Botched dental implants

Went to the office in Harrisburg, PA. One of the questions I had was follow up as I move from job assignments every 4 months or so. Dentist told me I could go to any Affordable Dentures practice for follow-up. I had pain immediately from their ripping my teeth out, bone spurs left in, etc. I went back and they didn't do anything. Then I attempted to make an appointment at an office in Mn and a few weeks later in Memphis. Both times I was told they don't work on teeth that was done at a different office. They put in 4 implants but only 3 sockets in the denture. This forces the implant without the socket straight into my jawbone causing immense pain and it is getting loose in the bone. 8 weeks later I still cannot eat solid foods. My experience and opinion is they do not care about the welfare of the patient. Socrates oath means nothing to these people, all they care about is money. A class action lawsuit should be started for medical malpractice.

Wow, you went to a cheesy chain clinic to get a complicated thing like implants and an implant-supportdd denture. That is like going to McDonald's expecting to get a five-course French banquet served by a waiter.

You picked the wrong place, buddy.

Denture patients are always looking for the cheapest way out. They believe getting dentures made is like shopping for a toilet plunger at the hardware store- thinking the only factor should be price.

Now you got to pay big bucks to have this mess straightened out by a dentist like you should have gone to in the first place.

Nice move!

In addition, it was a mistake to get this huge task undertaken when you are moving from place to place. No dentist wants to treat another dentist's post-op problems.

I agree they only care about money as I still have bone fragments left that is why my dentures don't fit.. We should file a lawsuit...

Affordable Dentures - Tooth Extraction Review from Granite Falls, North Carolina

Afford Dent Conover, NC (04/13-11/14) They Suck in all aspects!! Bagley has no beside manner, rushes so he can hurry to his lunch break, doesnt read chart on what needs to be done...Williamson is just as bad like he's scared and like fresh out of some type of Dentist *** school and constantly says " oh, Im not saying that or " oh, I didnt say that." Wasted money w that consult cause he told me nothing I didnt already know! Idiots! The office bumps up appts without checking w you first or changes the day! Im so livid w this joke of an office since my first appt in 2013! Partial was screwed up by Bagley rushing ...Maestro tried to make a new one that day and even that turned out warped and has caused me "daily" headaches for over a yr and on top of wearing against two of my other teeth that were fine! Im a cash pt and the hurry up and wait BS is rediculous! Got my fiance' in and for teeth to be pulled and they screwed his appt time and day up without notification prior and they pulled out part of his upper jaw scull with his molar and we have the tooth still! RIPPED his gum up totally and that was last wk and they screwed it up so bad he required more than 7 stitches and has parts of bone coming out---not tooth...jaw/skull! Pathetic as so called dentists! They all perform like they are scared! They just tried to tell me my appt was bumped up to 7:30 tomorrow a.m and it was scheduled for 9 a.m wks ago due to job hrs and available transportation! Really! Are u kidding me?!!! I WENT OFF! Beyond my norm! Pissed and Im done w this *** office after teeth pulled tomorrow as Im getting my perm partial(Valplast) after a yr and a 1/2! DONE! Going to go back to the REAL dentist I had and dropped for this BS group! Just last wk a woman was in there pissed off because either Bagley or Williamson(both are black) pulled the wrong tooth out of her daughters mouth...and this mother was in her early 50's! The poor people that are dealing with this BS as well as my experience is enough to require shutting down this pathetic office! Totally livid! Watch yourself and BE LEARY and stand your ground! Go to a real dentist!

So why did you leave your dentist to go to a clinic like this?

Sometimes part of the maxilla (part of the skull) breaks off when a tooth is extracted. The lesson is to take care of one's teeth and not have them extracted.

The only tooth I lost is because a dentist drilled into theroot. The tooth abcessed.

He kept telling my mother cavities, cavities, cavities. Went for a second opinion. Said tooth was beyond saving. Second opinion dentist revealed NO cavities.

LYING, CROOK. I was 14. Fortunately, mouth was over crowded, so no appliance needed.

Not the tooth the good dentist would have removed, but no choice. You sound like a pompous ***.

