Aspen Dental Opens New Practice In Ottumwa, IA

SYRACUSE, N.Y., May 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- A new Aspen Dental office is opening in Ottumwa, IA on Thursday, June 12. Located at 1255 Theatre Drive, the conveniently located practice will provide dental services that range from dentures and preventive care to general dentistry and restoration.

Dr. Nomuhle Dube, lead dentist at the Ottumwa office, received her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry in 2006. Dr. Dube looks forward to meeting the Ottumwa community and providing much needed access to high-quality dental care and education.

The Ottumwa practice, located in Wapello County, is one out of 16 Aspen Dental-branded locations in Iowa, a state where 65 out of 99 counties (including Wapello County) have dental health professional shortage areas as designated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

According to a study conducted in 2013 by Syracuse University'sWhitman School of Management, each new Aspen Dental-branded office supports local community growth by contributing more than $1.3 million in positive economic impact through job creation and capital investment.  The local community benefits through investment in office construction, furniture and fixtures; jobs created and wages and benefits paid; taxes; and investment in marketing and advertising.

In addition to offering patients the choice of seven styles of Aspen Dental's exclusive ComfiDents^® brand full and partial dentures, Aspen Dental will provide comprehensive exams, hygiene services, treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, extractions, fillings, oral surgery, whitening, and crown and bridge work. The office features digital radiography and offers advanced screening for oral cancer.

At this new Aspen Dental-branded practice, dentists and staff provide:

• Personalized treatment and friendly service. Quick-fix solutions don't solve larger or chronic oral health problems. That's why the caring dentists at Aspen Dental take a comprehensive approach to dental care. Following the initial exam and X-rays, each patient receives a customized treatment plan designed by the dentist with long-term oral and overall health in mind.
• Affordable care and flexible payment options. Cost shouldn't prevent patients from getting the dental care they deserve. That's why Aspen Dental offers special promotions, senior discounts, and free new-patient exams and X-rays for patients without dental insurance. The practice works with all insurance providers and handles the paperwork, saving patients time and hassle.
• Customization and a Money-Back Guarantee for denture patients. When you choose Aspen Dental for any of the seven styles of ComfiDents^® full and partial dentures, you have the peace of mind of knowing that the supportive dentists and staff will go above and beyond to ensure proper fit and comfort of your custom-crafted dentures.  As an added convenience, Aspen Dental has its own on-site denture laboratory, which helps facilitate quick turnaround for denture repairs, relines or adjustments. Getting used to your dentures takes some time, but if you're dissatisfied with your dentures for any reason – Aspen Dental will refund the cost of your dentures when you return them within 90 days.
• Convenient hours and location. The office will be open extended hours, including evenings and select Saturdays, so that patients can see the dentist at a time that works best for their schedule. Walk-in and emergency patients are welcome.

To make an appointment, patients can call (641) 954-3390 or 800-ASPEN DENTAL (800-277-3633), or visit www.aspendental.com.
