Mortenson Family Dental

Mortenson Family Dental is a prominent dental brand operating as a Dental Support Organization (DSO), with its roots tracing back to 1979 when Dr. Wayne Mortenson and his wife, Sue, established the first practice in Middletown, Kentucky. Over the years, the organization has expanded significantly, now supporting over 140 dental practices across nine states, including Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Utah, Iowa, Nebraska, Texas, Georgia, and South Carolina. What sets Mortenson Dental Partners (MDP) apart is its unique ownership structure; it is entirely owned by the dentists they support and their team members through an employee stock ownership plan, rather than private equity. The brand is known for providing comprehensive family dental care, aiming to create a comfortable and welcoming environment for patients of all ages. Their services span a wide array of dental needs, including general dentistry (cleanings, fillings, root canals, extractions, dentures, X-rays, full dental exams), pediatric dentistry (fluoride, cleanings, fillings, sealants, extractions, stainless steel crowns, pulpotomies), dental hygiene (routine cleanings, hygiene instruction, scaling and root planings), cosmetic dentistry (teeth whitening, cosmetic fillings, crowns, bridges, veneers, cosmetic tooth contouring), and emergency dentistry (abscesses, dental infections, tooth pain, broken teeth, swelling, denture repairs). Mortenson Family Dental emphasizes a patient-first approach, with many reviews highlighting their courteous staff, relaxed environment, and ability to ease anxious patients. They also incorporate modern dental technology, such as digital X-rays, to enhance efficiency and patient comfort. Beyond the "Mortenson Family Dental" brand, MDP also supports specialty practices under names like Oral & Facial Surgery Group, BracesBracesBraces, and Kid's Dentistree, demonstrating their commitment to diverse dental care needs. They work with various insurance providers and offer payment arrangements to ensure accessibility for a broad range of patients. The Outer Loop location in Louisville, KY, is one of their numerous offices.
