I had such a great experience here! From the moment I walked in, everyone was super kind and welcoming. I was even able to get in the very next day, which was a huge plus.
Demi, Lacey, and Dr. Jones took the time to answer all of my questions without making me feel rushed or judged, which honestly meant a lot. The appointment itself was quick and efficient. I was in and out, but still felt like I got really thorough care.
It’s not always easy to find a dental office that’s both professional and comfortable, but they nailed it. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a place that makes going to the dentist way less stressful!

My husband and I found Aspen after an unsuccessful attempt at another dentist. We are so thankful! Everyone has been awesome from day one and I am confident that our care has been the best! My husband had the most severe issues needing his upper teeth pulled and part of the lower ones. We decided on dentures. Brandon Nelson made the temporary set and they are so good that no one can tell they are fake!!! I am stunned that the temporary set is not permanent they are so good!!! The staff has also been super patient with my husband; he has Alzheimer’s and it can be challenging to work with him. For me, I went through Motto and my experience has been awesome as well. Kudos to Brandon and to all of the Aspen Oak Ridge folks!!!

I had a wonderful experience at Aspen Dental in Oak Ridge, TN! The entire team was friendly and professional, and the office was clean and welcoming. A special shout-out to Lacy, the office manager, who went above and beyond to help me with scheduling and paperwork — she made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend this location! Will recommend to others for sure!
