Aspen Dental complaint-not

This is NOT a COMPLAINT this is a response to one, the patient surveys given to the patients are for the patient to help team/office improve areas that need improving or to compliment an employee or an entire office, the patient is placed in a drawing that they may win$100, the employees have a monthly "friendly" contest to see how many good reviews the office they work in can achieve the winning office gets a reward not a huge sum of $$, just a thank you ...

This is NOT a COMPLAINT but a response to one, the surveys handed out @ ASPEN DENTAL are not for bonus $ they are for the patient to tell about the experience to help improve areas that need improving or to compliment an individual or an entire office, the patient is also placed in a drawing to win $100 and the $ for handing out surveys by employees is a friendly contest with in the practice the team that wins gets a bonus gift card...not a lg sum $$$

Aspen Dental horrible treatment in and out of their office

Horrible service. I originally went in for a tooth that was bothering me and walked out with $50 of products I did not need, a treatment plan of over $3000, and another credit card. Went back for the recommended cleaning and, again, walked out with the "suggested" rotadent toothbrush (which cost me $120) and fluoride rinse. The hygienist did not tell me how much these products were, otherwise I would not have taken them in the first place. Now, getting in to trying to get ahold of someone. It took the office assistant a week to get back to me about canceling my appointments and getting a refund on my care credit card (which is their solution to giving people affordable care when they can't afford it). Then, 3 months later, after trying these products out and I don't like them, I try contacting the office for a refund on the $203 they duped me into paying. They tell me they can't give me a refund because the products have been used. So, I call their patient satisfaction number, and only after threatening to call the better business bureau, do I get a response that they will refund all of the products and not just the toothbrush that they originally told me they could do. And, by the way, giving me attitude, like it was my fault that they didn't tell me up front how much these "extra" products were going to cost. My advice, do not go to aspen dental unless you are willing to basically hand over all your hard earned money. The hygienist even went so far as to tell me that they get a bonus for their patient satisfaction surveys they tell you to take after every visit. Not professional at all!

Aspen Dental substandard dental work

Where do I begin? Aspen Dental is the "Fast Food" of dental care, honestly, I spent $1400.00 out of pocket and every one of the fillings fell out within 2 years .Other dentists were appalled at the lack of quality and sub-standard workmanship...folks save your money ...find a reputable dentist...do not go to these assembly line" hacks" zero quality, zero accountability, 1st rate price ...4th rate service.

Aspen Dental poor pressured services

My husband has an infected and broken molar, which kept us up all night. I was happy to get him in to Aspen Dental first thing in the morning. We have great insurance and he went to get xrays and urgent dental care. He waits for along time, that's ok, I suppose. He gets xrays, great! His face is swollen because of the infection and he is nearly in tears. They only offered him antibiotics and an appointment weeks away with an Oral Surgeon, which he would have to pay over $170.00 in advance to even make the appointment. No pain medication whats so ever!

I understand the medication abuse now a days, but when you can clearly see a problem and not prescribe... That is my issue. Now, we have wasted a free visit with our insurance for antibiotics he has at home.

Thanks but no thanks.

Aspen Dental partial adjustment

I went to Aspen Dental to get an adjustment on my partial. I was told that since I hadn't
been back since the fall of 2011 when I purchased the partial from them that I would have to have a consultation with the dentist and also would need x-rays taken. The price for this was $105.00 dollars. I told the receptionist all I needed was an adjustment not a consultation or x-rays. She told me that was the way it was. I told her to forget it and walked out. I will never go back to Aspen and I will tell everyone not to go there. ($2300.00 and no adjustment for top denture and lower partial)

Aspen Dental false advertise very unprofessional

My sister called based on the advertisement in every phone book and every search engine $299.00 for dentures! Wrong not true, cheapest dentures are $599.99 and when I spoke to the dental office because I am the one paying (Her sister) they told me they wanted $400.00 down and the other $200 when the dentures were delivered! They brought her in for 3 impressions and then had her call me and say that they wanted the balance before they made the dentures! I got on the phone with joel their office person and said why are you changing the agreement! He said uh well you are in one state and your sister is here in maine! Its was just a way for them to try and get all the money up front and not abide by their original agreement! They said they would credit me and so far I am waiting! I have gone to the one here in ct. And it is like going to the dentist in a 3rd world country. Poor service and they want to take 10 x rays so they can bill you insurance or the state you live in. Aspen dental should be called ghetto dental!

