Long story short toothache pain for about a month off and on. Got referred to Aspen Dental on Capital Blvd. Called and talked to Ethan, I stopped by and talk to Ms. Chiquita greeted me immediately, Cara was my D.A. and took care of me. Dr. Spouh professional, relaxed demeanor which is very comforting. Took care of business in a relatively short time so I’m extremely grateful. Thank you to the entire staff. 😎🤙🏽
Ms. Chiquita , was really wonderful and did an amazing job answering question and very helping
I consistently have great personalized experience at Aspen Dental in Wake Forest. Doctor Sprouh has a special team, and I love the new practice lead, Dr. Monsory. Two weeks ago, I was in the office for the first appointment, the crown preparation. I got to meet a few dental hygienists during that appointment and they were all attentive, kind, professional and knowledgeable. Today’s follow-up was fairly routine—getting my permanent crown. The dental hygienist explained everything and put me at ease. She was very compassionate, taking my pain/sensitivity seriously and communicated everything to the dentist. I was offered numbing medication for the area, so I would be more comfortable. I’m very happy with the comfort of my crown. I feel good. Thank you Aspen Dental!

Regular preventative dental cleanings are for many patients.

Dental cleanings, or preventative hygiene services, start with a screening. Your hygienist will review your teeth and gums before removing light plaque and tartar. After, they’ll polish your teeth to remove any surface stains for a brighter smile. After your hygiene care, your Aspen Dental dentist will review your oral health and recommended any needed follow-up care.

If you’ve recently had a dental cleaning, here’s how you can keep that freshly-cleaned feeling longer: brush your teeth twice a day, floss in between your teeth everyday, drink water throughout the day, try an electric tooth brush and water flosser for a more effective daily care routine, skip excess sugar, and come to your routine 6-month checkups. With these small habits, you can keep your smile at its best in between visits.
