Dental services in San Luis Obispo, CA

Very affordable. No pressure. Asks the patient what they would like to do. I usually have extensive very high anxiety at the dentist but I was not anxious at all and they even took my blood pressure. You wont be disappointed.

The personnel are amazingly awesome. No surprise costs. Truly professional customer service. Definitely worth visiting for your dental care needs. Thank you ASPEN team.

I've never reviewed a dental office like this. Unfortunately, I have a long history of dental issues and, even worse, a string of terrible dental experiences. It took me years to find a dental office and oral surgeon I truly trusted—both of whom retired in 2017. Since my last dental visit in 2018 or 2019, I’ve been searching for a new provider I could feel confident about, and was not judgmental. I had a clear checklist in mind: I wanted a modern facility that keeps up with the latest technology, a fully staffed team (because that tells me the work environment is healthy and people like their jobs), a spotless office (you’d be surprised how many aren’t), and a staff that exudes confidence (because if they’re nervous, it makes my anxiety even worse lol). Long story, short—Aspen Dental in San Luis Obispo checked all my boxes, and then some. They never pressure me into treatments I’m uncomfortable with and provide education at whatever level you’re comfortable with. For example, I like to know everything—what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, all the details. My husband, on the other hand, prefers to get in and out with minimal conversation. They can accommodate both of us perfectly. I recently had a two-hour deep cleaning appointment + a mouth cancer screening they offer (LOVED IT btw. Gave me peace of mind). A good chunk of that time was spent on prep and education, which I appreciated. The cleaning itself was incredibly thorough—I recommend asking to be numbed beforehand because they really get in there. Not in a bad way, just very deep and detailed. You might be a little sore afterward, but it's worth it. Also, she knew how to administer novocaine shots with minimal pain. Trust me, I know, I've had many shots that were not as pleasant. If you’ve made it this far—just book the appointment. Face your fears. (And if you’re really nervous, 50mg of diphenhydramine about 30–60 minutes beforehand can help you relax. Thats what I did!) :)