Aspen Dental bad fitting dentures

On the 23rd of November 2012 I purchased a full set of Dentures from Aspen Dental for $2, 300.00. Since then I have been back to them 4 times because the bottoms DON'T FIT. Each time they filed them down, the last time I went 2 weeks ago I was told that my jaw bone structure had deteareated and the only solution was to have 4 posts put in at $2, 190.00. NOW-----heres the problem, I am 67 and on Social Security at the sum of $730.00 a month. Sounds as though someone (DENTIST) dropped the ball. He couildn't te4 months ago I had this problem, or the first time I went back or the 2nd or 3rd time...Come on now. He is supposed to be the Expert. Now I'm in debt for $2, 300.00 for something I Can't use. They as much told me not to come back, that there was nothing they could do unless I want to pay to have post put in...For Gods sake, I'm still paying and will for the next several years. Why do I have to suffer for their screwup? Seems to me they should be willing to compensate me for something I CAN'T USE. Will be looking to you for some kind of advice or action.

Sincerely,

Cary Brown

MY husband had to have upper dentures, so July 2011 he went to have them put in, he was nervous so they prescribed 2 nerve pills. They put the dentures in and they didn't fit so they pulled his (GOOD) back bottom teeth to make them fit. He has not been able to eat right since. The price of $5, 000.00 included pulling top teeth and a reline which lasted less than 10 days. This took place at Aspen Dental in Hermitage, Pa.

Aspen Dental free xray exam

On 3/22/13 I called aspen dental in chelmsford ma for the ad they had that said free exam, xray and consultation. I asked if I would be charged for the any of the service or anything she said no. So I made an appfor the same day at 1pm when I got there I asked again and the receptionist sain no again and even before I went in I asked again she said no again. After I got the xrays and consultation I spoke to the manager kerri she confirmed that there were no charges. A week later I get a $68.75 bill after the manager kerri lied to my face. After being there for 3 hours I dont recommend aspen dental to anyone they lie and cheat everyone

No dentists I know do in-house payment plans. The truth of the matter is patients few follow up on payments after the dental treatment is completed. The best you can do is a third party lendere like Care Credit. If they do not approve you, no one will.

I would not trust any treatment plan concocted by this corporate chain. They are notorious for recommending unneeded treatment.

Look, I know it is tempting to go to a chain clinic in shopping centers open on Saturday with convenient hours. The truth is these clinics are owned not be dentists, but by private equity investors. This particular chain has been in trouble many times. There are NOT good places to go for health care.

What is wrong with going to a private dentist who owns his own practice? They have a vested interest in satisfying patients, and keeping them in a long-term relationship. There are plenty of these dentists in every corner of the United States.

I went to Aspen Dental for the first time a few days ago. The secretary over the phone had basically said that the first initial visit is x-rays and a cleaning. I received the x-rays
but did not receive the cleaning..I am retired military and do believe that I do have dental benefits.They had told me that I did'nt.They told me that there would be $19 for the visit. I had paid the amount.After the meeting with the financial assistant, everyone had blatantly ignored me. I went into the acting financial manager's office and was expecting a payment plan but was never offered. We had tried many avenues such as Genesis but was denied by not only Genesis but three others. They had discussed a payment plan and it was never mentioned. I had used my CareCredit credit card and there were no funds within the card. I have never been so dissatisfied with Aspen Dental until the initial visit and will not recommend it to anyone.

