Aspen Dental

Anyone have any experience with them? DH went there for the first time yesterday and they wanna do all this expensive, ridiculous work on him. I looked them up on the Internet and, other than their website, all I could really find was negative reviews.

Always get a second and third opinion on dental work. I wish I had known this way back when...

They are a chain dental company. I would not go there.

DH called his previous dentist and he agreed with the negative reviews. DH just found out that the previous dentist takes his insurance, so he's going there instead. Thanks!

I've never worked with or heard anything about Aspen Dental.

The only places I've went to in my adult life are Gentle Dental: Burlington and Chelmsford. Burlington is fine, not outstanding but not bad. They did cancel on me a few times because the hygienist had to leave. [:-P] I stopped making appointments for that day of the week. I transferred to Chelmsford because it is closer to my house (Burlington was closer to my parents' house where I lived after college, before moving in with DH).

Anyways, to make a long story short, I've only been to Chelmsford once but I had a really good experience. The hygienist and dentist were very gentle (no pun intended) and I didn't bleed or feel sore at all. And always bleed, a lot! They used a water pik rather than the traditional pik and it was so much better. I'd highly recommend a place that uses a water pik.

AVOID! Their dentists are considered contractors, and as such, "Aspen Dental" will NOT stand behind any work done by contracted dentists.

My very silly husband went there (Framingham- no longer open) not realizing it was a chain and had a bad experience. They rushed him through and actually neglected to clean a quarter of his mouth! (he was having a deep clean- that's typically done in quarters)

Also, If they did X-rays, be sure to get originals, not photo copies. Photo copies are diagnostically irrelevant, and X-rays will need to be repeated Sad . And they might try to get a copy fee from you. Don't pay it. Its unethical and against ADA guidelines.

In Brookline, I really Dr.Zawell

Good Luck

Thanks for this! DH actually found out his previous dentist will take his insurance, so he's going there, but he needs to get his x-rays and records. They're charging him $5.
