Finally found a dentist that I never feel nervous to go to. I had an amazing dentist growing up and had no dental anxiety until I moved away and had a number of really bad and uncomfortable experiences that suddenly made me really NOT want to go to the dentist. I decided it was time to try to find someone that made me feel as comfortable and relaxed as my childhood and dentist and that’s where Aurora Dental fits the shoe. I don’t care what work I am having done; I know they will be careful and gentle and mindful of my comfort and that is all I ask. Very happy to have found this place. I’ll not be going anywhere else and can finally have a regular dental care schedule again after all these years.

Cleanings were great! Our whole family, ages 6-39, are patients. Dr. Oxspring is awesome, great with kids. My 11 year old had two fillings done and he was calm and nearly pain free for the entire procedure. Staff is welcoming and friendly. Great office!

I have been to one dentist my entire life and they treated me so horrible. I just recently came to aurora dental for the first time a few weeks ago and they are the nicest, caring, easy going people. I adore their office and the staff that works here. They all always have a smile on their face and they actually talk to me and care about my teeth which is something I was NOT used too. They deserve 5 star ratings!

I’ve been Dr. Nick’s patient for about 8 years and he’s awesome! Very nice and personable. I would recommend him to anyone. I have also liked quite of few of the hygienists over the years. They’re always fast and efficient. They all make an excellent team! They also have Saturday appointments which are hard to come by at other medical offices.

Aurora Dental Care is, hands down, the best! Dr. Nick is the most wonderful dentist I’ve ever had. Over the past few years, I’ve had an array of work done on my teeth; Dr. Nick makes me feel comfortable and at ease about any procedure. His staff of hygienists are friendly and personable. The office is impeccably clean but with a warm atmosphere. The front desk staff is so nice and always tries to accommodate my schedule when making appointments. I cannot say enough good things about Aurora Dental. They are amazing!

Today was my first time at an adult dentist office office, and they did great! The staff was very nice and friendly. I will absolutely continue going back there! 😊 Cerise was my hypothesis and I loved her she was super nice and easy to talk to. She did an awesome job cleaning my teeth and making me smile! Thank you Aurora dental and Cerise for the great experience today.

Great staff. Dr Nick is a professional, conscientious and caring Dentist. He stays up with the latest technology and best practices. Great place to get your teeth fixed up. -Update 3/17. Dr Nick did a crown. and the the whole process was better than I expected. Great care and concern for his patients. He is quick and skilled, every move counts and he gets you out of the chair fast.

I’m 58 years old. I’ve had a lifetime of dental care. Most good to excellent!Today I had some rather extensive work done on a tooth and I can honestly say this is the first time I had ZERO pain.Due to 3 involved surgeries on my throat, I sometimes have complications with aspiration. Dr Nick and his assistant today, handled that like it was just business as usual.Perfection.My wife and I are grateful for the care we receive here.

Went to this great place for 10 years! Then they just purged all their medicaid patients. Very sad to say, they think theyre better than helping lower income patients. I wouldnt go back if they invited me, after 10 SOLID years of being a patient, I was told, basically, I was too poor for them to see.

Aurora Dental Care is awesome! About 3 years ago I made the switch over to Aurora, and have always had great experiences during all my appointments with them. Today was no exception. Not one, but two fillings needed to be redone and they were both PAINLESS, everyone was polite and had great attitudes. Dr. Oxspring did great, quality work and I was in and out in under 40 minutes. I also really appreciated that they did not use a rubber dam or dental raincoat when they did my fillings. It made it easier for them to see when I needed suction, so I never felt like I was drowning in my own spit. I highly recommend them to everyone who is unsatisfied with their current dentist.

The staff here is amazing. I’ve always had anxiety with even the cleanings when going to the dentist and they respect my feelings. They are very accommodating to help ease me and keep me aware of any unexpected change. Which helps and I don’t feel anxious when I go in now. They have a wonderful atmosphere and welcoming staff from the moment you arrive. Smiles and friendly from all, I’ve never had any issues in the years I’ve been a patient. They go above and beyond in my opinion with getting insurance coverages and out of pocket amounts worked so there are no surprises. I highly recommend them, I know I will not be going anywhere else. They are my dentist family ❤️

I love the experience of going to Aurora Dental. Always very professional and no elevator music. Today while getting my teeth cleaned I was able to watch birds feeding outside the window as well as Rocky the local squirrel feed on nuts that were left out for him. Dr Nick is very friendly and always has a great array of music playing in the background. It is always more than a dental visit. It’s an EXPERIENCE 👍🏼

