Your best option will be resolve this matter with Affordable Dentures. Medical malpractice cases are very expensive to pursue and very difficult to win - few settle and those that are tried are won by the doctor (or dentist) 9 out of 10 times. Those cases which have the best chance for a good outcome for the plaintiff are those where a clear act of negligence, or omission of appropriate care, are clearly apparent in the medical record. Much of what you describe will be evidence based upon your word against the dentist's word.
Visiting the Affordable Denture website, http://www.affordabledentures.com/satisfaction/, there is this statement:
Patient Satisfaction Commitment
In providing dentures for you, our Patient Satisfaction Commitment simply means we want you to be completely satisfied with the services you receive at the practice. This applies not only to the AFFORDABLE DENTURES® that are provided, but also to the kind of patient care you deserve to receive. Our goal is to do the best we can to meet your expectations as we help you with your experience in wearing dentures.
