Aspen Dental

I had read a few negative reviews but knew someone that had gone to Aspen Dental in Richmond In. and sang their praises. Now I am also. They were very friendly and professional. There was no pressure. They told me what I needed and let me choose what I wanted done. I can’t say anything negative.

I was surprised at how well they worked for me.
I had a really bad experience with my second dentist ever. I still believe he drilled 7 good teeth when I was young, as my next experience with a drill and teeth was almost pleasant in comparison. He was much later convicted of medicare and medicaid fraud, which didn’t surprise me. He was practically the only one in Richmond with two Porsche 900-​series cars in his lot.
In any case, I had let my teeth go for quite a while, but was obsessive about brushing. I could not bring myself to have teeth filled.
My mum and I made a deal before she died that I would have the teeth repaired and Aspen Dental had a plan to finance everything (GE Capital, currently) and, while I’m sure the company loves to make money, their prices were reasonable and their staff was comforting.
The first appointment was for the inspection, including the x-​ray exposures. The dentist was thorough, friendly, and made sure that I was okay throughout the procedure. Afterward, Becky explained the financing and set my further appointments based on the examination.
When I went for my first two fillings (yes, they double up where possible), I was greeted by a woman who looked and sounded like my Aunt Iona – my ditzy Aunt Iona – whom I wouldn’t trust to operate a stove. I mentioned that I was a bit surprised, but kept the rest to myself. We briefly talked and she proceeded to do the rest of the fillings, as that was her primary job at the place. (There were 4 dentists as I recall, but I don’t remember seeing the other two ever.)
Somewhere in the middle of all the appointments, they had scheduled a cleaning, which seemed odd timing.
In any case, they were very thorough with making sure the color and fit of the fillings worked well. Attention to detail was very important to them and I appreciated it.
It’s a year later, and everything is fine. Surprisingly, I have confidence about going back there. Hopefully, these were the first of my positive dental experiences.
Oh, and when it was all finished, I told the dentist about my ditzy Aunt Iona, and she laughed.
