Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental, officially known as Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI), is an American dental support organization (DSO) established in 1998. Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the company provides comprehensive business, administrative, and marketing support services to a vast network of independently owned and operated dental practices across the United States. This model allows dentists to maintain clinical autonomy while benefiting from the operational efficiencies and resources of a larger organization. Aspen Dental's mission is to break down barriers to dental care, making it more accessible and affordable for a broader population, including those who may not have an existing relationship with a dental provider or face financial constraints. They achieve this by offering a wide array of services under one roof, often with convenient hours and flexible payment options. The services provided by Aspen Dental-branded locations typically include: General Dentistry: Routine check-ups, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, and preventative care. Cosmetic Dentistry: Teeth whitening, veneers, dental bonding, and clear aligners (Motto® clear aligners, exclusive to Aspen Dental). Restorative Dentistry: Crowns, bridges, dentures (full, partial, and implant-supported), and dental implants. Specialty Services: Oral surgery (including extractions and wisdom teeth removal), endodontics (root canals), and periodontics (gum disease treatment). Aspen Dental is known for its "Practice Ownership Program," which empowers dentists to become practice owners with the backing of ADMI's support infrastructure. They also engage in community initiatives like the "Healthy Mouth Movement," providing free dental care to underserved populations, including veterans. With over 1,100 locations nationwide, Aspen Dental is one of the largest groups of branded dental offices globally, emphasizing patient-centric care and continuous professional development for its affiliated dentists.
