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.

I came in for a repair and with Joy's help was able to get a new set of dentures. She was helpful and kind. Dr Irvine is very good at what she does. She makes you feel comfortable and I would recommend her. The dental assistant is very gentle and kind.

These folks here are angels, from the front desk, to the dental assistant and then the amazing doctor Irvine. They are so good, they are professional, they are Kind and they goes out of their way to please. I tried more than four year's, with three other dentists to get this work done. AFFORDABLE was finished within 5 hours. I'm former military stationed in Europe and none of those doctors can compare to the incredible team I met here today. I'm still in awe. There was hardly any pain. I had abstractions, surgery, and replacement, all in one day. I'm grateful to God, and I thank you Dr Irvine and your team. Ya'll are the best.

I have had a ton of teeth pulled. This is the first time I have had no after pain. Like at all! The wait was long but it was my consultation so the fact they pulled the bad tooth that day. Awesome!

I always get great service. Your people are so friendly and patient. But still everything they have done and still my dentures isn't right. For what I paid I expect better teeth. I really am disappointed and wish I could just return them and get a refund.
