ATLANTA, Nov. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- As dental health advocates work to remove barriers to dental care among underserved areas in Georgia, three new Aspen Dental-branded practices are scheduled to open in December – making access to dental care even easier for residents in Georgia.
Appointments are now available at the three practices which are scheduled to open on Dec. 7 in Acworth, Dec. 14 in Calhoun and Dec. 21 in Norcross. The offices will be open Monday through Wednesday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Thursday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.; and Friday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. as well as select Saturdays. Walk-in and emergency patients are welcome. Services at the offices will include general dentistry, dentures and denture repairs, preventive care, and restoration.
The new Acworth office is led by Dr. Kevin Bolden, who received his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from Meharry Medical College. Dr. Chalandria Guerrier, who also received her DDS degree from Meharry, will lead the Norcross practice. And Dr. Cale Jackson, who received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Georgia Regents University, will lead the Calhoun office.
The offices will bring needed access to affordable, quality dental care to these communities which are located in counties designated as dental health professional shortage areas by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
In addition to improved care access, the offices will provide economic benefits. According to a study by Syracuse University's Whitman School of Management, each new Aspen Dental practice supports local community growth by contributing nearly $1.3 million in positive economic impact through job creation and capital investment.
The new Aspen Dental offices offer patient-friendly programs and services to make it easier for patients to get the dental care they need, including:
- Personalized treatment and friendly service. Each patient will receive a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment plan designed by the dentist with long-term oral and overall health in mind. Available services include hygiene, treatment of gum disease, extractions, fillings, oral surgery, whitening, and crown and bridge work.
- Affordable dental care. Aspen Dental practices are committed to keeping prices fair so that patients can get the care they need. The three practices will work with insurance providers and handle the paperwork to save patients time and hassle, and offer free new-patient exams and X-rays to those who do not have insurance. The practices also offer clear, detailed estimates on the cost of treatment to give patients peace of mind as well as a variety of financing options.
- On-site denture lab and a Denture Money Back Guarantee. The practices are equipped with on-site denture laboratories, which help facilitate quick turnaround for denture repairs, relines or adjustments. The practices will offer several styles of full and partial dentures so patients can be reassured that the teams will go above and beyond to ensure proper fit and comfort of their custom-crafted dentures. Getting used to dentures takes some time, but if patients are dissatisfied with their dentures for any reason – the practices will refund the cost of the dentures when patients return them within 90 days. The practices repairs all dentures, not just those purchased at Aspen Dental.
