A cleaning service and all this other bs that they said I needed done was over 2000.00?? I was charged for some toothpaste the hygienist said would help rebuild your gums and some antiseptic wash that ins. Did not cover. I did not ask for this and they refused to take it back and I was charged 80.00. There is no toothpaste that will help rebuild receding gums so I was scammed!!!!!

This will be my first review. So the assistant was showing me why my tooth needed to be pulled on an old X-Ray. She pointed to the broken root and the cavity. I had to point out that it was a tooth they had already pulled. The worst part was that they had told me to go back to my old dentist and get him to pull the rest of the tooth. I told them okay. You pulled it 6 mo. ago. That was the tooth they were going to schedule to pull again.

My dental office is moving so I called Aspen Dental in BOLINGBROOK IL. I called last week, gave them all my insurance information,Today April 29th I called to see if they received my dental records. I was told they didn't have any of my information. I'm guessing this is a blessing in disguise as I have been hearing negative things about Aspen like procedures not being needed just to charge the insurance.

After 2 poorly fit dentures, I was told my mouth is not the right shape for dentures that the only fix was implants. I was scheduled for 4 implants with sedation. I sat in the chair and they didn't know I was scheduled for sedation and didn't bring it. They could reschedule for 2 months or try with just novocaine. At this point, my dentures were flopping around and adhesives caused rashes and swelling. I started to proceed. It was horribly painful with how rapidly he was pushing the novocaine. I started crying and he yelled at me to stop crying. He continued as tears streamed down my face. He stopped and said that I was a baby and I wouldn't be able to do this. I got out of the chair and hurried out crying. I even forgot my dentures. It took all I could muster to go back in and get them.
Fast forward to the sedation session. I guess it went well until my bone got infected. I needed high dose antibiotics for a month. Thankfully I never had to see that doctor again. Unfortunately I spent the next several years seeing different dentists every other visit. I was going at least monthly and dealing with poor fit, bite and pain. I developed tmj issues. After numerous adjustments they made a new snap in denture. At first it felt better but soon the teeth started chipping and even falling out. The teeth are plastic. I was going once or twice a month for repairs. I said I was tired of this and unhappy with their services. I was told if I returned the teeth they would return the cost minus the cost of services. It would take some time to determine the refund. You pay with the services all included but refunds are not. I would have left with no teeth, implant pegs and uncertain funds for a new dentist.
I am paying out of pocket because I am disabled and medicare doesn't pay for it. Finally the pallet cracked and a new denture was needed. When it was made I was told by the dentist that when not eating or talking that I needed to keep my tongue between my top top and bottom teeth so that they don't break! At home home I would take them out often because of the discomfort of this. In the last 2 months my front tooth has fallen out while eating lunch twice. The glue visible from the repair. During all this I have had 2 lower partial dentures made. Both were uncomfortable and not capable of eating most foods. I wear them for appearance.
My mother had the same set of dentures for over 50 years with no problems. They were not plastic and not disposable like today's seem to be. I was told the new plastic dentures are more esthetically natural and you can't get the other kind. I'm concerned about toxins in plastics and being able to eat more than esthetics!

I went for 1 sore tooth. #31. They advertised $29 exam and X-rays. By the time I left the office. They said they found numerous items that needed to be addressed. $24,000 dollars worth of upselling. The tooth that I was concerned about, I was told to see another doctor and the consultation was going to be $475. Just to see the dentist. What a joke and upsale. They are in it for all the wrong reasons. Oh yea. Btw. I had no cavities.

Very unprofessional experience at Aspen Dental. The Office/Finance Manager was rude, dismissive, and spoke to patients in a condescending manner. What was most concerning was that private financial matters were discussed openly at the front desk, within earshot of other patients. This should never happen those conversations need to be handled in a private setting to protect patient confidentiality. Between the poor attitude and lack of respect for privacy, this visit left a very negative impression. Aspen Dental seriously needs to address professionalism and how patients are treated. These type of behavior will make a bad name for a company. Customer Service training definitely needs to be put in place.

Sadly our experience at the Aspen Dental Office in Chambersburg PA was horrible. My husband and I, we are new to the area, thought we were going in for a teeth cleaning and check up. It was not explained to us until after I had extensive X-rays taken that no actual dental services are provided on the first visit by Aspen. This was not communicated to us in our initial conversations with Aspen to set these appointments up. When we raised concerns about the miscommunication, they said that is the Aspen protocol. They then spoke to the doctor and we were told to leave as we would not be accepted there as patients. We were dumbfounded by this treatment, so upsetting to say the least. We do not have a receipt for the X-rays they took but we were a verified patient.

I came in for dental cleaning in Feb 2024 and was asked to open a Care Credit account in the amount $1800.00, to cover charges until insurance pays. Like a dummy I agreed. However, I also had dual coverage at the time. A year later I am still paying for care credit. I have called multiple times only to get the run around. First insurance paid and second insurance denied due to untimely filing. I demand a refund to cover care credit bill. This place is fraudulent in all the charges for new patients. I will never recommend this con of a dental office. Still till today no resolution 2 years and 2 months later. SCAMMERS of dental office.

