Detailed Introduction

Aspen Dental, officially known as Aspen Dental Management, Inc., is a prominent American dental support organization (DSO) that provides business and administrative support to independently owned and operated Aspen Dental-branded dental practices across the United States. Founded in 1998, Aspen Dental has grown to support over 1,000 locations in 45 states, making it one of the largest networks of branded dental care practices. The core of Aspen Dental's business model is to alleviate the administrative burdens for dentists, allowing them to focus primarily on patient care. This includes managing aspects like marketing, staffing, patient billing, insurance negotiations, procurement of equipment and supplies, and real estate. While the individual practices are owned by licensed dentists, they benefit from the shared resources, technology, and training programs provided by The Aspen Group (TAG), Aspen Dental's parent company, which also supports other healthcare brands like ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers and WellNow Urgent Care. Aspen Dental aims to make dental care more accessible and affordable, particularly for individuals who may not have a regular dental provider or face financial barriers. They offer a wide range of services, including general dentistry (check-ups, cleanings, fillings), cosmetic dentistry (teeth whitening, veneers, clear aligners like Motto®), and specialty services such as oral surgery (extractions, wisdom teeth removal, dental implants) and endodontics (root canal therapy). They also offer flexible payment options, including dental financing and their own Aspen Dental Savings Plan. The Owatonna, MN location at 1119 Frontage Rd W is part of this extensive network. Patient reviews for Aspen Dental generally highlight accessibility, immediate care for emergencies, and a focus on comprehensive treatment plans. However, some past concerns have been raised regarding billing practices and the promotion of certain treatments, which Aspen Dental has addressed by emphasizing transparency and patient-centered care. The company also has community initiatives, such as its "Healthy Mouth Movement," providing free dental care to veterans and those in need. Aspen Dental promotes professional development and offers a "Practice Ownership Program" for dentists looking to own their practice with the backing of the DSO's support system.

Very friendly and work well with clients for financing. very friendly people as well who took the time to explain everything while working at the same time.with my professional experience with what I do I understand sometimes that is not possible for people to do.I felt they were professional and efficient in the knowledge of what each person does.

Dr Thompson and Medina are good people. I have had a lot of work done in the past year. Sometimes when they're overly busy, they lose a little of their hospitality, but when they're not swamped, they really take the time to understand how you're doing.

People were amazing, the dentist was outstanding with dumbing things down to a normal person level. Mostly went in to kind of get my check up and was hearing all these different terms. Felt like a mental isolation with hearing RCB, DCB, from one to what felt like one hundred. Appointment was also at 930am which was fine, the television they leave you with is thoughtful, but had some politics. Pros: Office was clean, staff were very polite, used simpler term when they were done. Cons: Shouldn't be dealing with politics at not even 10am (personal take), and holy smokes the pricing and financial situation for myself was eye opening. If you can afford them, go for it.

I'm going to pop in and request some things and probably be done with this clinic on my end. Edit from 3 star down to 2. Debated on lower: So, recieve a letter stating I had a balance due which was waived first visit and fully covered. Now out of pocket they requested $168. 73 - from 3/28/2025 which I am guessing was because I requested my x-Rays be released to me. Stated on appointment/consultation day was "nothing owed" which was false. They will release your x-rays very easily, but send you a bill even after everything.

I did request a receipt for that day and was told "no". They were very happy to try to get me to finance my oral care which is astronomical/extortionate. Never going back post payment. Disappointed, thumbs down, and never recommending.

I had a dental emergency and needed a tooth extracted I called aspen dental and they were able to get me in the next day and then get it extracted as well. Everybody was super nice and so helpful with what was happening and the dentist that pulled it is a great man and is super considerate of his patients and making sure they are comfortable before starting.

I would love to keep coming back here and I am going to recommend this place to everyone i can. 100 out of 10
