About Your Appointment

At Aspen Dental, our doctors and staff believe in making dental care affordable and accessible for everyone. If you don't have insurance, there will be no charge for your first visit for a comprehensive exam and x-rays.*
The doctor will perform the exam and recommend a course of treatment. The office manager will provide pricing information and discuss payment options. Flexible payment plans are also available to make your treatment affordable. Discounts such as the free new patient appointment cannot be combined with insurance.
|
All Aspen Dental offices are accessible to disabled patients to make every visit as comfortable as possible. Please let us know ahead of time if you would like us to make any special arrangements for you.
|
All patients under the age of eighteen must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian during an office visit.
|
Pricing for services and procedures varies. Once you meet your doctor and they evaluate what treatment is needed, the office manager can give you better information.
|
Yes, all Aspen Dental dentists and professionals are fully licensed in the states in which they practice.
|
An exam to determine your oral health is an essential first step. The hygienist will perform cleanings based on your oral health. They will quickly schedule your cleaning, allowing proper time for them to give you the attention you deserve.
|
Absolutely. It is impossible to see directly between the teeth or under the gums or bone without the use of a dental radiograph. Many diseases and conditions can only be detected with the use of dental x-rays. X-rays allow dentists to detect disease and other conditions much sooner than the clinical examination alone. When problems are identified early, it's easier to resolve them and avoid more costly treatments.
|
Your Aspen Dental office team will work with you to schedule an appointment should you need one.
|
The first visit for a new patient will consist of an x-ray, an examination by the dentist, and a consultation with the office manager, when all your questions can be answered. There will not be any procedures on your first visit.
|
At Aspen Dental each office works with a number of insurance providers in order to help make dental care accessible for you. Your insurance company website has likely provided a listing of all the dentists within our company, rather than a specific list by location.
|
Medicaid and Medicare are not insurance. It is a state-funded plan. Our offices do not work with these programs. We do, however, offer a range of flexible, affordable payment plans.
|
Yes. Aspen Dental welcomes young patients from the age of six and up. It's important to start caring for your oral health early! All patients under the age of eighteen must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian during an office visit.
|
Absolutely. As a new patient, your first appointment will include a comprehensive exam, x-rays and a consultation with your office manager. They will answer all your questions, as well as go over your suggested treatment plan, pricing options and will help you schedule any future appointments.
|
No. IV sedation is used only by an oral surgeon. Generally, the dentists will use a local anesthetic like Novocain during treatments if needed. Nitrous oxide (Laughing Gas) is not offered.
|
Novocain is a local anesthetic used to numb only a particular area of the mouth. IV sedation is a conscious sedation. When used, the patient is awake and aware of their surroundings, but unable to feel or remember anything about the procedure.
|
Absolutely! We will not be able to take x-rays, but welcome your visit. However, prior to your first visit, you must obtain a release form from your OBGYN, indicating that you can visit a dental office.
