Mortenson Family Dental

Mortenson Family Dental is a prominent dental clinic that operates as part of Mortenson Dental Partners (MDP), a large dental support organization (DSO) that is uniquely 100% owned by the dentists they support and team members through an employee stock ownership plan. Founded in May 1979 by Dr. Wayne Mortenson and his wife, Sue, in Middletown, Kentucky, Mortenson Family Dental has expanded significantly to over 30 locations across Kentucky, southern Indiana, and the greater Cincinnati area, including the Scottsburg, Indiana branch at 1606 W McClain Ave. Mortenson Family Dental and the broader Mortenson Family of Care network provide a wide array of dental services. These include general dentistry (such as routine cleanings, fillings, extractions, crowns, and bridges), cosmetic dentistry (whitening, veneers), and specialty services. The larger Mortenson Dental Partners network also supports specialized brands like Kid's Dentistree (pediatric dentistry), BracesBracesBraces (orthodontics), and Oral & Facial Surgery Group (oral surgery), ensuring a comprehensive approach to dental care. The organization is committed to a patient-centered philosophy, emphasizing high-quality care, a comfortable environment, and clear communication. Patient reviews frequently highlight the friendly and professional staff, the gentle approach of the dentists, and the welcoming atmosphere. Many patients appreciate the detailed explanations of procedures and the use of modern dental technology, including digital X-rays. They strive to make dental visits as anxiety-free as possible, even offering comfort amenities like neck pillows and headphones at some locations. Beyond clinical care, Mortenson Dental Partners has a strong mission of "improving the lives of others by living our values every day," which include caring for everyone, sharing abundantly, building relationships, and expressing gratitude. This commitment extends to community involvement through the Mortenson Charitable Foundation, established in 2008 by the founder and his wife, which supports educational and healthcare initiatives, particularly for children. They also engage in community support through free dentistry days and participation in international dental mission trips.
