I had a great fast and easy painless experience, I was in very bad need of a teeth and gum cleaning after almost 7 years. Front desk was very welcoming and the scheduling department made it easy to understand, made the experience comforting. My hygienist was Ms Kesha, she did great being patient and and making it easy to learn tips to help main rain and keep my gums and teeth clean and healthy. I recommend 10/10 to make aspen dental off of jw clay blvd your place for your dental services.
I visited this Aspen Dental location yesterday 01/15/2024 for my initial consult and I was generally pleased with my experience. I am normally really anxious and nervous when I visit the dentist, but for once in my life this experience was peaceful and essentially stress-free for me! During my initial consult, I explained to the Dr. (I believe his name was Dr. I.G) that I have a very busy schedule and it is hard for me to make appointments. He understood, and gave me a thorough run-down of what treatments he recommended based on my examination. He and his staff were able to schedule me to come BACK to the office later that day to complete my cleaning and recommended treatments, which I greatly appreciated. Mrs. Keisha was my hygienist and she was the sweetest, most gentle hygienist I have ever had. She explained every process thoroughly and made me feel as comfortable as one can feel while at the dentist! (Lol). I ended up completing my procedures with the Doctor and his dental assistant (I am terrible with names) however, BOTH of them were also very accommodating and careful. I was very very pleased with my experience overall and would recommend this location to anyone!! Thank you Aspen!
The girls at the front were super sweet, everyone made me feel so comfortable. I hadn’t gone to the dentist In years and I have really bad anxiety. The provider I had was very understanding and clear about my needs. I love that I was able to get a financial plan and afford my partial . 10 out of 10 would recommend to anyone needing affordable dental services

What are dental fillings?
A tooth filling is a restorative treatment that repairs a tooth that has been damaged by decay or minor fractures.

This restores the shape, function and strength of your tooth while helping to minimize any discomfort or sensitivity.
