Detailed Introduction
Aspen Dental is a prominent American dental support organization (DSO) that manages and provides business support services to a vast network of independently owned and operated dental practices, all branded as Aspen Dental. Founded in 1998 in Syracuse, NY, Aspen Dental's headquarters are now in Chicago, Illinois. As of 2025, The Aspen Group (TAG), its parent company, supports over 1,000 Aspen Dental locations nationwide.
The core mission of Aspen Dental is to break down barriers to quality, affordable dental care. They cater to individuals who may not have a regular dental provider or face financial constraints. While the individual dental practices are independently owned by licensed dentists who maintain clinical autonomy, Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI) offers comprehensive non-clinical business support. This includes services such as accounting, marketing, human resources, payroll, procurement, real estate management, and patient interface platforms, allowing dentists to focus primarily on patient care.
Aspen Dental clinics offer a wide array of dental services, covering general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and various specialties. These services include:
General Dentistry: Comprehensive exams, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, and treatment for gum disease.
Restorative Dentistry: Crowns, bridges, and root canals.
Dentures: A key focus for Aspen Dental, they offer various styles of full and partial dentures, often with on-site dental labs for quicker service and a money-back guarantee.
Dental Implants: Including single-tooth implants and implant-supported dentures.
Orthodontics: Primarily through their Motto® clear aligners.
Oral Surgery: Including tooth extractions and wisdom teeth removal.
Cosmetic Dentistry: Teeth whitening, veneers, and dental bonding.
Aspen Dental is known for its commitment to accessibility and affordability. They work with most insurance providers, handle paperwork, and offer flexible financing options, with a high approval rate for third-party lenders. They also actively engage in community initiatives like the "Healthy Mouth Movement," providing free dental care to veterans and underserved populations. The Vincennes, IN location at 630 Kimmell Rd, specifically, has garnered positive reviews for its friendly and efficient staff, offering a range of services and accommodating emergency appointments.
