    I had a frightening experience at Aspen Dental in Pembroke Pines Fl. I went in for pain on lower left side.They took xrays and pano xrays and quickly determined I needed a deep cleaning. Dr ** came in and asked me a couple of questions and looked in my mouth briefly. He told the hygenist to do a deep cleaning. I pressed on this and told them of my pain and they said the cleaning would help. She took me to the office manager where they charged me $2800. The lack of compassion was clear and the hygenist was very rude. I left in pain and when I got home I had already started to swell. After a sleepless night I called Aspen and explained and she said just keep taking 800 MLS of Motrin and I would feel better in a couple of days.

    The day after that (Saturday) I was in the emergency room for 10 hours with a goofball size painful growth on the side of my face. They took a pet scan, blood work checking for sepsis, gave me morphine which did nothing and determined I had acute osteomyelitis of the jaw. Seems I had an abscess tooth originally that was missed on xray and after the deep cleaning caused it to explode into my jaw and the infection was now in my bone deteriorating it. They referred me to an oral surgeon who had to cut it open and push and drain it all out. The pain through those 8 days was excruciating. I was out of work for a week and my ex husband who came to take care of me also lost a week's pay as well.

    Today I got the help I should have gotten 2 weeks ago from the endodontist who is doing a 3 step root canal. I will also need to have orthodontic treatment as the misdiagnosis and delay in treatment has prevented me from wearing my retainers through all this. The bills are racking up from Aspen, ER, lost wages, oral surgeon, orthodontist, not to mention pain and suffering. I am actively pursuing avenues to get restitution. I have several dental experts who have viewed my original xrays from Aspen who all agree the abscess was clearly there and should have been easily seen, drained and root canaled that day and would have saved me pain, anguish, suffering and thousands of dollars. I am now much less trusting of these so-called professionals who seem to be only interested in doing unnecessary treatments and causing great bodily harm!!!

    I have a broken tooth and drinking coffee hurt so since Aspen advertised "walkins welcome" I called to make an appointment; the automated recording said they even offer weekends/emergency services. I finally speak to someone and they could see me at 10:45 am, I go, they do xrays; doctor comes in and tells me what he needs to do; but however he doesn't have time to to pull the broken tooth; sent me to 2nd lobby to set up appointment to have tooth pulled that she'd be right back...1 hour later I needed to leave. My father in law has dementia and we have visiting Angels and they need to leave my house in 30 minutes- I had to walk out and still in pain! Aspen ONLY cares about how much money they can con you out of.

      My experience with Aspen Dental was absolutely unacceptable. I had a tooth extraction on October 30, 2026, and experienced continued bleeding that required me to seek emergency care at the ER. I contacted Aspen Dental’s emergency number TWICE and spoke with two different representatives, explaining my situation and requesting a callback from the on-call dentist. I even informed them that I had to go to the ER. Despite this, NO ONE ever called me back.

      It is unacceptable to leave a patient feeling abandoned after a dental procedure, especially when they are experiencing complications and seeking professional guidance. The lack of communication, concern, and follow-up was extremely disappointing and added unnecessary stress to an already frightening situation. Getting paid for a procedure should not be where patient care ends. Patients deserve to feel that their health and well-being matter even after they leave the office. Based on my experience, I would not recommend Aspen Dental.

      Aspen Dental insists on doing the deplaning, descaling, deep cleaning rather than a regular teeth cleaning stating that the condition of my gums demands that. My gums are perfectly fine, I've always had regular cleanings and to boot they haven't even done the 'measurement check' due to no hygienist in the day I had the check up done!

      So since this measuring that the hygienists do supposedly reveals the cleaning that is required how can they possibly be insistent on this specific need? They are trying to determine for me what only I should be deciding and refusing to do otherwise (the more intense cleaning nets them a sizably larger profit). They have not been at all nice about it and in essence have said 'good luck elsewhere'!. They feel recording their calls relieves them of responsibility for some reason. The absolute worst dentist offices I have ever encountered in my 84 years of life (have all my teeth, brush & floss every time I eat, good oral as well as general hygiene, etc, etc)... P.s. the one star is too much but I had to click on something to proceed!

For a denture repair? Insane. They literally force people to have X rays done or the dentists does not see you. I got a refund and left. They should not Force people to have tests, or Xrays done!

