Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a prominent brand in the dental industry, known for its extensive network of dental practices across the United States. While the brand name "Aspen Dental" is widely recognized, it's important to understand their unique business model: each Aspen Dental-branded practice is independently owned and operated by a licensed dentist. Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI), which is part of The Aspen Group (TAG), provides comprehensive administrative and business support services to these independent practices. This support includes marketing, operations, human resources, payroll, procurement, real estate management, and the implementation of patient interface platforms, allowing dentists to focus primarily on patient care rather than the complexities of running a business. The Aspen Dental location at 4929 S Baldwin Rd Ste 104 in Lake Orion, MI, is one such independently owned and operated clinic. These clinics aim to break down barriers to dental care, such as affordability and accessibility, by offering extended hours, accepting walk-ins and emergency patients, and providing transparent pricing with detailed treatment plans. They also work with various insurance providers and offer financing options and a savings plan to make care more affordable. Services typically offered at Aspen Dental locations, including the Lake Orion clinic, are comprehensive and cater to a wide range of dental needs. These include general dentistry services like dental check-ups, cleanings, fillings, and root canals. They also specialize in restorative procedures such as dental crowns, bridges, and dental implants. A significant focus for Aspen Dental is on dentures, with most locations having on-site denture labs for quick turnarounds on repairs, relines, or new custom-crafted dentures, backed by a money-back guarantee. Additionally, they offer cosmetic treatments like teeth whitening and veneers, as well as oral surgery services, including tooth extractions, wisdom teeth removal, and bone grafting. Aspen Dental is committed to providing a welcoming and judgment-free environment, especially for those who may have avoided dental care due to anxiety or financial concerns. Their business model, leveraging a Dental Support Organization (DSO), allows for economies of scale, access to advanced technology (like digital labs with 3D printing and intraoral scanners), and ongoing professional development and mentorship for their dentists, ultimately aiming to deliver high-quality and affordable care to a broad patient base.
