Aspen Dental Opens First Dental Practice in Fairlawn, Ohio

Industry leader brings more smiles to Akron area with affordable, full-service denture and dental care.

Syracuse, NY (PRWEB) April 12, 2007 -- To enhance access to high quality and affordable denture and dental care for area residents with a convenient location, extended hours, on-site denture lab and interest-free payment programs, a new Aspen Dental full-service denture and dentistry office in Fairlawn is scheduled to open Thursday, April 19 at The Shops of Fairlawn, 3737 West Market Street. Aspen has another office in the Akron area at 3515 Hudson Drive in Stow.
   
Aspen offers eight models of its comfidents® brand, custom-crafted full and partial dentures, as well as teeth whitening, hygiene, fillings, crowns, bridges and oral surgery. The Fairlawn office's denture laboratory ensures same-day turnaround for new dentures, denture repairs, relines or adjustments.

Aspen Dental's newest office also features state-of-the-art digital radiography services to better diagnose, serve and treat Aspen patients. In addition, Aspen Dental offers Vizilite Plus®, a high-tech screening exam that detects oral cancer at its earliest stage.

Aspen Dental Management, Inc. President and CEO Robert Fontana said Aspen's growth, from 13 offices in 1998 to 106 (including Fairlawn), has been driven by the demand for high-quality, yet affordable dental and denture services. Aspen Dental locations offer access to quality care through convenient locations, extended hours, affordable fees and a variety of payment options. Aspen also works with all insurance providers.

"The goal of our affiliated dentists is to exceed patient expectations by providing the highest levels of dental and denture care possible while meeting needs of those patients for less costly, stressful and time-consuming services," Fontana said. "We're thrilled to bring access to high-quality and affordable dental and denture care to those who live and work in the Fairlawn and surrounding areas."

"Most importantly, we want to provide people with a dentist and staff they can trust, who listen to patients, understand their needs, and respect them," explains Dr. Bill Siemiaszko, Director of Clinical Services, Aspen Dental Management, Inc.
