Everyone displays excellent professionalism
This was an amazing experience. I went in with a toothache and needing an extraction. They were so helpful in making sure the area was properly numb, that all the options had been presented before any procedure was done and then they still managed to pull the tooth with no issues. I had been to the emergency room for 5 hours the day prior with no relieve of the the toothache but within an hour of being at aspen dental I was was already pain free. I would recommend Dr. Terrell to anyone. He is the best and all the office workers are top notch.
I am really appreciative to the fantastic team at Aspen dental and the amount of care and attention to detail they put in/ had to help me get quality dental care after a long time of not visiting the dentist. Josh the Dental hygienist was not only very thorough but happily explained everything in detail in a very easy to understand way. Same goes to Dr. Rodriguez, her presence was very comforting and her knowledge was shared in a very digestible and non-judgemental way. Dr. Lee the specialist that comes once a month did my 4 wisdom teeth removal procedure without issue. Raven has been great at overseeing matters and helping figure out finances. Nico was super personable and helpful on the day of my wisdom teeth removal, not only offering great info but a friendly face/voice as well. Jessica has been such a warm and fun point of reference at the front desk that I really have appreciated. Thank you to the whole team and all your work to bring me a quality and functional smile. Highly recommend using this dental office.
Edit: also adding the swelling after the 4 wisdom teeth removal was so minimal, I went to a halloween party the next night and everyone was shocked. Credit to Dr. Lee and credit to the ladies of Aspen remembering I had a Halloween party planned and asking about it along with how my overall care and comfort has been. This is such a caring and talented team!

What are dental fillings?
A tooth filling is a restorative treatment that repairs a tooth that has been damaged by decay or minor fractures. When getting a filling, your dentist will remove any decay in your tooth and then fill the leftover space with either composite resin, glass ionomer or amalgam. This restores the shape, function and strength of your tooth while helping to minimize any discomfort or sensitivity.