The office was very nice and new and the employees were nice. I had made an appointment for a cleaning because I was wanting to change dentists. I was assured I could get a cleaning. They did x-rays and told me I had periodontal disease and needed deep cleaning. I do not believe them. They said I would need to have it done in 2 sessions and would need to return every 4 months for upkeep. They also said I needed a crown replaced. I told them that the crown was not bothering me and that at this time I was not going to have it replaced.
They also told me I needed an implant for a molar tooth that was extracted over 20 years ago. They said my bill would be 10,658.00 and that I would owe 6,150.00 after my insurance. I told them they were out of their mind. They refused to do a regular cleaning because they said it would be subpar. If they really cared about people they would have just did a regular cleaning which is all I needed. They are a bunch of crazies out to get your money.

I have a emergency broken tooth. Went on their website I scheduled a emergency appointment. The site had several that day. I picked one gave them all my personal information then not even 5 minutes later I got a email text and phone call. 3 contacts saying I would have to reschedule for 2 days away because they allegedly booked 2 people for the same slot. So this is horrible service business practice. I believe they offer walk ins and same day emergency services and when you give them your information it's, "Oops we made a mistake counting on the patient" to just keep the new appointment. Then I called the Tilton office and the lady was rude. Cut me off and had zero concern about my emergency. Joke and a scam. I'm gonna try and go back on the site see if that time slot is available to see if they in fact run a scam. Stay tuned.

The staff was friendly and the hygienist was thorough; however, the business structure is made to maximize profit. They are very pricey! I changed dentist this month and I am very satisfied with the care and prices. I would not recommend them to a friend.

My husband had an appointment on a Friday for 2 broken teeth. The lady doing the x-ray was very rough and demanding. My husband explained that he was legally deaf and she need to speak up. I could hear them from the waiting area. Her demeanor was less than caring, basically ordering him to open and close his mouth. Once in the exam room, the same person used a wand type instrument to take pictures of his teeth. Once the dentist came in the room, she did not address the reason why we came in the first place, but started telling my husband that he needed A LOT of other work and had to have SEVERAL teeth removed and that she could not do anything about the 2 teeth that he came in for.
Unfortunately, my husband made a remark about wanting a male dentist, that the woman that saw him didn't know what she was doing. As a result, they dropped him as a patient, claiming that they were "uncomfortable" treating him because of his comment. We did not find this out until I went to get a medical release form from the office. They made claims about things that just were not said. This place is horrible. Save yourself the pain of going.

I went to Aspen Dental in Hixson, Tennessee in August of 2025. I waited 4 hours before they even called me back. Then did so many x-rays and then told me I needed deep cleaning under my gums. The office manager gave me paperwork to fill out for financing! I have insurance but it wouldn’t be enough! My insurance had $2500 and they wanted me to get a loan for $3000 more! I left to think it over. I went to another dentist and I don’t have anything wrong with my teeth or gums! Very disappointed and mad that they are taking money from people and saying that need services that they don’t!!!

Had been a patient at Aspen Dental and had two front fillings fall out that were done less than 2 years ago and asked to get in as soon as possible to get them refilled. They did schedule me in for the next week, but failed to tell me that it was just for X-rays and not to actually be to fix them. That would be week’s out while I had another dentist who could have got me in that Wednesday fill them! So ended up losing that appointment because aspen said they would take care of it! Also charged me 189.00 for the visit and wanted 800.00 for the filling of the tooth that they put in less than 2 years ago! Total scam and garbage! Beware! The message of if you have an emergency for your teeth they will make you a priority is a lie! You will be booked out months! Even if it their work that failed! Less than 2 years since fillings shouldn’t cost 800.00!

I feel like it is necessary to write a review regarding Aspen Dental. In 2015 I had 13 teeth extracted. I made the appointment specifically so that I could have anesthesia considering that I had 13 teeth to be removed. Upon arriving for my appointment. I was informed that the anesthesiologist wasn’t in that day. I question the validity of making the appointment specifically for an anesthesiologist in the first place because they couldn’t have cared less that the anesthesiologist wasn’t there. Instead of trying to make another appointment for which I assumed the anesthesiologist would again not be there. I went ahead and had 13 teeth extracted with Novacaine only.
The person who was extracting my teeth and his associate talked nonstop about their personal life while working on my mouth. Never once did either of them ask how I was doing, explain the procedure or use my name. It was a humiliating and life altering experience. Losing all of your teeth in one day is life-changing. Having uninterested dentists, and technicians working on you never using your name never asking how you’re feeling was a depressing thing to go through. The dentures they gave me that day were in no way shape or form going to fit me. Because my contract included a second set of dentures I was fortunately able to get that second set however, I had to argue the fact that it was included in my contract. This all occurred at the Fort Wayne Indiana office on Coldwater Road.
More recently, my next-door neighbor visited the Angola Aspen dental. Her experience was a nightmare. She went in with infected impacted molars. She was told to go home and take Advil. The next day, her face was swollen to twice. Its normal size the infection had spread throughout her entire face. She was in obvious distress when she went to the dentist and her symptoms were dismissed. Upon returning to Aspen dental, she was told that she would be seen without being charged. Obviously, they did not hold to their promise. She was bullied by the technicians and dentist into paying for a plasma technique to fill in the holes that would be left from extracting her tooth. This procedure is not even FDA approved and not covered by her insurance, but they explained that they could not do this extraction without it. This is untrue.
Fortunately, she was able to find an independent dentist who was able to serve her without the plasma treatment obviously. Another friend of mine went to the same Aspen dental in Angola, Indiana for a teeth cleaning. He was told that he must have a fluoride treatment if they were to clean his teeth. Again, this treatment was not covered under his insurance and cost $1000. They would not clean his teeth unless he submitted to the fluoride treatment he walked out. This business is unethical, money hungry bullying and quite frankly. Immoral. I hope that this review and others that I have read will be monitored in some way by those who have some morals and some influence on the unethical treatment of patients. It’s a shame that dentist have been warehoused into a business that thinks only of the bottom line and could care less about its patients. I will be checking back at this review to see if my review stays online.

