      Aspen Dental is the WORST company I have ever dealt with in my 68 years on this planet.

      Aspen incorrectly charged my wife over $2,000 for work that was covered by her insurance and refuses to refund the money they incorrectly charged her for, even after 3 months of trying.

      Aspen's customer service representatives and district supervisors ROUTINELY make promises that they do not keep. If I had a dollar for every time I was told that I'd get a call back that same day and didn't, well, I'd have a lot of dollars.

      We were promised a refund in the amount of $1970 BY CHECK within 7 to 10 business days in early March. We have received nothing. Aspen routinely promises a reply the same day then never calls. Aspen also refuses to give out the phone number of an imposs0ble to reach district supervisor.

      I visited Aspen Dental in Indiana, PA for the first, and only time, on March 6, 2023. I thought it strange that I had to pay $101.60 upfront before any services were rendered and before any insurance claims were filed. The service was great, however, the billing has been an horrible experience. To my surprise, I received a bill for an additional $39 on April 12, 2023 for my March 6th visit. My insurance EOB stated that my portion for that visit should have only been $83. I contacted Aspen Dental in Indiana, PA to make them aware that the gingival irrigation, for which they had erroneously charged me $57.60 ($14.40/quadrant) upfront, was a fully covered procedure according to my insurance company. They said they would refile the claim. I received another bill on June 7 and June 12, 2023 for $39. So, I called Aspen Dental in Indiana again. They said they would refile and/or write it off. I heard nothing further from them. So, I thought the matter was settled. Then, I received a bill 8 months later on Feb. 22, 2024 in the amount of $70.80. They added $31.80 to the original $39 amount for a topical fluoride varnish which was already covered by my insurance in the previous billing. I called Aspen Dental billing headquarters, and was told that they were going to refile the claim and that I should disregard the bill. I received a bill on March 29, 2024 for the amount of $70.80 along with a notice that I'm at risk of being placed in collections. This has been VERY FRUSTRATING to me because Aspen Dental actually owes me $18.60 for the upfront overpayment on 3-6-23, and instead are threatening me with collections for $70.80. I called billing AGAIN only to be put on hold with the automated answering service.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and although no one contacted me from Aspen Dental, I called them to check on the status of my account. I was told that a billing adjustment had been made on April 12, 2024, and that I now have a credit on my account. Although the credit is not for the full amount owed, I am just glad to put this whole ordeal behind me! I have it in writing from Aspen Dental that this claim has been closed, and am awaiting a refund to be credited to my original form of payment. Thank you, Better Business Bureau for your help in this matter!

Back and send me a bill for 400 and some dollars for the service i already laid for at 189.60 ..they anf i.mutually agreed and i.lromptly.paid.the 189.60 and.now they wanna defraud.me.off adfitional.money..the same.service.cost.my wife nothing at the dentist she got into as our insurance covered it, i paid the 189.60 becsuse it was hard to get an appointment because of the pandemic this business needs investigated and charges filed for. Fraud.. i would. Ot of had the procedure done for more then i agreed to pay.. ow their saying the insurance didnt pay as much. As they thought, well they looked it up and bartered with me and came to an agreement after seeing what the insurance would pay, so thats not an excuse to scam me out of additional money. I want the bill corrected to the 12.and some. Odd cents i owe for my sons filling.. after what the insurance paid.. oh and they even tried yo entice. Me to pay the fraudulent bill by saying theyd give me a 100 discount for the service i already paid for.

      Dental Treatment started 1/10/2023. Total charges were$5,699. and my portion was to be$2,685. Aspen identifies me by my phone number 412 606 3102.

      My issue has to do with billing. Approximately a year ago I received a statement for services that were covered on the predetermination. I took the statement to the office and the said they would investigate this issue. This is the last I heard until I got a call from a collections company. I never received any statements showing this was outstanding, Since no contact from Aspen I thought this was resolved. I contacted my insurance company And since payment was indicated on the pre determination they want me to file a Appeal which I will do. Contacting the business office of Aspen has been useless. They refuse to recall my account from collections.
      I went on line to Aspen management express my concern and I was asked to provide a credit card for a $5 payment to proceed ******* * ******* ******************** **********

