Featured Reviews
My first appointment went great! Checking in only took a few minutes, the receptionist was lovely! I was called in right after I was done filling out all my information. Everyone was very polite & nice. My teeth are absolutely terrible & I am glad to be able to start taking the steps to obtaining some kind of teeth! The dentists were kind, explained everything to me. I am sure they were thinking girl what the heck once they seen my mouth. But there was no judgement, just reassurance! Now what really brought it home was when it came time to figure out my payment plan. Dental work is costly! I can't think of her name, * I am sorry when you guys from Aspen Dental read this* but she was so understanding. She could see I was nervous. She went over everything with me & helped me to understand it better. She found the best option for me and what fit my budget & I left feeling confident with my decision. My next appointment is in May and I am looking forward to it! As a kid my teeth were never straight, overcrowded. I am looking forward to having a smile I will feel confident with!
This is my first time at Aspen Dental. They are so nice ,professional,and I would recommend them to anyone.
All good

If you’re dealing with ongoing tooth pain or infection, a root canal may be the recommended treatment. At Aspen Dental in Lavale, 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.
