Affordable Dentures & Implants

Affordable Dentures & Implants is a prominent network of dental practices across the United States, founded in 1975 by Dr. George Edwards, Jr. and Dr. Donald Henson in Kinston, North Carolina. Their initial mission was to address the need for affordable dentures and extractions, a commitment that has since expanded to include comprehensive tooth replacement solutions. With over 425 locations in 42 states, each practice operates under the Affordable Dentures & Implants brand, though they are individually owned and operated by licensed dentists. These practices are supported by Affordable Care, LLC, a large dental support organization that handles business, marketing, and administrative functions, allowing dentists to focus primarily on patient care. A key differentiator for Affordable Dentures & Implants is their emphasis on affordability and accessibility. They aim to provide "a smile for every budget," offering a range of denture options (full, partial, implant-supported) and various types of dental implants (single tooth, full mouth, mini implants, All-On-4™). Many locations boast on-site dental labs, which enables them to offer same-day services for procedures like denture repairs, relines, and even some new dentures, a significant convenience for patients, especially those who travel. Beyond tooth replacement, some Affordable Dentures & Implants locations also offer general dentistry services, free consultations, and X-rays to assess dental needs and create personalized treatment plans. They accept most major dental insurance plans and provide various financing options, including CareCredit, Proceed Finance, and ONEderful Finance, to help patients manage costs. The company's business model allows affiliated dentists to own their practices with zero out-of-pocket investment while receiving comprehensive business support. The focus remains on patient satisfaction, offering compassionate care and aiming to help individuals regain their smiles and confidence. While their main offerings are dentures and implants, they also perform extractions and offer denture adjustments and relines.
