Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a prominent American dental support organization (DSO) that provides business and operational support services to a vast network of independently owned and operated dental offices across the United States. Founded in 1998, its headquarters are in Chicago, Illinois. While the individual dental practices are owned by licensed dentists who maintain clinical autonomy, Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI) handles the non-clinical aspects of the business, such as marketing, accounting, billing, and training. This model allows dentists to focus primarily on patient care. Aspen Dental aims to break down barriers to quality dental care, particularly for individuals who may not have a regular dental provider or face financial constraints. Their clinics are often located in easily accessible areas like shopping centers and frequently offer flexible hours, including evenings and some Saturdays, along with walk-in and emergency appointments. The services offered at Aspen Dental locations are comprehensive and include general dentistry (cleanings, exams, fillings), restorative dentistry (crowns, bridges), dentures (full, partial, and implant-supported, often with on-site labs for quick turnaround), dental implants, cosmetic dentistry (teeth whitening, veneers, clear aligners like Motto®), and specialty services such as oral surgery (extractions, wisdom teeth removal) and endodontics (root canals). They also work with most insurance providers and offer financing options like CareCredit. Aspen Dental is known for its commitment to community initiatives, such as the "Healthy Mouth Movement," which provides free dental care to veterans and underserved populations. While the organization emphasizes patient satisfaction and affordability, some online reviews indicate mixed experiences, with some patients praising the convenience and care received, while others express concerns about treatment plans and billing practices. The specific location in Indianapolis, IN, at 10110 E Washington St Ste E, operates under the same Aspen Dental model, offering a wide range of dental services to the local community. It maintains similar hours and a focus on accessible and affordable care, aligning with the broader brand mission.
