Your Practice. Our Support.
Now you can enjoy the benefits of owning your own practice – without the financial investment or risk. As an Affordable Dentures practice owner, you'll enjoy true practice ownership, along with outstanding income and equity potential, as part of a highly successful, proven practice model. Affordable Dentures affiliated dentists typically earn well above industry averages. While our affiliated owners do well for themselves, they also do good for others as they reach out to an underserved patient population and make a real difference in their lives.
Practice with a Purpose
An Affordable Dentures practice offers a unique business model, but it is also a mission. Your practice will primarily serve a patient population that is concentrated towards lower income and elderly groups, with services focused on removable prosthetics, tooth extractions, and minimally invasive implants.
While total tooth loss is declining, there is a wide disparity among socio-economic groups. Lower-income individuals continue to suffer disproportionately. This patient population has been vastly underserved, largely because of the cost of treatment in traditional general dentistry practices. In addition, more than 45 million Americans currently wear some type of removable prosthesis, and recent studies have found that the average denture is over 15 years old. By offering a less expensive option, Affordable Dentures practices are reaching out to meet the needs of this deserving and appreciative patient population.

Questions Anyone?
Who owns and runs the practice?
You do. As an affiliated owner, you own the professional corporation 100% and then contract with Affordable Care, Inc. and Affordable Dentures Dental Laboratories, Inc. for business services and laboratory support. You make all the final decisions on staff employment and how clinical services are delivered to patients.
What does Affordable Care do for the practice?
Affordable Care provides all the business support services you need to establish and run your practice. These include site selection, lease negotiation, facility up-fit, recruitment support, purchasing, a fully staffed and equipped on-site dental laboratory, centralized purchasing, marketing and advertising, information technology support and all necessary financial services.
Do I need money to invest?
No. You have no personal financial investment. Affordable Care provides the resources for the facility, equipment and supplies to start the practice and provides funding to the professional corporation during the "start-up." You provide quality clinical care, and we help with everything else.
What is the average income?
Last year, the average income for all practice owners who worked a full year was $311,934. The top 50% of all practice owners earn an average of $452,196, and the top 10% of practice owners earn an average of $752,267.
Do I work for Affordable Care?
No. Affordable Care provides business support services to the affiliated practices under contractual arrangements. The practices are organized as professional corporations or professional associations that are 100% owned by the practicing dentist. You would be a W-2 employee of your own professional corporation.
