Pulled tooth did a great job
The ladies in the office were very nice. I was there for my husband’s visit. My visit was the next day. They were able to get me in.
They completed our exam. We were cash pay. The payment was affordable. They really care about their patients here. I’m a new client moving forward:
I just wanted to take a moment to give a huge shout-out to Dr. G and her assistant at Aspen Dental on East Washington Street in Indianapolis!
I have severe anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist, especially when it involves extractions, so I was honestly pretty nervous going into my appointment. Dr. G and her assistant were absolutely amazing. They made me feel comfortable, listened to me, and helped ease my anxiety throughout the entire process.
I had extractions done, and I was honestly surprised by how well everything went. Afterward, I had some of the normal soreness you would expect from the stitches and healing, but I did not experience nearly as much pain as I was expecting.
I really appreciate the care, patience, and reassurance they showed me. When you’re someone who has a lot of anxiety about dental work, having a team that makes you feel safe and comfortable makes such a huge difference.
Thank you, Dr. G and your assistant, for making what I was expecting to be a very stressful experience so much easier!🤍
Root canal in Indianapolis, IN - E. Washington St
If you’re dealing with ongoing tooth pain or infection, a root canal may be the recommended treatment. At Aspen Dental in Indianapolis, 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.
