My best friend is fighting with them because they decided to screw her over after being guaranteed things were covered.

Was she satisfied with the work itself?

No personal experience but I have heard a lot of bad stories.

Its a for-profit medical service, they don't want to help you they want to make money. According to wiki "In June 2012, a PBS series entitled Dollars and Dentists produced by Frontline in partnership with the Center for Public Integrity described Aspen Dental's business model as one where dental services are advertised at steep discounts, but where patients were subsequently overcharged or given unnecessary treatments" so I wouldn't touch them with a ten foot pole

Positive as far as care goes, but they will push extras on you that you don't need.

I had a good experience with implants, but you need to know what you’re getting yourself into. It’s a big chain, and they make money on volume. You’re not going to get the same level of individual care.

Okay dental cleanings there, though my dentist prefers the word inexperienced for complex work.
