Affordable Dentures & Implants

Affordable Dentures & Implants is a leading national network of dental practices dedicated to providing comprehensive and affordable tooth replacement solutions. Founded in 1975 in Kinston, North Carolina, by Dr. George Edwards, Jr., and Dr. Donald Henson, the organization was established with the mission to address the need for accessible and reasonably priced dentures and tooth extractions. What began as a single practice in a two-story home has grown into the largest network of its kind in the United States, with over 425 locations across 42 states. The core services offered by Affordable Dentures & Implants practices include a wide range of denture options (full, partial, economy, economy plus, premium, and UltimateFit dentures), dental implants, and implant-supported dentures. A key differentiator for many of their affiliated practices is the presence of on-site dental laboratories. This allows for efficient fabrication and customization of dentures, often enabling same-day service for patients, which is particularly beneficial for those traveling long distances or needing immediate solutions. Beyond their primary focus on dentures and implants, many Affordable Dentures & Implants locations also provide general dentistry services, including free consultations and X-rays, tooth extractions, dental crowns, and in some cases, sedation dentistry. They are committed to offering high-quality care at an affordable price, accepting most major dental insurance plans, and providing various payment and financing options such as credit cards, FSA/HSA cards, and partnerships with financing companies like CareCredit. The organization operates under the umbrella of Affordable Care, LLC, which serves as a dental support organization (DSO). This structure allows individual practices, owned and operated by licensed dentists, to focus on patient care while Affordable Care provides business expertise and administrative support. Their overarching mission is "To provide a smile for every budget, delivered with compassion, dignity and respect," emphasizing their dedication to patient satisfaction and accessible dental care.
