Aspen Dental, a leading provider of denture and dental services, will celebrate the grand opening of its Longview, Washington office on Thursday, January 28. The office, located in the Twin City Shopping Center at 740 Ocean Beach Highway in Longview, will provide patients with high-quality denture and dental care and offer a wide range of affordable payment plan options. The opening marks Aspen Dental’s fifth office in Washington.

“There are a number of reasons that patients put off making a dental appointment, from affordability and convenience to concerns about how much time has passed since their last exam,” said Dr. Scott Waletzko, lead dentist. “Our goal is to make sure that patients have a comfortable experience in the dentist’s chair. I’m pleased to be leading Aspen Dental’s newest practice as we open our doors to the people who live and work in Longview and the surrounding communities.”

Dr. Waletzko earned his DDS degree from the University of Washington School of Dentistry in Seattle.

Aspen Dental will provide patients with a full range of denture and dental services, including hygiene, oral surgery, fillings, whitening and crown and bridge work. Aspen Dental is the only authorized provider of eight styles of full and partial hand-crafted ComfiDents® brand dentures. As an added convenience to denture patients, the Longview office will have its own on-site denture laboratory, which ensures same-day turnaround for select new dentures, denture repairs, relines or adjustments.

The Longview office, which will employ about eight to 10 staff members, will feature state-of-the-art Kodak Dental Systems digital radiography products to better diagnose, serve and treat patients. The new office will also provide patients with Vizilite Plus®, the most advanced technology in oral cancer screening. Vizilite Plus® uses a blue-light, “glowstick” technology that detects oral cancer at its earliest stage.

Aspen Dental offers free new-patient exams, special pricing on x-rays for new patients without insurance, special pricing on dental and denture services for all patients, and senior discounts.

The office will be open extended hours, including select Saturdays, and will work with all insurance providers. Walk-in patients and emergencies are welcome.
