Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a prominent American dental support organization (DSO) that provides comprehensive business, administrative, and marketing support services to a vast network of independently owned and operated Aspen Dental-branded dental practices across the United States. Founded in 1998, Aspen Dental has grown to encompass over 1,000 locations nationwide, with a core mission to break down barriers to dental care and make it more accessible and affordable for a wider population, particularly in underserved communities. While each Aspen Dental office is independently owned by a licensed dentist, the practices operate under the "Aspen Dental" brand and benefit from the centralized support provided by ADMI. This DSO model allows dentists to focus primarily on patient care, as ADMI manages various non-clinical aspects such as marketing, staffing, patient billing, insurance negotiations, and technological infrastructure. This structure aims to alleviate the administrative burdens often faced by traditional private practices, allowing dentists to maximize their time with patients and potentially achieve higher compensation due to increased efficiency. Aspen Dental offers a comprehensive suite of dental services, catering to a wide range of oral health needs. These services include, but are not limited to: General Dentistry: Routine check-ups, dental cleanings, fillings, and oral health assessments. Restorative Dentistry: Crowns, bridges, and dentures (with on-site labs for faster service). Oral Surgery: Tooth extractions, wisdom teeth removal, and dental implants. Specialty Services: Endodontics (root canal therapy) and orthodontics (including their exclusive Motto® clear aligners). Cosmetic Dentistry: Teeth whitening, veneers, and dental bonding. Emergency Dental Care: Walk-in or same-day appointments for urgent dental issues. Aspen Dental emphasizes patient access and affordability, offering various payment options including dental financing, dental insurance, and their own Aspen Dental Savings Plan, which provides discounts on services for an annual fee. They also actively participate in community initiatives, such as the "Healthy Mouth Movement," which offers free dental care to veterans and those in need. The company has invested significantly in clinician development, providing extensive training programs, mentorship opportunities, and state-of-the-art technology, including digital labs and 3D printing capabilities, across its network.
