The staff was super courteous, not judgy, and kind hearted. Im on my third visit today and already getting my new smile. What an exciting day and thanks to affordable dentures and implants for not only making this experience a pleasurable one but for making it affordable for me to actually get this done. It’s been a lifetime of dealing with my smile being less than perfect but now my confidence is back and I'm able to finally smile again thank you soooo much.

Everyone was great. One of the girls in the office was so kind because she knows I have agoraphobia so she made sure to make my appointments when they were not really crowded or busy.

Everyone is nice, especially the front staff. But I have been in a tremendous amount of pain. Prescriptions that I was told were sent over, were not sent over. Just so happens this went down right before closing on a Friday, for them to be closed for the weekend. Overall good experience, just disappointed that I couldn't get a hold of anyone to resolve the issue. Having my surgery next week for full extraction and dentures, and looking forward to it. As long as I am made comfortable and the pain is tolerable.

I love this place!! When it comes to your teeth, this place is quick to tend to your needs whatever it may be. I had a broken tooth on my denture and they replaced it with a lot of care, relined them and cleaned them so pretty. The staff is excellent and so friendly. I would recommend Affordable dentures & implants to everyone!!! Thank you all for your kindness. ❣️
