I had a great experience at Aspen Dental in Toms River. The entire team was friendly, welcoming, and made the visit very smooth from start to finish. Dr. Pavlushkin was extremely professional, thorough, and took the time to explain everything so I felt comfortable and informed about my treatment.

This facility offers an excellent and welcoming environment. As the inaugural patient at this new location, I must express a significant discomfort regarding the individual identified as Ginger. Her repeated entries into my examination rooms, where she would observe procedures or discussions without explanation, were unsettling. Given my current dental concerns, this situation was particularly disquieting. I believe my unease would have been mitigated had she introduced herself. At one juncture, after her brief departure, I inquired about her identity and role within Aspen Dental. I was informed that she was a member of the technical support team, present to offer assistance if required. Her presence, however, felt notably intrusive.
Everyone was super friendly and helpful! They have the newest technology which makes things go by faster and easier, and they’re incredibly thorough with their work. Even without insurance, I find it really affordable and would definitely recommend the practice!

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.
