Nancy was very pleasant and the whole staff helped me out!
I’ve been a patient Aspen dental in Manahawkin New Jersey close to two years. They’re very personable and they really take your time to explain an action plan to keep your teeth, healthy highly recommend.
Where can I even begin. All my life I’ve been terrified of the dentist, but from the moment I walked in the office I instantly felt more at ease. I’ve never met a sweeter and friendlier staff in any medical office in my entire life.
I went in last week for a tooth infection and they took the time to walk me through every little thing, and made sure I was okay every step of the way. Unfortunately, they told me I needed to have 10 teeth extracted, but there was never once any judgement, only reassurance that they were there to help. They were able to book me just a week later to handle my extractions.
Today I had that appointment, I was nervous. Right when I walked in the door I was met again with the sweet optimism of everyone there. Everyone that was there instantly remembered me and were really happy to see me back. It was a long appointment but it went by quick, only pain was from the needle but that’s given. I left the office with a full smile. The first one that I’ve seen on myself in 7 or 8 years. I am forever grateful to everyone in the office, they helped me along the way. They listened to my concerns, understood my tears, and supported me from the beginning. I am not good with names but once I return for my follow up I will get their names and mention them again. They all deserve every bit of praise, and they deserve the world.

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.

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.
