Detailed Introduction

Affordable Dentures & Implants is a prominent and expansive network of dental practices across the United States, specifically focused on providing comprehensive tooth replacement solutions. Established in 1975 by Dr. George Edwards, Jr. and Dr. Donald Henson in Kinston, North Carolina, the founding vision was to make dentures and tooth extractions accessible and affordable, addressing the unmet needs of patients who found dental care too costly. The organization has grown significantly since its inception, now boasting over 400 affiliated practices in 42 states. A key distinguishing feature of Affordable Dentures & Implants is their commitment to affordability and convenience. Almost every affiliated practice houses an on-site dental laboratory, which enables them to offer many services, including same-day dentures, adjustments, and repairs. This on-site capability streamlines the patient experience, particularly benefiting those who travel from a distance or require immediate solutions. Their service offerings are extensive, covering: Full & Partial Dentures: Providing a range of denture options, from basic to more customized solutions, designed to restore smiles and chewing function. Dental Implants: Offering various implant solutions, including full mouth dental implants, snap-on dentures, single tooth implants with crowns, and mini dental implants. These are presented as a permanent and stable solution for missing teeth, helping to preserve bone structure and improve overall oral health. They are recognized as the largest provider of tooth implants in the U.S. Extractions: Performing tooth extractions, often on a same-day basis, depending on the patient's health and complexity. General Dentistry: While specializing in tooth replacement, some locations also offer broader general dentistry services, including cleanings, fillings, and dental crowns, to support overall oral hygiene. Denture Services: This includes denture adjustments (often free for the first 60 days), relines, and repairs to ensure a comfortable and proper fit. Affordable Dentures & Implants operates with a mission to "provide a smile for every budget, delivered with compassion, dignity, and respect." They emphasize patient-focused care, striving to ensure 100% patient satisfaction. They offer free consultations and X-rays at many participating practices, and work with various financing options like CareCredit, Proceed Finance, and ONEderful Finance, in addition to accepting most major dental insurance plans. The practices are supported by Affordable Care, LLC, a dental support organization that handles business, marketing, and administrative functions, allowing the dentists to concentrate on clinical care. They also engage in community outreach, including the "WE CARE: Go Ahead & Smile" initiative, providing free dental care to those in need, and donating time and talent to Mission of Mercy clinics.

One of the rudest dentists I have ever visited. Find a dentist who truly cares about people and his patients.

I believe some of the 1 star reviews are unfair.. I personally know of 4 different people that have gone here and have been treated good and received very nice dentures that have held up nicely. I went here for a consultation and yes there is quite a wait but in my opinion it can be worth it.

I had to have a broken tooth pulled. They were the best. Not only did they get it out they found out that the previous dentist that originally filled it had drilled into my sinuses and filled into my jaw bone which made the extraction basically an oral surgery.

I have another tooth that needs to come out an I will return they are very good at what they do and the price was great, no problems afterward. Thank you.

I had 32 teeth extracted and an immediate denture provided as a walk-in all in one day. I chose one of the "beginner" denture packages; the premium level denture. The office is an assembly line. Get there well before 7:45am to get a good spot in line, because they only take so many people a day and if you are near the end you might get turned away. I am a dentalphobe and was very afraid of pain. Dr. Hedges numbed me better than I could have ever expected. He pulled all of my teeth quickly and I felt no pain, I swear none at all. I left with my temporary denture, a prescription for pain medicine, and instructions about after care. I got my permanent denture when I was healed and my gums were ready.

I opted for mini dental implants for my lower plate. I have had my dentures and implants for four years now. I am very happy with the quality of my care. Now, for the downside. I already mentioned getting there early and that this is an assembly line practice. I found that I had to slow the staff down when I needed adjustments - if not I would get less than a minute to approve the adjustment and then sent out. When that happened I always found a scratchy spot or a rub in the same spot that I came in to have corrected. Once you're outta there it's going to be another early morning on another day to get the adjustment right. The staff is professional and cordial - not friendly. And they are trying to get folks in and out as quickly as possible.

This does not bother me. I have been a nurse for over 30 years and my interactions with many different providers of care have proven that you do not have to be warm and fuzzy in order to do great work. With this practice you will need to be a real advocate for yourself. If not you will be rushed in and out without all of your concerns being addressed. Educate yourself regarding the dental work that you wish to receive and do not be timid about speaking up if you are not clear about what is going on or if you feel that your concerns are being overlooked. At times I've had to write a list for myself so that I could keep track of my concerns. My bottom line is that I have a great pair of dentures with an excellent fit and of very good quality. I am losing weight and will need another adjustment soon and I will return to the Chester, VA Affordable Dentures office.