      Below are notes I kept
      * went to the Aspen on 3/27/23, had a treatment done, we don’t have a copay, I paid $68 for treatment
      * got a bill on 5/1/23 stating that the treatments were $68 but the insurance covered everything but $48(looks like they owe me $20) I have the bank statement that says i paid $68 3/27/23
      * I called multiple times during that week & always got a busy line, i went to the office & told them what was going on & they said their system had been down & to call or come back later
      * i called a week later & the line was busy again, I let it go for a while
      * I got a text message from aspen on 9/27/23 saying that i needed to call them to changed my appointment for fall 2023, I called & rescheduled, also said i wanted to talk to someone about this bill, the girl put me on hold & said she would go get the right person, 5-10 mins later she came back & said that the person was in a meeting & would call me back, she took my info
      * no one called back as of 9/28/23
      * no one has called me back as of 10/17/2023

      Full upper was pulled for a full dental implant. The problem is the amount of tooth debris with spurs left behind that the is unhealing gum due to tissue trying to heal over the leftover theeth and spurs. The Lafayette clinic told me the the above problem was normal. I sought another dentist that disagreed with their assessment.

      Aspen dental took me on as a patient to help with my dental work. I chose them because they got me in the quickest. Once I was evaluated and told what I had to get done, they kept scheduling my appointments and not telling me when they were. Or I would schedule my own and they would call me and say the doctor was sick or he was in an emergency. They were to fix my breaking teeth, fit me for dentures and extract what I needed out. They did some fillings and my crown. 2 fillings came out and my crown is now deteriorated. After I was fitted for my lower partial, I was excited. I was on the verge to having a full set of teeth! When I received my partial, I wore it for literally a day and it broke my good tooth. They don't have an answer for me as to why my teeth keep breaking. When I reached out about the partial breaking my tooth, they told me that was unusual. They then proceeded to do the same as usual, schedule without me knowing, canceling. I applied for a line of credit with Aspen through Fortiva. I was making payments, but when Aspen wasn't doing their due diligence and doing the work they were supposed to, I called fortiva and asked what I could do. And then the back and forth between these two businesses started. Neither could help me. Fortiva sent my account to collections because it wasn't paid off in time. I settled the balance with omnipoint. I still had $2102 left in my line of credit. Fortiva won't give me any information as they 'dont have my file anymore'. I am seriously stuck between a rock and hard place. I now have to pay out of pocket for the rework Aspen had screwed up. I have attached documents of Aspen detailed bill and my paid letter from omnipoint.

      I have been dealing with the business itself for awhile now without resolution. I don't feel the independent owner will satisfy my complaint. I think they will just give me the run around again. They can never give me answers. They don't look into why my teeth keep breaking. If they keep breaking, then what is the point of keeping them in and going back over and over again to repair them. Especially when the fillings break as well. I have asked for them to just pull them all out and give me dentures. They say they can only do that if I have periodontal disease. Something is wrong with them. they say my dental does not pay for that. But it will pay 80% of the surgery. It covers anesthesia and IV sedation for up to an hour. I doubt it will take that long to do the procedure, especially if I am out cold.

      From the delivery I told them that the dentures didn't fit. The dentures didn't match up with my permanent teeth when I would bite down. The Dentist continued to tell me the dentures were fine over several visits, and no resolution was offered.
      Finally today i had enough. He refused to consider that these were wrong, and I left the office.
      I went before the office manager, and the dentist followed me out, and kept talking over me when I attempted to talk to the manger. I asked multiple times for him to leave, and he doubled down and continued talking over me. The manager sat there and allowed him to behave this way.

      I paid for my dentures in cash at the beginning of the year and had my immediate put-in. The plan was for me to return in January to receive my dentures. We had discussed this, and I had the same schedule done for my uppers so that my insurance would replenish. (office staff turned around)

      However, when I went to the office, they said I owed $1300 because they had issued a refund check. But I never received the refund check. I tried to contact them, but they gave me the runaround and could not confirm whether the check was cashed or not.
      I have no teeth they are holding my dentures hostage.
      This is crazy. All they need to do is confirm the check hasn't been cashed
      Please elevate this email to a person with the ability to confirm the check hasn't been cashed and stop the payment
      I need my property. This is so humiliating
      I can't believe they would send me home like this
      all I need is my teeth. No one in corporate or the Medford MA delta dental office can figure out how to contact to verify the check was never cashed.

      Aspen dental of Sun City lied to me to get me to buy partials . I have a metal allergy and several people in the office told me they would have no metal . After I paid and have teeth removed they brought me out partials that do not fit and have two huge metal hooks on each one . They also left a tooth exposed that was under my other teeth fully covered before extractions . I can’t wear my partials after several re alignments . Even worse I over paid by 700.00 and they will not refund the money that is not used sitting in my account .
