Bought my mom in for dentures and was blown away! From my initial call with Jennifer about my mom and what she was needing and the front staff, Aniya & Maya, they were perfect! 𤊠When we got to the X-rays she didnât have to take a slew of X-rays like previous visits we have done, which was a relief! Iâm so thankful for updated equipment! From the exam with Dr. Taylor, that was great as well and sheâs super knowledgeable and very helpful! Edwina went over my momâs treatment and with her financing her dentures, it was super affordable and very easy to understand! I will recommend Aspen McDonough to anyone! Iâm so excited to see my mom smile again and I canât wait to be a patient as well! Great job Aspen Dental McDonough!

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.
