Affordable Dentures & Implants

Affordable Dentures & Implants is a prominent and extensive network of dental practices across the United States, specifically focusing on comprehensive tooth replacement solutions. Established in 1975 by Dr. George Edwards, Jr., and Dr. Donald Henson in Kinston, North Carolina, the company's foundational principle was to address the widespread need for affordable dentures and extractions. This commitment to accessibility and cost-effectiveness remains a core tenet of their operations today. With over 400 affiliated practices spanning 42 states, Affordable Dentures & Implants has grown to become the largest network of its kind in the U.S. Each practice is individually owned and operated by a licensed dentist, with support from Affordable Care, LLC, a large dental support organization that handles administrative, marketing, and business functions. This structure allows the dental professionals to concentrate primarily on patient care. A key distinguishing feature of Affordable Dentures & Implants is the presence of on-site dental laboratories at almost every location. This enables them to offer a significant advantage to patients: same-day services for many procedures, including denture relines, repairs, and even the creation of 3D-printed dentures. This convenience is particularly beneficial for patients who may travel considerable distances for their dental care. Their service offerings are comprehensive and include: Full and Partial Dentures: A variety of custom-made dentures to replace missing teeth. Dental Implants: Solutions for permanent tooth replacement, including single implants and full arch solutions like the "All-In-One Solution™" (often referred to as All-on-4 or similar fixed arch options), which aim to restore natural bite force and appearance. Extractions: Necessary tooth removal procedures as part of the tooth replacement process. Denture Adjustments and Repairs: Services to ensure the comfort and longevity of dentures, with free adjustments often provided for an initial period after new dentures are obtained. Affordable Dentures & Implants aims to make dental care financially feasible through competitive pricing, a "Best Price Guarantee" at each practice, and various financing options. They also work with dental insurance providers, though accepted carriers may vary by location. While the company prides itself on affordability and accessibility, patient reviews indicate a mixed experience. Many patients commend the pricing and the ability to receive same-day services, while some express concerns regarding customer service, wait times, and consistency of care. Despite some criticisms, the sheer volume of patients served since 1975 underscores their significant presence and impact in the dental care industry. Their mission is centered on providing compassionate and high-quality tooth replacement solutions to help individuals regain their smiles, confidence, and ability to eat and speak comfortably.
