Bad dentures

I began going Sept. 12, 2007 to have new dentures made. After two months, the dentures were finally ready. They made the uppers much bigger than they had to be. The lowers gave me such pain that I had to go back 6 times to have them adjusted - but that didn't help. Eating became an ordeal of pain.

Finally, they said they would make new lowers. Two months later, when they were finished, they were way too large for my mouth and were the wrong color. So, back to the drawing board. I just received the new ones on July 1, 2008. They tried to charge for an office visit during the time I was going for preparation to make the new lowers, but I complained and they say they will cancel that charge. That remains to be seen.

The dentist, Dr. Casey, was very nice and very upset when the second ones came in with the wrong color. He said the technician was terrible. Dr. Casey has since left the company. And, I was told that the technician has been replaced. Who knows?

It has taken almost 11 months and a lot of money to have a decent set of dentures made, and they still aren't that great.

Beware of Aspen Dental!!!

I can relate to the poor dentures. My son went in for upper and lower dentures to Aspen Dental in Glendale, AZ, and three months later and three sets of teeth later, we finally gave up on them and asked for a refund. The first set of uppers were horrible and teeth began falling out before we were home. We immediately notified them of the problem and they tried gluing the teeth in, but as soon as my son ate, the teeth fell out. They were very apologetic and offered to make another set of uppers, and those were way too big for his mouth. He looked like he had buck teeth. After we went in for the third set, they were just as horrible, and too big and crooked. The dentist said "well maybe you will have to learn how to chew differently"!! Unbelievable. This finally put me over the edge. The bottoms were the same story, they hurt him and caused an ulcer on his gums, and then the teeth started to fall off the metal bridge and the gums just disintegrated. They agreed to refund the money for the dentures which was supposed to be around $1500., but when I called them to find out when I might expect my refund, the office manager wouldn't speak to me, and had someone else tell me that the refunded amount would be $900. I blew up and told them I would contact my credit card company and dispute the charge . Someone else that I never heard of from the office finally called me back and said that they would refund my full amount, but they didn't take responsibility for the poor workmanship, and blamed it on my son. Well, if you can't eat soft cereal without teeth falling out, something is wrong!! I wouldn't recommend them to anyone!!

I will add that the office people were always very pleasant the numerous times we were there. As of today, they refunded my money.

I can relate to all the complaints regarding ASPEN DENTAL! I was treated at the Tarentum, PA location. The DENTURES I GOT WERE WAY TO BIG!! I can't believe I am reading all these stories. I have tried with these people and they keep giving me BS. They must of used godzilla's mouth as a mold. The dentures were so big, they just fell out. I was told that they would tighten up in a few days! What? I waited 6 mos. to be sure my gums were healed so that I would get the best fit possible. DO THEY MAKE SELF-ADJUSTING DENTURES NOW?!!! Here I sit, with cheap temps, Aspen has got my final dentures and my $2500.00!! They want both sets of dentures in order to give me a refund...are they crazy...leaving me with no teeth and no money? Get this they could not tell me what the refund would be!! What did I pay? Well, you got a package deal! Yes, and they gave me $300.00 off the top-of-the-line-dentures!, , so $300.00 off what, the manager Kim Sullivan, said well I have to call corporate. Can anyone believe this stuff. This manager is rude and insulting. If they gave me the Top-Of-The-Line dentures, I would hate to see what the cheapest ones are...wax? Please do not go to this facility for dentures, they say they will help you find your smile!! NO NO NO they find your POCKETS, TAKE YOUR MONEY AND LEAVE YOU HANGING!! I still do not know what is going to happen and at this point I am at a lose, I really do not know what to do. Please GO ELSEWHERE, , , I BEG YOU, , , if you go to ASPEN you will be SORRY...
