Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental, officially known as Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI), is a prominent American dental support organization. Founded in 1998, ADMI provides business, marketing, and training support services to a vast network of independently owned and operated Aspen Dental-branded dental practices across the United States, totaling around 1100 locations. The organization's mission is to expand access to quality dental care for more Americans, particularly those who may face financial or other barriers to treatment or who don't have an existing dental provider relationship. Each Aspen Dental practice is owned and operated by a licensed dentist, who makes independent clinical decisions. ADMI's role is to streamline the business side of dentistry, allowing dentists to focus on patient care. They offer a comprehensive range of dental services, including routine check-ups, cleanings, emergency dental care, tooth extractions, root canals, crowns, bridges, and advanced procedures like dentures, dental implants, and clear aligners (Motto® clear aligners). Aspen Dental emphasizes a patient-centered approach, aiming to create a comfortable and welcoming environment. They prioritize listening to patient concerns and developing tailored treatment plans. The clinics often utilize advanced dental technology for enhanced diagnosis and treatment. Aspen Dental also demonstrates a commitment to community involvement through initiatives like the "Healthy Mouth Movement," which provides free dental care to U.S. veterans and underserved communities. While the company has faced some criticism regarding billing and treatment practices, many patient reviews highlight positive experiences with friendly staff, effective pain management, and transparent pricing. The Ashland, KY location specifically has generally positive reviews, with patients praising the courteous, caring, and professional team.
