Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a prominent American dental support organization (DSO) that provides support services to independently owned dental practices operating under the Aspen Dental brand. Founded in 1998, Aspen Dental has grown to a vast network of over 1,100 locations nationwide, aiming to break down barriers to dental care and serve communities, including those in "dental deserts." The Aspen Dental location in Bolingbrook, IL, like other clinics in the network, offers a wide array of dental services. These include general dentistry such as check-ups, cleanings, and fillings. A significant focus for Aspen Dental is on dentures, providing various options from basic to premium Signature Elite dentures, often with same-day availability, warranties, and a money-back guarantee. They also specialize in dental implants, offering a long-term solution for missing teeth. For urgent needs, Aspen Dental provides emergency dental care services for issues like toothaches, cracked teeth, lost fillings or crowns, and wisdom tooth pain, often with walk-in or same-day appointments. Cosmetic dentistry services, including teeth whitening, veneers, dental bonding, and clear aligners (like Motto™ clear aligners), are also available to help patients achieve their desired smile aesthetics. Aspen Dental's business model emphasizes providing comprehensive support to dentists, allowing them to focus on patient care while the DSO handles the business aspects, including marketing, human resources, and technology. They also have a Practice Ownership Program (POP) that enables dentists to own their practices within the Aspen Dental network. For patients, Aspen Dental strives to make dental care affordable through options like the Aspen Dental Savings Plan, which offers discounts on services, and flexible third-party financing. While generally receiving positive feedback for accessibility and range of services, some past reviews have raised concerns about treatment recommendations and costs, highlighting the importance of clear communication and understanding of treatment plans.