      My husband and I was at Texas Avenue Aspen dental in March 2026 for our Cleaning appointment. I was called back first and after all my X-ray and set up in the chair. My husband was then called back as follows X-rays then set up in his chair. We are waiting for a hygienist to enter the room at any time. Then a few minutes one and the only hygienist entered my room. Had mention the other hygienist was an no show. So, it was only her that day. I was in my chair ready and set to go. I could tell that she was showing courteous manner to the other patient. Then after the patient was released to check out. The hygienist came to my room. She began the routine talk and work.

      In about 10 minutes using the water pick she ask what toothpaste that I used. I told her, she says it's not doing the job. No scraping on any teeth or tools. She just brought in a handful of Sensodyne toothpaste for me and my husband. That was it. I was finished and my teeth was not clean. Later the dentist came in and said I had a small cavity which I found out that I do not have. The DDS recommended a prescription for cavities that prevent them and insurance does not pay for. Simply no explanation why but cosmetic.

      I did not buy the high cost prescription and I knew I was being suckered in a routine that some office try on their patients. If I have a cavity the filling will be paid with insurance. So, they said they will just watch it. No fillings will be needed. On my husband exam he was told he needed 3 root canals and one tooth pulled. The cost was too rich for that so, he had to make other arrangements with a Endodontist later. The DDS only have limited medical practices. Later my husband had been seen with an Endodontist and he had to have a tooth pulled and a crown. You need the right teeth examination and Aspen DDS is not really a place I would NOT recommend on our experience with Aspen on Texas Ave CS Tx.

      If I could leave negative 5 stars that would be not even close to accurate. This place is horrible rip off. The reason their office look so nice and well kept is because they feed themselves with your hard earned money/rip off your insurance company& then charge extra for everything. This is by far the worst most corrupt dental office Anyone will ever visit. Please do not go to any location. Go anywhere else. Anywhere else is better.

      I went into Aspen Dental on 08/18/26. I was evaluated by Dr. Tristan **. Although I was a returning client, they still insisted that I have new x-rays. Therefore new x-rays were done. I saw a dental assistant, then Dr. **, followed by their dental hygienist. During this “evaluation,” several scans of my mouth were done as well as probing of my gums to determine if I had periodontal disease. It is important to note that in September of 2024 I had this same process done.

      Both times (in 2024 and in the present day) I was advised that I have periodontal disease. In 2024, my recommended treatment plan included a deep cleaning along with a series of these cleanings. I was charged along with my insurance $3,463. I was provided a $166 off coupon, aa $1,079.12 “insurance discount”, my insurance payout was $900.33, leaving me a balance out of pocket of $1,317.55 as to which I financed through Fortiva with 35.99% APR! Here’s where story gets interesting. After I agreed to the treatment plan in 2024, I had the 1st cleaning done. I was supposed to come back for two more (I paid for those), however, I never did. I had braces put on and honestly got busy with life and forgot.

      In August 2026, I scheduled a cleaning with Aspen. In preparation for this, I went to my orthodontist and had my wires removed from my braces so that they would be able to adequately clean. During this visit, I was told I needed the “deep cleaning” again and that my periodontal disease had gotten worse because I did not follow their treatment plan (which I paid for in full; remember this). As I am sitting in the back waiting area to see the “office manager,” it dawned on me that this whole experience is exactly what I went through in 2024!

      I was finally called to the “office manager,” who had a nice iPad with a presentation ready for me. This is where the ride gets better. She advised me I had 3 “levels” of care and that I could opt for whichever one I “could afford”. I brought up the fact that I had this same treatment a few years back and that I paid for a series of 3 cleanings and I only had 1. She advised me that my insurance “ate up” the remaining balance because it did not pay like they thought it would! So you’re telling me I basically paid $3,000 for 1 cleaning?!

      I was furious and left the office. I reluctantly went back to my orthodontist to have my wires placed back on. After that whole fiasco, I started looking for another dentist. I still needed a regular cleaning. I went to Tatum & Cox Comprehensive General Dentistry in Opelika, AL a few weeks later. I saw Dr. ** (which is amazing). They had to do new x-rays as to which I had to pay out of pocket because Aspen Dental had just did them a few weeks prior.

      This is the best part of the story, because guess what: no periodontal disease! Not even the beginning stage. The only area of concern was my bottom wisdom teeth (had the uppers removed several years ago). Their dental hygienist just said I need to take extra care of them in the back with better flossing, but that’s it! No periodontal disease at all. So basically Aspen Dental scammed me out of thousands of dollars in 2024 and tried again in 2026. Not to mention insurance fraud because they are misdiagnosing people and billing their insurance companies! This needs looked into!

