Detailed Introduction

Mortenson Family Dental is a prominent dental clinic brand that operates under the umbrella of Mortenson Dental Partners (MDP), a significant dental support organization (DSO) in the United States. MDP is unique in that it is 100% owned by the dentists they support and their team members through an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP). The origins of Mortenson Family Dental trace back to 1979 when Dr. Wayne Mortenson and his wife, Sue, established their first practice in Middletown, Kentucky. Since then, the organization has experienced substantial growth, expanding to over 140 practices across nine states, including Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Utah, Iowa, Nebraska, Texas, Georgia, and South Carolina. While MDP supports various dental practice brands, Mortenson Family Dental remains a core part of their network, with a strong presence in Kentucky, southern Indiana, and the greater Cincinnati area. Mortenson Family Dental offers a comprehensive suite of dental services to cater to diverse patient needs. These services include general dentistry (such as routine checkups and cleanings), cosmetic dentistry, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics (including braces and clear aligners), and oral surgery. They emphasize a patient-centered approach, aiming to provide exceptional care in a comfortable and welcoming environment. Patient reviews frequently highlight the staff's professionalism, empathy, and the clinic's use of modern dental technology. Some locations even offer kid-friendly play areas to make dental visits more pleasant for younger patients. As part of Mortenson Dental Partners, Mortenson Family Dental benefits from a robust support structure that allows dentists to focus on clinical care while administrative tasks are managed centrally. The organization is committed to the professional development of its dentists, offering free continuing education, mentorship opportunities, and benefits like company-paid malpractice insurance and financial planning assistance. Their dedication extends to the community, with a strong emphasis on improving oral health and making quality dental care accessible. The Mortenson family has also been a significant philanthropic donor to the University of Louisville School of Dentistry, contributing to the education of future dental professionals.

I hate to leave a bad review simply because TEDDY their denturist is so amazing. He is an artist who truly knows what he is doing. Dr. Patel on the other hand… was simply hateful and brutal to me. She ripped my mouth apart doing simple fillings. I have had 3 techs and a dentist tell me that there was no excuse for the inordinate amount of damage done to my mouth.

May face was swollen and bruised for days in addition to the internal damage. It’s been over a year and my mouth STILL hurts from time to time. I have some thoughts on why this occurred but I will keep them to myself. AND… after all that the fillings FELL OUT within a week! The rest of the staff are great. Sorry for the pics but this is reality. Pics of Teddys amazing work as well…

Very nice staff! They work very well with my two young children. Dr. Patel always thoroughly answers any questions I have. Recommend for children and adults.

I came here the first time last year, after not having been to the dentist in a while. I wasn’t able to afford it until I had dental insurance. Then when I got it I knew I had to go somewhere but I was so embarrassed about my teeth because I knew they were riddled with problems and it made me want to never go. I also have terrible dental anxiety to boot. I finally came here because I knew I couldn’t wait any longer.

As expected I had a lot of problems I needed to address. From the first appointment there was no outward judgement or condemnation about how I got to this point. It was all black and white about what I needed to do to get better. Also encouragement when we saw improvement in my gum health. I’ve been to MANY appointments, worked with many staff and have yet to have a bad experience.

I moved from 5 to 45 minutes away from this office but I wouldn’t dream of changing. They were very transparent about any charges and pricing and also treatments which alleviated so much anxiety. Now when I go to the dentist I don’t panic like I used to lol. So grateful to have randomly picked this place and I hope you know you can pick it too! This is your sign to go back to the dentist if you haven’t been in a while and know you need to go!

I took my twins here for their dental appointment, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. The office was very clean and welcoming, and the staff were all so kind and professional. The dental assistant and the doctor took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure both my kids felt comfortable throughout the visit. The team exceeded my expectations.
