Great service. Thank you very much.
They got me in and 1 day and resolved my problem on my dancers. I was so very thankful and they did it for a very fair price. I would recommend this place to anybody. I had left Venetian dental in Venice. Florida, it's called karma. They will get their if I had the time. I would go out there and hold a sign. And tell them. Venetian dental does not take care of their customers.
This office is genuinely one of the best dental offices I have ever been to. From the moment Hirbania, the hygienist, meets with you, you know that you're going to receive a good cleaning. She sees absolutely everything, and does a great job in taking notes of any questions or areas of concerns to pass along to the doctor. My cleanings are always thorough and done well, and she's super friendly, too.
Dr. Santeiro is also wonderful. Every time that I've had to see her, she takes time to explain what is going on in my mouth and what treatments make sense, given what she is seeing and my specific health history. I really value her honesty with me: she is very clear about what is necessary to protect my dental health, how treatments would help me, and potential consequences of doing the treatment versus not doing the treatment.
Also, I really appreciate how well the entire team works well together. I came in for an exam, x-rays, and cleaning, but when I needed further treatment, they were able to fit me in right after to complete the treatment - and the cost wasn't unreasonable, either. Instead of having to take additional time off work and scheduling another appointment, they were able to fit me in so I was able to get everything done on the same morning.
I 100% trust this office and their recommendations for my care. They are truly awesome and do a great job.
Root canal in Port Charlotte, FL
If you’re dealing with ongoing tooth pain or infection, a root canal may be the recommended treatment. At Aspen Dental in Port Charlotte, our care team provides root canal treatment close to home—so you don’t have to wait to feel relief.
What is a root canal?
A root canal is an endodontic treatment that cleans infection inside your tooth so we can save it instead of taking it out. If left untreated, the pulp that has nerves or tissue may die as a result of infection. Left untreated, an infected tooth can cause damage and lead to other issues. At Aspen Dental, your comfort is our priority at every step—we’ll explain everything and keep you comfortable throughout the process. If cost is what’s holding you back, don’t delay your visit—we accept most insurances and financing options—so you’ll know exactly what to expect.

Do I need root canal treatment?
You might need root canal treatment if you notice: tooth pain that doesn’t go away, sensitivity to hot or cold even after the infection is gone, pain when chewing, a cracked or broken tooth exposing the nerve, swelling in the gums or jaw, or a tooth that looks darker than the rest.
