Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a prominent American dental support organization (DSO) that provides administrative and business support services to a vast network of independently owned dental offices operating under the Aspen Dental brand across the United States. Founded in 1998, its headquarters are in Chicago, Illinois. The core business model of Aspen Dental revolves around empowering dentists to focus on clinical care by handling the non-clinical aspects of practice management, such as marketing, staffing, patient billing, and insurance negotiations. This DSO model aims to alleviate the administrative burden often faced by private practice dentists, making dental care more accessible, especially in underserved communities. Aspen Dental clinics offer a comprehensive array of dental services designed to address a wide range of oral health needs. These services typically include: General Dentistry: Routine check-ups, cleanings, fillings, and preventative care. Cosmetic Dentistry: Teeth whitening, veneers, dental bonding, and smile makeovers. Restorative Dentistry: Crowns, bridges, and root canals. Dentures: A variety of denture options, including full, partial, and implant-supported dentures, along with repair and relining services. Dental Implants: Solutions for replacing missing teeth. Orthodontics: Including Motto® clear aligners, an exclusive offering. Oral Surgery: Including tooth extractions and emergency dental services. Aspen Dental emphasizes patient affordability and accessibility, offering various financing options and accepting most major dental insurance plans. They also have initiatives like the "Healthy Mouth Movement," providing free dental care to veterans and those in need. While they aim to provide quality and affordable care, like any large dental provider network, Aspen Dental has received a mix of patient reviews. Some commend the friendly staff, comprehensive care, and accessible scheduling, including emergency appointments. Others have raised concerns regarding treatment plans, billing practices, and the fitting of dental prosthetics. The Aspen Dental location in Muskegon, MI, specifically at 5350 Harvey St Suite D, operates within this national framework. It offers the full range of Aspen Dental services and aims to provide convenient and affordable dental care to the local community. The Muskegon office lists Dr. Nicholas Miller as the owner, and Dr. Ahmad Yosif as an oral surgeon, and Dr. Andrew Brown as a partner, indicating a team-based approach to patient care.
