    Answered
    I went there to start the process of getting my top teeth removed and dentures was told by the dentist that they would put me in temporary dentures after the teeth extractions and permanent after my mouth had healed. Got teeth removed and got the temporary dentures and planned on getting implants done for the top set but they didn't submit a claim to my insurance for the part that I hadn't paid for so had to put the implants on hold until they submitted and got paid for the remaining balance after I paid my part. I call and would get no response or return of my phone call from them trying to figure out what was going on. So last Friday I called because I decided to get my permanent dentures and find somewhere else to get the implants done, now I'm being told 12 months later that the dentures I have are the only dentures I am getting. Keep in mind not only did the dentist tell me these were temporary in front of 2 witnesses because I had my mom and my husband there but the nurse told me the same thing in front of my husband when I complained these dentures were causing me pain. She told me to wait because the permanent ones that I would be getting would fit and I would get those when I got the implants. The girl I spoke with on the phone who is a very unpleasant individual would not give me her name and also hung up on me when I asked. Also I have witnesses to the phone call that I had with her as my father and husband were here and the phone was on speaker the entire time.

    I went to Affordable Dentures and they wouldn't see me w/o a CareCredit account. I got a CareCredit account then Affordable made dentures that aggravated the bottom front of my mouth and was I told "give it 10 days". I filed a dispute w/ CareCredit because I couldn't use the dentures and didn't think I should pay for something that wasn't as promised. Affordable scheduled an "adjustment" and a receptionist YELLED at me for filing the dispute. I was told to withdraw my dispute and they'd make an adjustment. They "adjusted" the bottom by SHORTENING it. The tech didn't listen when I said the ***** was bothering me but kept putting the bottom in / out / in / out / in / out, so much I left their office in considerable PAIN. They also told CareCredit I was "happy" with my dentures which I NEVER was. I was to give the adjustment "10 days" to get used to them, I gave them 3 weeks and was in constant pain. I called Affordable multiple times to schedule another appointment and left messages for them to call me but they never returned my calls. I went to my dentist and got a bottom denture made w/o a problem and returned Affordable's set for a refund. I contacted CareCredit and it would take 45 - 60 days for them to clear the dispute w/ Affordable and refund my payments.
