Mortenson Family Dental

Mortenson Family Dental is a prominent dental clinic brand that originated in 1979 by Dr. Wayne Mortenson and his wife, Sue, in Middletown, Kentucky. It has since grown significantly, becoming a part of Mortenson Dental Partners (MDP), which is described as the largest dental support organization entirely owned by the dentists and team members it supports through an employee stock ownership plan. Mortenson Family Dental specifically operates over 30 locations, serving patients across Kentucky, southern Indiana, and the greater Cincinnati area, with a presence in nine states under the larger MDP umbrella. The clinics aim to provide high-quality, comprehensive dental care, encompassing a wide range of services for the entire family. These services include general dentistry (routine cleanings, fillings, crowns, bridges, extractions, gum therapy), cosmetic dentistry (whitening, veneers, clear aligners), and potentially more specialized services depending on the location, sometimes leveraging other brands within the Mortenson Family of Care like Kid's Dentistree (pediatric dentistry), BracesBracesBraces (orthodontics), and Oral & Facial Surgery Group (oral surgery). A core philosophy emphasized by Mortenson Family Dental and its parent organization is patient-centric care. They strive to create a comfortable and relaxing environment, utilizing modern dental technology, such as digital X-rays, and offering amenities like comfort menus (neck pillows, headphones, sunglasses) at some locations. Patient reviews frequently highlight the friendly and professional staff, the thoroughness of care, and the ability of the team to ease patient anxiety, particularly for those who have a fear of dental visits. Many reviews also commend their efficiency and flexible scheduling options, including online scheduling for new and existing patients. Beyond patient care, Mortenson Dental Partners, which includes the Mortenson Family Dental brand, demonstrates a strong commitment to community involvement through the Mortenson Charitable Foundation. This 501(c)(3) organization contributes to educational and healthcare needs, with a particular focus on helping children. They participate in fundraising campaigns like "Smiles for Life" and also support their team members through a relief fund and educational scholarships. Furthermore, many supported practices hold free dentistry days and participate in international mission trips to provide care to underserved populations. This dedication to both patient well-being and community impact defines their overall approach to dentistry.
