I went to Affordable Dentures in New Port Richey in November 2025. Dr Vlad and the staff were very nice and very easygoing, but this turned out to be one of the biggest mistakes I have ever made and definitely the worst experience I've ever had. I made an appointment to start the procedure before my procedure I had to pay $7,500 up front. Before the surgery I made it very clear to the doctor, the front and back staff that I cannot under any circumstances take pain medication (opioids). They gave me several lidocaine injections during the procedure to numb my mouth while pulling my teeth. After the procedure they prescribed antibiotics for an infection and steroids for swelling. About a week later I called and spoke to the doctor to ask for a refill on the antibiotics, because the infection didn't resolve. I picked up the prescription and took one immediately. When I got home, something didn't feel right. My wife read the bottle and it was hydrocodone. He called in by accident. That was just the beginning of a 6-month long nightmare. I went back for my temporary adjustment and the tech shaved down the wrong side of the top denture and it lost the suction. When she realized what she had done, she put a ton of glue on it and sent me home, then told me that I would have to come back another day. My next appointment was during the Christmas holiday. The regular technicians were not in that day. There were two female dental students working. The doctor told them they would have to reline the dentures. They tried to reline them, but neither of them had any experience at all and they should not have been touching a patient's mouth. My teeth were too far back into my mouth by about a half inch and cutting the back of my jaw. Instead of trying to reline them the proper way, they put my dentures on a grinder and grinded close to half inch off of them. They sent me home like that and said that I would have to reschedule after the holidays when the regular technicians were back. I could go on and on, but I have 3 hours of video documenting my experience that I will be posting online soon. 7 months later I still cannot eat solid foods or speak correctly with my dentures in and I lost 18 lbs. After a dozen visits, they said I can drop off my permanent dentures (meaning that I have to give them back) and they will refund $1,900 of the $7,500 I spent. Do not go to this place! Just so you know, when they make your permanent teeth, the material they use for the mold is extremely thick and it's made of wax. They tell you not to worry and it will be beautiful when it's finished, but the wax mold is much thicker than the actual permanent dentures will be so they're not similar at all which makes them not fit correctly and completely inaccurate. You must approve the final mold and sign a form stating that you approve before they will make the final dental appliance. This is when they tell you not to worry and it's going to be perfect, but it's definitely nowhere close to perfect. The last time I visited this office, the lab tech who made the dental appliance came into the exam room and I showed him how crooked my dentures were and he stated that "it adds character" he literally had no suggestions for improvement. I should have known better, when they continue to ask me for a good review, even before starting any work. STAY AWAY!

I should have came here years ago. If you need an exceptional dentist, Dr. Vlad and his team will make you feel so comfortable as soon as you meet them. You can tell they are very passionate about their clients. They go with what you want and they do not pressure you with upselling. I had an extraction and 2 single implants. Dr Vlad explained everything he was doing. He was concerned with my wellbeing. He is extremely a compassionate doctor. Dr. Vlad numbed my mouth to wear I did not feel anything during the procedure. I was enjoying the music playing in the operating room! I felt as ease the whole time. Thank you Affordable Dentures in New Port Richey! You All really know how to aww a patient!

Dr. Vald and and staff had made my visit a great experience especially with all the stress I had carrying around that finally made decide to make the appointment to see what it would cost to have the work done. So when it all came down to it, with what I choose to have done, they figured out my share after dental insurance and it fell into my budget. Made the appointment to have the molds made and within a week from consulting to procedure I have a new set of teeth that has changed how I feel about myself. I cannot thank you all enough for how I was treated from the care of you and your staff. Thank you again for everything!
