Visited the Aspen Dental in Rome, NY this morning. I would have gone to my regular dentist, who is a personal friend but he was out-of town. I broke a bonding on a front tooth that I wanted to have fixed. I had a large gap in the front of my mouth and had an important presentation to do to a group of medical professionals the next day.
I explained I just had a full exam by my regular dentist, x-ray, and cleaning two weeks ago.
The office person (no Doctor/Dentist) said an exam could not be performed without having an x-ray on file. I explained I did not want to be exposed to unnecessary x-rays, had one done just two weeks ago, and didn't need an exam, just my bonding fixed. The answer was, "NO!"
I am a medical professional. There is NO reason needed to have a x-ray on file to do a dental exam. I did not need a dental exam, I needed a bonding fixed. The answer was "NO!"
If you are considering Aspen Dental for any reason, run as fast as you can to a real dental professional. These people are only interested in one thing... YOUR MONEY.
These offices are run by corporations. The so-called Dentist-healthcare provider did not say a word while I had this conversation with the office manager. He just looked down at his shoes. Poor guy, must be very desperate to pay his college loans to acquiesce to the bondage of this SCAM.
