still have to get the ones that I avoided for financial reasons, they (Affordable Dentures) won't adjust or fix the ones they sold me, and are about the rudest people I have ever met. So not only do I have to spend what I originally had to spend, but I am out $750 to them. The only good thing is that their extractions are very cheap, if you can handle the pain, where they give you a small shot similar to novocaine, and then pull the teeth with an instrument that has been laying out for at least 15 minutes, and then given unsterile gauze pads for the bleeding and all that in a dirty office. Again, avoid these guys, if they could deliver what their salespeople promise, life would be good, but they are only interested in your money, not your well being

I was at Affordable Dentures in Madison WI today and had dentures made. I told them they did not fit right and that I was not happy. They told me that I would have to get used to them. I have worn dentures for 27 years and these are poorly made, fit horribly, look like billy bob teeth. I already have a call into them to refund my money. If I don't hear back I will stop payment on my credit card and ship them the teeth certified mail. They are a total rip off.

My wife just had the same issues, her dentures looked like the fake prank teeth from Spencer's, and she is still bleeding after five days. She couldn't even wear hers due to the discomfort, never mind the horrible appearance. We got a refund for them the next day after much heated debate and the PROMISE of legal action. Even so, there is going to be legal action as I did not promise to drop any case against them. My wife is now unable to eat much at all, aggravating the fact that she is underweight and a borderline diabetic. Our regular dentist has promised to correct this mess and is going to assist us in any action taken against them. STAY AWAY from the Lenoir City, TN location of Affordable Dentures.

Your post made so much sense to me. I told my husband the day he took me there that I felt like a cow getting ready for the slaughter. Every seat in the waiting area was taken. I should have ran!
The dentist who pulled my tooth was so angry when I told him I felt pain. He said there was no way that I should be numb. He was angry when he had to give me another shot of novacaine and wait for it to take effect. He finally got the tooth out (so i thought), stuck my partial in and then told me I had a cavity on the tooth next to the one he pulled. He said get it filled as it is an important tooth to have in my mouth.
The partial looks like something I could have made with clay. They are so misaligned I hate wearing them and there is only 2 teeth on them!
I went to another dentist to have that one tooth filled. This dentist told me that:
1. I have a lot of bone fragment left in my gum. Where the tooth broke and it was just left in my gums.
2. My tooth has a trauma injury to it caused by an instrument that extracts teeth.
3. There is no way this tooth can be saved because of the trauma to it.
4. I will have to go to an oral surgeon to have it taken out.
5. The front teeth around it could start shifting due to it being an anchor tooth.
The tooth that dentist told me was so IMPORTANT to have in my mouth. I have to get pulled because of him!
THANKS alot AFFORDABLE DENTURES.
My dentures are not so affordable at this point.
Affordable Dentures wont give me my x-rays that they took. I found out today by law they have too.
So if anyone else has a problem with getting their own x-rays, the law is in your favor not theirs!
Skip Affordable Dentures. Especially the one in Kentucky!