      This place is a complete joke. I worked in dentistry for 23 years and to be honest I don’t know why I even went to them. I have seven distractions done, and I also had a top and bottom partial made. The partial did not fit at all. They make the partial three times and none of them fit two of the missing teeth at the top. The partial do not fully touch the gum line. I wish I could post a picture. Then when I went in for an adjustment because it wasn’t right, they wanted to charge me. I asked him, "Why are you charging me when this mess don’t even fit." Then on top of that pieces of the partial are breaking off. And I haven’t had the partial two months. I don’t even wear the bottom partial because I can’t even close my mouth correctly with both partial in. Like I said this place is a complete joke. I won’t be going back.

      I thought that for the first time in my 65 years of existence, I would try the corporate dental practice of Aspen Dental to see if it compared with independent dental practices. The initial $29 offer for new patients to have full series and panoramic x-rays taken, a consult with one of their hygienist and ultimately an exam from the dentist was very attractive given these are typically expensive first visits at most independent practices. However, after having the x-rays performed I waited for the hygienist to perform his/her exam. The hygienist was either out to lunch or not available, whether with another patient and/or the office staff may have been short-handed? Eventually, after a longer than normal wait for the hygienist, the dental assistant went to get the dentist to perform her exam.

      Dr. Aesha ** examined my x-rays and my mouth and ultimately informed me that 'because of bone loss' in certain areas, I would most likely be a candidate for 'deep cleanings' in the future. I was told that if a deep cleaning was performed, I could only have future deep cleanings in the future and would no longer be a candidate for the lesser expensive prophy. Dr. ** was very cordial and professional and even relayed, when queried, that her advice was unbiased and that she was a salaried physician and was not trying to up-sell me unnecessary procedures. Since the hygienist was still unavailable to see me, I was introduced to Katherine, the Office Manager, who reviewed my x-rays with Dr. ** and subsequently took me into her office to share with me what my cost for a 'deep cleaning' would be after my Veterans Discount was applied. The cost was itemized and broken down on three 8.5x11 inch pages.

      The initial cost to me; if I were to schedule follow-up would be $1923.00. Subsequent 'deep cleanings' would be lower but still substantially higher and needed more frequently. I told Katherine that I was taken aback by the quoted price as I had never had any problems with any of my extensive 'mostly cosmetic in nature and protection' dental work. No cavities, root canals, extractions (other than wisdom teeth in 1980). I then told her that given the cost, I would like to get a second opinion from another dentist. I asked her if I could avail myself of the x-rays for review by a third-party and she said; "Of course!" I asked for same and was told that my request for copies to be emailed to me would have to be submitted and approved by corporate and that if approved, I could expect them within 3 -4 days.

      I did seek another dentist's opinion and also scheduled a prophy on the same day. I made an appointment for two days later, provided my 2023 x-rays to that dentist and the hygienist who examined and cleaned my teeth. Upon completion of the cleaning and exam, I shared my Aspen Dental Dental 'advice for further treatment.' Both the dentist and hygienist were appalled by this diagnosis! The hygienist even asked to share with her fellow hygienist at the practice my story. I said sure and I left her my itemized breakdown given to me by Katherine at Aspen Dental. My hygienist, after cleaning and upon inquiring what level of cleaning would I be considered, she said that I was a Class II prophy given I had not had a cleaning in 14 months. She also stated that after the cleaning she was performing, I would then be a Class I prophy patient. She also said that she did not see any 'bone loss' on my x-rays from 2023.

      Note: Two days after receiving my Aspen Dental x-rays, I submitted them to the private practice dentist and they concurred with the hygienist who has 22 years experience cleaning teeth that there was NO BONE LOSS attributable on the latest x-rays. I will not be returning to any other corporate dental offices. To say the least, an no pun intended; Aspen Dental left a 'bad taste' in my mouth!

      Horrible, Horrible experience!! Please don't come here! I now believe that the good reviews are not real, but written by Aspen. I went in with a bad tooth, they did xrays. And told me I needed three teeth crowned. The price....over $10,000!!! This is not a typo over $10,000! I had only one tooth that was hurting me, it was the very back tooth, so I asked them to pull it so that I could be relieved from my pain. Little did I know that this was just the start of my pain. Went in for my appointment and the assistant start numbing the wrong side of my mouth! I should of gotten up and ran then, but they already had half my money. My dentist is now retired, which why I gave this place a try.

