I had an incredibly positive experience at Aspen Dental with Dr. Lee…read more As someone who's been anxious about dental work and the associated costs, I was deeply relieved by the compassionate and thorough care I received. Andrea, the Dental Hygienist, was very kind and thorough, explaining everything clearly. Anette, the Dental Assistant, was efficient and ensured everything was handled smoothly, and quickly (to avoid causing any additional pain) Chris was amazing--he patiently explained all my treatment options and went above and beyond to get me a quick referral for a painful root canal. I couldn't believe how swiftly and effectively he managed it, and I was seen and treated in less than 24 hours. Dr. Lee was incredibly uplifting and provided a hopeful perspective on my dental health. The entire team made a stressful situation much easier to handle with their kindness and expertise. I am genuinely grateful for their care and highly recommend Dr. Lee to anyone looking for a dental team that truly cares. If you have been scared to start the process of a smile restoration, or are nervous about the associated costs, I highly recommend you take this as your sign to see the team at Aspen Dental!

Buyer beware! I had a good experience in 2024 for dental work. In 2026, I scheduled a check-up and…read morecleaning. Wow, did they try to fleece me. I was put on the fast track for a deep cleaning. They wouldn't take care of the two fillings they claimed I needed, nor would they just do a traditional cleaning. I left in a huff. When I tried to have the extensive X-rays sent to my new dentist, I never heard from them, and no X-rays were forwarded. Turns out they never charged my insurance for the X-rays, but did charge for a periodic exam. Not what I had scheduled! My new dentist had to start from scratch. Without any input from me, she commented on the health of my gums! No need for a deep cleaning, and she found three cavities and one filling missing some silver.

I hesitated between a 4 and a 5 for this dentist but their friendly and professional staff, from…read morethe front desk to the dentist herself, makes anything less than a 5 impossible. My only complaint is the long wait and overall appointment. Every time I've been there, they seem to be running behind. To be fair, they're in a new building and seem to still be working out some kinks in this new place. The actual service and the very reasonable costs were great. I felt like the entire time, everyone I dealt with made an effort to explain what they were going to do or what was going to happen next. They're using the latest equipment that really helps you see what the dentist is seeing and understand what the treatment will be and why it's needed so you feel involved in the decision making and not like an unwilling but resigned participant. I was really worried about my dental appointments due to Covid but everyone I saw/interacted with, staff and patients, was masked and being really careful. Sanitizing was happening regularly and they've really created a space that's as safe as possible.

My wife and I have been going to this location for well over 10 years. About 4 years ago (+/-),…read morethe main dentist left. It happened right after a corporate takeover. Things have steadily gotten worse. Cleaning before last, the hygienist hurt me. After the cleaning, the dentist reviewed photos of work that she suggested be done. One photo showed a cut to my gum. It was plain as day. However, she covered for the hygienist and said it was a pixel flaw ... or something to that effect. I knew better. My wife's cleaning was terrible as well...terrible. Her hygienist hurt her too. And, it was a different hygienist! Though my last cleaning went very well with a different hygienist, they charged my wife a total of $109 for laser treatment (used to stop gum bleeding during the cleaning process). Not once has my wife ever been told that her gums bled (excessively) during cleaning. The front staff warn you at check in that if it's necessary, they'll use the treatment and that there is an additional charge. They're setting you up. We're never going back...

Horrible experience. We had a denture made for my two front teeth and the bottom tips of the teeth…read morecame back translucent. I told them I obviously wasn't happy. They agreed and said they would have another one made. A few days later I returned to pick up the "new one" and they were the exact same ones again, except for this time they painted the back of them and shaved off or grinded off the translucent parts on the bottom tips! When I tried them on they looked crooked and ridiculous. I told them I was not happy and that it's obviously the same ones from the first time around. They said too bad and that's the best they can do. I told them I wanted them to make another and they refused. I even offered to pay again and they still refused. They had me talk to the manager Andrew and he said that It was not the same ones and that nothing could be done for me. Then he said "if you're not happy with the result, you can go elsewhere". He was also being rude and condescending and calling us liars to our face when they were obviously the same denture. To top it off, they still charged me the copay and charged my insurance as well even though I left the denture there. My whole family has been going there for years and had great service before this. I will not be coming back and I don't recommend anyone should either. I will be contacting the ADA to tell them what happened. See for yourself at the before and after pics provided.

Going to the dentist is high on the "I hate it" scale along with buying a car, selling a house and…read morefiling taxes. But Dr. Dino Drummer and his team bring the quality treatment so that the process is less frustration and with fewer fallen tears. First order of business, this is a lively, cheerful and goofy bunch. That may be a turnoff to some. But the team keeps with professionalism while realizing that an A-plus business can be run with compassion, care and fun. Bedside manner - perfected! What I especially love about the team is that everyone comes from a place of patient advocacy and empowerment through information. Never in the history of medical and dental care have I come across a team that asked so many deliberate questions before beginning a service. The team wants to be quite clear about your dental history and needs before offering any suggestions and before beginning treatments. And the team goes over your chart quite thoroughly. But it is not in a paternalistic way. If you are already well attuned to something, or if you have tried something that didn't work, they are open to moving on. They even have an active Facebook page where they leave dental care tips and other information. Why is this HUGELY important? You can find a dentist most anywhere. But I appreciate that the team has not forgotten that they are working with human bodies and the full range of human emotion. They are patient, caring, attentive, curious and concerned. It is sometimes difficult to find this level of care in physicians and health/medical specialists -- especially at a place that is a bit more accessible and affordable than more elite/expensive offices. The team offers general services, like teeth cleaning, exams, X-ray, root canal therapy, extractions, wisdom tooth extraction and the production of mouth guards. The team also offers cosmetic and restorative dentistry, including dentures, crowns, whitening, fillings and Invisalign. Want a more peaceful and relaxed visit? The team also offers Nitrous Oxide. So, yes, I highly recommend this location and this team. And to the team: Thank you all!

I want to first say that I went to another dentist office and it was terrible, rude, different…read moredentist each time I went in and they would not provide the proper paperwork to get the insurance company to pay for them. I got frustrated after 6 months of trying to get through their process. THEN... I found Affordable dentures, which Dr. Geoff Wainwright is the owner of. Wow what a difference. Everything was unbelievably easy, so professional and he had a whole different and better set of options for me. Night and day folks... I always say there are Eagles and there are Ducks... this whole office from the receptionist, to the Doctor all Eagles. When I called for the appointment it was easy, I explained the problems I was having and they knew exactly what needed and set me up with an appointment the next day. When I arrived the staff is incredibly professional, knowledgable and friendly. The office is spotless, they did x-rays and explained my options. They also listened to my unique insurance situation and other issues and non were an issue to them. Everything that I needed was taken care of and I am simply amazed on Dr Wainwright's "chair side"manner. He is so personable and you just relax in a dentist's Office... what more do you want The next thing that impressed me was the price... they offer much better dentures than the other place but they were a lot less costly. Folks with that said, if you need dentures you have to go see these wonderful people at Affordable Dentures.

I Highly recommend this place! & will continue to come back! The BEST dentist in Tucson are here…read more The environment is amazing, everyone is happy to be there helping their clients; They do not wait around rescheduling you for days away, they listen to your concerns and listen to what you need. I had extreme pain when I came in and when I left I had two extractions THE SAME DAY! Exactly what I needed got my prescriptions in the afternoon wish I knew of this place earlier. All staff is generous kind and very clean.