Aspen Dental poor service overall

Terrible service very slow and packed in office not kid friendly and rude staff...our insurance allows one free cleaning and x rays every six months and they sent us a bill for X-rays after my insurance sent me a copy of visit breakdown and showed they had paid for everything I called them and even though they eventually fixed the charge it took hours and several calls to make it happen

Aspen Dental worst teeth cleaning ever

New to the area, I chose to go to Aspen Dental because I could not find any other providers that accepted my insurance. Aside from the fact that they seem to be all about the money, rcommending procedures that are not necessary, I received the worst teeth cleaning of my entire life. The dental hygenist spent a maximum of 5 minutes with me. She quickly went over all of my teeth with the polish and then flossed only half of my teeth. She did a terrible job of cleaning my teeth and completely missed my lower left teeth when she flossed. I can actually see spots on my teeth where she didn't clean them. As for my husband, they recommended a complete scraping and planing of his teeth, which costs well over $1, 000 above what our insurance covers. When we told them we can't afford that procedure, they said they would not perform a regular cleaning because that would be a disservice to him. They would rather let him go without any type of dental care. That seems like a bigger disservice to me.

Aspen Dental worst company

This is by far the most awful company I have ever had to deal with! I went to the dentist in September 2012, for a cleaning and a check up. I had one small cavity and came back to have it filled the next week. I have Delta Dental insurance and I paid my portion up front that day. I talked with them about a month later to make sure I had no bills and they confirmed I did not. Then in Feb (5 MONTHS LATER) I got a check from them for 30.00 saying there was a credit on my account. So I cashed the check. Then, yesterday, Feb 25th, I received a statement bill in the mail dated for 2/19/13 for 50.00. I called Aspen Dental questioning as to why I got a credit a month ago and now they want me to pay them. The woman was not helpful and couldn't give me a reason other than maybe my insurance didn't come through until now (we are at about 6 months later). So I was getting nowhere with this woman, so I said bye. THEN TODAY I get a call from Aspen Dental again saying if I don't pay this 50.00 bill now that they were sending me to collections! This was THE FIRST BILL I have ever received from them and the due date on it was 3/4/13. So unbelievable. I told her the situation and she stated she would let corporate know. Like that will do any good! Needless to say, I paid the bill over the phone and I will never be seeing or speaking to this awful company again.

Long story short, do not go to this awful company! They are commercialized and don't care at all about their customers.

And my visit there was nothing special. Rude workers, rude dentist, just a horrible place. Don't go.

And I thought that I'm the only one. Bills after Bills, even after I got that ridiculous dental plan paid that said will covered everything(?). About 4000, That should covered all the future visites within the dental plan.. Such as those 4 wisdom teeth and cleaning and fillings.
I hope that the employees are treated good, from what I read from other sites.

Aspen Dental ripoff

I went to Aspen Dental because I had a toothache and they are the only dentist in my driving area that accepts Cigna HMO. They filled 7 of my teeth. I agreed to the horrible price they were charging me over and above the insurance because I thought it had to be lower than no insurance at all. After the work was finished my teeth hurt me horribly. After 2 months, I made a follow up appointment with them and they told me to use Sensodyne toothpaste and it was my fault because I had so many cavities. I walked out and never returned. Recently (about 4 months post Aspen Dental work) I changed my dental insurance and went to a different dentist to find out why my teeth are still hurting. The new dentist took a full set of XRays. The reason my teeth are still hurting is because Aspen dental put a filling on top of a cavity. In addition to this, they filled two teeth and the filling material is not sealed to the tooth, and there are holes along the edge open to the nerve. All three teeth need to be re-done. And all they told me was to use Sensodyne.

If I was not so busy, I would sue them. Shoddy shoddy work. Do not spend your hard earned money with them.

