The staff is just amazing. They make you feel super comfortable in an uncomfortable situation. Dr. Was the best, she explained everything and is amazing at what she does. Even after surgery they were here to help me and make the proper adjustments needed the same day. Not only are the prices amazing but the care matches!! I'd highly suggest this place to anyone considering implants and dentures, you won't find better care.

A great experience from beginning to end.Dr Irvine and her staff were wonderful. Came in for upper dentures but first had to have six extractions, i was nervous and dreading the experience but Dr Irvine did a wonderful job felt no pain even when she injected the novacaine. My dentures fit perfectly and look great.I could not be more happy.

Dr. Irvine and her staff are so comforting, easy and caring. It began with Joy assisting me in scheduling, who is very personable and efficient. It is a relaxed atmosphere that puts the patient first. I had multiple extractions and no pain. My new teeth look and feel great!

ABOVE AND BEYOND my expectations!!! I would recommend ANYONE to come here honestly, I put it off & put it off for almost a year and they never stopped trying and I finally went in and had multiple teeth extracted both top & bottom all in one sitting and they were absolutely WONDERFUL TO ME!!!! They made sure I walked out of there with a brand new smile!!!! I haven’t smiled for over 15 years and I walked out of Affordable Dentures on 05/27 with a brand new BEAUTIFUL SMILE and I owe it all to the team right here in Merrillville Indiana!!! Even during my healing process (which I’m technically still recovering) when I couldn’t talk due to swelling they had no issue responding via text and answered every question or concern I had. Thank you so much for helping me find my smile and for reminding me that a person teeth does not define them!!! You guys truly changed my life and I am forever grateful for you all 😁

I needed a repair done for my upper denture so I visited the Merrillville office yesterday. Even though they were very busy, they were friendly, courteous, and most helpful. The repair was done within an hour. I couldn't ask for better treatment or results. Dr. Irvine and her staff are the best.