Affordable Dentures in Winchester, Va

I traveled over 75 miles one way, the dentures were horribly crooked, no one would have accepted them. I am so glad I had them refund when they wouldn't fix problem without more money. I went to a dentist closer to me, got a terrific upper denture I can live with for years. I had to make two trips at over 75 miles each way total of 300 miles plus out of my pocket. This is just wrong. My husband and I are both severely disabled and this was just plain wrong. I went to buy one set of dentures, they said I had to buy two, proved them wrong when new dentist just made uppers, refused to fix problem where they made them crooked, thus very crooked smile, midline was badly off. Just a refund is NOT enough cause I am still out the cost of the gasoline and my time. Also, now they say they took care of the matter and they DID NOT.

So why was it you THOUGHT you would save money driving 70 miles to a *** corporate denture clinic? Was it the TV advertising?

Affordable Dentures - Disrespectful Customer Treatment Review

I worked at affordable dentures in Austin, and bad taste and bad manners are indicative of everyone's attitude in the office especially in the lab whereas you have the lab manager who thinks because people come there with Medicaid or Medicare they should be treated in a different fashion and manner.The quality of teeth and the construction of the teeth are ridiculous. The dentures were mixed up at times. There was always talk about the condition of paients teeth and general appearence, the fact that they could spot a poor person on assistance, just general disregard for decency and respect for the people that pay their bills. I complained to corp to the Dr. they investigated and after a week or two of change for the better it was back to the same, that's why I resigned from there

Terrible experience in Harrisburg PA office!

Went to get a replacement upper set of dentures after breaking mine. They were very friendly up to taking my money, but after that it became scary and horrible! Rupinder Mann, DMD, was beyond rude, she was pushy and argued with everyone who came in with a complaint. While I was there nearly everyone was there to complain about dentures they had gotten that did not fit, were made crooked.....ect. She ARGUED NON-STOP with every patient. They tried 3 times to get mine right and while I was waiting for the 4th fitting I overheard her being rude and arguing again with another patient behind me. He was telling her he was planning to sue her. I turned in my chair and asked her "Do you have to argue with everyone?" SHE FLIPPED..STARTED SCREAMING AT ME AND TOLD ME TO LEAVE HER OFFICE IMMEDIATELY THAT SHE WAS NOT MAKING DENTURES FOR ME. I tried to talk to her, but she screamed to the lab in the back to stop making my dentures and ordered me out of her office. The gentleman she was arguing with assured me he had an attorney and would have them contact me. I called the 800 number to file a complaint, but the told me that each office is owned by individual dentists and they have no control over what happens in the offices. They were forced of course to give me a full refund, but it did take almost a week for the money to go back into my bank account. In the mean time I am still looking for someone suitable to get me some new dentures while enduring wearing a 13 yr old pair that do not fit. Hope you think more than twice before going to this dentist. I am still considering filing a suit against her. Good luck!

She is beyond disrespectful and rude. I will never go there or refer anyone go to affordable dentures.

I wasn't happy with the dentures they made because they were to big. I told her her the dentures do not fight she told me go somewhere else if your not happy. And that's what I did..

Affordable dentures is very unprofessional.

Guest

This is 7-30-2014. Unprofessional is not the word I would use.

This Dr. Mann never introduced herself, was pushy & beyond rude. Her light was in my eyes & when I mentioned this she became irritated. Telling me it was fine & it was not.

She started yelling & screaming at me about the light as she was leaning toward me. I went to get up after I asked if I could put my sunglasses on to which she rudely said fine. When I went to get up she kept yelling at me. I said I can go elsewhere.

She freaked out. She was screaming & waving her arms for me to get out of her office. I asked for her name in which she took her finger & pointed to the name tag & said here it is. I also asked for a card & the name of the 2 dental assistants which she refused to give me.

I asked the dental assistant for their names & she also refused & told me to leave all the time this Dr. Mann was screaming at me. When I walked out by reception area the receptionist gave me the names. I was shaking, I was scared of what this Dr was going to do.

I called the police to have an incident report. The one officer who went in to talk to her stated she was loud & pushy. I am filing a complaint with the ADA today. I would NEVER recommend this place as long as she is there.

I never had this issue when Dr.

Sullivan was there.

Dot, sorry to hear you had to experience the same explosive person I had to deal with. I don't know how she is keeping her practice.

She is completely out of control. Wish I would have called the police now. But, the receptionist did assure me that my insurance would not be billed. But guess what...they billed my insurance, and the insurance company paid for dentures I did not get.

Lucky for me that I was able to catch it on a statement from the insurance company. I had to write a complaint to the insurance company and explain my situation and how she had thrown me out without my dentures. The insurance company did recover the money and took it out of the next claim her office filed.

