My experience went very well. They explained everything regarding my procedure. Very nice staff overall
The first day I came in my teeth were bad but I am now so satisfied quin helped me soo baddd omg I love herrr definitely she’s my everything
I had my wisdom teeth removed at Aspen Dental by Dr. Kabila, and I can honestly say it was one of the best healthcare experiences I’ve had.
Going into the procedure at my age(mid thirties), I was extremely hesitant, anxious, and frankly terrified that something might go wrong. However, Dr. Kabila and her entire dental team immediately put me at ease. From the very beginning, they were patient, understanding, and incredibly reassuring. Every question I had—before, during, and even days after the procedure—was answered thoroughly and without hesitation, which made a huge difference in calming my nerves.
The level of care I received didn’t stop at the procedure itself. The team made sure I was comfortable every step of the way, and their follow-up care showed how much they genuinely care about their patients.
I also want to give a special shoutout to Quin, the hygienist, who did my deep cleaning prior to the extraction. Quin was absolutely fantastic—thorough, gentle, and highly professional. I understand how important a clean, healthy mouth is in preventing infections before a procedure like this, and Quin exceeded all expectations.
Another thing that stood out was how accommodating the office was with scheduling. They worked with my availability and were able to get me in at a time that didn’t leave me waiting weeks or months, which I truly appreciated.
Overall, the entire staff was incredibly friendly, and management demonstrated excellent communication throughout the entire process. I left feeling genuinely cared for and confident in the treatment I received.
As strange as it may sound, I was overjoyed to have my wisdom teeth removed here.
10/10 — I would absolutely recommend Aspen Dental and Dr. Kabila to anyone in need of dental care

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.
