⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Truly Amazing Experience at Aspen Dental on Austin Highway I honestly don’t know where to begin because our experience at Aspen Dental on Austin Highway meant so much to us. We had already been to six different dental offices, and each experience seemed to leave us more exhausted and discouraged than the last. We were trying to find someone who would actually listen, take the time to understand my husband’s situation, and help us find a solution. Instead, we kept walking away feeling frustrated and like we were back at square one. Then we walked into Aspen Dental on Austin Highway — and from the very beginning, it felt different. ❤️ Kenny at the front desk was our very first point of contact, and he was so kind, welcoming, patient, and helpful. Sometimes the first person you meet can completely change how you feel walking into a place, and Kenny did exactly that. He made us feel comfortable and like we were in good hands. Ruby, the technician, was wonderful as well. She was caring, professional, and made the process much easier for my husband. Then we met Dr. Miranda, and I cannot say enough about him. He was friendly, compassionate, thorough, and genuinely interested in helping my husband. He took the time to examine him, listen to our concerns, and explain things in a way that we could understand. After going through six other dental offices, having a doctor who actually took the time to listen and help us was incredibly meaningful. But I especially want to take a moment to recognize Solano Carver. Solano went above and beyond. ❤️ There was something very special about the way Solano treated us. The kindness, patience, understanding, and genuine care shown to my husband and me did not go unnoticed. After being so discouraged by our previous experiences, Solano helped restore some of our hope that we had finally found people who truly cared about helping us. Solano, thank you. You may not realize how much your kindness meant to us, but after everything we had been through, it made a difference. And Dr. Miranda, thank you for being the kind of doctor who listens, explains, and treats people with compassion and respect. You made my husband feel comfortable and gave us the feeling that we were finally being heard. Lynette was as sweet as pie and continued to make us feel welcomed and cared for throughout our visit. So thank you to Kenny, Ruby, Dr. Miranda, Lynette, and especially Solano Carver. Every one of you played a part in turning what had become a very stressful and exhausting search into an experience filled with kindness, hope, and relief. After visiting six other dental offices, we were honestly tired of searching for answers. Aspen Dental on Austin Highway gave us a reason to feel hopeful again. We are truly grateful for the entire team, but Solano Carver and Dr. Miranda deserve a very special thank-you. The compassion and care they showed us will not be forgotten. Thank you for treating us like people who mattered, not just another appointment. That means more than you know. ❤️Gary and Brenda Hernandez
Very friendly staff, from the front reception to the office manager. Would highly recommend.
Haven’t been to a dentist in over 20 years due to previous bad experiences. Staff immediately made me feel at ease, answered all my questions, and gave me information and options to handle my situation.

Dealing with a dental emergency in San Antonio, TX - Austin Highway? Here’s how we can help.

1
Persistent or severe tooth pain
If you’re experiencing a toothache or pain, especially if it’s keeping you from eating, come in right away. While a visit is needed to create a care plan, fillings, root canals and emergency tooth extractions are all common treatments to help alleviate your pain.
2
A loose or knocked out tooth
When a tooth is loose or knocked out, fast treatment is key to saving it. Come in quickly, within the first hour if possible. If your tooth was knocked out, handle it gently by the crown while avoiding touching the root of your tooth. If possible, gently rinse it and place it back in your mouth. Gently bite down on the loose tooth until you’re able to come in.
3
Persistent bleeding from your gums, lips or tongue
When you come in, we’ll assess the area that’s bleeding to prescribe a personalized care plan. Our providers can help with a wide range of common issues. For instance, bleeding or swollen gums are often caused by a gum infection or gum disease, such as periodontal disease. While uncomfortable and sometimes painful, these issues are treatable, especially if caught early.
4
Cracked or broken teeth, causing pain or sharp edges
If your tooth is broken or has a large chip, if you have the chipped-off piece, wrap it in a wet towel or gauze and we’ll get you back to smiling in no time. Depending on the state of your tooth, we may recommend crowns or fillings to get your tooth feeling brand new.
5
Infections or abscesses that create swelling or a fever
If you’re having a hard time breathing or swallowing, please visit your local emergency room. If you’re experiencing swelling or pain, call us immediately. To address your pain and stop the infection, we’ll assess your mouth and create a customized care plan. To alleviate pain or discomfort before coming in: Rinse your mouth with warm salt water, Apply a cold compress to the outside of your cheek, Take over-the-counter pain relievers.
