Everyone was great and I was completely comfortable. Price worked for me. Now I hope to get this done very soon.
Been a patient since September! Still the most awesome team and have had all good experiences with the staff. I had Ashely today and she did my reline. Best fit so far!!! I’ve healed well and am onto the next phase… the implants!
Well, I made it to my final set! 1 year of healing and waiting. Here something’s you need to know upfront about dentures, the healing ones are so much different than the elite ones. They have been lighter, feel more natural (for what they are) and I have been able to eat again! I was scared and worried after reading reviews that I’d never enjoy food again and I’d have a loss of flavor in whatever I was eating. This didn’t happen to me! I highly recommend Aspen Dental in Waynesboro. Never had a bad experience. Was treated well by everyone. They were flexible with my needs and genuinely wanted to fix my problem till I was happy with my dentures. Dr. Cena was kind, efficient, and skilled in what he does! Office staff, all the way to the girls who assist the doctor, were the best!!! Thank you all so much for giving me back something I thought was gone for ever. I got my smile back!!! 😁
LaKaila is fantastic at taking X-rays, never in my life has X-rays been such a breeze and stress free along with the hygiene appointment Amber is very gentle and thorough throughout the whole appointment. Thanks for the check up!
Initial appointment went great. Personnel were very friendly and helpful. Dentist was knowledgeable and confident, which made me feel more comfortable.

What are wisdom tooth extractions?
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to erupt, usually in the late teens or early twenties. Not all wisdom teeth require removal—but when they cause pain, crowding or infection, tooth extraction is often the most effective solution. If the tooth is fully visible, it can usually be removed with forceps under local anesthesia. For teeth that are impacted or partially emerged, a minor surgical procedure may be needed. Your Aspen Dental care team will walk you through which option is best for you and explain how we minimize discomfort.
