Dr. Candace Lauderdale, lead dentist at the Columbus office, received her Doctor of Medical Dentistry degree from Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry. Dr. Lauderdale was born and raised in Georgia and has been practicing dentistry for five years. She is a volunteer with the Georgia Baptist Mobile Dental Unit, where she provides complimentary dental services to the under-served communities of Bacon and Atkinson counties. Dr. Lauderdale is looking forwarding to meeting the Columbus community and providing much needed access to high-quality dental care and education.

The Columbus practice is one of eight Aspen Dental locations in Georgia, a state where an estimated 14.5 percent of the population, or more than 1.4 million people, live in a dental health professional shortage area, according to data on designated Dental Health Professional shortage areas from the Kaiser Family Foundation.
In addition to offering patients the choice of seven 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, dentists and staff provide:
- Personalized treatment. Quick-fix solutions don't solve larger or chronic oral health problems. That's why dentists at Aspen Dental take a comprehensive approach to dental care. Following the initial exam and X-rays, each patient receives a customized treatment plan designed by the dentist 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 special promotions, senior discounts, and free new-patient exams and X-rays for patients without dental insurance. 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 see the dentist 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 seven 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.
