Aspen Dental Reviews and Complaints

To be honest, a missing temporary crown will not cause harm to the tooth, unless the inside of the root canal is exposed. It causes cosmetic embarrassment.

These rascals probably already charged out for your crown and have your money. Therefore, they have little incentive to run down to the office and treat you for a missing temporary. Amazingly, most of the time the employee dentists at these dumpy clinics are not given a key to the office nor an alarm code. They could not get in the office to treat you even if they wanted to.

Forget the fiction that Aspen offices are independently owned.

They are all owned by the same greasy investor group, Leonard Green and Partners LLC. If you think they give a cr@p about patient welfare, you're delusional.

I you had sent thousands of dollars of dental care "their way," you would have spent thousands of dollars of substandard dentistry you would have to pay an honest dentist to do over correctly. It is actually great they scared you off.

You might have fallen for their overtreatment ploys. PLEASE forget the *** corporate dental chains and find an honest independent dentist you can trust.

If dentures break repeatedly, it means they either do not fit accurately or were made too thin, or both. A pair of dentures for $1500 is really cheap, so they might have been made of what is called cold-cured acrylic.

But even if you had paid twice as much at Aspen, the result would have still been junk dentures.

That is what Aspen is good at: taking your money, and giving you mediocre dental care. That is what happens when Wall Street sleaze owns dental clinics, instead of licensed dentists.

Aspen Dental is cash-strapped with a lot of debt. Some patients wait as long as six months to get a legitimate credit balance refunded.

Heaven help you if you borrowed money to pay it. Their loan shark will be a nightmare of usuary and late charges.

That's the way they roll at an organized crime syndicate owned by Wall Street private equity types. Don't think other fleabag corporate clinics like Affordable Dentures, Coast, Great Expressions, or the like will be any better.

You could keep going to Aspen for the next hundred years and you would not get a wearable denture from them. Recent dental graudates have made very few dentures in school, and don't have a clue when thrown into a seedy joint like A$pen with not enough time to treat patients.

If that were not bad enough, they are forced to use the crummiest labs around. There is not way they can do a good job.

Best to get any money back you can and go to a dentist who knows what he is doing. Don't even think of going to another corporate chop shop like Affordable Dentures or Coast Dental.

You are lucky you have not been charged 3 times for the same procedure. That is what Wall Street Sharks do when they own dental practices.

That is why many states ban non-dentists from owning practices.

Unfortunately, outfits like Aspen ignore the laws, and bet away with larceny. Write your state legislator, telling him or her to enforce dental practice acts prohibiting non-dentists from operating dental practice.
