“Stephanie, my dental hygienist, is always professional and does a great job. She is excellent at answering questions and takes the time to explain everything clearly. Her friendly attitude and attention to detail make every visit a positive experience.”
So I’m really scared of going to the dentist and I have an irrational fear of needles in my mouth so I normally get really worked up but I went there to get four teeth extracted and I was so worried about the pain, but it really wasn’t that bad they gave me some kind of numbing gel on my lips or my gums to help numb it down before giving me the shot. The only shot they kind of hurt was the one in the root of the mouth but only for like two seconds other than that, the dentist left me in the room for 15 minutes to come back down until my face got fully numb and then come in and did four extractions at one time and I didn’t feel nothing only some pressure and cracking which is pretty good for me considering I just really hate the Dentist and don’t like going, but I needed to have it done. The only pain that I felt was after the procedure was over with. They put gauze in my mouth and on the way out to the dentist office I could start filling the Nova Caine were off other than that eight out of 10 only because I wanted the dentist to numb me a second time when he come back in because I was scared, I might feel something, but he didn’t do that and just pulled them out. anyway, and I was fully numb, but my genetics have me at a disposition of where the Novacaine wears off really fast which is why I wanted to be numbed the second time before he started extraction because I sit in a chair for 15 minutes, but I got it taken care of and it was great here. It is about 10 days later. I’m doing good and I’m happy that those abscess teeth were removed and it only cost me $212 to have four extractions done but that was with my Blue Cross and Blue Shield dental plan insurance they took about $1000 off plus I had to make a $50 co-pay. Sidenote, I went to my regular doctor before going to the dentist and ask him to write me a prescription for 1 Valium which he wrote me A 10 mg Valium to take two hours before going to the dentist which helped calm my nerves down for anybody future reference that does not like going to the dentist and their nurse are shot. Highly recommend talking to your doctor to get one before going to the dentist to have any major dental work done.
My experience as a customer was exciting, recently I broke my lower denture and Aspen Dental team repaired/replaced it with very little time lost. I appreciate their work and care they provided. I’ll be happy to recommend their business to others. Thank you for your support.

What are dental fillings?
A tooth filling is a restorative treatment that repairs a tooth that has been damaged by decay or minor fractures. When getting a filling, your dentist will remove any decay in your tooth and then fill the leftover space with either composite resin, glass ionomer or amalgam. This restores the shape, function and strength of your tooth while helping to minimize any discomfort or sensitivity.
