NORFOLK, Va., July 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Appointments are now available at the first Aspen Dental-branded practice scheduled to open in Norfolk, Virginia at 1087 North Military Highway on Thurs., July 19. Three more practices are expected to open in the state later this year in Virginia Beach and Lynchburg.

Improving access to care in under-served communities is at the heart of Aspen Dental's mission. In Virginia, more than half of the cities and counties have been designated as dental health professional shortage areas by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

The new dental practice in Norfolk offers extended hours: Monday through Wednesday, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.; Thursday, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.; and Friday, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. as well as select Saturdays. Walk-in and emergency patients are welcome.

Mark Turkewitz, D.M.D., who received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Temple University, leads the new practice. Dr. Turkewitz and his team will provide dental services ranging from dentures and preventive care, to general dentistry and restoration.

In addition to affordable comprehensive dental care, the new Aspen Dental office brings:

Free new patient exams and X-rays to those without insurance;
An on-site denture lab to facilitate quick turnaround of custom-crafted dentures, repairs, relines or adjustments (on all dentures – not just those purchased at Aspen Dental), as well as a Denture Money Back Guarantee; and
A variety of financing options.
