Very good staff who cares

Like most people, going to the dentist is something I tend to put off until the last possible second. Unfortunately that led to me developing an abscess over a broken tooth that went from mild pain to DEFCON 1 literally overnight.
My regular dentist couldn’t get me in for an emergency extraction, so I frantically started searching for emergency dentists and found Aspen Dental. I was able to book online and get a same-day exam, which confirmed that I had a pretty nasty abscess over a broken tooth. The dentist explained my options and let me know they could perform the surgical extraction the same day.
Just knowing I only had to get through a few more hours of that pain was an enormous relief.
While they checked my insurance, the office manager put together an estimate for the exam, x-rays, and surgical extraction. I was honestly bracing myself for a huge bill, so when he told me my out-of-pocket cost after insurance, I truly nearly cried. It ended up being less than what I’d spend going out to dinner.
They were extremely busy that day but still managed to squeeze me in later for the procedure. Everyone kept apologizing for the short waits here and there, but I was just grateful they were able to get me in at all. I would have waited all night for relief from that kind of pain.
The procedure itself was exactly what you’d expect from a surgical extraction, but the dentist talked me through every step and the technician kept reminding me to breathe. It was over quickly, and the dentist said he was able to remove all of the broken tooth and roots. Even while I was still numb, I could already feel the pressure and pain starting to ease.
The entire experience was so much smoother than I ever expected from an emergency dental visit. Everyone was incredibly kind and compassionate, and it genuinely felt like they cared about getting me out of pain.
I believe my dentist was Dr. Hopfensperger (they called him Dr. Hops). I’m sorry I don’t remember everyone’s names because the whole day was a blur, but the technicians, receptionist, and office manager were all wonderful.
I’ve already scheduled my next appointment to take care of some other work (hopefully before it turns into another emergency), and I’ve already recommended this office to several people, including my mom. I will also schedule my routine cleanings with this office when I’m due.
Learn from my mistake and don’t wait until something becomes an emergency. But if you do find yourself in that situation, I can’t recommend this office enough.

With local anesthesia, your Aspen Dental provider will keep you as comfortable possible. During your procedure, you may feel pressure as your tooth is removed. After your procedure, mild sensitivity is common and should fade after a short period of time. Your provider will provide you detailed after-care instructions and, if needed, medication to manage any discomfort.
Most patients feel much better within a few days. Surgical extractions, especially for wisdom teeth, may require a week or more to fully recovery. Healing is different for everyone and depends on things like your overall health, the complexity of your extraction and how well you follow after-care instructions.
You can usually remove gauze once bleeding has stopped, which may take a few hours after your procedure. Your provider will give you specific instructions to help you heal safely. It’s important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure you fully recover.
If your procedure involves sedation, fasting for several hours ahead of your visit may be required. Your provider will let you know exactly how to prepare. For simple extractions with local anesthesia only, fasting is usually not necessary. If you have questions, reach out to your local Aspen Dental office for further details.
Soft foods are recommended for the first 24 to 48 hours. Options include yogurt, mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, soft pastas and smoothies. As healing progresses, you can reintroduce solid foods when it feels right for you.
Make sure to avoid crunchy, sticky or very hot foods until cleared by your provider.
Follow all after-care instructions given to you by your provider. Typically, you’ll be guided to: Avoid smoking or vaping, keep your head elevated, use ice to reduce swelling. Once cleared by your provider, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing gently around the area of your extraction.
