I swear I have Never in my 67 years of life, have met a Group of People who was so Compassionate and Caring about how I felt. So Professional, they take that Hippocratic Oath of Do No Harm seriously. I am a big baby terrified of dentist due to bad handling previously in my hometown. I was shaky because of so much pain due to infection from a broken tooth that I was trying to self medicated. My fault. I was treated as a walk in because I was in so much pain, I felt like running in front of a bus to end it all. I was jacked up, I think I sat and moaned for about 8 mins my face swollen and a headache from hell. From the time I went back to exam and X-ray .
I knew in my soul I was in the right place.
The Doctor was amazing showed me everything and explained about I had to get rid of infection prior my upcoming shoulder replacement
I told her I was scared of sepsis, well that's just where I was headed. But I am there and we were gonna head it off at the pass. They are going to notify my Surgeon as to line of Care. I have never felt so SAFE. I look forward to going back in a week to see how these antibiotics worked. I am in no pain after 3 days of no sleep in constant pain and finally can bend my Head down with no dizziness. I thank Swedes hospital referring me to them.Aspen Dental actually saved my life today. If you're are a chicken like me, this is the place to go to.
I hope this testimony will help others
If you got problems, this is the place to go to. I Thank God for this place and the Staff in this place. Quit suffering and self medicating, praying death to a leave pain.
Just Go to Aspen and Be ministered to by The Angels who walk amongst us.
God Bless you 🙏🏽
Thank you Aspen for saving me.
I’m glad I switched to this Dentist after hoping around different places. The staff here is so kind and non judgmental. I came in today for a regular cleaning with Sky and I was very pleased with her service. She answered all my questions and offered me multiple options for my care plans. I recommend this place to all my coworkers since we all have the same insurance 🥰
This Aspen Dental is one of the best places I have gone too and I will keep recommending them to everyone. They are very understanding and nice. When I panicked because of my anxiety they were not mean and did not get attitude about me panicking. They were so understanding. They made 100% sure that I was never in pain and they also clearly tell you instructions for home. 10/10 for Aspen.
What is a dental bridge?
A dental bridge is a long-term and natural-looking way to replace one or more missing teeth. Designed to match the shape and color of your natural teeth, a bridge helps restore your smile with a seamless look. Beyond appearance, bridges support your oral health too—making it easier to chew, speak clearly and keep your teeth properly aligned.
What types of dental bridges are there?
Not sure which bridge is right for you? The best option depends on where your missing tooth is, how healthy your teeth are, and the health of your surrounding structure.Traditional, fixed bridge
This is the most common option. It uses crowns on both sides of the gap to hold the replacement tooth in place. Traditional bridges are strong and durable, making them a trusted choice for patients missing one or more teeth in the same area.
Cantilever bridge
Used when there is only one natural tooth next to the gap, a cantilever bridge relies on a single anchor tooth for support. While less common, it can be effective when other options are not available.
Maryland bridge
This conservative option attaches the replacement tooth using porcelain or metal wings bonded to the back of neighboring teeth. It requires less preparation but may not be as durable for areas that take heavy chewing pressure.
Implant-supported bridge
The most stable option, this type uses dental implants instead of natural teeth for support. Implant-supported bridges provide excellent strength and longevity, making them ideal for patients seeking a permanent solution.
