I am brand new to State College and over the weekend started to have terrible tooth pain. I called Aspen Dental on Monday evening and they got me in for an emergency appointment the next day. The staff were kind and caring. They handled my dental insurance seamlessly and gave me a referral to a local endodontist. I will definitely come back for my routine cleanings and check ups.

The competency of the hygienist and dentist was very good. The checkout was fast and they work well with my insurance carrier. Very comfortable setting. I'm a solid, satisfied customer.

Very gentle and yet casual. There is someone at every turn to help you with any questions or need you may have. I have never had to wait more than five minutes later than my appointment time either. Excellent pricing/packaging program to accommodate those without dental insurance. Terrific experiences all around.

The staff, while you are there, are very nice. However, Aspen Dental has been nothing but a pain in my tooth since I tried to become a patient. After getting all the new patient stuff done, they would not schedule me for a cleaning until they verified my insurance. Fine. Its been 2 months and I still haven't received a call. I can't set up an account online because I don't know my account number, but if I'm trying to set up an account why would I already have an account number?! I'm giving up and going back to my old dentist and will PAY MORE just to get the service and professionalism I would hope to get. Aspen Dental is a joke.

I went in here for a new patient exam a few months ago, and I have nothing but kind words for the staff who made me feel comfortable and were quite professional in taking all the usual x-rays. The dentist was another matter altogether. The x-rays showed that I had an impacted upper wisdom tooth. The dentist took one look at the x-rays and proclaimed confidently that the situation was beyond all salvage and I needed to get three teeth extracted immediately (the wisdom tooth, the neighboring molar it had impacted on, and the corresponding lower tooth which would have nothing to bite against). Had I acquiesced, that's exactly what would have happened. I insisted on getting a second opinion from specialists and walked away. Boy, am I glad I did! Yes, the wisdom tooth had to go, but there was nothing wrong with the neighboring molar that a root canal could not fix, and with that in place, there was no reason to tamper with the lower teeth at all. In other words, I only needed one extraction, not three.

I can forgive a mistake, but I can't forgive the dentist's unprofessional refusal to even discuss the other options with me or refer me to a specialist. The recommendation to remove the undamaged lower molar was an especially egregious one. Even if the upper molar was beyond repair (which an endodontist has since said is expressly not true), what if I wanted to put in an implant in it's place to bite against the lower molar? Removing the lower molar would obviate all other options. She wouldn't even tell me what else could be done. All she wanted to do was pull three teeth out, without good cause. When I said I wanted to wait and consult other professionals, her reply was "Wait for what, infection?". I'm in my 20's, and I'll live with the consequences of such drastic and unnecessary actions for the next 60 years. I would have lost half the molar chewing surface on the right side. I can't trust someone who's so cavalier with my dental health.

I had radiation treatment for tongue cancer. I did not want any x-rays, nor receive any more x-rays except for life-threatening situations, as per the instructions from my radiation treatment doctor. Aspen Dental REFUSED to do an oral examination (routine) unless I had X-Rays. I informed them that I do not currently have any pain, no "issues" with my teeth, that I just need a routine check-up. They kept insisting on doing x-rays. Then when I agreed because I wanted the check-up, they still did not examine me. Aspen said that because I agreed to the x-rays but told them if there were any complications because of the x-rays they insisted on, I would pursue them for violating my desire no NOT have x-rays. So, either way then, no examination. I had the cancer center send them a letter stating that I should not receive any x-rays the next day via fax. I called them, and after having to wait 10 minutes for them to "confirm" they received the fax, they said that the dentist did not feel "comfortable" doing an examination. I told them I that I also did not want this particular dentist, Kranthi Rupanagunta, to do the examination. They said they will have a new dentist starting next week, and that they will talk to him and see if he is willing to do an examination. Gee, let me sit here on pins and needles awaiting his decision. This is not how to treat a customer or handle an issue with a person recovering from radiation treatment. I always thought the PATIENT can determine whether or not to receive additional radiation. Instead, apparently they think they can solely determine what is necessary for a routine dental exam. If I could give them zero stars, I would, but you need at least 1 in order to write a review. They talk out both sides of their mouth at the same time. Stay away.

I normally don't rate businesses, but unfortunately I was consistently let down.

I visited Aspen Dental twice. First for a cleaning, and then again to have two cavities filled. Both times I felt rushed, and it was all very impersonal. One technician even complained about another patient to me, which I felt was very unprofessional.

During my second visit to have the fillings(which i was nervous about as I haven't had much dental work in my life), the Doctor informed me halfway through that the cavities she thought were superficial were deeper than she anticipated. They would have to drill deeper. I couldn't truly understand what she said in the moment, and there was no other option but to continue as I was already numbed anyway and they had done initial drilling.
When they finished I was given no directives. I got up out of the chair and neither the Doctor or assistant really looked at me or talked to me. I was given no instructions about activities or foods to avoid (never had real dental work before).
After a week, one of the teeth is still very sensitive to hot and cold, and anything crunchy. I'll have to go back in to another office to have it checked, and worked on. I've never had tooth pain in my life. I'm just very disappointed, and in pain.

I was taken care of quickly. Another appointment was made the same day to help us out because of coming from a distance. And the extraction went VERY well. A Big Thank You to all the staff.

I was in rural PA out of town for work when I had a cracked molar turn into an emergency at 5:30pm. I figured I was screwed and would need to go to the emergency room or suffer overnight with excruciating pain and possible severe infection.

I found out Aspen was open until 7 and just walked into the office at 6:15. The staff was incredibly helpful, kind, professional, and accommodating. They were very upfront on procedures, costs, and what to expect every step of the way, from the x-ray, to the exam, to the eventual extraction of a molar the same day.

If I lived in this area permanently, they would have a lifetime customer.

I found the staff of this office to be very pleasant and competent. My appointment was on time, and they were very professional, yet friendly and concerned for my comfort and well-being. My procedure was painless and fairly quick considering what needed to be done. Each person who dealt with me explained what they were doing and why it needed to be done. This review comes from someone who always approaches a dental office nervously, but I was very satisfied with this visit.
