Aspen Dental Expands Access to Dental Care in Travelers Rest

Aspen Dental has recently opened a new facility at 569 Roe Center Ct., Suite 100, in Travelers Rest, designed to meet the rising demand for dental services in the region. This latest addition aims to provide residents with comprehensive dental care options that include preventive treatments, emergency dentistry, and cosmetic services. Under the guidance of Dr. Jebediah Christy, the practice owner, and Dr. Trevor Haas, the managing clinical director, the office is positioned to serve as a reliable healthcare resource for the local community.

Meeting Growing Needs of the Community

Travelers Rest is experiencing significant population growth, increasing from around 4,570 residents in 2010 to approximately 7,788 by 2020. According to official census data, this represents a remarkable 70 percent increase. Furthermore, neighboring Greenville County stands as the most populous area in South Carolina, with an estimated 583,100 residents.

The swift expansion of the community has revealed a critical need for dental services, a resource that has not fully kept pace with population growth. In South Carolina, there are approximately 52 dentists for every 100,000 residents. Alarmingly, more than a third of adults in the state have not visited a dentist in the last year, highlighting a concerning gap in dental healthcare accessibility.

Addressing Dental Accessibility

Dr. Arwinder Judge, chief clinical officer at Aspen Dental, emphasized the importance of local access to dental care. “Access to dental care starts with proximity,” he stated. “In growing communities like Travelers Rest, that access hasn't always kept pace with population growth.” By launching this new office, Aspen Dental aims to alleviate travel time for patients, allowing them to receive critical preventive and restorative care to prevent minor issues from escalating into more serious problems.

Aspen Dental’s commitment extends beyond mere patient volume; it focuses on providing excellent care efficiently. Dr. Christy shared, “Travelers Rest is a community where people want a dental provider they can get to know and trust.” He stressed their mission to ensure that first visits are understandable, affordable, and straightforward to schedule.

Comprehensive Service Offerings

The new office will offer a wide array of services designed to meet the diverse needs of its patients. Services include:

• - Preventive Care: Routine check-ups and cleanings to maintain oral health.
• - Emergency Dentistry: Same-day appointments for urgent dental issues.
• - Restorative Treatments: Including dentures, implants, crowns, and bridges.
• - Orthodontics: Including Motto™ Clear Aligners for those seeking cosmetic enhancements.

Additionally, the facility will have walk-in availability and offer clear cost estimates upfront, making dental care more transparent and less intimidating.

Flexible Appointment Scheduling

Patients will find the current office hours accommodating, including a late close on Mondays at 6 PM, thereby offering flexibility for working individuals and families. New patients can conveniently schedule appointments online, by phone, or even as walk-ins.

Aspen Dental practices are known for accepting most major insurance plans, alongside offering flexible financing options to ensure patients can receive the care they need without financial strain.

Commitment to Community Health

Aspen Dental forms a crucial part of The Aspen Group (TAG), which focuses on dismantling barriers to dental care and prioritizing the health of the community. With nearly 1,100 offices across the United States, Aspen Dental practices are dedicated to delivering accessible and affordable dental options while also being involved in community service initiatives.
