Affordable Dentures & Implants

Affordable Dentures & Implants is a leading dental care provider in the United States, specializing in tooth replacement solutions. Founded in 1975 in Kinston, North Carolina, by Dr. George Edwards, Jr., and Dr. Donald Henson, the brand was established out of a commitment to making quality dental care, particularly dentures and extractions, accessible to a broader population. They recognized the need to provide affordable options for patients who were often turned away due to high costs. Today, Affordable Dentures & Implants operates as the largest network of dental providers primarily focused on dentures and dental implants, with over 425 affiliated practices across 42 states. Each practice is individually owned and operated by a licensed dentist, though they are supported by Affordable Care, LLC, the largest dental support organization in the U.S. focused on tooth replacement services. The core mission of Affordable Dentures & Implants is "To provide a smile for every budget, delivered with compassion, dignity, and respect." This mission is reflected in their business model, which emphasizes affordability and efficiency. A key differentiator is the presence of on-site dental laboratories in almost every affiliated practice. This allows for the fabrication of dentures and other dental devices on-site, often enabling same-day service for many procedures, including immediate dentures, relines, and repairs. This vertical integration helps eliminate the "middleman" costs associated with external labs, allowing the practices to keep their fees competitive. Their service offerings are comprehensive and include: Dentures: Full dentures (to replace all teeth in an arch), partial dentures (for missing some teeth), and advanced 3D printed dentures (Real 3D Fit). They also offer denture adjustments, relines, and repairs. Dental Implants: A variety of implant solutions, including single implants, multiple implants, and "snap-in" dentures (implant-supported removable dentures). They are part of the nation's largest network of individually owned and operated dental implant practices. Extractions: Tooth removal services. General Dentistry: Beyond their core tooth replacement services, some locations also offer general dentistry services like free consultations and X-rays, crown solutions, and even sedation dentistry for anxious patients. New Denture Wearer Package: An all-inclusive package designed for first-time denture wearers, including temporary dentures, unlimited adjustments, temporary relines, and final dentures. Affordable Dentures & Implants targets a broad audience, particularly those seeking affordable and high-quality tooth replacement solutions. This includes individuals with missing teeth, those needing extractions, and older adults who are more prone to tooth loss. Their focus on cost-effectiveness and efficiency, coupled with a compassionate approach, resonates with patients who might otherwise struggle to access necessary dental care. They also offer financing options through partners like CareCredit and Proceed Finance to further assist patients with managing costs. The brand prides itself on delivering quality care, with a commitment to high clinical standards and patient satisfaction. They also engage in community outreach efforts, such as their "WE CARE: Go Ahead & Smile" program and participation in Mission of Mercy clinics, where they provide free dental care to underserved populations.