We love Aurora Dental Care! My husband and I have been with Dr. Nick for 6 years now. He is such an easy-going, friendly, and skilled dentist. Every time I have questions about my teeth he kindly answers them all and has given me great advice. The wonderful care I’ve received has covered regular cleanings, to having cavities filled, getting a dental crown, and root canal, all of which went smoothly.I’ve had 3 different hygienists who have been gentle with my gums plus they are enjoyable people to be around.I just got my teeth cleaned today and am pleased with my experience once again. So happy we have a dentist and hygienists we trust in the Valley. :)

This office is absolutely amazing! Their patient care is undeniably the best ever. Dr. Nick’s Dental emergency service was amazing. This emergency lead me and my four kiddos to start regular dental services with Aurora Dental Care. The hygienists are wonderful, friendly, and ensure the kiddos feel comfortable while receiving services.I would recommend this dental office to anyone! Go if you want a warm, friendly and inviting atmosphere with caring staff.

I switched Dentist offices near the end of 2019 and I couldnt be happier. I absolutely love the staff at Aurora Dental. They are very friendly, professional, and are able to get me on the schedule in a timely manner. Also a huge bonus that they are open on Saturdays. I had just recently finished my Invisalign this summer and they exceeded my expectations. I could not say enough good things about this place!

Women in the office are always on top of paperwork and what I will owe. Love my hygienist Cerise. She does an amazing job keeping tarter off my teeth in addition to her great personality. Never lectures me😊 Dr. Nick is pretty great too. I followed him over from another location because it can be hard to find a dentist you like who also doesnt inflict pain with those numbing shots.

Dr. Nick is AWESOME! Ive never been a patient at a dental office that I actually looked forward to having appointments with - until now. I appreciate being included in my treatment decisions, Aurora dental provides their patients with treatment options, and up front treatment costs, so you know pretty close to what your insurance will cover, and what you will pay out of pocket. Knowing which procedures are imperative, and how much it was going to cost has been very beneficial to my budgeting!

I can honestly, without a doubt, state that in my 50-something years I have never had a better experience than at Aurora Dental and with Dr Nick. Hands down the best staff, treatment, atmosphere. From the minute you walk in you feel valued, welcomed and like a long lost friend. Dr Nick is so down to earth and very easy to talk to. He explains everything in layman’s terms, takes his time and will answer your questions and concerns until the cows come home, I kid you not. Top notch care, expert dental services, and simply a great place to go for all dental needs. Highly and honestly recommended!!

If you have any fear/worry or panic at thought of dental work, panic no more!!!!!!Had my dog bust my front tooth after hours on Halloween night. Called Aurora, & got Dr Nicks number, who returned my call right away. Determined I could wait till Monday, with him calling to check on my on Sunday, & of course if anything changed, for me to call right away. To say that I have INTENSE fear/apprehension/nerves/panic-anxiety etc al, doesnt begin to describe my previous dental history....I MUST be knocked out, to prevent me from crying, vomiting, & fleeing from the chair. Dr. Nick put me at ease, called in low meds night prior, and my appt yesterday was NOTHING short of miraculous!!!! I have NEVER had a novicane shot that hasnt felt as if my mouth was getting stabbed in a slasher film. I had to ask him if he was actually giving me a shot!!!! First time EVER of NOT feeling them, at all. The entire time he asked how I was doing, actually listened to me/heard me, and just over-all made me feel at ease, which I have NEVER felt, ever. I have FINALLY, after 30+ years of fears & searching, found my dentist!! The office, & staff are so nice, welcoming, and just sets you at ease! I HIGHLY recommend Dr Nick & team!!

Got a filling and a crown put on and I must say, it was all-in-all a remarkably pleasant experience. Considering the circumstances, that is saying a lot!It was so pain-free I almost fell asleep a couple of times while in the chair, and now just a few hours later my teeth feel great. I wish everyone who needed dental work could go to a place like this. If you can get into their schedule, I’d highly recommend it.

I was amazed at how nice the whole entire staffing was; and it was not fake! You can tell the minute you walk in that these people truly love their job and being there. Then the experience of prepping so the Dr. Can do his job. The x-rays are done and up immediately. Bre was the one doing all of that and she is genuinely sweet natured. She also explained what she was looking for at each step AND I love seeing everything. Then Dr. Nick came in. He has a wonderful personality, and we talked about planning ahead for next year, some processes I will need and want to get done, but insurance doesnt cover the whole expense.When I left, they treated me like they have known me for a long time and this was my first visit....how cool is that? I am actually looking forward to my cleaning in May......I highly recommend them, I must remember to thank my co-worker Amanda for telling me about them; shes loves them, too.
