Detailed Introduction
Aspen Dental, officially known as Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI), is a prominent American dental support organization (DSO) that provides comprehensive business and administrative support services to a vast network of independently owned and operated Aspen Dental-branded dental practices across the United States. Founded in 1998, its headquarters are in Chicago, Illinois.
The core mission of Aspen Dental is to break down barriers to quality dental care, focusing on individuals who might otherwise face financial, accessibility, or other challenges in obtaining dental services. While the individual dental practices are owned and operated by licensed dentists who maintain clinical autonomy, ADMI handles the non-clinical aspects of the business, such as marketing, accounting, human resources, payroll, real estate management, and procurement of supplies. This model allows dentists to concentrate primarily on patient care.
Aspen Dental offers a wide array of dental services, catering to diverse patient needs. These services include, but are not limited to:
General Dentistry: Routine check-ups, cleanings, fillings, and general oral health maintenance.
Restorative Dentistry: Crowns, bridges, and tooth extractions.
Dentures: A specialty for Aspen Dental, offering various styles of full and partial dentures, often with on-site labs for quicker service and a money-back guarantee.
Dental Implants: Single tooth implants and implant-supported dentures.
Cosmetic Dentistry: Teeth whitening, veneers, and clear aligners (Motto® clear aligners).
Specialty Services: Oral surgery (including wisdom teeth removal), and endodontic treatments (root canals).
Aspen Dental is committed to making dental care affordable and accessible. They accept most insurance providers, handle insurance paperwork, and offer flexible financing options through third-party lenders, with a high approval rate. They also provide a "Healthy Mouth Movement" initiative, offering free dental care to underserved populations, particularly veterans. Many locations also welcome walk-ins and emergency patients and offer extended hours, including evenings and some Saturdays.
As part of The Aspen Group (TAG), a larger multi-vertical retail healthcare support organization, Aspen Dental leverages a robust support system to expand its reach and continue its mission of delivering accessible, quality dental care nationwide.
