Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental, officially known as Aspen Dental Management, Inc., is a prominent American dental support organization (DSO) established in 1998. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, Aspen Dental does not directly own the dental practices but instead provides extensive business and operational support services to a network of over 1,000 independently owned and operated Aspen Dental-branded dental offices across 46 states. This model allows dentists to focus primarily on patient care while Aspen Dental handles administrative, marketing, and operational aspects. The organization's mission is to break down barriers to quality, affordable oral healthcare, aiming to serve individuals who may not have an existing relationship with a dental provider or face financial hurdles. Their practices are often located in areas identified as "dental deserts" to improve access to care. Aspen Dental offers a comprehensive range of dental services, including general dentistry (check-ups, cleanings, fillings), restorative procedures (crowns, bridges), dentures (with on-site labs for faster service and a money-back guarantee), dental implants, and emergency dental care (same-day appointments for urgent issues). They also provide specialty services like oral surgery, endodontics (root canals), and orthodontics (including Motto® clear aligners). Beyond clinical services, Aspen Dental is committed to community initiatives, such as the "Healthy Mouth Movement," which provides free dental care to underserved populations, including veterans. They strive for transparent pricing and offer various financing options and payment plans, partnering with most insurance providers and offering a savings plan for uninsured patients. The Owensboro, KY location at 5035 Frederica St #3, managed by Kathleen Donley, is part of this extensive network and aims to deliver the same high standard of care.
