Aspen Dental Center

Let me start by saying that there’s almost nothing I fear worse than dentists and dental work. Unfortunately, while on vacation in Estes Park this week, I developed a dental abscess and needed some emergency care. That was the LAST thing I wanted or needed, but that’s life, right? Like a true adult, I cried a lot and called the dentist recommended to me by the hospital. That, of course, would be Dr. Pike! It was 8am on a Saturday when I called, but Dr. Pike returned my call very promptly and offered to meet me at his office at 9am.nnWith my blood pressure through the roof and my heart rate skyrocketing, I walked into the appointment... and Dr. Pike and his dental hygienist immediately worked to put me at ease. Neither seemed to mind that I cried for the entire duration of my visit, either! Dr. Pike took x-rays (and let me feel a little more in control of the situation by letting me help) and determined that I did indeed have an abscess that needed draining. He was honest but kind, telling me that I would need a root canal or an extraction sooner rather than later... but that we needed to take care of the infection first. That meant numbing me up and drilling into the tooth to release pressure.nnT E R R I F Y I N G.nnStill, as Dr. Pike promised, the actual dental work once I was numb took very little time, and before I knew it, we were done. Dr. Pike listened to and answered all of my questions with endless patience before sending me on my way, and quite honestly... he was so kind that I cried again, this time for a much better reason!nnI’m still afraid of dentists as a whole, but hear me, people: I would trust Dr. Pike to drill into my face any day of the week. I mean, I’d probably still cry while he did it, but he truly went above and beyond to make THIS experience a positive one, and I believe with all my heart that he’s just as kind and caring to every patient that walks through his doors!nnIf you’re an Estes Park local, go to Dr. Pike with your dental needs. You won’t regret it. Heck, it’s probably worth the drive from anywhere in Colorado if you’re a cry baby with dental anxiety like me!nnFive stars just isn’t enough.

I can't say enough about Dr. Pike! He and his staff are friendly and professional. Every time I went in I was greeted as I walked into a friends house.nI became a patient out of emergency tooth pain, with no insurance. I called Dr. Pike during the shut down and explained my situation, he has taken care of me since. My mouth was a mess, missing, broken and infected teeth. Dr. Pike didn't just fix my current issue and send me on my way, he offered to work with me and today I have no infections, no rotting or broken teeth and I can burn the flipper that I wore for 10 years (super glued together multiple times) because today Dr. Pike put in a beautiful bridge!nDr. Pike changed my life! I love to hike...but always knew thered be mouth pain after a certain altitude, I was embarrassed to ever eat in public (had to remove the flipper, flipper was horribly uncomfortable.nThe most important thing though is that in the scariest, craziest, year when it felt like everything went wrong.....Dr. Pike reminded me of the wonderful people who do exist. That people do care about and want to help others.nThank you from the depths of my soul Dr. Pike!nnWith Love,nRonda Warner

I worked as a park ranger last summer and had to have two emergency root canals. Dr. Pike and his staff were able to get me taken care of quickly and rather painlessly (even given the root canals). Dr. Pike and his staff were also very friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. I highly recommend Aspen Dental Center to any seasonal staff around Estes Park that need a friendly, informative, and professional dentist, especially in a pinch.

I recently had a dental emergency while on vacation in Estes Park. I called and left a message for him and he promptly got back in touch with me. I was in severe discomfort. He helped me out in short order and saved my vacation. There are not enough superlatives in my vocabulary to adequately cover my appreciation and thanks for his above and beyond approach to care. He would have my family’s business were we to live in the area. A good man, thank you!

My husband had a dental emergency while we were vacationing in Estes Park and the staff at Aspen Dental went out of the way to fit us in to be seen. Dr. Pike was very welcoming and helpful. He gave us some peace of mind so that we could enjoy the rest of our stay in Estes. One of the most welcoming dentist offices I’ve ever experienced- Thank you Aspen Dental team!!!
