PLEASE READ, I wish I would have read reviews before scheduling my appointment. Several reviews…read moresay this place scams their customers and I can attest, firsthand, that this is true. I moved and needed to schedule an appointment for an exam/cleaning. This was the first dental office somewhat close that I could get into fairly quickly. They refused to do the cleaning at the exam because they had to assess what type of cleaning I needed. This already sounded a little odd but due to lack of appointment availability at other clinics, I decided to continue with the appointment. On 05/05/26, I had x-rays and an exam done. I asked to wait to talk to someone in a business office About my needed treatments. She told me I would need three more appointments, two were necessary to complete a deep cleaning and then a third appointment for a filling. For some reason none of these could be done on the same day, which also seemed odd. She then gave me the estimate sheet with what my dental insurance covered and what I needed to pay out of pocket. For the three upcoming appointments it would be approximately $350 out of pocket for me. This seemed absurd given the fact that I have never paid out-of-pocket for a dental cleaning. I was reluctant but scheduled the appointments because, well, I want a healthy smile. So I had to make a payment of over $200 just to schedule the appointments (a month before the first appointment was even scheduled). After leaving I told a couple friends I felt "taken" but I had already paid and didn't want to lose my money. A couple weeks later, I receive a bill for the initial exam for $56.10 for a panoramic x-ray. I called my dental insurance as x-rays are covered. They said I was not due for a panoramic x-ray as they are only covered every 5 years. I called Aspen dental and they blamed me, stating my previous provider must not have sent it, so how were they to know it wasn't due. On 06/09/2026 I went to my first cleaning appointment. They tried to collect the $56.10 from the panoramic x-ray but I told them that was being disputed so I would follow-up regarding that. I paid the remaining balance for the 2 cleaning appointments and the cavity filling (approximately $150). I had the first half of the cleaning appointment. On 06/16/26, I had the appointment for the second half of my cleaning. At this point they told me that I owed $56.10. from a previous appointment. I said I was still disputing the x-ray charge. They assured me the charge was related to last week's cleaning. I relayed that it wasn't, that I had the bill at home and I've talked with insurance. The charge was for a panoramic x-ray. They told me insurance paid for that (they didn't) but now, curiously, I owed the same exact amount from the cleaning the week prior for fluoride treatments. Then they told me I also needed to pay approximately $150 for the rest of cleaning. I relayed that I had paid this already. I went over all this with the business office. I paid the full amount already. They told me that my dental insurance refused to pay and that I need to pay approximately $150 plus the $56.10 in order to continue with the second half of my cleaning. I objected to this reiterating the full story. I was taken into a back business office room. She told me the mix up was all insurance's fault and that with 98% of dental insurances their quotes are correct but every once and a while this happens. I have Blue Cross Blue Shield Dental insurance, it's not a fly by night insurance company. I've had it for years and I've never had any issues with my previous dentist. I said I am absolutely not paying $500 out of pocket for what should be covered in full by my dental insurance. I called for a simple teeth cleaning and I'm out a lot of money that was supposed to cover a teeth cleaning and a cavity filling. They said unless I paid $150 more I couldn't continue with my cleaning. I refused. I asked for my money back for the second and third appointments as I now wished to cancel them. She told me there was no money to refund. I objected reminding her I had pre-paid for both appointments. She again she there was no money to refund as the used those payments to cover the appointment the week prior due to my dental insurance denying the claim. I told her I thought I was being scammed. All I came in for to begin with was a simple teeth cleaning. She said she would comp the $56.10 remaining balance charge. So, as it stands, I am out $350, my cleaning was never completed and the cavity was never filled. I have never had such a poor experience with any dental or health provider. I urge you never to use this dental clinic. They really are scam artists. I have filed an in-network provider dispute with my insurance and will be reporting it to the Better Business Bureau.