But I guess she thought she could get by with it, at least she was willing to be dishonest enough to try to get the money. She is certainly giving Affordable Dentures a bad reputation!

TOO MANY DAYS TO GET IT FIXED....

HAD BROKEN DENTURE AND CALLED SO I COULD GET IT FIXED BECAUSE WITHOUT THEM I CAN'T EAT. I COULN'T GET AN APPOINTMENT FOR AT LEAST 5 DAYS...SO I CALLED AFFORDABLE DENTURE AND THEY TOOK ME THE SAME DAY AND FIXED THEM FOR ME. I THINK ASPEN STINKS WHEN IT COMES TO AN EMERGENCY....THEY SHOULD HAVE SOME TIME SAVED FOR EMERGENCYS SO THEY CAN FIX THINGS LIKE THIS. IT DIDN'T TAKE VERY LONG TO FIX THEM AND WAS SATISFIED WITH THE WORK THEY DID. I WILL RECOMMEND AFFORDABLE DENTURES TO MY FRIENDS AND TELL THEM MY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH ASPEN.

From one sleazy corporate dental clinic to another....

Denture patients never learn. That is why they lost their teeth.

Guest
reply icon Replying to comment of Guest-920689

Why would you say sleazy corporate dental clinic? Some people have had complaints that regular dentists don't get it right either.

And to say this is why they lost their teeth you are insane. I've had yearly dental exams all my life. I was told when in my late 20's I would eventually need dentures. This is why I took care of my teeth all these years.

I am 54 years old and fighting a losing battle. You can't say people do not try such as my case.

Frankly your an uninformed *** to say the least.

Poor craftmanship, purchased top product

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
My temporary never fit rite but i delt with it. Today i went to get my permanent, lost a days work to do so, and the temporary is better craftmanship than the permanent. The fit is horable, the rite tooth in back of the canine tootj is broken off and left that way for me to find after i got home an hour away. Was told to leave it in untill tomorrow but took them out because of narrow discomfort to find this broken off tooth. Unbelieavablely bad thing to do to a person that paid in full for service Knowing their an hour away. Whoever made my denture at the tracy ca facility needs retraining in eye corrodenation, and evenly setting molds, my center is even offset to my rite. The people were very nice but to find these issues in craftsmanship is unexceptable, affordable or not. Ill miss another days work untill this is corrected, at a different facility. Two times of poor craftmanship is enough from the same technician facility. Id rather have professional eye detail even proper fitting and spacing in product than a friendly greeting now for sure. This is very inconvienent and i did purchase their top of the line model for such an awefull fit sent on my way with a broken tooth inside. My goodness

So considering the days off from work, the travel costs for the long distance (real vehicle operating costs are about 60 cents per mile), you really did not save any money going to that place, did you?

Over and over again, I see the same thing. Patients go to a place with the word "Affordable" in the business name, and end up spending more money that if they had gone to a competent and honest dentist in their neighborhood!

Full set of dentures for first time user

I thought that I could not afford to go to a denture. Specialist.so I went to affordable dentistry they gave me a temp. Set to take with me to my oral surgeon . He removed my teeth and put my temp.denture in it was so poorly made that it caused me enormous pain it also made me look 15 to 20 years older.I went back to get final denture thinking that it would work better since I had paid for the most expensive package that they had but it was not much better than the temp.they don't set whole teeth in to your denture and they put the teeth in front of your gum on top and bottom .so when you wear the denture it pulls and puckers your mouth your teeth only extend about one eight of an inch from gum line so eating is very difficult. I suggest that if u need dentures do some research before handing some one 1800$ when a little more will get u something that u can actually use .I wasted my money with affordable dentistry and now I still have to come up with another 3,000$ to get something that I can wear and be able to eat with in public.

Affordable Dentures in Tooeka,KS are awesome. Dr.Wexler has been a Dentist for many years and they don't stop until you are completely satisfied.

The denture fits so snug on my lower I didn't even need glue once my gums healed and they realigned. I need to go back one more time to have my denture realigned after complete healing and receding but I know it will be perfect, It was perfect last time they did an alignment. I still don't need glue but beginning to get a Lil loose and off center, so one more time will do me in about a month. This is for my lower denture only.

