Affordable Dentures & Implants

Affordable Dentures & Implants is a prominent dental care provider in the United States, operating as a large network of affiliated dental practices primarily focused on comprehensive tooth replacement solutions. The company's origins trace back to 1975 in Kinston, North Carolina, where two dentists, Dr. George Edwards, Jr., and Dr. Donald Henson, aimed to address the need for accessible and affordable dentures and tooth extractions. This commitment to affordability and high-quality care remains central to their mission: "To provide a smile for every budget, delivered with compassion, dignity and respect." With over 400 locations across 42 states, Affordable Dentures & Implants has grown to be the nation's largest network of dental providers specializing in tooth replacement. A key aspect of their operational model is the presence of on-site dental laboratories at almost every affiliated practice. This allows for efficient service delivery, often enabling same-day dentures and quick turnaround times for other procedures, a significant benefit for patients who may travel long distances. Their service offerings are extensive and include: Full and Partial Dentures: A wide range of denture options are available, from basic "Economy Dentures" to "UltimateFit Dentures" which offer enhanced natural appeal, comfort, and durability. Dental Implants: They are a significant provider of dental implants, offering solutions for single missing teeth, multiple teeth, or full arch restorations, including fixed and removable options like SNAPSecure overdentures and ALL-IN-ONE fixed solutions. Tooth Extractions: Essential services for preparing the mouth for dentures or implants. Denture Services: This includes denture adjustments (often free for the first 60 days), relines for improved fit, and repairs for damaged dentures, with many minor repairs available same-day. General Dentistry: Beyond tooth replacement, some locations also offer general dentistry services like dental crowns and professional teeth whitening. Sedation Dentistry: Available at some locations to help anxious patients feel comfortable and relaxed during procedures. Affordable Dentures & Implants emphasizes patient-centered care, aiming to make dental solutions accessible through various payment methods, including cash, credit cards, FSA/HSA, and a range of financing options like CareCredit and ONEderful Finance. They also work with many dental insurance carriers. The company is supported by Affordable Care, the largest dental support organization in the U.S. focused on tooth replacement services, which handles non-clinical duties to allow dentists to focus on patient care. They also actively engage in community outreach, providing free dental care to patients in need through initiatives like "WE CARE: Go Ahead & Smile" and supporting Mission of Mercy clinics.
