Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a prominent American dental support organization (DSO) that supports a vast network of independently owned and operated dental offices across the United States. Founded in 1998, Aspen Dental's headquarters are in Chicago, Illinois, and it operates under The Aspen Group (TAG) parent company. The organization's core mission is to make quality dental care accessible and affordable for a broad spectrum of individuals, particularly those who may lack a regular dental provider or face financial hurdles to treatment. The services offered at Aspen Dental locations are comprehensive, covering a wide array of general and specialized dental needs. These include routine dental check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, extractions, crowns, and bridges. They are particularly known for their expertise in dentures, offering various styles and on-site labs for quick repairs and relines. Additionally, Aspen Dental provides dental implants, clear aligners (Motto®), oral surgery, and endodontic treatments like root canals. Emergency dental care is also a key offering, addressing urgent issues such as severe toothaches, broken teeth, and dental abscesses. While each Aspen Dental practice is independently owned by licensed dentists who maintain clinical autonomy, Aspen Dental Management, Inc. provides crucial support services, including marketing, operations, and training. This model allows dentists to focus on patient care while the business aspects are managed centrally. Aspen Dental also emphasizes affordability and accessibility, accepting most insurance providers, assisting with paperwork, and offering various flexible financing options and a savings plan. They have also engaged in community initiatives like the "Healthy Mouth Movement," providing free dental care to veterans and underserved populations. The Lancaster, PA location is one of many such clinics, serving the local community with these comprehensive dental solutions.
