Mortenson Family Dental

Mortenson Family Dental is a prominent dental clinic operating under the umbrella of Mortenson Dental Partners (MDP). MDP is unique in that it is the largest dental support organization (DSO) owned entirely by the dentists it supports and its team members through an employee stock ownership plan. Established in 1979 by Dr. O. Wayne Mortenson, what began as a single practice in Middletown, Kentucky, has grown to support over 140 dental practices across nine states, including Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Utah, Iowa, Nebraska, Texas, Georgia, and South Carolina. The Independence, KY location, situated at 2052 Harris Pike #54, is one of their many branches dedicated to providing a wide range of dental services. Mortenson Family Dental emphasizes a patient-centric approach, aiming to create a comfortable and welcoming environment, particularly for those who experience dental anxiety. They offer general family dentistry, pediatric dentistry, cosmetic dentistry (including teeth whitening, fillings, crowns, bridges, and veneers), dental hygiene services, and emergency dental care. Their services extend to specialized care through their "Mortenson Family of Care," which includes Kid's Dentistree for pediatric care, Braces Braces Braces for orthodontics, and Oral & Facial Surgery Group for oral surgery. The organization prides itself on its commitment to its mission: "to improve the lives of others every day." This mission is upheld through their core values of caring for everyone, sharing abundantly, building relationships, and expressing gratitude. Beyond clinical care, Mortenson Dental Partners is actively involved in community outreach. In 2008, Dr. O. Wayne Mortenson and his wife, Sue, established the Mortenson Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization that supports educational and healthcare initiatives, with a special focus on children. They also offer a Team Member Relief Fund and provide scholarships for team members and their families. Many of their supported practices hold free dentistry days and participate in international mission trips to offer dental care to underserved populations. Patients often praise Mortenson Family Dental for its compassionate staff, modern technology, and ability to make dental visits a positive experience for both adults and children.
