Patients complain about chain of dental clinics in Missouri and Kansas

Patients at Aspen Dental clinics in Missouri have reported negative experiences, including unnecessary tooth extractions and ill-fitting dentures. The corporation has faced legal action in multiple states over deceptive practices and misleading advertisements. Complaints have been filed with the Kansas and Missouri attorneys general, with some patients alleging malpractice and ongoing health issues. Dental experts suggest that corporate protocols may influence patient care decisions at large dental chains like Aspen Dental. One patient, Staci Shroyer, regrets her decision to seek treatment at Aspen Dental after experiencing pain and ill-fitting dentures, leading to financial difficulties.
