Prices and timing for receiving dentures
OK, right off the bat, it is impossible to construct decent dentures in two visits within 24 hours, or even 72 hours. Good dentures take 5 to 6 visits to construct correctly, then 3 to 4 visits of adjustments afterwards.
Anything less than this involves compromises. By the time a patient is perfectly comfortable with their new dentures, I have usually spent over two months on the project.
If you think you can get a decent dentures for $1100, much less $475, you are living in Fantasyland.
Would you expect to get a prosthetic leg for $475?! No? A set of dentures is much more difficult to construct.
Look I know your beloved mother is 90 years old and you don't want to spend any money on dentures because you don't think she will be around much longer.
It is doubtless also very difficult to transport her to the dental office. A smarter move would have been just to reline the dentures she had. That is a lot easier and costs a lot less money.
I am not sure why you chose a corporate dental chain clinic owned by a leveraged buyout group for your precious mother's care. Why did you think they would have truthful advertising and competent care?
It is all about rushing the young, inexperienced dentists employed there to bill the maximum revenues possible.
There are plenty of honest and competent dentists in private practice that do dentures. Find one of those guys next time.

First of all, I agree with the dentist that you should have saved as many teeth as practical. Too often, patients find they cannot wear lower full dentures.
They are not as stable as uppers because there is a tongue moving around down there.
But constructing a good lower partial is no easy thing to do. First of all, the teeth it connects to must be shaped right, or they must have crowns. Fabricating a partial denture takes good design, super-accurate impressions, and excellent lab work. Fabrication with shortcuts takes 4 or 5 appointments.
A dentist really cannot construct a good partial in the crumby environment that corporate dental clinics give them.
The labs they must use are mediocre in quality, often in China.
So sorry to hear you had a bad experience and lost a lot of money.
Perhaps with a lot of time and effort, you can recover some of it, and go to a dentist who owns his own practice and utilizes a quality lab. A good partial will not be cheap- I charge $1800 in my office.
