Aspen Dental Reviews and Complaints

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.

I use Nobel Biocare implants because they are a reliable (but expensive) brand I can always find parts for. Even for the old Nobel implants.

Look, you would not go to a Jiffy Lube to have a jet turbine engine rebuilt. That would be stupid. Going to a sleazeball corporate clinic to service a fine implant system would be just as idiotic. Call Nobel Biocare.

They can probably refer you to a nearby dentist who uses their products. They are the most common implants out there.

Another idea is to find a prosthodontist in your area. Those guys know all the implant systems.

Bob, write us back in a year when you lose one of those infamous Aspen implants. Tell us how you feel then.

Write us again when you lose another denture teeth. Aspen's dentures are sloppily made. The wax isn't cleaned off the teeth before processing, so the bond with the acrylic often fails. The is the most common Aspen denture complaint.

There are two types of Aspen patients: 1. Those that have been shafted. 2.

Those that haven't been shafted yet. Glad you are still in category 2, but everyone who goes there eventually ends up in category 1.

I will tell you where that hygienists' head was. It was thinking about "Help Wanted" ads she had been reading to get out of that sweatshop called Aspen.

It is the lowest-paying joint around. Working conditions are horrible. Hygienists are overbooked so they rarely have enough time to tend to patients properly, as you found out. Any hygienist worth a darn wants to get out of places like that ASAP.

You can do a lot better than Aspen for dental care. Just don't even think about going to a different brand of chain clinic charlatans.

What kind of businessman- dentist, surgeon, even bricklayer or plumber- demands you pay the whole fee up front before the work even is begun? Only a crook.

If you had fallen for that scam, the next discovery is that it would have been very difficult to get appointments to get the work completed. Then they would have made it difficult to impossible to get the treatment you paid for! A certain percentage of patients just give up and let A$pen keep the money for doing nothing. That is the way these scammers operate.

What probably happened is your new insurance plan is garbage with very low fees, and nobody but crooks like A$pen want to fool with it. ADVICE: Drop the garbage insurance plan, and pay cash to an honest dentist you know you can trust.
