Aspen Dental Opens in Missoula with Same-Day Emergency Visits, Giving Patients with Dental Pain an Option Outside the ER

Led by Dr. Trevor Given, the North Reserve Street office offers early, evening and Saturday appointments, walk-ins and booking through the Aspen Dental app

MISSOULA, Mont., Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Aspen Dental® opened a new supported practice at 3045 N. Reserve St. in Missoula, adding a full-service dental office for preventative, restorative and emergency care. The practice is independently owned and operated by Trevor Given, DMD, a graduate of the University of Louisville School of Dentistry who also owns and operates the Aspen Dental practice in Helena. Ryan Sylvester, DDS, a graduate of Creighton University School of Dentistry, serves as the practice's managing clinical director. The Missoula office provides exams and cleanings, fillings, root canals, extractions, wisdom tooth removal, dental implants, crowns, bridges, and Motto™ Clear Aligners.

"Missoula is a place where people plan their weekends around the rivers and mountains, and nobody wants a toothache to cancel those plans," said Dr. Given. "I've learned that Montanans value a dentist who respects their time and gives straight answers, and I'm looking forward to bringing that to patients here."

The office is on North Reserve Street, part of U.S. Highway 93, which the City of Missoula's Reserve Street Safety Action Plan describes as a shopping and business district for dozens of retailers and a route for daily commutes.  The location makes the office easy to reach for patients who want to fit a visit into their regular routines.

Having a dentist close by matters most when a problem can't wait. Montana recorded 4,264 nontraumatic dental visits to emergency rooms in 2022, according to the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services' 2024 Oral Health Workforce Assessment, which notes that hospitals often provide only palliative care for these problems and cannot address the underlying cause. The assessment also puts the state at 56.5 dentists per 100,000 residents in 2023, below the national figure of 60.4.

"An ER visit can ease the pain for a night, but it usually can't repair the tooth that's causing it," said Dr. Arwinder Judge, chief clinical officer at Aspen Dental. "When a patient in pain can see a dentist in Missoula, the problem gets diagnosed and treated, and any follow-up gets planned, all in one office."

"Dr. Given is opening his second Montana practice, and that is something to celebrate," said Lori D'Anna, president, field operations at Aspen Dental. "We're proud to stand behind him to provide operational and business support while he expands access to care in Missoula, so more patients can be seen closer to home."

Patients can start the process before they walk in. The free to download Aspen Dental app, available on the Apple App Store and Google Play, lets patients request emergency appointments for tooth pain, a cracked tooth or a broken denture. It also lets them complete pre-visit steps, view their treatment plan and track their progress. The office also takes bookings online and by phone, welcomes walk-ins, works with many major dental insurance carriers and offers third-party financing. Patients receive a detailed cost estimate before treatment begins.
