Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a prominent American dental support organization (DSO) that manages and provides business and administrative support services to a large network of independently owned and operated dental practices across the United States. Founded in 1998, its headquarters are located in Chicago, Illinois. While the individual dental offices are owned by licensed dentists who maintain clinical autonomy, ADMI licenses the "Aspen Dental" brand name and offers comprehensive support in areas such as marketing, operations, and training. Aspen Dental's mission is to make quality dental care more accessible and affordable for a broad range of individuals, particularly those who may not have an existing relationship with a dental provider or face financial barriers to care. Many of their practices are strategically located in areas identified as "dental deserts" to address unmet needs. Their extensive range of services typically includes: General Dentistry: Routine check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, and oral health assessments. Restorative Dentistry: Crowns, bridges, and dental fillings. Dentures: A wide variety of denture options, including full, partial, and implant-supported dentures, often with on-site denture labs for quicker service and a money-back guarantee. Dental Implants: Solutions for replacing missing teeth, including single tooth implants and implant-supported dentures. Cosmetic Dentistry: Teeth whitening, dental veneers, and Motto® clear aligners for teeth straightening. Specialty Services: Oral surgery (e.g., extractions, wisdom teeth removal), and endodontics (e.g., root canals). Emergency Dental Care: Prompt treatment for issues like toothaches, chipped/broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, and bleeding gums. Aspen Dental emphasizes patient-friendly programs, personalized treatment plans, and flexible financing options, including accepting most insurance providers and offering an Aspen Dental Savings Plan. They also have community initiatives like the "Healthy Mouth Movement," which provides free dental care to veterans and underserved populations.
