Aspen Dental Practice Opening In San Antonio Increases Access To Care In Texas

SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Appointments are now available at the new Aspen Dental practice that opens in San Antonio, Texas (Stone Oak) on Thursday, February 11.

Located at 1803 North Loop 1604 East Building 2 Suite, the new practice is led by Dr. Shamik Shastri, who received his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree at University of California – San Francisco. Dr. Shastri and his team will provide dental services that range from dentures and preventive care to general dentistry and restoration.

The San Antonio office, located in Bexar County, is one of 22 Aspen Dental practices in Texas, a state where 150 of 254 counties, including Bexar 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's Whitman School of Management, each new Aspen Dental practice supports local community growth by contributing more than $1.3 million in positive economic impact through job creation and capital investment.

Aspen Dental practices offer patient-friendly programs and services that help thousands of people every day get the dental care they need, including:

• Personalized treatment and friendly service. Each patient receives 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 periodontal (gum) disease, extractions, fillings, oral surgery, whitening, and crown and bridge work.
• Affordable care. Aspen Dental practices are committed to keeping prices low so that patients can get the care they need. The practice works with all insurance providers and handles the paperwork, saving patients time and hassle, and offers free new-patient exams and X-rays for patients without dental insurance. And since no one likes an unexpected bill, the practice offers a clear, detailed estimate on the cost of treatment to give you peace of mind.
• On-site denture labs & a Denture Money Back Guarantee - Every Aspen Dental practice is equipped with an on-site denture laboratory, which helps facilitate quick turnaround for denture repairs, relines or adjustments. Patients choose Aspen Dental for the seven styles of full and partial dentures and have the comfort of knowing that the supportive dentists and staff 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 practice will refund the cost of the dentures when patients 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.
