Refresh Dental

Refresh Dental is a prominent brand in the dental industry, operating a network of dental practices across multiple states, including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and Massachusetts. Their core philosophy centers on a "Total Health Philosophy," which emphasizes the integral connection between oral health and overall systemic well-being. This approach often involves taking vitals at every appointment, integrating with patients' primary medical providers when necessary, and educating patients on the link between dental and general health. The brand offers a wide spectrum of dental services designed to cater to diverse patient needs. These services include, but are not limited to: General Dentistry: Routine check-ups, cleanings, fillings (including tooth-colored composites), and fluoride treatments. Preventive Care: Dental sealants, mouthguards, and halitosis treatment. Restorative Dentistry: Crowns, bridges, dentures (full and partial), inlays, onlays, root canal therapy, and dental implants. Cosmetic Dentistry: Professional teeth whitening (in-office and take-home trays), and Invisalign® invisible braces. Oral Surgery: Extractions, including wisdom teeth removal, and bone grafts. Specialty Services: Many Refresh Dental locations offer a "One Dental Home" concept, where general dentists and specialists (like periodontists, oral surgeons, and orthodontists) collaborate on treatment plans under one roof, simplifying scheduling and billing for patients. Refresh Dental prides itself on a patient-centric approach. They strive for convenience, offering same-day appointments and having many locations with flexible hours, including some weekend appointments. They also leverage advanced technology, such as AI-powered X-ray analysis (like Overjet AI), to enhance diagnostic accuracy and patient understanding of their oral health. Accessibility and affordability are key considerations for Refresh Dental. They accept virtually all major insurance plans and provide various financing options, including third-party financing solutions (like CareCredit, Proceed Finance, and Alphaeon Credit) and their own "Smile Care Dental Savings Plan." Historically, Refresh Dental Management emerged from the initial efforts of Ken Cooper and Dr. Andrew Matta in the late 2000s and early 2010s, focusing on helping dental practices improve patient care by reducing administrative burdens. This entity eventually became part of the larger North American Dental Group (NADG), which was acquired by Jacobs Holding in 2019. This demonstrates Refresh Dental's connection to a larger organizational structure while maintaining its distinct patient care philosophy.
