The dentist she was very sweet took her time. Talk to me, explained everything and the tech was really nice. Did everything gentle when doing the x-rays? My blood pressure was through the roof because I am so scared to death having 17 teeth pulled in one day but I think that she knows what she’s doing and if she couldn’t do it, she wouldn’t do it. I’ve only been there once and I really love their hospitality while they’re working.

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 😁
