Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a prominent American dental support organization (DSO) that backs a vast network of independently owned dental offices across the United States. Founded in 1998, its headquarters is in Chicago, Illinois. The company's core mission is to break down barriers to dental care, particularly for individuals who may not have an established relationship with a dental provider or face financial constraints. The business model of Aspen Dental is based on the dental support organization (DSO) concept, where ADMI provides comprehensive administrative, operational, marketing, and training support services to the independently owned Aspen Dental branded practices. This allows dentists to focus primarily on patient care rather than the complexities of running a small business. The individual dental offices are owned and operated by licensed dentists who make independent clinical decisions for their patients. Aspen Dental offers a wide array of dental services, catering to general dentistry needs as well as more specialized procedures. These services include, but are not limited to: General Dentistry: Routine check-ups, cleanings, fillings, root canals, and treatment for gum disease. Restorative Dentistry: Crowns, bridges, and dental implants to restore function and appearance. Prosthodontics: Various types of dentures, including full, partial, and implant-supported dentures, along with repair and reline services. Oral Surgery: Tooth extractions (including wisdom teeth), dental implants, and bone grafting. Cosmetic Dentistry: Teeth whitening, veneers, and Motto® clear aligners for teeth straightening. Emergency Dental Care: Providing same-day appointments for urgent dental issues. Aspen Dental emphasizes accessibility and affordability. They often accept walk-ins for emergencies, work with various financing and insurance options, and offer a savings plan for patients without dental insurance. Through initiatives like the "Healthy Mouth Movement," Aspen Dental also provides free dental care to veterans and underserved populations. The Angola, IN location, like other Aspen Dental offices, aims to provide comprehensive dental services to the local community. Patient reviews for Aspen Dental locations generally highlight the convenience of services, the professionalism of staff, and the range of treatments available, though some reviews also mention concerns regarding pricing and treatment plans.