      My old dentist would give me the numbing shot and it never hurt. This was quite painful here, but the assistant assured me this was the worst. Lie!! I was in so much pain and it was a horrible horrible experience. I was being pushed down so hard that the assistant held my lower jaw so the dentist would not break it. Yes the numbing shot did its job, but it can't stop the pain from all that pressure. The tooth broke I heard it hit the wall! I was crying and had my feet on the chair wanted to get up and run! Then after it was all over I was informed that he broke the part of the filling out of the tooth next to it, but unfortunately those things happens, so I will have to come back and get that tooth crown.

      No way on this earth will I ever step foot in this office again!!! He also left that broken tooth with a sharp piece that was jabbing my tongue, which I didn't realize it was this way because my tongue was numb for hours. I had to find another dentist the very next day to repair the broken tooth that he caused. Please, Please look elsewhere for your dentist and not this horrible place!!

      I would highly recommend you avoid Aspen Dental, or get a second opinion. They quoted me $3000 after insurance (Delta Dental Premier) for a periodontal cleaning. When I asked why, they said it was because they needed to use an antibiotic not covered by my insurance (???). I then asked for my x-rays that they took to be sent to a different dentist for a second opinion and they sent it to a .com email instead of a .org email, even though in my release it was clearly the correct .org email. They said that the department that handles records is separate from the office that took the x rays and it would take at least 3 business days to get it resent. This was the day of my appointment at the second location. They also told me there was no way to contact the department that sends out the x rays and that they also couldn’t call the department.

      I called the main customer line and eventually they were able to send it directly to my personal email, though that was still going to take 1-3 business days. I eventually got my records and the dentist I saw only charged me $1000 with insurance. I essentially spent a month trying to get basic dental care due to their incompetence. I called and left a complaint, but they’re seem unreceptive and since it’s such a large chain, I doubt anyone will ever hear my complaint. So, long story short, do not trust their estimates

      I don't have complaints about the actual dental care, other than they sold me equipment, a mouth guard that in hindsight, I feel I didn't need, but I take responsibility for falling for the spiel. In regards to billing. I was led to believe that I would not be charged over and above what my insurance paid, and months later received a bill, wound up paying close to $400 above what my insurance paid, which was a Medicare Advantage Plan, and would not allow me to make payments.

      Aspen threatened to turn me over to a collection agency, which would impact my credit rating. Aspen is, in effect, a monopoly in my area when it comes to insurance, at least 90% of the dentists listed in my coverage are affiliated with Aspen. Having said that I will in the future drive out of my area to find a dentist not affiliated with Aspen who takes my insurance if I must. I will never again go to Aspen for my dental needs because of their defective billing practices. They need to be upfront with patients about uncovered costs and at least provide estimates so that the patient can make informed decisions about what services to accept and not. If I had been informed. I would have accepted only services to or what brought me there, which was a toothache.

      One star is way more than they deserve. Before getting married my husband requested to have his few real teeth cleaned, just 1/4 of his mouth. When we told them we had just a few days before the wedding, they charged about $600!!! Too late to get an appointment elsewhere. What a scam!!!

      Don't trust Aspen Dental. They will lied to your face. If you have your dental insurance I will suggest to wait until you heard back from them. Don't let aspen dental tell you to pay upfront because once you do that you are not gonna see that money back. Trust me. I'm still fighting with them since March 2026. My insurance been calling and sending request of the service and aspen dental been ignoring us both. They don't response to any of the request. This company suck and I will never go back or even tell anyone to use them due to their dishonest service. No wonder your location has closed 17th St SE Fort Lauderdale. I tell you what God don't like ugly. You people should be ashamed to yourself.

      So after 15 years I decide to get a new set of dentures. Nothing wrong with them, just time. I went to Aspen and got a new set. Very pleased at first. After 3 years, teeth from the upper plate started falling out. Every time I took them in to get repaired, staff blamed me for improper care. The other ones lasted 15 years. Same care methods for both sets, but somehow it's my fault and not theirs.

      If I could give zero stars I would. I made an appointment for my son and I a few weeks ago. They hounded me for my info to complete prior to the appointment with deadlines, asking for multiple confirmations for the appointments which now, in hindsight, I should have realized was a red flag. I complied with all of those things. Today I got a phone call 1 hour before our appointments were set to begin at an office that’s about 40 minutes from our home (I was en route) telling me my sons insurance is stating he is ineligible. I found this to be absolutely absurd given all of the correspondence between them and I over the last few weeks, but I stated I would call them back with info. Before I could even return the phone call I get a call from someone different in the office telling me they have to cancel my appointment for an “emergency”.

