If you're looking for a simple cleaning and oral exam this is the place to go. All in the office are great, hygienists, and dentist. Always made me feel comfortable. However if you need major dental services like a bridge, tooth extraction, etc. this is not the place. I paid over 10k for work to be prepare and set a bridge. Slightly two years later the bridge cracked and the company they use has no warranty. They have audacity to call and leave a voice message that if I want to pay another 4.5k they will order and replace my bridge. Really on a 2 year cycle. I really hate to leave a negative as o have referred everyone I know here but until they change companies or offer guarantees on their products. Buyer beware

Regarding my previous review, I challenge Summit Dental, without being fraudulent, to tell us all…read morewhat was incorrect within my original review? I made an Appt with Dr. Millard (under my network).

For all potential customers--you now see how Summit Dental will deal with any problem that may arise -- they'll simply call you names and not accept responsibility for their errors. Personally, I'm done with this firm.

Ankeny Dental UNProfessionals,…read more After a regular dental cleaning, the hygienist normally schedules your next appointment in 6 months. Well, mine scheduled it earlier that 6 months so when I got my next cleaning I was sent a bill because Insurance would not pay due to the office's scheduling mistake. I called the office to explain their mistake in scheduling and I was told that I needed to know what my Benefits were and it was my responsibility. In time, I was told that this would go to "collections" and the office would not even split their mistake with me 50/50. Now I don't know about you but I trust that my dentist/hygienist will schedule me for a 6 month cleaning or if a mistake is made, that they own their mistake. (I have since found a new dentist and I explained this scenario to the new dentist and they said they would have "written it off" because of the mistake that was made). I prefer to go where staff are Professional...they now are my new dentists. The dentists are great but the BILLING dept and manager are very unprofessional. I feel sorry for anyone who has to deal with these staff members. Dr. Huston is and always will be a good friend but I think the Practices' choice for billing staff needs to be changed. Has anyone else had to deal with this billing staff? Post it here because I guarantee there are more of you out there. Adios UNprofessional Billing Staff

Now they have one day crowns for a permanent one which will be even better because they have their own new machine.

They wanted to jam all these visits into 4 visits! FOUR !! They quoted me at like 2500, and I took out a care credit loan (paid in full as of August 27th 2024) At my first visit (8/31/2023 they did the deep cleaning (1,337.00) My second visit 09/05/2024 they did half my mouth the meds for perio (1,318.00) Third visit 09/11/2024 (640.00)other half of my mouth with meds and temporary crowns for the two that needed done . They did this even though I told them I couldn't afford to pay for the permanent crown until into the new year. DID YOU KNOW temporary crowns are only supposed to stay in your mouth for two weeks? I had no idea . 4th visit 09/12/2024 (2,814.00) got 3 of my wisdom teeth removed. They did an xray after , and after I had been home for over an hour calls me and tells me I need to come back in because they found a WIRE in my gums from when the dentist put my temporary crown in on 09/11/2024. The oral surgeon removed it and said I had an infection and put some meds on it. ( that is when I should've started to raise hell but was was coming off of being under and didn't think to say anything ) they then sent me home and I proceeded to have the worst pain of my entire life . Like nobody can describe oral pain. I went back in mutiple times and the dentist would not listen to me . So I went to Altoona Smiles (Dr. Daniel's is amazing and I recommend him so much) He doesn't understand why they'd even put a temporary crown let alone two in my mouth when I said I couldn't afford the pertinent until the new year. So guess what I had to go ahead and pay for those temporary's to be redone by Altoona smiles and then two weeks following get my permanent's in. I am now a patient permanently with Altoona Smiles . I recently got a message from a debt collector for Aspen. Apparently my claims with them all denied and they had never called me to tell me . Altoona did after my first visit and my insurance company fixed the issue and reprocessed the claims . That is literally all they needed to do. Aspen didn't and now after talking with my dental insurance they will do everything in their power to get those claims from 2023 reprocessed . Moral of the story is Aspen Dental just thinks of you as cows going through the slaughter house. They truly do not care about you . Always check reviews, before making an appointment. Hopefully this review saves some people the pain and suffering . I now have major anxiety with dental care , but my dentist understands and knows how to handle with care . ASPEN DOES NOT HANDLE WITH CARE!

They said they would allow me to use it in 4 months in conjunction with a comprehensive exam, but they don't take my insurance so I would have to pay out of pocket.
