I Highly recommend ASPEN DENTAL. Thank you 😊 for Everything and putting a smile on my daughter's face Especially she is no longer in pain. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅 AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.
This past Tuesday evening my upper dentures broke, on Wednesday morning I started calling dental offices and no one could accommodate me until I found Aspen dental in Commack New York I was immediately set up with an appointment for Wednesday afternoon. The front desk staff of Junelle and Jayson make you feel right at home and handled the paperwork with great speed and efficiency the dental team headed by Dr. Joe and his dental assistants Mary ,Dana and Scarlett and lab techs Alex and Derek went above and beyond to make everything perfect. While always making sure that I was their number one Priority. For the next three visits I was made to feel like family and by Friday afternoon I had my new dentures which were absolutely perfect . I just want to thank Aspen dental for an amazing experience Doreen Bronzino Hirsch December 20, 2021
I tried this place for the first time and I am pleased with their services. Their friendly staff made feel comfortable since the beginning. I came here for an emergency and I was able to get an appointment the same day. I got my first examination and x-rays done for free, as stated on their website. I ended up having two of my wisdom teeth removed, one of which was difficult to remove because of my dense bones. So it took a little longer than usual. And I must confess I was a little nervous because I didn't know the kind of work this dentist had done in the past. There were so little reviews on the internet about him. But doctor Zhou did a great job, despite the challenge. I didn't have too much pain afterwards, but I took pain killers the first night, just in case. The next day I didn't have any pain. Following the doctor's instructions helped me for a fast recovery. It's been five days and I'm almost back to normal. I know visiting a dentist is not fun for anyone, but with the right hands doing the job, you can be relieved that you'll be fine if you do your part following the doctor's instructions. I will definitely be back to this place and I recommend it for anyone. Their prices are also reasonable, even for people without insurance.

Root canal in Commack, NY

If you’re dealing with ongoing tooth pain or infection, a root canal may be the recommended treatment. At Aspen Dental in Commack, 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.

At Aspen Dental, your comfort is our priority at every step:
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.
3
Removing the infection
We carefully remove the infected pulp.
4
Cleaning and shaping

Sealing the tooth

Do I need root canal treatment?

You might need root canal treatment if you notice: tooth pain that doesn’t go away, sensitivity to hot or cold even after the infection is gone, pain when chewing, a cracked or broken tooth exposing the nerve, swelling in the gums or jaw, or a tooth that looks darker than the rest.
