Detailed Introduction
Mortenson Family Dental is a prominent dental clinic brand that operates as part of Mortenson Dental Partners (MDP), a distinguished dental support organization (DSO) entirely owned by the dentists and team members it supports through an employee stock ownership plan. Established in 1979 by Dr. Wayne Mortenson and his wife, Sue, in Middletown, Kentucky, Mortenson Family Dental has grown significantly to encompass over 30 locations across Kentucky, southern Indiana, and the greater Cincinnati area. MDP as a whole supports nearly 140 dental practices across nine states, including Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Utah, Iowa, Nebraska, Texas, Georgia, and South Carolina.
Mortenson Family Dental offers a comprehensive suite of dental services to cater to diverse patient needs. These services typically include general dentistry (routine checkups, cleanings), restorative dentistry (fillings, crowns, bridges), cosmetic dentistry, and often includes access to specialized care such as pediatric dentistry (Kid's Dentistree), orthodontics (Braces Braces Braces), and oral and maxillofacial surgery (Oral & Facial Surgery Group) through their network of supported practices within the Mortenson Family of Care. They emphasize providing high-quality oral healthcare in a relaxing and anxiety-free environment, with a strong focus on patient comfort and personalized approaches. Online scheduling is available for new patients, and they also offer the Smiles360 Dental Savings Club for those without insurance.
Beyond their clinical services, Mortenson Family Dental, through Mortenson Dental Partners, is deeply committed to community involvement and philanthropy. In 2008, Dr. Wayne and Sue Mortenson established the Mortenson Charitable Foundation, a certified 501(c)(3) organization. This foundation contributes to educational and healthcare needs in communities, with a particular emphasis on supporting children. They participate in fundraising efforts like the annual Smiles for Life campaign and have a Team Member Relief Fund that provides crisis relief and educational scholarships to their employees. Many supported practices also host free dentistry days and participate in dental mission trips, further demonstrating their dedication to improving lives within and beyond their immediate communities. Patient reviews often highlight the friendly and skilled staff, short wait times, and the comfortable, gentle approach of their dentists.
