Great Expressions Dental Centers (GEDC) is a prominent dental support organization (DSO) that has been providing comprehensive dental care since its founding in 1982. Headquartered in Southfield, Michigan, GEDC operates a vast network of independently owned and operated affiliated dental practices across several states, including Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia. GEDC's mission is to offer accessible and affordable high-quality dental services. Their wide array of services covers general dentistry, preventive care, and various specialized treatments. These include, but are not limited to, routine dental exams and cleanings, fluoride treatments, composite fillings, and oral cancer screenings. Beyond general care, they excel in specialized fields such as orthodontics (including clear aligners), endodontics (root canals), periodontics (gum disease treatment), and oral and maxillofacial surgery (extractions, dental implants, jaw injury treatment). They also offer cosmetic dentistry services like teeth whitening and veneers. A key aspect of Great Expressions Dental Centers' approach is their commitment to patient convenience and satisfaction. They aim to consolidate various dental needs under one network, simplifying treatment plans and financial management for patients. They accept numerous insurance plans and also offer alternative financing options, including their "Smile Protection Plan" for individuals and families, designed to make dental care more affordable. The organization emphasizes a patient-centered approach, focusing on creating a welcoming and comfortable environment and continuously improving services based on patient feedback. While striving for clinical excellence, GEDC also prioritizes health and safety. Their locations often exceed infection control standards set by governing agencies, and they perform daily and weekly testing of sterilization equipment. They have been recognized for their commitment to infection control, receiving awards like the Summit Compliance Award. Over the years, Great Expressions Dental Centers has experienced significant growth, expanding its footprint through both organic growth and strategic acquisitions. They employ a large team of dentists, hygienists, and support staff, dedicated to providing a comprehensive and seamless dental experience.
