Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental, specifically the location at 1011 Charleston Ave E, Mattoon, IL, is a dental clinic that operates as part of a larger network of independently owned and operated dental practices across the United States. These practices are supported by Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI), a dental support organization (DSO) that provides non-clinical business services such as marketing, operations, human resources, and procurement. While ADMI licenses the "Aspen Dental" brand name, the clinical decisions and patient care are the sole responsibility of the independent licensed dentists who own and operate each practice, such as Dr. Christopher Painton at this Mattoon location. The Mattoon Aspen Dental office offers comprehensive dental services designed to address a wide array of oral health needs. These services include general dentistry (check-ups, cleanings, fillings, root canals), restorative treatments (crowns, bridges, dental implants), and transformative options like Motto® clear aligners and teeth whitening. They also specialize in dentures, offering various types including full, partial, and implant dentures, with options for immediate placement and a focus on affordability. A key aspect of their service is emergency dental care, providing same-day appointments for urgent issues like severe toothaches, broken teeth, and gum swelling. Aspen Dental aims to make dental care accessible to a broad patient base, particularly those who may face financial or other barriers to care. They accept most major dental insurance plans and offer financing options and a savings plan for those without insurance. The Mattoon office emphasizes transparency in pricing, providing detailed written estimates for treatment plans. The clinic is located on Charleston Ave, in front of the Dollar Tree plaza, and shares a building with Borics Hair Care and All About Eyes. Patient reviews for Aspen Dental locations, including Mattoon, often highlight the friendly staff, comfortable environment, and efficient service, though some past public discussions have raised questions about their business model and treatment recommendations.
