Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental, officially known as Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI), is a prominent American dental support organization (DSO) that supports a vast network of Aspen Dental-branded dentistry locations throughout the United States. Founded in 1998 in East Syracuse, NY, Aspen Dental has grown significantly to over 1,000 offices nationwide, with its headquarters now in Chicago, Illinois. The core mission of Aspen Dental is to break down barriers to quality dental care, making it more accessible and affordable for a wide range of individuals, particularly those who may not have an existing relationship with a dental provider or face financial constraints. While each Aspen Dental branded practice is independently owned and operated by licensed dentists, ADMI provides extensive administrative, business, and marketing support services. This model allows the dentists to maintain clinical autonomy and concentrate on delivering patient care, while the complexities of running a business are handled by the support organization. Aspen Dental offers a comprehensive array of dental services, catering to various oral health needs. These services include, but are not limited to: General Dentistry: Routine check-ups, cleanings, fillings, and oral cancer screenings. Dentures: A wide selection of full and partial dentures, including on-site denture labs for efficient service, and a money-back guarantee. Dental Implants: Solutions for replacing missing teeth, including single tooth implants and implant-supported dentures. Emergency Dental Care: Prompt assistance for issues like toothaches, broken or chipped teeth, loosened or knocked-out teeth, and bleeding/swollen gums. Specialty Services: This can include oral surgery (extractions, wisdom teeth removal), endodontics (root canal therapy), and orthodontics (clear aligners like Motto®). Aspen Dental is also committed to community outreach through initiatives like the "Healthy Mouth Movement," which provides free dental care to U.S. veterans and underserved populations. They emphasize flexible financing options, work with most insurance providers, and offer an Aspen Dental Savings Plan to enhance affordability. The company's business model is lauded for empowering dentists with practice ownership opportunities while providing robust operational and professional development support.
