These include general dentistry like checkups, cleanings, and fillings, as well as specialized services. The clinic offers custom dentures crafted in on-site labs, dental implants for a permanent tooth loss solution, and teeth straightening with Motto® clear aligners. emergency dental care is a key focus, with the clinic accepting walk-ins and same-day appointments for urgent issues like tooth pain, cracks, or extractions. Aspen Dental aims to make dental care accessible and affordable. The clinic offers a savings plan, accepts most insurance, and provides financing options to help patients manage costs. The practice is known for treating patients who may not have a regular dentist or face financial barriers to care, and has been involved in charitable initiatives like the "Healthy Mouth Movement," which provides free dental services to U.S. veterans. The clinic's dentists, such as Dr. Dong Park, are supported by the broader Aspen Dental network, which offers a robust system for peer-to-peer collaboration, training, and professional development.
