Clean, modern office, smart dentists, excellent staff. Able to get an appt without waiting 3 months…read morelike others. Recommend.

I scheduled what I expected to be a routine dental cleaning, but the experience ended up being…read moreconfusing and frustrating. I spent about an hour at the appointment and ultimately left without receiving any cleaning at all. After the initial exam, I was told I would need a deep cleaning instead of a standard cleaning, and that I needed to schedule a different day. When I asked if I could just proceed with a basic cleaning as I had waited a few weeks for this appointment, I was told they could do one if I "signed a waiver", after agreeing to this she changed her mind and said she "ethically" couldn't do a basic cleaning on me. To give more context, I am in early stages of perio as most people are when they age. I have no bone loss, and the majority of my "pockets" are in the 2s and 3s with some molars in the 4s and 5s. I am not categorized as someone that desperately needs dental work by far. I've had four cavities my entire life, and was told I had none at this appointment as well. I can't help but think this was somehow a money grab. The staff member was polite and professional throughout, but to be told that without agreeing to a much more expensive treatment, I wouldn't receive any cleaning at all was so strange. I wound up later being quoted about $1500 for the cleaning she said I needed. I understand wanting to provide appropriate care, but I would have appreciated clearer communication ahead of time and more flexibility in options as not everyone has dental insurance or $1500 laying around for basic dental care. I also want to mention that I was surprised to learn this clinic is part of a larger corporate group. It presents itself like a local, standalone practice, so I didn't realize the connection until the day before my appointment when they called to say I had been to one of their other locations previously and therefore didn't qualify for the new patient pricing. That part was fine, but it felt misleading since the other clinic has a completely different name and is in another city. I had no idea the two were connected--especially since I hadn't had a great experience at that prior location--so that added to the overall frustration.

I filled out a form online for a (long overdue) appointment at Stillwater Family Dental as a first…read moretime client. A very friendly receptionist called me the next morning and I was given an appointment the following day. Their schedule is very flexible and I am grateful they were able to see me so quickly. I went in for a routine exam/cleaning and found I had two cavities. They were able to get them filled in that appointment and took scans for retainers so my teeth don't shift (sorry, mom, the dog ate mine from grade school). All in the same appointment! Every staff member I interacted with was warm and pleasant. Special shout out to Paige for her exceptional care and consideration. She was sure to explain everything that was happening or going to happen throughout the entire appointment. Truly a top notch dental assistant! Dr. Christoper Coulter was wonderful as well and made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process and took special measures to ensure maximum comfort and satisfaction during a dreaded process. Monika was the dental hygienist that cleaned my teeth and she also took special measures to ensure I understood what she was looking for and how the process was going to work. Overall, no one really enjoys going to the dentist, but this place is top notch. By far the best dental clinic I have ever been to. They have set a very high bar for standard of care from the receptionists to the doctors everyone was outstanding. 10/10!

Not a fan of Dr. Carlson. She was not very helpful when I came in for a problem I was having with…read morethe corners of my mouth. She acted like she didn't have time for me, even though I had an appointment. There have been a couple of very unfriendly people at the front desk who act like they hate life and their jobs. Also, we have tranferred to another dentist after several years with this office, due to them telling us we could not make any more appointments because I had to reschedule a few due to school obligations, even though we gave notice. It's our fault we had to cancel, but their hours are limited and not very compatible with school or work hours.

EXCELLENT TEAM at Aspen Dental - Stillwater. I can not say…read moreenough great things about the people at Aspen Dental. After procrastinating forever, I arrived with significant dental challenges. Dr. Safo and her team, of McKayla, Megan, Brittany, Alecia and Dillon, were very welcoming and extremely helpful. A specific plan was offered and I was pleased with the affordable way my needs were met. Dr. Alex, from the Tulsa offices, was a another significant asset to solving my dental challenges. I have already recommended two family members and a number of friends to this office. Anyone reading this review should seriously give them opportunity to serve you, as well. Thank you Aspen Dental!

Poor communication and processes. Multiple times I have shown up to my scheduled appointment date…read moreand been told the appointment was moved or needed to be rescheduled. They didn't contact me, I took time off work and drove to the appointment only to be turned away because their hygienist went home sick hours prior. Never got a call or message with this information and now I'm getting notifications to reschedule the appointment I didn't show up to. I had requested multiple times to note "no fluoride treatment" on my chart as my insurance doesn't cover it and every single time for a cleaning they tried to gather payment for the treatment I declined. They need better processes and communication tools vs putting the frustration on the patient. I have transferred my care due to the continuous issues with this office.

I called Screw company. They said the screw WAS guaranteed and they'd send a new one to Carlson or my new dentist (we had moved miles away). Dentist had to fill out damaged screw form. 5. Called Carlson and said great news: "Screw is guaranteed". They said they wouldn't fill out paperwork for screw to be replaced. Unless I paid them and I'd still have to pay for the screw! Even though it was going to be replaced for free. 6. New work to fix broken screw: $3000. 7. $9000 total for this implant. Carlson does not stand behind their products or the dentist's work done at their clinic. STAY AWAY!!! GO TO A DENTIST THAT GUARANTEES THEIR IMPLANTS!
