Aspen Dental Expands Dental Access in Selma, NC

Aspen Dental, a leading provider of dental care, has announced the grand opening of its new practice located at 240 Saint Mark Ave., Suite 101, in Selma, North Carolina. This new facility is set to provide residents of Johnston County with improved access to essential dental services, catering to the growing population in one of the fastest-expanding counties in the state.

A New Era of Local Dental Care

The new practice is spearheaded by Dr. Mohammad Spouh, an accomplished dentist with experience at Aspen Dental dating back to 2018. With a focus on comprehensive preventive, restorative, and emergency care, the new office aims to address the diverse dental needs of the local community. Services include same-day emergency dentistry, dentures, crowns, bridges, implants, and even clear aligners, all facilitated by modern technology that reduces the number of visits needed for dental procedures.

Dr. Spouh expressed his motivation for establishing a practice in Selma, saying, "New rooftops, new retail, and new neighbors are appearing along this corridor every year. Many still have to drive out of town for dental care. I want Selma patients to have the same rapid response and attention I offer in my other practices."

This new practice not only offers dental services but also fills a critical gap in the availability of healthcare providers in North Carolina, where 93 out of 100 counties are recognized as Dental Health Professional Shortage Areas. According to the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration, this scarcity has resulted in long waiting times, forcing patients to travel considerable distances for care.

Selma's Rapid Growth and Community Need

The town of Selma has seen significant growth, with population estimates climbing from 6,317 in 2020 to approximately 7,406 in recent years. This surge is mirrored in the broader Johnston County, which was identified as North Carolina's fastest-growing county between 2010 and 2020. The new Aspen Dental office strategically located at the busy intersection of Interstate 95 and U.S. 70 provides increased accessibility not just for Selma but also for residents in nearby Smithfield, Clayton, and Four Oaks.

Lori D'Anna, president of field operations at Aspen Dental, emphasized the importance of expanding local access to dental care: "When a doctor like Dr. Spouh opens a new location, our mission is to ensure everything from technology to staffing is ready, so he can concentrate on delivering outstanding patient care right from the beginning."

The local office is also equipped to accept a range of insurance plans, and provides flexible financing options, making dental care even more accessible for the Selma community.

How Patients Can Access Services

Aspen Dental is currently accepting new patients, with office hours designed for convenience. They are open on Mondays from 8 AM to 6 PM, Tuesday to Thursday from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, and Fridays from 7:30 AM to 2:30 PM. Patients can schedule appointments through their website, call the office, or even walk in directly.

This move to enhance dental access in Selma reflects Aspen Dental's commitment to breaking down barriers to oral health. With nearly 1,100 practices nationwide, Aspen Dental is focused on delivering affordable dental care solutions, underlining their goal to help patients prioritize their oral health.
