Was on vacation and I needed a emergency filling took care of, they got me in quick
Amazing help got me in and out relatively quickly answered any questions I had. Javon was very very helpful and professional!
This dental office deserves higher than 5 stars! After years of procrastinating dental work due to anxiety, I had a wisdom tooth crack causing me pain and I needed an emergency appointment. I called and the wonderful receptionist fit me into their schedule that same week. From the moment you walk in the door, the atmosphere feels friendly. The hygienist who helped out with my X-rays and exam was so very gentle, being extra cautious around the side my wisdom tooth was, and forewarning me which X-rays might be uncomfortable. A personalized plan was made for me and explained, yet I didn’t feel pressured in the moment to worry about anything other than my problem at hand. Dr. Hansen not only reassured me she could extract my tooth, it was not the end of the world nor did it need surgery, but she made time the same day and did her job so smoothly I didn’t realize the tooth had been pulled until she said “all done!” The second hygienist who helped assist was just as fantastic, as she explained my post-op instructions and made sure I felt at ease before I left. I am now two days post-op, with no swelling or pain, and I have recommended this specific Aspen Dental location to every person I know. I will most definitely be back, and I think my fear of the dentist is cured!