I recently visited Aspen dental in Hermitage Pennsylvania. First visit I was forgotten and left to sit in the waiting room until I spoke up almost 1 hour after my scheduled appointment time. They did admit they forgot about me. Next were the fees for said procedures and wanted paid up front before and procedures happened. This has never been the protocol at my previous dentist who is unfortunately retiring. Then I was scheduled for other procedures at another Aspen for because they didn't offer those at this office. Then they tried to hit me with more fees to go there. Went for an extraction and they were going to pull the wrong tooth! Tried to talk me into 4 root canals and crowns. This company is a joke. In short I canceled all appointments and procedures and got a total refund. Please be aware of their bait tactics and overpricing.

I had an appointment with Aspen Dental in Hanover, PA on January 14, 2026. I was not pleased with my experience as it felt like they treated my teeth like a car warranty more than health. They kept offering me their version of Invisalign which I do not need. The doc offered it, I said no. The tech then offered it, I said no. And they wouldn’t let me leave without seeing the office manager who offered it and I said no again. Confirming that I moved dentists and they said there is nothing wrong with the alignment of my teeth (this was my first time with any dentist in 30+ years every mentioning something like this to me before and pushing it on me).
On January 20, 2026, I put in a formal request to have my records released to me (including X-Rays) as well as transferred to my new dentist office. Shortly after that, the secretary at Aspen Dental, Hanover confirmed she sent my request in. I called the Hanover office numerous times for my records but never received a call back. On March 10, 2026, I called corporate for the status of my records. They said they received my request but it wasn’t processed and that they would process it then and I should receive my records to my email within 5-10 business days. It is now well over 10 business days and I have still not received my records. According to HIPAA regulations, they are try provide my records to me upon request. It has now been over 2 months since my original request and I have still not received my records and neither has my new dentist. Meaning, they are also not HIPAA compliant.
Seems like they do anything they can to sell whatever people are gullible enough to buy from them and then they trap you there by not sharing your records. I will also be filing a complaint with the State Dental Board as the HIPAA violation is pretty serious. If they’re violating it in this way, it makes me wonder what other illegal things this company is doing with patient information. I am legally entitled to my med records.

Aspen Dental has been my dentist for about 4 years. I’ve invested over 30,000 for my implants. I’ve been back on 3 different occasions because I’ve lost 3 different teeth while eating.

Aspen Dental in Tuscaloosa, AL is the worst! I had an appointment scheduled for 7:30 am on 3/26/2026. I confirmed appointment and made sure that I saved it in my phone.

Aspen Dental is the worst dentist I have been to in my life. I should have listened to several people that told me not to go there. They are overpriced for the services.

Chipped a tooth. No dental insurance. Scheduled an appt and did get in within 48 hrs. Spent 2.25 hrs there. Xrays, scans, ect. Doc goes over my teeth, asking me to smile, explains how I need a "deep cleaning", how I am not happy with my smile. She suggested problems I might have. Not a word about my chip tooth, which I mentioned numerous times. Then when she was done, she told me the office manager would see me. I again asked about my chipped tooth. I got an, "Oh yeah, we will have to remove it". Then began adding on additional problems with that.
No to the office manager. She began her selling introduction. I stopped her and asked how much for the chipped tooth. 12 mins later, she gave me a bill for over $28,000. Supposedly, for ALL the work they said I needed. Again, how much for the chipped tooth. Upsale, upsale, upsale. Finally after all this, $285 to remove the tooth. Scheduled and left. The day of removal they called and canceled and did not reschedule. Aspen dental is a money making scheme. Preying on those who don't have and trying to make them believe they need more.

Be very careful with this business, they are not forthright about their “practices” regarding getting all info, credit cards, ins info, etc. Also under the category that they GUIDE you.. you might say they force you to sign a CONTRACT on first appt! If you’re late or don’t call 24 hours ahead of emergency cancelation THEY WILL CHARGE FULLY FOR WHAT THEY HAD PLANNED TO DO FOR YOU THAT DAY. They will charge you without consent if you sign their CONTRACT. Don’t sign it. Do not empower companies like this, there are many dentists who do not run their doctor office without coming off pushy and confrontational.
