SYRACUSE, N.Y., Aug. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Aspen Dental is proud to announce that Laura Nijssen, DDS is the lead dentist at a new Aspen Dental office that opens in Fort Dodge, IA on Thursday, August 23. Located at 2953 5th Ave South, the practice will provide dental services that range from dentures and preventive care to general dentistry and restoration.

Dr. Nijssen received her DDS at the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry, where she participated in outreach and volunteer opportunities that exposed her to a diverse patient base, including an externship with the Indian Health Service.

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 location, dentists and staff provide:

Personalized treatment. Quick-fix solutions don't solve larger or chronic oral health problems. That's why Aspen Dental takes 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.
Wide range of flexible payment options. Cost shouldn't prevent patients from getting the dental care they deserve. That's why Aspen Dental offers fees that are below market average, special promotions and 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.
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.
Variety of options for denture patients. ComfiDents^® full and partial dentures come in eight styles, giving patients more options than are available at traditional dental practices. Regardless of the denture selected, each is custom-crafted, and the dentist works with every patient to ensure proper fit and comfort. As an added convenience, Aspen Dental has its own on-site denture laboratory, which helps facilitate quick turnaround for denture repairs, relines or adjustments. Free denture consultations are available for all denture patients.

To make an appointment, patients can call (866) 516-0372 or 800-ASPEN DENTAL (800-277-3633), or visit www.aspendental.com.
