Lynnie was the best 10/10 helps you understand each thing she’s going to do and why and constantly check to make sure you’re good.
After getting off on April 13, I called Aspen Dental to ask about their emergency treatment and the lady on the phone was like OK let’s see what’s going on and let me direct you to the right procedure and place you need to be. She was awesome because she listened to everything I said and repeated everything back to me she was able to get me in for 830. I arrive 15 minutes early because I had some paperwork to fill out the young lady at the front desk with the glasses on was very helpful and knowledgeable of her job and helping me. When I was called to the back Miss Dyamond was doing my x-ray. She was very nice and she kept me calm while I was in pain. After the x-rays I met with Dr. Ofriel and he examined my mouth and seeing what the problem was, he explained what I needed to do. Then I met with Miss Christie And we went over finance and she found me the perfect plan to get out of pain and then she set me up for an appointment for 1:30, I came back at 1:15. Miss Dyamond called me to back. She prepped me for the procedure and why she was doing that I was talking to Dr. Ofriel About what’s gonna go on with the procedure he explained to me how many shots I needed to take once it’s over he said I needed to make sure I follow the paperwork that they gave me. The procedure took roughly about 20 minutes. It went smooth the doctor and Dyamond took very good care of me. I would recommend them to anybody if you go there make sure you see Dr. Ofriel and Miss Dyamond, they will take great care of you and your smile. Thank y’all so much

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.
