All I can say is WOW! What a GREAT experience at the Garner location! I did not have a dentist locally but was experiencing some tooth pain and got an appointment quickly. Was treated right away and I have honestly never been treated so well by any dental office. Mark, the hygienist was super thorough in explaining what was happening as well as in depth preventative measures. Dr. Chen was very kind and also thoroughly explained my treatment. Very passionate about teeth and I appreciate that since a dental office is not my favorite place! LOL
Everyone in the office was super nice. I was not pressured into anything. In fact just the opposite. Treatment plan was thoroughly explained and very affordable. We will be returning with the whole family! Thank you so much!
Super clean facility staff treated me like family and they were very interested in my condition and they fit me in rite away and set financing for me wasn't for them idk what I would have done this place is great and want be going any were else..
Got seen today at 31 weeks pregnant to get 2 teeth extracted and I was amazed with the treatment today from front of house to the back! I am an anxious person so talking with the dental assistant made me calm down so much and I just kept asking questions to make myself at ease and when I was numb and ready to go, it took literally 30-60 seconds max for the dentist to get BOTH teeth out! He even answered some questions after about my road to dentures/implants after baby’s born. Best experience so far, ever, as far as me and dentistry goes! Can’t wait to come back after baby girl is born and get the rest removed and get dentures so I can love my smile again! Thank you doc for getting me out of pain today and the infection out before it got to my jaw bone! See you soon!

If you’re dealing with ongoing tooth pain or infection, a root canal may be the recommended treatment. At Aspen Dental in Garner, our care team provides root canal treatment close to home—so you don’t have to wait to feel relief.
What is a root canal?
A root canal is an endodontic treatment that cleans infection inside your tooth so we can save it instead of taking it out. If left untreated, the pulp that has nerves or tissue may die as a result of infection. Left untreated, an infected tooth can cause damage and lead to other issues. At Aspen Dental, your comfort is our priority at every step—we’ll explain everything and keep you comfortable throughout the process. If cost is what’s holding you back, don’t delay your visit—we accept most insurances and financing options—so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
