I seriously hate going to the dentist, but this specific Aspen Dental location is the best experience I’ve ever had. The receptionist welcomed me as soon as I got there and quickly got me through new patient paperwork. Then Stephanie took my X-rays which took literally 5 minutes and was super comfortable and smooth. Lauren the hygienist was super friendly, relaxing to be around, and super sweet. Afterwards, Riley walked me through additional paperwork (insurance stuff) efficiently and let me ask as many questions as I wanted. I didn’t feel pressured one bit to take my time on reading the charges as my insurance didn’t cover my visit entirely. Also, the entire vibe of the office was welcoming and everyone seemed to love their jobs and coworkers. 10/10 freakin experience and I highly recommend going to this location and this location only!

I can’t recommend Aspen Dental in SLO highly enough. The entire team is consistently friendly, professional, and genuinely caring.
Special thanks to Ann and Lauren, who always make me feel like a rock star when I walk in! They remember details about my life and family, which makes each visit feel special.
I’m truly grateful for the excellent care I've received!

The SLO team did not disappoint! Morgan was wonderful and showed me my Motto journey from the start to now and I am very satisfied. Lauren did an awesome job on my cleaning and was very gentle on my sensitive gums and teeth. Ann made sure I was back and in the chair for my appointments on time and had me out very quickly. I am very impressed with this whole team. I highly recommend Aspen Dental to anyone who needs dental care.
