I recently had to take myself and my children to Aspen dental as my insurance changed at work. I took my youngest son in on 02/01/12 to which they told me he had NO cavities however I am quite aware that he does in fact have 2. I'm sure they said that due to his age and not wanting to work on a child that young. Then on 02/21/12 my oldest son and myself went in for cleanings. 1st off I never had a cleaning done. 2ndly the dentist and hygienist both told me that my oldest son had 10 cavities that needed to be filled. When I asked if it was normal for 10 cavities to develop in less than 6 months she was speechless. Then I asked her to show me the cavities on the xrays that she had just taken and discovered these 10 cavities. She showed me one as if that was going to quiet me down. When I asked her about the other 9 she could not show me. SCAM they were just wanting more money. All she wanted to talk to me about was how I needed a new denture plate as mine does not fit properly in my mouth. I have had NO problems with my plate and its not in her mouth to know if it doesn't fit properly. Plus I was only there for a cleaning. I will NEVER subject myself or my children to that place.

I made an appointment with this same Aspen Dental in Bourbonnais, Illinois on 2/15/12 for an just an exam, mainly to check them out. I have a regular dentist. Upon arrival, I filled out a number of papers. Everyone seemed very pleasant and friendly. I was put through an xray that circled my head and then to another room where they did an oral exam of my teeth and gums. Next came the expert dentist. The conclusion was I needed all the fillings in my teeth, as I have many, to be removed and replaced as they were inferior. Then I needed 2 back teeth pulled as they were okay but useless to me. Also I needed four of my bottom teeth removed because they are loose and as they needed to scale under my gums for plaque, they would fall out. Then all the teeth left to be scaled for one side and the other. Next I needed a bridge built for those four teeth that had been removed. Next was the stop to the Finance Manager and their results. This would take about 3 months and $5, 000 which I could pay through Chase credit at 14.9% interest for 5 years. By the way, I am 71 years old and live on social security and work part time. I had to give them my social security number in the papers I filled out which would have given them my high credit score, this wouldn't have anything to do with this deal, "Would it?"
