Aspen Dental Implants

Took my son in to a consult for (2) implants that he needed. We went to the Merritt Island, Fl Aspen office. Dr. Gillan was sure he would get the implants done beautifully for him. We went through the painful process of getting him "ready" for the implants to be put in. Once the implants were done it wasnt long before one of them fell out. We went back to the office and Dr. Gillan basically glued it back on and told us it should not happen again.

I was under the impression the implants were PERMAMANT fixtures. This should not have even happened once. Well here we are again and it fell out for a 2nd time. Called the Merritt Island office back to find out the Dr Gillan is no longer with Aspen. We were able to get him evaluated immediately at the Viera Aspen Dental office. However, upon examination we were told it would cost us another $2,544 to fix the issue. So I have already paid over $8,000 for the implants themselves and now you are wanting me to pay another $2,544 for your companies mistakes? I am disgusted by this. Aspen should stand by their work and the doctors they hire and correct this at no charge. How insane to as me to pay to fix something you were suppose to do correctly in the first place? Is this the reputation this company really wants to have? Not only did my son have to endure a very painful process for this procedure I do believe he is tramatized over it. Now he lives every day wondering when his teeth are going to fall out at any given time. Shame on this company.

Desired outcome: I would like for this company to do the right thing and fix my sons implants correctly so he does not have to worry about this moving forward. There should be NO cost to us associated with correcting this for him.

On Jan 24, 2022, I went to see a doctor at Aspen Clinic, 4307 13th Street, Saint Cloud, FL 34771. My chordal at the right upper side of my mouth was very sensitive and could not chew on that side. I need it a simple extraction. I was informed by Aspen that I needed an X-ray and oral exam. Once the exam was performed, they informed me that I had an infection...

Aspen Dental Misdiagnosis prolonged pain and suffering

On January 22nd I was seen at Aspen dental as an emergency walk in due to severe tooth pain. After some x-rays the dentist spent less than a minute with me telling me that I had a broken crown and fractured root canal resulting in an abscess.

He told me the tooth would need extracted and an implant placed. They quoted three procedures from a dental bridge and a removable plate to a complete implant. The cost of these ranged from $3, 000 to $8, 000.

Sent on my way, still in severe pain I had no recourse but to seek treatment with another dentist on January 24th. The next dentist took their own x-rays and discovered that there was not fracture, broken crown or root canal issue and the only issue was the abscess. This was confirmed by an endodontist on January 25th and I was given antibiotics and await a date to drain the abscess.

Aspen dental's misdiagnosis of a broken crown extended my pain and suffering as I had to wait for a second opinion. If I had followed their advice I would have undergone a very costly and unnecessary procedure and would be left with a dental prosthetic where one is not needed.

I am appalled by their business practices as in speaking with others it has become clear that Aspen has a track record of trying to sell expensive and unnecessary dental procedures and taking advantage of their patients.

I truly hope a class action lawsuit is filed. I will put my name boldly on the claim.

Hello, I believe 100% that Aspen used sales tactics on me sneaking additional charges in and no giving any information on my dental insurance coverage. Additionally, malpractice has been performed. I was overdiagnosed for gingivitis and they continued to tell me I needed to come in to do different procedures like scaling and root planing while my insurance...

I got dentures from Sanford Aspen Dental clinic and was unhappy from the beginning. The teeth size don't match, the dentures cut into my gums and I can only wear them for a very short time before getting blisters. I told the dentist I wanted my money back in 2021 and he said okay but he would like to try to make it right if I would let him. After another...

I received a consults from Aspen Dental in Sanford, Florida in July 2021 that I needed crowns on these two teeth, I explained that they did not hurt and that 6 months ago my previous dentist in Santa Fe, Texas had said that I was okay and could wait for a long while. Aspen said that it would be covered by Guardian and Delta my dental plans. I was told after...

Charged me $1200+ for cleaning. Filled two teeth, and one filling fell out after 30 days. I initially payed $600 up front. They billed insurance my max allowance of $1000 and invoiced me an additional $663. So, a total cost of $2263 for services. The cleaning took less than 20 minutes. They also tried to charge me $135 for a toothbrush. There are other vague charges on the invoice as well.

I went to Aspen Dental who said I qualified for "Finacial Aide"Aspen Dental pulled 2 of the wrong teeth and gave me partial dentures that don't fit and don't work.

I went to Aspen Dental in June2021 for a cleaning. They made up a list of things my teeth needed to have done. Partials we're on that list. I was told it would be simple to make partials for me so I could chew better. They started the partials a couple weeks later, after completion they did not fit right, they adjusted them 2 times while I was there. Then...

I started at the beginning of 2021 to have new dentures made. They did the x-rays and initial exam and said I needed a lower tooth pulled. I had been told previously that lower teeth were like gold and not to have them pulled but I was told it was not salvageable. I allowed the tooth to be pulled and they made temporary dentures for me. When I got home and...

I had an appointment with Aspen Dental in Bristol, Tn. for Jan.11, 2022 for 10.15 am and I waited until 2 o'clock in the afternoon and still had not been called in. They were taking everyone else in front of me that came after my appt. time and just letting me sit there and wait. I finally just left after driving 1 1/2 hrs to get there. Wasted trip. I would not recommend them to anyone. Thank You > Dave Alexander Jr.

Aspen Dental Overbilling - Did Not Receive Advertised Discount

I went to my local Aspen Dental office, in Mohegan Lake, New York on December 7, 2021. At that time, I was only looking for treatment for an infection, although I did need extensive dental work. I was told that I could get all of my treatment needs met within days; they took impressions for dentures that day. I came back the next day for a minor issue, and the extractions were done on the third day, December 9, 2021.

I have dental insurance, and after determining what the insurance was responsible for, my obligation totaled over $7, 000, which I paid in full before the extractions were done.

Since my treatment, I learned that I was supposed to receive a 20% discount or the insurance pricing, whichever is greater - according to what is/was on the Aspen Dental website. There were no qualifiers in order to receive the discount. Since I have insurance, I should have received the insurance pricing, which I did not. When I called the local office to inquire about the discount, I was told that they discounted my insurer... That is not what they advertised, and I want the discount that I did not receive, nor was I made aware of such discount.

I hope this can be resolved without legal action, which I plan to initiate if Aspen Dental does not honor their promise to new patients.

Please advise.

Aspen Dental Visalign liners service at Athens, Alabama office

Went to Athens Alabama office for consultation December 2019. Received Information and a promise to straighten teeth and close gap in front teeth. Started liners in January 2020. March 2020 the office was closed due to Covid. They opened back up fall 2020. Went back to office December 2020, because my bite was severely off and teeth was severely crooked. Pain and could not chew food properly, because my bite was off. They said they will fix the problem and order a new set of liners. I already paid over $4, 000.00 dollars for ligners that did not fix my teeth. They told me that they will call me when my liners come in. I called in January, February and March of 2021. Each time they had not received the ligners. They never once called me. I was in severe pain and my bite was getting worse. I went to another dentist to try to get some relief and fix my teeth. I had to pay over $4, 000.00 to get more ligners to repair my teeth. I am now getting treatment. I have not heard from Aspen Dental concerning my ligners. They did not do what they was supposed to do. They misled me and never called me back.

Desired outcome: I would like to join Class action lawsuit against Aspen Dental.
