Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a prominent brand in the dental industry, representing a large network of independently owned dental practices across the United States. These practices are supported by Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI), which functions as a Dental Support Organization (DSO). ADMI provides comprehensive administrative and business support services, including marketing, staffing, patient billing, insurance negotiations, and technological infrastructure, allowing the dentists to focus primarily on patient care. The business model of Aspen Dental emphasizes accessibility and affordability of dental care, often targeting individuals who may face financial or other barriers to traditional dental services. They offer a broad spectrum of dental services, including general dentistry (check-ups, cleanings, fillings), emergency dental care, cosmetic dentistry (teeth whitening, veneers, clear aligners like Motto®), restorative procedures (crowns, bridges, root canals), oral surgery (tooth extractions), and specialized services such as dentures and dental implants. Aspen Dental aims to provide "all under one roof" convenience for patients. A key aspect of Aspen Dental's approach is its commitment to making care affordable, offering various financing options, accepting most insurance plans, and providing an Aspen Dental Savings Plan. They also have initiatives like the "Healthy Mouth Movement," which includes providing free dental care to U.S. veterans. The Okemos, MI location of Aspen Dental, situated at 2085 W Grand River Ave, is part of this extensive network. Patient reviews for Aspen Dental locations, including the Okemos clinic, often highlight the friendly staff, comprehensive explanations of treatment plans, and accommodating service, particularly for emergency situations and financing needs. While each practice is independently owned and the dentists make independent clinical decisions, the common branding and support structure aim to ensure a consistent patient experience and high-quality care across the network.
