Aspen Dental Opens Willis, Texas Office With Same-Day Emergency Appointments

Aspen Dental opened a new office in Willis, Texas, at 12250 Interstate 45 N., led by practice owner Dr. Anthony Spates. The practice offers comprehensive dental care, same-day emergency appointments and app-based scheduling, PR Newswire said on November 13, 2026.

What the Willis Office Offers

Aspen Dental is a dental support organization that provides business and clinical support to affiliated practices across the United States. The Willis office serves patients in Willis, Panorama Village, northern Conroe and the Lake Conroe area, and is accepting new patients.

The practice offers exams and cleanings, fillings, root canals, extractions, wisdom tooth removal, dental implants, dentures, crowns and bridges. Same-day emergency appointments are available for patients with a toothache or a broken tooth, subject to availability. Patients receive a written cost estimate before treatment begins, and third-party financing is available for larger treatment plans.

Spates also owns and operates Aspen Dental practices in Conroe and Houston. He completed a yearlong fellowship in oral and maxillofacial surgery at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, where he focused on implants and extractions. Amy John, a graduate of the University of Texas School of Dentistry, serves as managing clinical director.

"Opening in Willis feels like a natural next step for our team, and we are looking forward to meeting our new neighbors," Spates said. "We want this to be the office people think of first, whether they need a cleaning, help with a sudden toothache or a plan for replacing missing teeth."
