We’ve been helping Aurora families save their teeth since 1972. Whether you’re dealing with throbbing tooth pain right now or you’ve just been told you need a root canal, our experienced dentists are ready to see you — often the same day.
“I had a horrible toothache and needed to find someone asap. I called at 8:30 in the morning and was in seeing Dr. Zeppelin at 1 pm that day. I felt that the whole staff went above and beyond to help me in what was one of the most painful days of my life. I was so happy I decided to go with Aspenwood Dental..”
— Lawrence D., Aurora, CO — Aspenwood Patient
Tired of Dealing with Tooth Pain While Getting the Runaround?
You already know something is wrong. The question is whether you can find someone who will actually take care of it — today, not three weeks from now — and not make you feel like a number on a chart.
Here’s what most Aurora patients tell us before they find Aspenwood:
“I’ve had bad experiences with dentists before and I don’t trust them.” — We hear this often. It’s exactly why patients drive across town — even out of network — to come back to us.
“I couldn’t get a same-day appointment anywhere.” — We keep time in our schedule for patients in pain. Call us and we’ll do everything we can to get you in that day.
“I was terrified it would hurt.” — Root canals have a bad reputation they don’t deserve. With modern anesthesia and a team that actually listens, most patients tell us it felt no worse than a standard filling.
“The dentist just wanted to pull the tooth and move on.” — We’re not here to take the easy way out. Our goal is to save your natural tooth whenever possible — it’s almost always the better long-term choice.
“I had no idea what it was going to cost until I was already in the chair.” — We believe in total price transparency before treatment starts. No surprises, no hidden fees, no “we’ll figure it out after.”

Everything You Need to Save Your Tooth and Get Out of Pain
Root Canal Treatment (Endodontic Therapy)
When a tooth’s pulp becomes infected — from deep decay, a crack, or an old filling that’s failed — the pain won’t go away on its own. We remove the infected pulp, clean and seal the canals, and eliminate the source of the pain. You walk away with your natural tooth saved and the infection gone.
Same-Day Porcelain Crowns
After a root canal, most teeth need a crown to stay protected long-term. At Aspenwood, we can mill and place a custom porcelain crown in a single visit — no temporary crown, no second appointment, no waiting. You leave with a fully restored tooth the same day the root canal is completed.
In-House Endodontic Coordination
Comprehensive Care Under One Roof Most general dentists refer root canal cases out to a separate specialist — which means more appointments, more offices, and more uncertainty. Our experienced dentists handle most root canals right here in our office, working alongside our in-house dental lab to ensure your care stays connected, consistent, and faster.
Sedation Options for Anxious Patients
If the idea of a root canal makes your stomach drop, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to white-knuckle it. We offer sedation options to help you stay calm and comfortable throughout the procedure. You get the treatment you need without the anxiety that’s been holding you back.
Membership Plan for Uninsured Patients
No dental insurance? Our in-house membership plan gives you access to care with 100% price transparency and no waiting periods. You know exactly what you’ll pay before you sit down — no insurance company in the middle, no surprises.

Why Aurora Residents Choose Aspenwood Dental for Root Canals
Aspenwood Dental has been caring for Aurora families since 1972 — over 50 years serving the same community, with patients who come back decade after decade, even when we’re out of network. That kind of loyalty doesn’t happen at a corporate dental chain. It happens when a practice genuinely puts patients first.
We’re not a revolving door of dentists you’ve never met. Our team — Drs. Yaros, Sun, Zeppelin, and Augustine — collaborate directly on complex cases. When you need a root canal and a crown, both happen under one roof, with doctors who talk to each other. You never get handed off to a stranger.
Our technology matches any specialist office in the Denver area. Same-day porcelain crowns, digital X-rays, and X-Guide live guided surgery are part of how we treat patients — not upsells. High-tech care delivered by a team that’s known your family for years. That’s the Aspenwood difference.
Dr. Zeppelin and Dr. Augustine have both been named 5280 Top Dentists — one of the most respected recognitions in Colorado dentistry. [Insert: additional board memberships or certifications for Drs. Yaros and Sun if available]
We hold a 4.9-star rating across 1,600+ Google reviews — not because we ask every patient to leave one, but because people genuinely want to tell others about their experience here.

Common Questions About Root Canals in Aurora, CO
How much does a root canal cost in Aurora, CO?
Root canal costs in the Aurora/Denver area typically range from $700–$1,500 for a front tooth and $1,000–$2,000+ for a molar, before the crown. At Aspenwood, we give you the full cost — including the crown — before treatment begins. If you don’t have insurance, our in-house membership plan can significantly reduce your out-of-pocket cost with no waiting period.
Does a root canal hurt?
Most patients are surprised by how little they feel during the procedure. We use local anesthesia to fully numb the area before we start, and sedation options are available if you’re anxious. The discomfort after — mild soreness for a day or two — is far less than the tooth pain that brought you in.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
The most common signs are a persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers, swelling near a tooth, or a darkened tooth. The only way to know for certain is an exam and X-rays — which we do at your complimentary first visit, at no charge.
Can you do the root canal and the crown in the same visit?
In many cases, yes. We offer same-day porcelain crowns milled right here in our office. That means you can have the root canal completed and the permanent crown placed without a second appointment. We’ll tell you upfront whether your case qualifies.
What happens if I don’t get a root canal?
The infection won’t clear on its own. Left untreated, it spreads — to surrounding teeth, to the bone, and in serious cases into your bloodstream. Extraction becomes the only option, which then requires an implant or bridge. Saving the natural tooth with a root canal is almost always the better and less expensive long-term choice.
Do you accept my insurance?
We work with most major dental insurance plans ( Delta Dental ) If you’re uninsured or out-of-network, our in-house membership plan gives you full price transparency and immediate benefits — no waiting periods, no surprise bills.
