Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a prominent American dental support organization (DSO) that manages and provides business and administrative support services to a large network of independently owned and operated dental practices across the United States. Founded in 1998, their mission is to break down barriers to quality dental care, making it more accessible and affordable for a diverse patient base, particularly those who may not have an existing dental provider relationship or face financial obstacles. While each Aspen Dental location, such as the one in Brighton, MI, is individually owned and operated by licensed dentists, they leverage the "Aspen Dental" brand name and benefit from the centralized support provided by ADMI. This support includes marketing, staffing, patient billing, insurance negotiations, and extensive training and mentorship programs for dentists. This DSO model allows dentists to focus primarily on patient care, while the administrative burdens are handled by the support organization. Aspen Dental offers a wide range of dental services, typically encompassing general dentistry (cleanings, fillings, extractions), as well as more specialized treatments like dentures, dental implants, crowns, bridges, and emergency dental care. Many locations also have on-site denture labs for faster service. They are known for their commitment to transparency regarding treatment costs and offer various financing options to make care more attainable. Beyond their regular services, Aspen Dental is actively involved in community initiatives, notably the "Healthy Mouth Movement." Through this program, hundreds of Aspen Dental practices and their "MouthMobile" provide free dental services to underserved populations, including a significant focus on U.S. veterans. This reflects their dedication to improving oral health access for those in need. The Brighton, MI location specifically offers comprehensive dental services, including general dentistry, dentures, dental implants, clear aligners, and emergency care. It has received generally positive reviews for its friendly staff, professional service, and willingness to explain treatment options and costs, making it a reliable option for dental care in the area.
