If you want to be treated like home, come to Aspen Dental. They are very professional, respectful. This is my second time I come to them and I am very satisfied, so is my husband.
I couldn't be more pleased!
I came in for a new patient appointment postpartum and worried my dental health took a turn due to mental health concerns!
Prior to this appointment I came in with my infant and immediately was told due to X-rays I couldn't be seen- NO WORRIES! I was taken back and given a Saturday appointment. The young lady as so kind and squeezed me in ( I can't thank her enough)
My hygienist Amir was so kind and so educational and actually took the time to explain what I needed and why! Dental degradation runs in my family so I prioritize my oral health! The office manager Dayani was so so kind. Taking the time to explain my treatment plan and get the care I needed.
Dr. Patel was very supportive and thorough about my filling. Made sure I was numbed and it took all of 30 mins... I've had fillings take hours. She took 30 mins!!
As a new mom I rarely have time for myself! They went above and beyond to make sure I got what I needed for myself!
The ENTIRE STAFF was warm, attentive and efficient! I'm so glad I decided to come in and get a second opinion and my annual done!
After 60 years, yes 60 my dentures are on the bottom broke. I was a bit leery about having a new set because the ones I had never had a problem ever. From the minute, I walked in the staff was friendly. I was a fellow in the lab that came into assist. Alexa was friendly, and Alexa herself was amazing.. She came up with the idea of how to fix my teeth so they would feel comfortable as the old. I walked out of that place very very satisfied. Alexa herself deserves a raise or promotion both. Thank you all for treating me so kindly and making me happy.

What are wisdom tooth extractions?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to erupt, usually in the late teens or early twenties. Not all wisdom teeth require removal—but when they cause pain, crowding or infection, tooth extraction is often the most effective solution. If the tooth is fully visible, it can usually be removed with forceps under local anesthesia. For teeth that are impacted or partially emerged, a minor surgical procedure may be needed. Your Aspen Dental care team will walk you through which option is best for you and explain how we minimize discomfort.
