What are general dentistry services?

General dentistry includes: routine checkups, hygiene services (dental cleanings), dental fillings (cavity fillings), extractions for damaged or crowded teeth, periodontal treatment or gum disease therapy, crowns, bridges and root canals. These services maintain oral health and help prevent more serious problems. Your Aspen Dental provider will build a plan tailored to your needs and lifestyle.

What should I do in case of an emergency?

Call your Aspen Dental office right away. Our providers aim to see emergency cases quickly, often the same day you call or walk in. Severe pain, swelling, a broken tooth or uncontrolled bleeding should never be ignored. Immediate treatment helps prevent further complications, so call or walk in if you have an emergency.

Does dental insurance cover general dentistry services?

Most insurance plans cover preventive services like hygiene services, cleanings, exams and X-rays. Coverage for crowns, root canals or cosmetic dentistry services can vary. At Aspen Dental, we accept most insurance plans but do not accept Medicaid. Before your treatment, we’ll review your benefits with you, explain your coverage and discuss payment plan options as needed.

What is the difference between dental cleaning and periodontal treatment?

Standard dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar above the gum line. Periodontal treatment goes deeper, targeting buildup below the gum line to specifically treat gum disease. After your exam, your provider will recommend the right option based on your gum health.

The whole staff is very friendly and willing to answer,any questions you may have or any concerns you may have. They definitely make you feel at ease. This was my 1st visit and I have a very high anxiety when it comes to needles and dentists in general,but not here. The dentist promised me I wouldn't feel the needle and I believe him. I finally found a dentist I feel comfortable with and feel I can trust. Will definitely be going back. I need my teeth pulled and the best part is I'll be walking out with dentures the same day. It's GREAT I'll finally be able to not only smile again,but have the smile i use to have thanks to them. My appt is coming up to get my teeth pulled and normally my anxiety due to needleswould be through the roof but not with this team, i am but more excited know. My appt is coming up to have my teeth pulled,the team made me feel very comfortable and relaxed to the point I am really looking forward to seeing them again and going to my appt. I'm feeling like an excited child waiting for christmas

Such a wonderful experience here! Friendly staff, very knowledgeable assistants, hygienists, and dentists. The assistant was great at giving x-rays, the hygienist told me more about a chronic condition with my teeth than I had ever known, and the dentists asked me if I had any questions at the end of the visit! I never felt rushed! Go here..you won’t regret it. SECOND REVIEW!!! Google will not let me leave a second review with the same account so I’m editing this one to let everyone know that I just had my first cleaning at this location and it was the most amazing cleaning I have ever had in my entire life!! I have never had a dental cleaning and felt no pain until today! They are fast, efficient, thorough, and so very friendly at this location! From the dentist to the hygienist to the receptionist… Everyone here is absolutely lovely, helpful, and warm! I travel a good distance to come here for my dental care because of how wonderful it is!

Staff were friendly and professional. Entire building was clean. My appointment was on time. Dr was great and very informative. Entire experience was perfect. Sure doesn’t smell like a dentist office, which is a good thing.
