Syracuse, NY – Patients looking for a dentist in Des Moines, Iowa now have a new dental care provider option with the opening of a new Aspen Dental office this month. The new practice, which opens on September 29 on 3737 Merle Hay Road, will provide dental services that range from dentures and preventive care to general dentistry and restoration.

In addition to offering patients the choice of eight styles of Aspen Dental’s exclusive ComfiDents^® brand full and partial dentures, Aspen Dental will provide comprehensive exams, hygiene services, treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, extractions, fillings, oral surgery, whitening, and crown and bridge work. The office features digital radiography and offers advanced screening for oral cancer.

At this new Aspen Dental location, patients will enjoy:

• Personalized treatment. Quick-fix solutions don’t solve larger or chronic oral health problems. That’s why Aspen Dental takes a comprehensive approach to dental care. Following the initial exam and X-rays, each patient receives a customized treatment plan designed with long-term oral and overall health in mind.

• Wide range of flexible payment options. Cost shouldn’t prevent patients from getting the dental care they deserve. That’s why Aspen Dental offers fees that are below market average, special promotions and senior discounts, and free new-patient exams and X-rays for patients without dental insurance. Personalized, flexible payment plan options are available for patients who‘d like to finance their care. The practice works with all insurance providers and handles the paperwork, saving patients time and hassle.

• Convenient hours and location. The office will be open extended hours, including evenings and select Saturdays, so that patients can receive their care at a time that works best for their schedule. Walk-in and emergency patients are welcome.

• Variety of options for denture patients. ComfiDents^® full and partial dentures come in eight styles, giving patients more options than are available at traditional dental practices. Regardless of the denture selected, each is custom-crafted, and the dentist works with every patient to ensure proper fit and comfort. As an added convenience, Aspen Dental has its own on-site denture laboratory, which helps facilitate quick turnaround for denture repairs, relines or adjustments. Free denture consultations are available for all denture patients.

To make an appointment, patients can call 515-418-9848 or 800-ASPEN DENTAL (800-277-3633), or visit www.aspendental.com.

Pielock and his guest will serve as VIP Honorary Pit Crew Members for Reutimann’s No. 64 Aspen Dental team in Bristol.  Additionally, he will enjoy two tickets for the weekend’s races and covered travel expenses.

A lifelong Rusty Wallace fan, Pielock is excited to attend this year’s race at the legendary track.

“This is fantastic. My family and friends are all envious. I’ve been a big fan of NASCAR all my life,” said Pielock. “I’ve always wanted to go to Bristol since it’s such a unique venue, I really can’t wait to get there.”

Pielock has been a NASCAR fan for thirty years and has closely followed Wallace’s racing successes over the years. Pielock grew up watching his brother drive his Mustang at tracks throughout New England and is finally fulfilling his dream to watch a race at Bristol.

In the same competitive spirit as will be seen at the Bristol race, Pielock had to hold a lottery among friends to select who would be lucky enough to join him for this once in a lifetime experience. Pielock will be taking his hometown friend, Edward Visconti, along for the all-access trip provided by Aspen Dental and RWR.

“We both realize this is an opportunity of a lifetime,” said Pielock.

“I’m looking forward to meeting John at the race in Bristol,” said Wallace. “We’re looking forward to a strong finish to the season and are hoping to give John and our other fans a reason to celebrate.”

Aspen Dental will be the primary sponsor of RWR’s No. 64 car at Bristol, with Reutimann behind the wheel.  One of the largest and fastest growing networks of dental care providers in the U.S., Aspen Dental has featured racing legend, broadcaster, and team owner Rusty Wallace in television and print advertising.
