Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a prominent American dental support organization (DSO) that provides administrative and business support services to a vast network of independently owned and operated Aspen Dental-branded dental practices throughout the United States. Founded in 1998, Aspen Dental has grown significantly, with over 1,100 locations across the country. Their headquarters are in Chicago, Illinois. The core mission of Aspen Dental is to enhance access to quality dental care for more Americans, particularly those who may not have an existing relationship with traditional dental practices or face financial barriers. To achieve this, they emphasize affordability, transparency, and accessibility, offering extended hours, weekend appointments, and various financing options. Each Aspen Dental practice is independently owned by licensed dentists, who make their own clinical decisions, while Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI) provides the non-clinical support. Aspen Dental offers a comprehensive range of dental services, including: General Dentistry: Routine check-ups, dental hygiene, fillings, and oral cancer screenings. Emergency Dental Care: Prompt appointments for severe tooth pain, cracked or broken teeth. Restorative Dentistry: Dental fillings, crowns, bridges, dentures, and dental implants. Cosmetic Dentistry: Teeth whitening, veneers, and Motto® clear aligners for teeth straightening. Specialty Services: Oral surgery (including wisdom teeth extractions), endodontics (root canals), and periodontics (gum disease treatment). Aspen Dental is also known for its community outreach initiatives, such as the "Healthy Mouth Movement," which provides free dental care to U.S. veterans and underserved populations. While generally praised for its accessibility and range of services, patient experiences can vary between locations due to the independent ownership model. The Chicago, IL (Roscoe Village) location, specifically at 3201 N Western Ave, has generally positive reviews, with patients commending the friendly staff, thorough examinations, and assistance with insurance and payment options.
