I don’t to this often (literally at all) but I just had too. I ABSOLUTELY HATE the dentist. One of my top 3 irrational fears. I’ve been putting off going to the dentist for a while now, and I recently cracked and broke one of my molars. Not immediate pain but it was sharp and just bothered me. And I’ve never had good luck with any dentists until I tried aspen. Going in today I was unbelievably nervous. Long story short the only thing that put me at ease was Hailey Gregory. She reassured me on everything. And made me feel super comfortable. GENUINELY BECAUSE OF HER. I will be switching to Aspen as my permanent dentist.
At Aspen I lost my anxiety toward having my teeth worked on! Especially thanks to Sadie who is very nice and makes each visit fun instead of just a task
As you’re getting my teeth pulled three years ago, I’ve been searching for a Place that I could get dentures where I could afford them and I called Aspen dental made an appointment got in two days later I saw the nurse Haley and then Dr Spencer Who explained to me in the denture process Haley made the impressions the same day she did a very good job then he had me talk to manager Sammy, who had us still out of form for financing and both my husband and I were approved immediately they set up appointments for the next day to come in for a fitting and three days later we both have dentures that fit very nice. They do excellent work there. They’re fast they’re kind. They’re the kind of people you wanna go see and keep going back to thank you Aspen dental.

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.
