dental hygienist was extremely thorough in all phases of a visit. I only tried aspen dental because they were one of the 2 dentists within a 35 mile radius to accept my insurance. My expectations were it was going to be substandard work. I was completely wrong. They have the most up to date equipment and are professional and extremely fast. Dentist I worked with was extremely efficient. I’m old and have been going to dentists for over 50 yrs. This practice is very legit

Amazing crew to walk into. So helpful and kind. They took care of me fast and a treatment plan that’s affordable! I feel like I’ve found my people. Thank you for the relief in my mouth without taking my entire pocketbook.

My son and I recently needed to switch dental offices due to a change in dental insurance. I thought this was going to be very hard for me as I don’t often enjoy any type of change when it comes to stuff like this. I received a referral from Cortney in your office (I very much trust her and her knowledge) and my son and I were able to get in to establish care with back to back appointments, which is super convenient having a minor child. Chelsey did an amazing job with both of us during our initial exams. Super friendly and upbeat which you don’t often find in healthcare these days. After meeting with the dentist and hygienist I had to touch base with Cortney to go over insurance coverages and that was super helpful. Taking the time to explain everything in detail about my new plan when I felt completely lost with my new benefits. Overall a very pleasant experience. Additionally, everyone at the front desk my son and I interacted with was lovely, especially the gal who scheduled us for cleanings. I cannot remember her name but please give her a special shoutout if you can! I was able to get in for my cleaning just days after the initial exam. That appointment went super smooth also. I even told my hygienist she was great! She has amazing energy and from someone who manages a medical office, you have a unicorn. She will definitely make a huge impact on patient retention. See you all in 6 months!

Regularly coming in for hygiene care helps remove anything that daily brushing and flossing can’t reach. It also helps to stop cavities from forming and makes addressing cavities early on easier.

Coming in for a hygiene visit at least once every 6 months will help your care team detect any dental issues early on. This is essential to keep your smile at its best and your treatments and costs at a minimum.

Brightens your teeth

Built-up bacteria, plaque and tartar (calculus) are common causes of bad breath (halitosis) and a yellowing smile. With a professional cleaning, your hygienist clears it all away, leaving your mouth looking its best.
