When I went into the Aspen Dental office a couple weeks ago they told me that since I am a new patient that they would give me a FREE examination. I liked the place, all the accou...

Find a real dentist, it's a rip off 4/6/2010

I wish I had looked online before I went to this office. Rotterdam, NY. I just left work drove like a mad woman because I was having dental pain to sit in a chair, and be told by a pipsqueak of a dentist that he can't see anything wrong with my tooth so he'll have to refer me to their specialist. They roped me into that horrible plan from care credit last year. You would think I had learned my lesson. I don't think they are real dentists. Every time you need something done you have to be referred to a specialist or come back. They find all kinds of ways to charge you for things you've never heard of in all the years going to a real dentist. That deep cleaning cost me over $600. Not to mention they told me that the IV anesthesia would be covered by my insurance for extractions and it wasn't. For the love of God people find a real dentist. Don't go to Aspen Dental. It's all a rip off. more

Aspen Dental is a shady place and so is Shawn!! 7/28/2009

I went to Aspen Dental a couple years ago for the cleaning and x-rays I had a coupon for. They would not allow me to get a regular cleaning I wanted and talked me into getting the deep cleaning which cost me over $1000. They put a lot of pressure on me when i told them no I just wanted a regular cleaning. I have never at any dentist previously been told I needed deep cleaning. Aspen Dental is full of crap and just wants to make $$$ and is not at all worried about their patients needs. Shawn who works at the Orange CT location is the one who just went and charged everything onto my care credit account without letting me know. He actually overcharged me $300 and I had to call and complain and get that $$ credited back. Don't go to Aspen, they suck!!!!! more

ACROSS THE BOARD 5/17/2009

The Sign READS: FREE X RAYS & EXAM for new patents. Better check your bill if you signed up for CARE CREDIT. I was charged $170.00 for the FREE Exam and X-Rays and when I called them on it, I was told it was the the patients responsibility to call the Aspen Dental 800 number and REQUEST a credit on their bill. more

A SCAM DENTAL 5/6/2009

I see a tread in all of these "DEEP CLEANINGS", because until today, I was unaware I had periodontal disease!\r \r I went to the Waterbury location, where I went for a simple cleaning. After waiting 25mins over what my appt originally was, I was sent to the back where the hygienist "measured" my teeth. According to this measurements I had periodontal disease which could be EASILY reversed with DEEP ROOT CLEANING! How about that!\r \r The dentist came over, who I saw for maybe 45 seconds total who said I don't have any cavities. He then asked to speak with the hygienist in the back room. After about 2 mins, she had me out of the chair to speak with the "office manager" about what I could do about the cost of this deep cleaning! Again I said, if anything I would just like the cleaning..PLEASE.\r \r I LOVE going to the dentist, but these people made me feel like the scum of the earth. Furthermore, they tried to make it seem like I had some urgent tooth rot situation I was not aware of!\r \r Thi more

service sucks 3/21/2008

service sucks!\r \r alright so called them in 3 weeks before hand, and then they left me a message on thursday asking me to confirm. so i called them back at around 6, and no noe answered. then on Friday, I called them back, and the lady said i have to reschedule. \r \r what the hell... then she started flipping out on me saying that no matter what you do, i can't help you, and you just have to reschedule, and "i can't tell you why dr. lee won't be here monday. "\r \r why do i need this appointment, well they said i had to get my teeth filled, and my dad was like whatever, just get it done, so they did lots of unnecesary drilling, and then filled it.\r \r after the filling of two teeth, they put the stupid crap in between the two teeth so it's like 1 big ass tooth that hurts even when i'm chewing gum, and i can't floss either. havn't been able to eat on the left side for 3 weeks now, and they just cancel my appointment, what the hell is wrong with this place?\r \r \r *should we sue or lets just p more

HORRIBLE! 3/10/2008

They convinced me to have a $5000 procudure that my insurance doesn't cover (although Aspen told me 3 times that they would!) so now I am paying $5000 and the work they did was horrible! more

Disappointed 1/29/2008

I am disappointed with the Farmington Aspen Dental office by the Sports Authority. I specifically scheduled an appointment for a cleaning. I go there and I wait over an hour only to have the dentist look in mouth and poke around with a dental instrument. I'm told to schedule another appointment for cleaning. Apparently the office does not do cleaning on the first visit. The receptionist failed to mention this when I called and specifically made an appointment for a cleaning. \r To top it off they push for unnecessary dental x-rays. I refused and the dentist actually remarked that he could not clean my teeth without them. I do understand the need for annual x-rays but this was just unreal. I've never had dental problems and had x-rays within the last year. It's not like I was going in for oral surgery or something. \r The staff is friendly but so what? It doesn't really mean much since they are lacking in experience and communication skills. \r Also I was set back by the type of set up. I more

