I absolutely did not like the 2 partials I got at affordable dentures. When I came to Aspen Dental I wasn’t expecting such great treatment of all aspects of my appointment. I didn’t mind all they had to do with my teeth because they were wonderful from beginning to end. The lady that cleaned my teeth was excellent. The best cleaning I have ever had. The dentist had me laughing even though I had an abscess and he pulled my tooth with no problems after. Where I had always been scared when I had to go to the dentist I was not this time. Also when they fit my partial it looked and felt like my permanent teeth. Haven’t tried eating with the partial yet but I will assume it’s going to work great too. Never was able to eat with the ones I got from Affordable Dentures. I recommend that you go to the best don’t waste your time going somewhere else. Because Aspen Dental was awesome!!

Honestly, Dr. Moe is amazing. He explained everything step by step in a way that made sense, and the whole procedure was super thorough. The staff was also incredible; everyone was friendly and the appointment went really smoothly with no waiting at all. I walked out feeling comfortable and confident about the work he did. Highly recommend him

Love this dentist office! From the moment I first walked in they treated me with care and enthusiasm for my journey. Dr. Mo and Sarah are the best, they took great care of me the whole time. I definitely recommend this dentist office to anyone looking for a new smile with a great team behind them!

Acted like they took our insurance on the phone as I made the appt we got there and they said we don’t take your insurance but you can be seen for $30 then they wanted another $500 for treatment..we left! Missed work for nothing. I gave them all the insurance information as we set up appt. Not sure why they didn’t tell me they didn’t take it so I didn’t waste my time. Guess they wanted $30. On a side note the Dentist we seen seemed like a nice man.

This dental office is an amazing place! Everyone was super nice, from Emily and Travis in the front office to Destinee that took all my x rays and McKenzie who presented my dental plan. And let's not forget Dr. Mo who was so kind and gentle with the exam. I would highly recommend this office to everyone looking for dental care.
