Has anyone used Aspen Dental for a tooth extraction?

My tooth broke on Saturday (of course never on a Monday morning) and my dentist is on vacation for the next 2 weeks. I don't have dental insurance and was just going to pay cash. It is the molar right behind the "A" tooth or fang tooth. I was in a nearby town and saw a sign for Aspen Dental and decided to have a look. I made an appointment for tomorrow to have them take a look and extract it if possible. I don't think a root canal is justified on this tooth.

Do they do a good job? How expensive are they? And would you use them again? (assuming you already did) Thanks!!!

    Aspen dental mKes money by taking in high volumes of patients who want to use dental plans. These plans pay very little, so they try to talk you into treatments not coverd on the plans. Also, the dentists are usually new and do not have experience and will attempt to save teeth that cannot be saved, and wind up with a mess. Also, the dentists are very often not there full time and you get treated by different dentists who do not agree on which treatment you should have. Most general dentists are very bad at extracting teeth.

    Only go to Aspen if you are on your last buck and need something done, o matter how bad.
