The staff is exceptional. Dr. Justin possesses extensive knowledge and conducts thorough examinations.
Such kind people!! I get really anxious when going to the dentist and this is the first time I felt comfortable and not judged. Justin and Kylie were so welcoming. Dr. Justin and Lizzy were quick with my tooth extraction and made sure it was not painful at all. They explained the process to me as they worked on my teeth, which made me feel much better knowing what’s going on. They could tell I was having anxiety and were so kind and attentive. Olivia did amazing explaining what treatment and payment plans were best for me. Scheduling appointments was a breeze. Dentists can be scary, so finally finding a place that is judgement free and so welcoming has been a blessing. Absolutely recommend this office!!
Also Justin the hygienist gave me great tips to keep my teeth clean and healthy. He also gave me a recommendation for an electric toothbrush and water pick. I bought both and love them! Jet made my partials look great, can’t even tell I have them in.
Dr. Justin and the team that helped me with my appointment were all AMAZING! Very informative, very caring of my needs and concerns and I didn’t feel pressured into anything. They talked me through my plan and options and made me feel like a person and not a payment! I walked in with pain and walked out same day relieved and confident! Thank you!!

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.
