No long wait Professional and efficient Super clean Left with problem solved!
I had a really great experience at this dental office. The entire staff was amazing and super friendly from start to finish. Mayte was especially helpful she took the time to answer all my questions thoroughly and made me feel comfortable throughout the visit. The office finance manager was also incredible. She was super nice and took the time to guide me through the pricing, explaining everything clearly and even going over discounts available for patients without insurance. That really made a big difference for me. Dr. Green was excellent as well. She walked me through my X-rays in detail and clearly explained the different options I have to save my teeth and restore my smile. I really appreciated how informative and reassuring she was. Overall, a very positive experience. I’d definitely recommend this office to anyone looking for professional, caring, and transparent dental care.
This was an amazing process from A-Z. I dont do reviews but they deserve it!!. My husband have been dealing with some dental issues and some places that we went to give us the bare minimum 😒 Finally I decided to give Aspen a try. When I say they went beyond of what I expected!!!. Let's start with Danni, she is the office manager who helped me figuring out the cost of consultation and was patience to seat down and help my husband and I come with a payment plan, then Tanya!!! The hygienist! GET YOU A TANYA IN YOUR DENTAL CARE!!!. my husband said she was the best thing that happened to him so far in 2026. She explained everything to us with no confusions! I feel very confident that my husband Dental care was taken care of to the highest level of luxury. Dr. Green, also is a part of my husband dental care and she was very detailed with no confusion in her explanations. We didn't feel rush! We felt heard with our concerns and right away they were working to get us solutions. I dont know about all Aspen, but the one in Union, NJ is definitely solution based and my experience there was topnotch. They are officially a part of our household Healthcare team.

Root canal in Union, NJ

If you’re dealing with ongoing tooth pain or infection, a root canal may be the recommended treatment. At Aspen Dental in Union, our care team provides root canal treatment close to home—so you don’t have to wait to feel relief.

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.

1
Initial assessment
We examine the tooth, take X-rays and explain your care plan.
2
Local anesthesia
The affected tooth and surrounding area are numbed completely, so you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.

Removing the infection
We carefully remove the infected pulp.

Cleaning and shaping
