Affordable Dentures or All Care for mini implants? - Dental Health Message Board

Hi,

Just wondering if any one here has any experience with either Affordable Dentures or All Care for the minis? Looking for a place close to Louisville Ky
that is reasonable and does it right. I have heard both bad and good about AD but very little about All Care. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Places like AD or AC should be avoided if at all possible. They are dental mills that can only be in business by producing a lot more. This means the dentists are forced to work faster than normal and the quality of care goes down.
If you are looking to save money, go to your local dental school. They have the lower prices and have some of the best quality control. They will also stand behind their work, which no mill will do. What you don't pay in money you will pay in time (students are just slower), but you won't sacrifice your results.

Strat,

Thanks for the reply, yes I have all ready checked here with the Dental School and have had work done before there. They are good but the wait and the procedures just take forever. Plus I have been told they don't do the top mini implants,they do but you have to pay full price as the regular Dentist there do them not the students.
I don't like the idea of going to the mill run places either but have read where some have had good results, at least with AD. Really have heard much about All Care and they seem to be through out the east coast. I know it is a risk but the thing is I have heard others that have had similar problems with regular Dentist. In fact I have top Dentures through one long ago and never really been happy with the appearance. Just thought someone here might of used them or could recommend someone in Louisville.

I had my dentures made at Affordable Dentures (no implants) and I know someone who just had the mini implants at the same place. We were treated good tho it did take a while for them to get done. Mine took 2 days and hers took 1 day to implants and she has to go back for something. The one I went to will stay open till 9-10pm if they have to to get everyone done that was there for a one day procedure. I will be going back this summer to get a lower partial.

I would ask people around your area if they have been to either of those 2 in your area. When you are working with a franchise some things in each one can be different.

Thanks for the Info, So you are happy with your dentures? Did the person you know who got the mini implants get it for the lower denture. The bottom is what I am worried about as want to make sure they stay stable.
I do have the option of getting a lower partial but with only 4 regular teeth and they are not in great shape. The problem they are both about 30 miles from me and don't know anyone that has used either.

Thanks,