I had my upper done a couple years earlier by another Dentist and paid a lot of money on top of my insurance. I paid less than $700. For extraction and denture, no insurance. It cost me twice that after insurance for my upper from another dentist.

And Personally? partials are a waste and nothing but a hassle to wear.

1. As you found out too late, it is much better to hang on to at least some natural teeth, rather than having them all pulled.

2.

Doing partial and full dentures that look good, fit well, and allow good speaking and eating is one of the most difficult and time consuming tasks we dentists do. It takes years to learn how to do it well. It is unlikely you will find these skills as some cheap clinic.

3.If full dentures are the option the patient selects, ALWAYS the most accurate way of doing this is removing all the teeth, trimming the bone, sewing the gum together, and letting it heal for at least 3 months. Only then can the impressions be taking.

Doing it like you did ALWAYS entails compromise in the fit.

4. Just to let you know, dentures done the RIGHT way taking 5 or 6 appointments and using quality materials will cost at least $1500 EACH. When you pay less, you get a lot of shortcuts, which compromise the final results.

5. Everyone things getting dentures is like picking up parts at a hardware store, and you should only shop for parts.

Nothing could be farther from the tooth.

Each denture must be carefully crafted for a patient's mouth. It is something purely custom, just like a prosthetic leg.

Sorry, I cannot divulge my identity on this forum for fear of corporate lawyers.

Thank you, I appreciate the compliment. There are dentists like me all over, but never in corporate clinics.

To find us, just ask any prospective dentist the following questions:

1. Do you still do silver amalgam fillings?

2. Can you do gold inlays and onlays?

3. Do you use custom trays for partial and full denture impressions?

4.

Do you use a rubber dam for most restorative work?

If the answers are all yes to the above, you have your man or woman. You will find that guys and gals like this tend to be over 35, and are frequently ex-military dentists.

Why do you recommend going to an ER? The MDs there do not extract teeth or do root canals.

Why do your family members wait until they are pain to go to the dentist?

Affordable Dentures - Dentures Review from Beaverton, Oregon

I had upper and lower partials made and after adjustments were made and the six month grace period passed I discovered a major flaw in the upper denture which has rendered them to painful to wear. They don't answer their phones and I am still waiting on a call back from them to see if this is repairable. If I had it to do again I would have spent the extra money and gone to my own personal dentist.

It is better to overpay than underpay for a service.

If you had gone to a capable but very expensive dentist, you would have only sacrificed the extra money you paid. Having gone to the cheapest place, you lost all the money you paid, and will have to pay for someone else over to do the job right. For your information, decent partial dentures made without shorcuts will cost between $1400 and $1900 around my part of the country

I went to the pooler ga affordable dentures and had a full set. My face was swollen for weeks and my eye also. I was in a lot of pain and called the office 10 times. Finally got in to see the dentist and he told me no pain no gain. He is rude and has no bed side matters at all. I had to go to the ER to get a shot of antibiotic and something for pain. I called the dentist again and the lady at the office told me not to call again cause I would have to just deal with the pain. No one go to this dental office they are rude and don't care that You hurt. When I was having teeth pulled that day he didn't even wait for the gel to take affect before he started pulling them and I was in so much pain I was crying and he didn't care at all.

Sad you had these problems. But remember you went to this cheesy chain, instead of a competent and caring dentist who owned his owned practice, because you wanted a cheap deal.

Well, you got one, and you got it good and hard. Now are you happy you tried to save money this way?

You also know now why dentists have been telling you all your life to take care of your teeth and not have them all pulled. The surgery can be ***.

Too late for you. Warn everyone about the *** mistake you have made.

The person who wrote the comments above is another ripoff dentist.

NOT ALL PEOPLE HAVE TONS OF MONEY to pay for expensive dentists.

MOST DENTISTS ARE IN for THE MONEY ONLY.

I just found that out with a NO GOOD one.

I am so gald that I got the message above. I had called this local dentist which is AFFORDABLE DENTURES.

They had no time to talk with me. But i had learned from a previous dentist that wanted to rip me off. I was smarter than they were.

I did not contract their services. THANK GOD.

Yeah, I rip patients off by trying to talk some sense into them. I plead with them to save their natural teeth so they will not go through the agony this patient has gone through.

Over and over again I do the calculations, and having all your teeth yanked out, bone contouring, and complete dentures is almost never the cheapest option.

But you know better. You have incredible knowledge about the subject compared to me just because your have read mountains of garbage on the internet.