Aspen Dental poor coustmer service

I went on November to have some dental work done because I was in a lot of pain. I rad under the impression that they had a payment plan and come to find out you had to apply for a credit card. What a great payment plan! So I just decided to use a credit card that I already had it had a much lower interest rate and didn't have strut stupid pen notably fees. So any way I needed four teeth filled which one still hurts and three extracted where I had done somewhere else. Than come to Find out the partials that they made from the impression of my teeth hade to be done before the extraction. Surprise they did not fit because my mouth was so swollen when they did them . I was told by the dentist to bring them and have the oral surgeon put them in right after my extraction there got he informed me that they were to big he couldn't get then to fit properly . I said ok took them home and had an appointment at noon time the next day maybe the cloud get them to fit. The dentist assistant tried for 45 min I was on excruciating pain at this point and told her I had enough they just don't fit properly. Them she proceeded to go get a dentist George tried to file them down some more which I told her they don't fit. Her reaction was having a conversation about lunch with another employee. Then she asked me when I had the molds made I said November . She's said oh well you are still very swollen take them home keep trying them make an app for Tuesday and we will go from there and went to lunch! Meanwhile I was extremely up set because I haven't been able to eat for a few days she didn't seem to care . So when I approached the check out desk I let the girl there know I was very unhappy with the service I just got her response was we can make you am app for later today but we close get lunch from 1 to 2 pm. I was steaming at this point made am app for Tuesday and walked out! Tuesday came I drove all the way there which I live a half hour away I told her the same dentist that they still do not fit. Do she said we will have to make new impressions but I have toile another app for that ya wast response I don't live close by and do you knot how hard it is to find a sitter and I have to keep missing work . Every time I come here it seem like a waste. However I went back again toile the impressions where I wated 45 min. Past my app for a 10om thing I was not happy again I let them know. The dental ### told me they would be ready after two on Tuesday made the app for Tuesday at 3:30 because they would be ready by 2:00. Monday came they called to conferm my app I sad ok I will be there. Tuesday comes I show up to find out my app was canceled on the dentures are not ready. They tried to say that I canceled the app I loudly said if I canceled it would I be here then. I am so pissed off at this point I asked when will they be ready she said Friday I said what she said that there are more high priority cases that need to be done first. Oh really I said some one will know about the terrible service I recorded throughout this ordel I will pick them up in mon and find somewhere else to go

Aspen Dental - billing

I went to Aspen because the commercials make it look like a pleasant experience. Wrong. The dentist made me feel worse about myself then I already did. I knew my teeth were bad, that is why I was there. After x-rays, and an exam I was sent to the finance woman. I needed about $6, 000 worth of work done. We broke it down, and I agreed to have about $3, 000...

Aspen Dental customer complaint

I called Aspen Dental in Bradenton FL 1/24 in the evening to get an appoint for my husband who had a severe toothache. We got the appointment for the next morn at 8am and were told to come in early to fill out forms. We arrived at 738am, no one addressed us until 810am when a lady said she didn't know where the reception was but she would try to help. The office mgr ended up helping and approximate 825am took my husband back. We were told my husband would be examined, I asked if they would take care of the problem today to get rid of the pain, the office mgr said IF they had time to they would but depending on what the problem was they might not have time. I told the mgr I would call another dentist that could relieve the pain if they couldn't. At approximately 9am my husband and I met with the office mgr and were told my husband MIGHT need a root canal then the office mgr went on to talk about my husband has peridontal disease and needed treatments for it. I told him we were aware and our PA Dentist was addressing this and asked what was going to be done TODAY to addresss his pain. The office mgr said it would take a specialist to address the need or not for the root canal and Aspen Dental endodondist would be in FEBRUARY 14th! Unbelievable, stay in pain until February 14th. Needless to say, I lost it. No way was my husband going to suffer until February 14th. My husband and I insisted he make a referral to an endodondist for today. Finally he did and thankfully another endodondist saw him. First of all, the office manager was more concerned with selling us on periodontal disease treatments instead of focusin on what we were there for, the PAIN! I will NEVER, EVER go to Aspen Dental again and will do my best to discourage others from going as well. I worked for 40 years in healthcare and would never ask someone to endure pain for over 2 weeks so their own Dr. could see them. Unethical! I have also written to Florida Dental Association! I should have known that Aspen Dental is a business and not concerned about the welfare of their patients when the office manager is running the show instead of the dentist calling the shots!

