Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a prominent American dental support organization (DSO) that was founded in 1998. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, it operates under The Aspen Group (TAG) and supports over 1,000 independently owned and operated Aspen Dental-branded dentistry locations across 46 states in the United States. While individual Aspen Dental practices are owned by licensed dentists who maintain clinical autonomy, Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI) provides a comprehensive suite of non-clinical business support services. These services are extensive and include accounting, bookkeeping, advertising, marketing, human resources, personnel recruiting, payroll administration, regulatory compliance, procurement of equipment and supplies, real estate management and leasing, and installing patient interface platforms. They also include on-site dental laboratories for the manufacture of dentures, which helps facilitate quick turnaround times. Aspen Dental's core mission is to "break down barriers and bring better care to more people." This is achieved by offering affordable and accessible dental solutions, often targeting individuals who may not have a regular dental provider or face financial constraints. They aim to provide an honest, judgment-free environment, and are known for accepting new patients, working with various insurance providers (or no insurance), and offering flexible financing options. Services typically available at Aspen Dental practices include general dentistry (check-ups, fillings, cleanings), emergency Dental care, dentures (with a money-back guarantee), dental implants, clear aligners (Motto™ Clear Aligners), extractions, oral surgery, teeth whitening, crowns, and bridges. The company has a strong focus on community outreach, notably through initiatives like the "Healthy Mouth Movement" and "Day of Service," which provide free dental care to veterans and underserved communities. While their business model involves supporting a large network of clinics, the individual practices are committed to personalized treatment plans designed by the dentists themselves, focusing on both short- and long-term oral and overall health.
