Aspen Dental - Rapid City, SD

Had to get a filling done on a back molar, was super nervous due to fear of needles but when Dr.Shekari administered the local anesthetic I didn’t even feel the needle nor the anesthesia being injected. Procedure was handled efficiently by the Dr and the dental assistant Carol. Both the assistant and Dr made the procedure feel like a breeze, and managed to reassure me that they would take care of me through the entire process. Even when I came in 2024 for my wisdom tooth removal the oral surgeon Dr.Hayes and the assistant took amazing care of me, got me in and out in 20 mins. If you have dental anxiety I would suggest aspen dental. The staff is amazing from the receptionist, to the dental assistants, hygienists and even the doctor himself.

I feel like they over book their appointments or short staff. I waited in the waiting room for over a hour. Staff was nice and polite. After the checkup they asked me to wait again for scheduling and then was another 45 mins. I’m not going back to this place because of their schedules and cost of dental work.

I drove from WY to come here. Not knowing what to expect. Dr. Shekari was efficient, extremely knowledgeable, and had a great personality. The rest of the staff was amazing as well. Knowledgeable, quick to help, and never felt rushed with the tons of questions I had. The dentures I got fit perfectly. This is a testament to Dr. Shekari and his amazing staff. It was way faster than I expected. I am beyond pleased.

I talked with Erica about financing my dentures when I got my treatment plan. She helped me get financing. She told me with X amount down and X amount each month I would be financed through a third party. When I was ready to take care of my down payment she told me that this would only pay for part of my treatment plan and dentures and I would have reapply for the balance. This is not what we discussed. It took three days to get a call back from Erika. The only reason she finally took my call was because I got an email wanting to know how my experience was. I responded with the fact that I have called her for three days and never got to speak to her or get a call back. She is very dishonest and unprofessional.

This place was absolutely wonderful!! I was visiting from out of state and from the person I talked to on the phone to the ladies at the front desk to the hygienist and dentist, I was so impressed! The hygienist was so kind and caring and helpful. I went in for an oral infection with intense vertigo and I couldn’t be more grateful for all the kindness. They got me in within the hour. I highly recommend this office! Too bad I don’t live closer. Thank you all so much for your amazing service!

5 star, these guy are the best Dentist around, all 4 of my family members go here. The energy and vibe is so good from the time I walk in, to the time I leave. Walk out with a fresh feeling every time.

When I walked in I was kindly greeted by the clerk, who was very clear and kind on the instructions for a first time appointment. I signed everything and was called back shortly later, everyone who I came into contact too was very kind and made sure I understood what was going on, what the next step was, and what I can do. Definitely recommend!
