Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental - Helena, MT, located at 3267 N Montana Ave, Helena, MT 59602, is an independently owned and operated dental clinic affiliated with the broader Aspen Dental network. Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI), a dental support organization (DSO) under its parent company The Aspen Group (TAG), provides administrative, marketing, and business support services to these branded practices. This model allows dentists to focus primarily on patient care while the DSO handles the operational aspects of the business. The Helena, MT location offers a wide range of dental services designed to meet diverse patient needs. These include general dentistry such as routine check-ups, dental hygiene, and fillings. They also specialize in cosmetic dentistry, offering teeth whitening, dental veneers, and clear aligners (Motto®). For more complex needs, the clinic provides services like dentures (including full, partial, and implant-supported options), dental implants, root canals (endodontics), and oral surgery (such as tooth extractions and wisdom teeth removal). Emergency dental care is also available. Aspen Dental's mission is to break down barriers to dental care, focusing on affordability, transparency, and accessibility. They aim to serve individuals who may not have a regular dental provider or face financial hurdles. To this end, the Helena clinic, like other Aspen Dental locations, provides transparent pricing with written treatment plans and offers various payment options, including dental financing and the Aspen Dental Savings Plan. While they accept most comprehensive dental insurance plans for preventive care, coverage for restorative and cosmetic treatments may vary, and they do not accept Medicaid. The Aspen Dental network, founded in 1998 by Robert Fontana, is one of the largest groups of branded dental offices globally, with over 1,100 locations across 46 states. The company emphasizes a "Practice Ownership Program" which allows dentists to own and operate their practices while benefiting from the support and resources of a large organization, including continued education, professional development, and access to advanced technology like digital labs, 3D printing, and intraoral scanners. The Helena, MT office embodies this commitment to comprehensive, patient-centered care within a supportive organizational framework.
