Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental, officially known as Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI), is a leading American dental support organization (DSO) that provides business support services to a vast network of independently owned and operated Aspen Dental-branded dentistry locations. Established in 1998 in East Syracuse, NY, the organization has grown significantly, now supporting over 1,000 offices nationwide across 46 states. The parent company of Aspen Dental is The Aspen Group (TAG), which has expanded its reach beyond dental care to include urgent care and medical aesthetics. Aspen Dental's core mission is to make quality dental care accessible to more people by breaking down common barriers such as affordability, transparency, and access. They aim to serve individuals who may not have a regular dental provider or face financial constraints. The model allows dentists to focus primarily on patient care, while Aspen Dental Management handles the non-clinical aspects of running a practice, including marketing, operations, human resources, and procurement. The services offered at Aspen Dental practices are comprehensive, covering a broad spectrum of dental needs. These include routine check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, extractions, root canals, crowns, bridges, dentures (full and partial, with on-site lab technicians at many locations), dental implants, and cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening and clear aligners (Motto® clear aligners). They also provide emergency dental services. Aspen Dental has a strong commitment to community outreach, notably through initiatives like the "Healthy Mouth Movement," which provides free dental care to veterans and underserved populations. The company emphasizes a patient-centered approach, striving to offer an honest and judgment-free environment. While individual Aspen Dental practices are independently owned by licensed dentists, they collectively adhere to a shared commitment to quality care and patient satisfaction.