Rip off 11/10/2007

My husband went to Aspen Dental because it was on the provider list. They told him he has periodontal disease and want to do work costing over $5000. He has never been told by any other dentist that he has this problem. I wish I would have read these review before I made this appointment. They really just want money from what I've read and my husband has seen. I am cancelling his second appointment. more

How can every patient have the same? 8/24/2007

I went to Aspen because my husband's insurance had them as participants. When I was seen 45 minutes after my appointment, they claim I needed deep cleaning as they called it. Said I needed to remove 2 wisdom teeth that were under my gums...although they were not bothering me. They wanted to pull out one of my other tooth which they said had a cavity that was so damaged it was hitting the nerve. Which that is why I get pain. Then they said I had some what of a gum disease. I was shocked, but scared. I asked how much would it be to fix everything. $4,000 and that was without the 2 wisdom teeth being extracted, because that was oral surgery. more

Do not go!!!!! 6/27/2007

I went to Aspen Dental thinking they are caring people, however they are NOT. It is true they only want your money+ more money+ even more money. I would rather have my dog do work on my teeth before I let Aspen Dental take care of me. I'm just sorry I never read these reviews before going. I most certainly would of NEVER called and made an appointment with them. I now owe money to the credit people they use and did not get all the work done that I needed. The work I did get done was horrible. They made a front partial for me and when I went to get it put in it was not straight. They{Dr. Lipton} thought it was the best thing since sliced bread. HELLO, can you see very well, my front teeth you made me we so not straight I could not believe he thought they were perfect... Please NEVER NEVER go there. more

What A Mistake!! 5/31/2007

I had just moved to CT and gotten a new job, I picked aspen dental because they were covered by my insurance. I went in to get an exam and schedule for a cleaning. I have never had a cavity in my life and never had any trouble with my gums. I had gone to a different dentist about 4 months earlier who told me I had no cavities and my teeth were fine. When I went in to aspen they told me I had 7 cavities and needed a periodontal cleaning because my gums were so bad, and that I also needed to have my wisdom teeth removed. Some of this was covered through my insurance but I still ended up paying over $1000 out of pocket. Even though I had gone to the other dentist, I didn't want to mess with my mouth, and I figured that if I had cavities that I should get them filled and that if i needed a "deep periodontal cleaning" that I should just do it. So, I got the 7 cavities filled and the "periodontal cleaning" (she didn't even pick the tarter out of my teeth). I went in to have my wis more

Unscrupulous Dental Practices 3/21/2007

They refilled every filling I've ever gotten in my entire mouth and I paid thousands out of pocket because I only had a discount dental plan or self pay. I was told all I needed at that point was a cleaning. Then I got insurance. They told me I couldn't get a regular cleaning and needed a periodontal cleaning, ka-ching. The regular cleaning would have cost me nothing. Periodontal would cost me $200. Then, one of the fillings fell out after a year. First they tried to tell me they never did that filling when I know they did - they left me with no teeth unrefilled. Then Dr. Lipton agreed and told me they would refill it - later Shawn (the money guy) told me there would be no charge so I requested an appt specifically with Dr. Lipton to get it refilled few weeks later. When I came back few weeks later to get it refilled I did not get Lipton. A different dentist Lee told me he had to take xrays because I might need a root canal and they refused to just refill the filling!!!!! I more

go elsewhere 3/30/2006

Not overly impressed with the staff. Very unprofessional. The doctors seemed knowledgable about certain issues, but Aspen seems to take your for granted and your entire wallet. more

Unsatisfactory! 2/14/2006

I went to Aspen Dental in Orange CT because it was one that I had picked out of my "provider" list from my dental insurance at work. Although it is great location,easy to get to and the hours of operation are convenient I will never go there again. I waited and waited (about 45 minuted after my appt. time). Once I saw the dentist who looked like he was fresh out of "dental" school he explained the work I would need on my teeth. Which was a total of about $5,000 not including what my dental would pay for. Mind you I went in for a check up. The reception sits you down to talk about payment plans!! I was still in shock and refused to sign any payment plans for the "work that needed to be done". \r I never went back to that dental group. I decided to go to one that was not on my "provider" list. Which I still use today. I felt like Aspen dental was out to get every $ possible from me and my insurance benefits. I would say they are expensive! I didnt like anything about my visit and they sp more
