Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a prominent American dental support organization (DSO) founded in 1998. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, it supports a vast network of over 1100 independently owned and operated dental offices across the United States. Their business model focuses on providing comprehensive non-clinical support services to these practices, including marketing, operations, training, and technology, thereby allowing dentists to concentrate primarily on patient care. Aspen Dental is part of The Aspen Group (TAG), a larger consumer healthcare platform. They emphasize making Dental care accessible, particularly to individuals who may not have a regular dental provider or face financial barriers. Their services encompass a broad spectrum of dental needs, including general dentistry (check-ups, cleanings, fillings), Emergency dental care, and specialized treatments such as Dentures (full, partial, implant-supported), Dental implants, crowns, bridges, Oral surgery (including extractions and wisdom teeth removal), and endodontics (root canals). They also offer clear aligner solutions like Motto™. Aspen Dental is known for its "Practice Ownership Program," which empowers dentists to become business owners with the backing of the organization's support infrastructure. They also engage in community initiatives, such as the "Healthy Mouth Movement," which provides free dental care to veterans and underserved populations. While they accept most major dental insurance providers, they do not accept Medicaid. To address affordability, they offer flexible financing options and their own Aspen Dental Savings Plan. The specific Aspen Dental location in Florence, SC, at 2160 W Evans St Ste 60, operates with the same principles, offering comprehensive dental services to the local community with a focus on patient care and accessibility.