      I absolutely cannot believe how unprofessional this company is. I got told by multiple people they were awful, but I like to see things for myself. I won’t be making that mistake again. If you’re looking for a reliable company I implore you to seek care elsewhere. I took off today for these dental appointments and have wasted a day. I could have spent doing something fun with my children for this nonsense.

      I had a tooth that broke so I went to Aspen Dental. They took xrays which is totally normal. Where the problem was when the dentist came in she was already set on what "She" wanted to do. Very rude. Didn't care what I had to say. I've been through a broken tooth and know there are other ways to fix it. But all she kept saying is I'm going to pull that tooth and the one beside it (which had nothing wrong with it), and do a partial. Well... no I'm not having teeth pulled for no reason. Also wanted to pull a tooth that had a filling 'cause she didn't like the way it looked. After reading reviews about this company and talking to another Dentist, that told me that I didn't need them pulled, I canceled my appointment and got almost $3,000 back. Don't trust this company. They up sell for things that are not necessary. My gums and teeth are healthy and I'm not allowing anybody to pull teeth for no reason.

      My experience was not so good. The temporary DENTURES were a complete waste of money. After I got my permanent DENTURES. Same thing. They never fit correctly. After many of realignment and removing material, they still rock up and down. Both top and bottom DENTURES. They told me it was due to bone loss. I kept complaining cause even with a good adhesive they would come loose. So after about 12,000 dollars, I am still without teeth. So thank you Aspen Dental!!!!

      I went there to get a upper denture. I purchased their so called top of the line denture for 1800.00 with a ten year warranty. It broke in half after 2 years. They repaired it. It broke in half again. They told me to bring it in so they could repair it. I wanted a new one. I was told that they would repair it again. I told them they could shove where the sun don't shine so don't go there for dentures. I wasted my money. Never again.

      This place was awful! First I used my one visit for 6 months. To get a filling and cleaning. They left the numbing stuff on my gum too long and it caused a huge blister. They refused to acknowledge any responsibility the next day. They refused to give me my regular cleaning even though I’d had my teeth cleaned 5 months earlier. Said I needed a deep cleaning at $1200 also $5000 worth of dental work. That I didn’t need. Lastly my filling fell out after 2 months. I would never go back to them again. They are only out to get as much money as they can and don’t care about you at all!

      According to their website, they do emergency tooth extractions. That is not the case. I scheduled an appointment. They canceled the appointment that day and rescheduled for the next day. On my way from my appointment. They texted me when I was 10 minutes away while I was driving to tell me they were rescheduling my appointment. I had to call them when I questioned the gal at the reception. Why they didn’t call me. They said they texted me. I said it’s amazing. 15 minutes before I got your text. I got a confirmation of my appointment at 4 AM. Your website Is a lie. I was told as a new patient they can extract a tooth they needed to schedule an appointment, have the dentist check out my tooth and then reschedule another appointment. The receptionist was rude and unapologetic.

      Do not trust this organization. In my experience, they retained patient funds as “credits” without transparency or proper communication. I was told they were in network when they were not, and I was charged an amount upfront that later did not align with my insurance explanation of benefits. This created significant issues with my FSA and reimbursement. As I tried to resolve this, I was informed that my insurance denied services and that I owed additional money. However, after reviewing the Explanation of Benefits, it did not reflect those denials. I relied on that information at the time and paid the additional amount. This experience has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. Patients should be able to trust the accuracy of billing and insurance explanations, and that was not my experience here. Proceed with caution.

      This place is terrible. The Albany office is only found Alexis to be very nice but when getting some fillings the doctor drilled out my tooth and stopped and told me that, "Oops you'll need a root canal." Wouldn't you know this before drilling out my tooth. Then she called in the office manager to upset me something they didn't explain. What do I say with my tooth drilled out and mouth open, No?? Then I found out that the credit that I took it to pay for this stuff only covered three teeth! Another surprise because they told me it would cover all I needed to do. Never again and last but not least there is one girl there with the personality of a barracuda! 2000 later!!

      I still have no complaints about the treatment I have received from the local Aspen Dental office. The employees are all kind and compassionate. I didn’t feel pressured to do anything I didn’t want to do. I didn’t feel like they were trying to “up sale” me on anything. I wouldn’t have a problem recommending this office to anyone. Gesielle is a great dental assistant and she is calming and comforting during the process. I feel that she has given me information I needed to make my own personal health conditions.
