Featured Reviews
Everyone was very nice and explained everything they were going to do. Made me comfortable. I am scared of dentist so they did well keeping me calm
everyone was nice and professional and I must say at 69 this is the first time I enjoyed my trip to the dentist.
i am scheduled to have at least 5 extractions of teeth that have abcessed and cause symptoms similar to sepsis such as extreme taste to food and drink alteration, malnutrition due to food and drink tasting terrible; chronic fatigue; rapid heart beat; electrolyte imbalance; and muscle wasting away. It has been a long 4 month journey with me in the medical center in dothan, alabama for 4 days, without getting a proper diagnosis. All along i felt like it was the condition of my teeth that was causing my issues. I decided to go to a biodentist in dothan that took no insurance,which i had, and the bill was upwards of 16,000.00, which i was not going to pay years on a payment plan for. I am on social security disability as well, and that factored into my financial decision. So i was going to dixieland dental who probably would have just pulled all the bad teeth and re-cemented my crown, but i was concerned about further infections and the fact that i may have mercury poisoning due to decayed areas around my 50 yr old silver fillings which are 50% mercury. So, aspen dental was who i decided to settle with and the first day there i felt great about the "care" and knowledge factor along with the professionalism, which carried through to my day two visit where one of the best and most knowledgeable dental hygienist....I should know her name.......dealt with me and gave me what is called a scaling and i left with oral antibiotics as well as antibiotic drops that were place near all abcesses. My next visit will be for images to be made of my teeth for the surgeon to know exactly how to remove each tooth that has issues and a new crown without metal on it put back on. The dental hygienist that dealt with me did not even have to use needles to deaden my gums around my teeth either which was a relief. I received instructions on what to do exactly after my scaling which involved going way below the gumline to de-plaque my teeth and open up avenues for antibiotics to be placed below the gumline in abcess locations. So i was also given a phillips water pic to flush plaque from between teeth; a prescribed toothpaste and mouthwash specifically designed to fight periodontal disease, and a new phillips electric toothbrush. So halfway through this process i give them five stars and i hope i can give them 55 stars at the end!!!!!!!!!

With local anesthesia, your Aspen Dental provider will keep you as comfortable possible. During your procedure, you may feel pressure as your tooth is removed. After your procedure, mild sensitivity is common and should fade after a short period of time. Your provider will provide you detailed after-care instructions and, if needed, medication to manage any discomfort.
Most patients feel much better within a few days. Surgical extractions, especially for wisdom teeth, may require a week or more to fully recovery. Healing is different for everyone and depends on things like your overall health, the complexity of your extraction and how well you follow after-care instructions.
You can usually remove gauze once bleeding has stopped, which may take a few hours after your procedure. Your provider will give you specific instructions to help you heal safely. It’s important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure you fully recover.
If your procedure involves sedation, fasting for several hours ahead of your visit may be required. Your provider will let you know exactly how to prepare. For simple extractions with local anesthesia only, fasting is usually not necessary. If you have questions, reach out to your local Aspen Dental office for further details.
Soft foods are recommended for the first 24 to 48 hours. Options include yogurt, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, soft pastas and smoothies. As healing progresses, you can reintroduce solid foods when it feels right for you.
Make sure to avoid crunchy, sticky or very hot foods until cleared by your provider.
Follow all after-care instructions given to you by your provider. Typically, you’ll be guided to: Avoid smoking or vaping, keep your head elevated, use ice to reduce swelling. Once cleared by your provider, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing gently around the area of your extraction.
