WORTH THE READ: I give credit where credit is due. I never heard of Aspen Dental until I moved to Ablemarle. I had a dental emergency and made an appointment. We came up with a treatment plan. Listen people: when I tell you that the folks at this place were kind, compassionate, and caring, I mean it. I have never been happy with or proud of my smile. Not only were they respectful and courteous, they walked me through the entire process, explaining everything in detail, without hesitation. I had a permanent bridge and 3 crowns placed in my mouth. I was scared. I also was ashamed of how genetics have destroyed my teeth even though I brush and floss. They were kind and sympathetic to what I was feeling and going through. The entire process was easy. I was calm and relaxed through it all. Dr. Shelley and the care team here are phenomenal. It may seem like it costs a fortune, however, I promise it will be the best you've ever spent. It may also be the best dental experience you ever encounter. I have always hidden my smile in photos, in person, or when laughing. Now? I can be proud of my smile and actually laugh without worry. The team at Aspen Dental will never really know how truly grateful and thankful I am for them. Honestly, yall are literally the best.

Took my 87 year old mother in after her old denture broke and the staff at Aspen Dental in Albemarle NC were all amazing! Polite and very accommodating as my mother has dementia and is not the easiest to work with as far as understanding instructions. The dentist was very thorough and all of the staff we dealt with were very prompt. Just overall a very good experience and much appreciated easy transition to a new denture for my mother!

This was by far the best experience that I've had for a dental appointment. From the moment you arrive until you leave, the staff and doctor's are great.
Talk about costumer service with a smile. They make you feel like family. I recommend the Aspen dental office in Albemarle for all of your dental needs.