I went to aspen dental in Lima Ohio and was treated for a gum dease and had at least 9 fills done and 1 tooth pull over a period of 6mnths . at a est. amount of 5000.00 . Over those 6 mnths. I complained of a tooth that felt like it had pressure in it [ one that was already repaired} I was told that was normal by one dentist, the next dentist told me to use a tooth paste for sensitive teeth . I never seen the same Dentist at this office more the once, always a new one . I also that year got fitted for bridges for my upper and lower teeth . Now 1 yr. later I have pain in the tooth I complained about the first year . so I call set up an appt. told them this is the same tooth I complained about 1 yr. ago .COMPLAINT IGNORED .I see another new dentist that tells me that it needed pulled and gave me an antibiotic and said see you in 7 days . so over the course of 6 days my face swells to where I look like a blow fish . I call they say totally normal . On the weekend my tooth then starts leaking puss . so on Monday I call Im basically talked to like Im an idiot or a drug addict looking for pain meds . and that after this tooth is pulled my bridge for my bottom teeth will no longer fit . If they would have listened the first time before my bridge was made I would not be typing this @ 2;30 am in so much pain I don't know where to turn .. I believe after this visit Im thru with Aspen Dental the are a rip off only out to make money ... No customer should go through what I'm going thru

Aspen Dental poor service

My husband went to this place for dentures. Surgery was required before getting the temporary dentures. For over 6 months he complained about the temporary dentures and never once did the dentist himself look at the problems. He receives an appointment for his permanent dentures hoping finally to have some that he can eat with. He got there this morning to find the dentist he was working with were all gone and now there is a new on that says he now has to have more bone removed from his mouth before he can have dentures. Another 6 month that he can only eat soft foods. He is not a large man so he has lost lots of weight already and this will make it a year plus without eating much of anything. If the dentist would have just looked when he was complaining he would have seen that he needed more surgery. Where was the communication between the oral surgeon and the dentist to begin with? Why is it someone who was not a dentist was the only one to see him after the surgery all these months? I would not recommend these people ever! In my opinion they should pay for the surgery to make it right not us.

Aspen Dental bad practices

I went to Aspen Dental for minor tooth pain. They did xrays and didn't find anything. They told me I would be referred to an oral surgeon to do more extensive xrays and MAY need a root canal and MAY need a crown. I was then taken to meet with the financial manager. She tells me how much insurance will pay towards these things I MAY need and how much my part would be. She then asked how I was going to pay for my part of these services that I MAY or MAY NOT need. I politely said I would prefer to pay AFTER the services and left. I have since changed dentists.

Aspen Dental wrong records

Aspen opened a new office near us so Myself and my 2 teenage children made appointments. First issue: I needed new dentures. They made the impression and sent it to their lab. The lab sent a wax model to try before they were made. I went in and tried them and I was told it was for the fit and was never shown a mirror. The fit seemed alright so they went ahead and made the dentures. When they came in I went in and got them, the first thing I noticed was that the teeth on the uppers were larger and protruded beyond my upper lip way more than my old dentures. When I complained about this, I was told that I OK'd them when I had the fitting with the wax set. I told them that I thought that was only for fit and not looks since I was never told to look in a mirror. They said too bad it's too late now. Shortly there after I was in the hospital and was seen by a speech/swallow professional and she said maybe the problem was my dentures. When I told her they were new she said they were the worst she had ever seen! So I am stuck with these teeth for at least 4 years til my insurance will pay for another set. Now for issue number 2...
both of my children supposedly had X-rays both bite-wing and pan-x. After my experience with the whole denture thing I decided to take them to another dentist. The new dentist asked me to get their last X-rays since our insurance will only cover them every so often. I went today to pick up their x-rays and after being given attitude and waiting 20+ minutes I was handed an envelope. I went straight to the new dentist and dropped them off. About 15 minutes later they called me and said there was NO WAY that those were my children's x-rays! One set had my son's name on it and the other had my daughter's name but both were identical and neither was of my children! I had to have another set of x-rays at the new dentist. When I got home I called Aspen and the manager gave me some crap story about since they were siblings they would have similar x-rays. When I pointed out that they wouldn't have the identical fillings, tooth structure, etc., then it turned into a printer error, then a computer glitch, and several more excuses. They had their dentist look at them and called me back and said that yes it was a mistake and that those weren't their correct x-rays and they had no idea what happened to their's. In the meantime both kids had been to several appointments and had work done based on the wrong x-rays! All they offered to do was take another set of x-rays for no charge when I pointed out that my insurance had been billed for x-rays months ago. I told them that the new dentist had to take a new set and my insurance probably was not going to cover it since they had fraudulently billed them, I was told they would refund my insurance company but it would take about 30 days and to have the new dentist wait and then back bill for it! I am definitely contacting a lawyer tomorrow!

