My husband broke a tooth of his dentures and needed a repair. We had them made in San Antonio at Aspien Dental 4 years ago. We now live in Aransas Pass so I looked on Google maps and found a location in Portland, yeh no driving to Corpus Christi, so I called to see if they would repair them. She asked us to bring them in for assessment. The were fixed in about 45 min. They were still under warranty so there was no cost to us. The people were helpful and friendly. Thank you to the staff and thanks for opening in Portland.
I can't begin softly about how extremely pleased I am with this entire staff! And I'm not exaggerating. If you are looking for Professionalism , Ethical, Clean, Courteous, Empathetic well collaborated group of folks to say "ahhhhhh" to; well this place Aspen Dental in Portland , is where you are going to find it all! Every employee I spoke to or passed greeted me with kindness . Even though I was all kinds of mad in tears of pain. Dr. Farshad Hamid D.D.S. and his staff tended to my every concern. I almost wanted to walk out when I started thinking about prices. Glad I didn't ! The awesome gals behind the desk helped me out by panning some figures that suit my charts without drowning me. Thank you Dr.Farshad Hamid D.D.S. and staff in Portland Aspen Dental, for such an amazingly welcome impression. Had it gone any other way I'd still be in my car just crying!
So after 72 hrs of excruciating pain radiating throughout my skull, I had to go to the dentist. I don't have dental insurance. So finding the right one was a task. Aspen Dental in Portland Tx was the only one that answered with hope for me to be seen that day. Although they were booked, she could not schedule me .; she kindly suggested I walk in . She was very professional and considerate at the same time. I had been super unpleasant to everyone last few days, Frustrated and hurting. However, my RBF didn't stop anyone's groove . As busy as it was They all stayed on task and chipper at that .Dr. Hamid was so kind and empathetic considering the day was almost over and I'm coming in late with additive, tears, and a lot of work to be done with no insurance. Ihr hade calm by end of my visit. And confident that we were going to find my smile and put it back. Im not sure if it's just because I wasn't from around there that they were so attentive until I was sitting it's the young lady to figure numbers with. She listened to me asked the right questions . I can tell she was thinking at the same time. She took her time putting together options for me . All while doing this Dr. Informs her to squeeze me in to end of his day do away with the pain that was killing me.. I had to share such details with this particular place because I like to review places that I go to. I have been hesitant to go to dentist because of past bad experiences with employees and the shitty performance . This was delicate subject for me. I needed professional witts and kindness to get me through and I got that and some at Aspen Dental in Portland . Today I went back for my post op visit. Turns out they had just opened. That day was their first day . I couldn't tell they all worked so well with each other no one seemed to be lost or unsteady. I found my Dental home, I highly recommend this place with 5+ ⭐'s

Root canal in Portland, TX

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

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

Cleaning and shaping

Do I need root canal treatment?
