Get answers to frequently asked questions in our practice.

The most affordable way to get dentures or implants in your area, , depends on your specific needs and how you're paying. Many patients start with traditional full or partial dentures to keep upfront costs manageable, then add stability with implants or implant-supported dentures when they're ready. Another common approach is to go with an implant-supported denture on the bottom and a traditional denture on top, which can be a lower investment than implant-supported dentures on both arches.

At Affordable Dentures & Implants, we believe cost shouldn't be the reason someone goes without treatment. That's why we offer options at multiple price points, a variety of payment strategies, and work with you at every step to find a plan that fits your dental needs and your budget.

How you pay also affects your options. Cash, FSA/HSA funds, insurance coverage, and financing each open up different paths, and it's worth knowing upfront which apply to you. Your our practice dentist will walk you through costs and financing options after your exam so you can compare what's within reach.

Everyone was really nice and professional. They said it would take all day and believe them, it'll take all day but it was worth it. My dentures look great. Ill probably have to have another visit for adjustments but that's typical. The staff had everything running smoothly and I recommend going here to everyone.

My dentist and assistant went the extra mile to make me feel at ease for an extraction. They gave me small breaks when I asked due to the problems with the tooth. Going to the dentist has always been apprehensive for me, but they put me at ease. Thank you for making my experience so much better. Delena Williams, Stigler, OK
