Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a prominent brand in the dental industry, known for its extensive network of dental clinics across the United States. While the brand name "Aspen Dental" is widely recognized, it's important to understand that each Aspen Dental-branded practice is independently owned and operated by a licensed dentist. Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI), a subsidiary of The Aspen Group (TAG), provides administrative and business support services to these practices, including marketing, operations, and training. Aspen Dental's mission revolves around making quality dental care more accessible and affordable for a broad patient base, particularly those who may not have established relationships with traditional private practices or face financial barriers. They achieve this by offering a comprehensive array of dental services under one roof, often with extended hours and weekend appointments, and providing various financing options and savings plans. Their services cover a wide spectrum of dental needs, including general dentistry (check-ups, cleanings, fillings), cosmetic dentistry (teeth whitening, veneers, clear aligners like Motto®), restorative dentistry (crowns, bridges, dental implants), and specialized treatments such as dentures, oral surgery (extractions, wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting), and periodontal disease treatment. They emphasize offering comprehensive care, from preventative services to complex procedures. Aspen Dental has also initiated programs like the "Healthy Mouth Movement" to provide free dental care to U.S. veterans and underserved populations, demonstrating a commitment to community outreach. While they strive for consistent quality, patient experiences can vary between individual clinic locations due to their franchise model. They address concerns about affordability through transparent pricing, free initial exams for new patients without insurance, and third-party financing options.
