I don’t usually write reviews, but I had to this time because I had such an awesome experience. I’ve had a lot of negative experiences with dentist offices in the past- and admittedly usually avoid them now, but had to go get a cavity filled when it started causing me significant pain. The staff at this location is wonderful. Everyone was so kind and helpful, and continually checked in to make sure I was comfortable, informed, and happy with everything that was going on. My first visit was during a “new patient no insurance” type of promo, so I had x rays and was checked over thoroughly and was not charged. They scheduled me for the cavity filling for a few days after the first appointment and I think the cost was pretty reasonable, I think around $250 with no insurance. They made sure I didn’t have any pain before the cavity was filled, and when I said there might be a little pain they immediately corrected it and gave me more novocaine. Everyone I spoke with was kind and helpful and not judgmental (I was way past due for dental care lol) and the cavity was filled insanely fast, I think only 3 songs played on their radio for the entirety of the procedure. They gave me a whole treatment plan for everything they recommend for me (a lot), but there was no pressure to schedule until I was ready to do so. My tooth feels great and I can chew on the right side of my mouth again! Awesome awesome people. Great experience and totally erased my stress regarding dentist appointments, can’t recommend them enough!!

A+++ Jules, Kelsey, Dr Henson.(sorry I think I lost the paper out the car I hope I got all the names right) I’m 27 years of age and this was the best dental visit I’ve ever had. I spoke with three different dental specialist just for my exam, they were very thorough. I thought my teeth was on the way to done for and they was like “girl what you talking about? We’ve seen worse.” 😂 and they really did show me worse with a tooth from a previous patient. I think by how excited she was to show me she really kinda enjoys her job and that’s a dang good thing. Made me feel like she was here for her patients and not just payment. they say they can save my teeth and give me a healthy mouth and smile and while dental care is expensive to someone like me no matter where you go the full price is soooooooo much less than I was ready for. Feeling really confident after this visit 👏

Due to my insurance I have gone for just over two years without lower dentures. When you walk in you feel right at home every member of staff is smiling and very welcoming. I’m so sorry I don’t remember my dentist’s name, but he is awesome. This is my third set of lower dentures and I can honestly say these are the best. They fit perfectly, no fixodent needed. I would highly recommend you use this office, not just dentures, any dental work. They are truly exceptional. Thank you for making me so happy.

I had a cleaning that was a follow up appointment. I entered the building ten minutes before my appointment time. The front desk person was on the phone and I had to wait about seven minutes, standing there before he greeted me. Then I gave my name and what I was there for. He said it would cost an amount that I had not expected, given my insurance and their policy that’s like a membership that I had paid for last time I was there, still it was over a hundred dollars. I took out my bank card to offer to him. He said that he would send me a link so I could enter all the details and pay on my phone. He did send the link and I had to enter my card number and all my information to this company I had never heard of - so now they have my information and my bank card information, terrific! It sure was easier for him! Then I sat and waited. 20 minutes after my appointed time, the hygienist came and apologized for the wait and thanked me for waiting. The cleaning was great, she offered advice and said I was doing a great job cleaning my teeth and gums. I refused the fluoride treatment that she was about to do as part of the cleaning that is usually included and that I had been charged for without asking if I even wanted it. She said she would remove the charges for the fluoride. So overall, the system is not to my liking , making me wait, and making me share info with a third party, and assuming the fluoride was wanted, but the hygienist is nice.

I just want to share my great experience with Aspen Dental. I am 69 years old and I am definitely afraid of the dentist. Because of past bad experiences. I went into the Aspen Dentsl in Murrells Inlet and I was a nervous wreck. They said they had to take X-rays. The technician was very professional. She explained everything she was doing. The dentist was very professional also. I have been back for a deep cleaning and the hygienist was very professional and caring. I can say they made me feel comfortable and relaxed. From the time you walk through the front door you are greeted with professionalism and caring. I would give more stars if I could.
