    I had an emergency today with TMJ which is very painful but the Asheville office worked me in…read morebefore my appointment time and did all x-rays needed to eliminate any cavities. TMJ is very hard to address and it was explained in detail and I was given a referral to a TMJ Specialist and told to take over the counter pain relief which made since. It was explained what I needed with oral hygiene made a payment plan and thought I was treated very professionally by all personnel. I was in pain and treated with respect and caution not to make more problems.

    Horrbile and Brutal.The appointment 6/24 at Aspen Dental on Airport Rd. was an awful tramatic…read moreexperience. And I am still hurting badly 3 weeks later and now have TMJ. The DA assistant was so rough he pulled the jaw muscle that caused this. I am now on medication for that. To tell you all that went wrong would take too long. The dental tech got very frustrated.and mad after 40 minutes of grinding on the temp crown he made when I still said it was still not right. He cemented it in even though it was nowhere near rightly fitting. He ground the temp while glued in my mouth without water or suction. I had to go to Urgent Care because it became infected. So a course of antibiotics. The Dr said they way the crown was put in would certainly cause it to get infected. The new Dentist said it was the worst temp she had ever seen. I now have TMD from the trauma to my jaw that was caused by Aspen Dental. Months of PT. The damage done by Aspen Dental maybe permanent. They are the worst dentist I have even been to. And I am old! Please save yourself a lot of pain and greif and DO NOT GO TO ASPEN DENTAL.

    I just left this location and I wish I could give them 10 stars . This was by far the best dental…read moreexperience I have ever had! I live out of state and was having a dental emergency. I called multiple locations and no one would accept my insurance , but more importantly no one could get me in for an appointment today. As soon as Emily answered the phone at Asheville dental , I knew my luck was changing . She was so sweet and sympathetic. She made sure to explain everything to me including costs, since my insurance is no good in North Carolina and she got me in for an appointment in the afternoon. They sent me a text with all the information and a link to my paperwork so I could fill everything out before I arrived. I made sure to get there early and the offices are warm and welcoming. I gave my name in the front and they checked me in. I was called back right at my appointment time. I explained my situation and Makayla was patient and understanding. She checked my teeth and took an x-ray and made sure to verify the cost with me. Dr. Powell came in to examine me and he was absolutely wonderful. He explained the issue and provided me with lots of options . He answered all of my questions and I left feeling super hopeful and incredibly relieved. Thank you to Emily and Makayla and Dr. Powell! I hope you know what a difference you made in my life today.

    There are several issues with this place. I'll elaborate. This place talked with my mom for a while…read moreon the phone, and my mom repeatedly said I have no dental insurance in their talk of several minutes. I shortly after get a text message to bring in my insurance card. That's quite unprofessional to not make notes of someone, and just giving them a generic response, which wouldn't be the first time they are inattentive either. I addressed to the nurse and Dasher that I'm vegan, which is blatantly disregarded later on, as I'll get to that soon. Also, my mom thought the plants in there were real, but I knew they were fake, and even the nurse said they're fake. Real plants help with oxygen, creativity, and other benefits. Their plants are as fake as their care. Dasher doesn't know too much flouride harms the teeth, known as fluorosis, as there's even a word for it, and thinks just spitting out fluoride means it's safe, even though it does absorb into the mouth and skin, like plenty of other things. I'm not totally against flouride either. 98% of West Europe doesn't use fluoride, and they generally have far better teeth than here in infamous bad teeth, and generally awful health America. Denmark officially has the best teeth in the world, according to reports. Japan has far better teeth, especially with NASA giving them nano-hydroxyapatite, which Dasher says is inferior to flouride, even though peer-reviewed studies say it's the same strength or better for teeth. So, the education there is pretty bad. At least Japan, among other advances in health and intelligence over America, is very close to regrowing teeth with stem cells, probably by 2025, several reports say. It's blatantly better to have brand-new teeth than none or fillings. Even after those two issues, I still was willing to go back there. However, the issue with veganism occurs, and this is problematic for anyone with allergies, or any religion, which a dentist place could be used for. I'm prescribed antibiotics, which I really didn't want since loads of peer-reviewed studies of my Russian roots, American studies, and so forth point to garlic being a far better antibiotic than synthetic antibiotics, since it doesn't kill good bacteria, and doesn't build tolerance, unlike synthetic ones (which about 80% of synthetic ones go towards animal agriculture). My mom had her first son pick it up. We trusted this office to handle the appropriate antibiotics, which turned out to be in poor outcome of a half-ass dentist office. The pharmacy won't take back an unopened bag and unopened bottle of pills. I addressed my concerns to the office in two emails. One email was on July 28th, addressing fluorosis, and the other info of Denmark, and so forth. I provided loads of screenshots to validate my claims. It was actually a favor to them so they're aware. No thank you. No reply. No call. No text. August 1st, I email them about the prescription, and the severity of how it can impact people of allergies, religions, and vegans. No reply. I texted them, too. September 11th (wow, a day I witnessed the news of in Florida in my middle school days, and I was in a plane to NJ and back to Florida, seeing the towers only from above) they sent a letter without any reimbursement, without any apology, and says we cannot see you unless an emergency, along with other nonsense. I don't want them to harass me with letters. $6+ to send me a letter. They won't even send emails. Ironically, again, their email at the bottom of the silly letter. It takes them over a month to get back to me. You want to talk about incompetent, and narcissistic of an office. I will be leaving reviews with evidence on various parts of online. I let the oral surgeon he recommended know again like last time. Incompetent and uncaring office. It's good that this place isn't the only place around for dental in Arden/Asheville.

    Dentist offices.....if you are a good boy and girl....great places to get a little pick me up from…read morethe folks when they are proud of how you've taken care of your teeth, which I do most of the time, but that doesn't mean I don't need my several times a year cleaning as well as additional services (like crowns) when needed. They do all that and more! From the front desk to back rooms where all the tooth fairy-esk magic happens, these folks get it done and done in style. This location suits me just fine with modern décor, bright colors, and streaming music in rooms makes for a good experience. What makes the experience the best is the staff. My hygienist is Michelle and she is GREAT. Smiling and laughing...making sure my teeth are top notch....they say people make the business as she certainly does here. With photos of her kids on the wall...it makes you feel a little like family when you visit. The Dentist are top notch and are quick to answer any questions you may have along with suggestions you may not have thought of to ask when it comes to your teeth. Throw in the goodie bag they give you makes for a perfect experience every time. If you are looking for a dentist in town, give these folks a look-see.....you won't be disappointed!
