Mortenson Family Dental

Mortenson Family Dental is a prominent dental brand that operates as part of Mortenson Dental Partners (MDP), one of the largest dental support organizations in the United States. Established in 1979 by Dr. Wayne Mortenson and his wife, Sue, in Middletown, Kentucky, the organization has grown significantly to support nearly 140 dental practices across nine states, including Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Utah, Iowa, Nebraska, Texas, Georgia, and South Carolina. Uniquely, MDP is entirely owned by the dentists they support and their team members through an employee stock ownership plan, distinguishing them from private equity-owned DSOs. Mortenson Family Dental aims to provide comprehensive dental services to patients of all ages. Their service offerings typically include general dentistry (checkups, cleanings, fillings), cosmetic dentistry, orthodontics (including braces and clear aligners), pediatric dentistry, and oral surgery. They are committed to utilizing modern dental technology to enhance patient comfort and treatment efficiency, such as digital X-rays. A core philosophy of Mortenson Family Dental is to create a welcoming and comfortable environment for patients, particularly addressing dental anxiety. Many locations feature kid-friendly amenities like play areas to make dental visits more enjoyable for children. Patient testimonials often highlight the friendly and caring staff, personalized approach to treatment, and efforts made to explain procedures clearly. While Mortenson Family Dental is a significant part of the MDP network, the larger organization also supports other specialized brands like Kid's Dentistree (pediatric), BracesBracesBraces (orthodontics), and Oral & Facial Surgery Group, offering a wide spectrum of dental care under one "Mortenson Family of Care" umbrella.