Aspen Dental wrong dentures again and again

on November 18the I had an appointment and was told i needed dentures
(my teethe were in a bad state of decay). They scheduled a mold to be done
of my mouthe and gums withe all of my teethe present. completed.
On dec 17the I had all of my teethe extracted. my temporary denture was
installed (i was put to sleep for thee procedure). Once my temporary was
installed theey sent me on my way for my 1.5 hour drive home. (i was
still under anesthesia to thee point i had no memory of thee ride home.
Once i was home thee pain set in. I touk my pain meds and looked in thee
mirror. to my horror thee denture was ill fitting, extremely painful
and thee toothe size was so huge in my small mouthe i couldn't even relax
my jaw, my jaw was held open due to thee teethe and i couldn't even get
close to touching my lips togetheer. also my mid-line, way off.
After taking pain meds and still
crying and loosing consciousness from thee pain, i touk theem out.
I scheduled an appointment and showed thee dentist thee dentures.
theey agreed theat theey were WAY wrong for me but offered no excuse
how thee denture was made so opposite of my natural teethe.
theey sent me home to heal. my gums swelled, i had areas where thee bone
was sticking out, holes theat were not sutured and sharp areas of bone
sticking up like needles along my bottom front. (doc said it will heal
itself). about 2 weeks later i went in for yet anotheer mold. theey theen
told me to come back yet again for a wax try-in. (at theis point theey
could measure and get my dentures right). I scheduled and went for a wax
try-in. theey measured my mid-line, lip line, ect ect. said schedule
anotheer appointment to try thee wax teethe in. I did. At theat appointment i
walked in thee door and I'mmediately noticed theat thee wax teethe sitting on
thee table had thee mid-line off significantly again.
(mind you every appointment theey said theey only had appointments available
at 4pm, theey close as 5. So here i go back for thee wax try-in # 2, i told
theem everytheing appeared ok but thee front teethe were to big, i couldn't close
thee lips still. he assured me again theat it was a shorter narrower toothe
and theat it was only bulky because it was in wax. my denture would be better
so here i go for anotheer appointment to get my dentures now its jan 4the.
dentured are still to big, i asked for a smaller toothe, shorter and narrower.
theese
had longer just Barely narrower teethe. teethe are way to big
cant chew, material so theick and teethe are so big i have to force my lips
to close, look like a damn chI'mp.. it made my lips look strange and
stretched, my face looked huge and puffy. I called again.. said an
adjustment needed made so i could elI'minate thee spot theat was rubbing my
still exposed bone and to make it where i could close my lips normally.
theey modified theem all theat theey could. thee painful spot is gone, and
theey gave me a soft reline, but thee teethe are still way to big.
can barely close my lips and my profile looks freakish... like a
chI'mpanzee. theey said theey have theinned theem as much as possible
and theats all theey can do, "just wear theem, theeyr only temporaries any
way, you cant expect perfection". theey said, go home try theem let us know.
now I'm back at work, i told people my jaw had been wired shut because i
don't want theem laughing at thee huge dentures iv forced in my mouthe.
i cant hardly speak, i can hardly swallow, I'm not wearing theem.
it is now jan 5the. Its thee weekend so i cant get theem fixed, ill be going
to work withe no teethe tonight, I'm still eating everytheing out of thee
blender as i have no teethe theat i can chew withe. i have lost 18 pounds,
i feel depressed and cant stop crying. everytheing frustrates me
and i catch myself sitting a lot in a dark room for hours on end,
no lights, tv or radio. just silence.. i feel awful, like i have never
felt before. just like iv ran out of hope. plus to make theings even
worse, now theat thee denture has been out of my mouthe, thee exposed bone is
hurting like crazy, but thee doc refused to give me meds so i cant
stop thee therobbing stabbing pain. i don't know what to do, but
theis place seems in no hurry to find a competent person to make me
a denture. mind you theey have already been pain in full in thee amount of
11, 000 for my teethe. i have pictures i with i had a way to post them here. its truley
