Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a large dental support organization (DSO) that provides administrative and business support services to a network of independently owned and operated dental practices across the United States. While the Aspen Dental brand is widespread, it's important to know that each clinic is legally owned by a licensed dentist. The parent company, The Aspen Group (TAG), manages the business side, including marketing, staffing, and billing, which allows the dentists to focus on their clinical work. The Aspen Dental network aims to break down the barriers that prevent people from getting dental care. They do this by offering a comprehensive range of services, flexible hours, and various payment options, including working with third-party lenders for financing. Their goal is to make quality dental care accessible to a broad audience, especially those who may not have a regular dental provider or who face financial challenges. The services offered at Aspen Dental locations are extensive and can often be found under one roof, providing a "one-stop-shop" experience for patients. These services include: General Dentistry: Routine check-ups, cleanings, fillings, and oral health assessments. Restorative Treatments: Procedures like dental crowns, bridges, and root canals to restore damaged or infected teeth. dentures: A wide array of denture options, including full, partial, and implant-supported dentures, often with on-site labs for quicker fabrication and repair. dental implants: A permanent solution for tooth loss, including both single implants and implant-supported dentures. Orthodontics: Teeth straightening using Motto® clear aligners, which are exclusive to Aspen Dental. oral surgery: Services like wisdom tooth removal and tooth extractions. Cosmetic Dentistry: Procedures such as teeth whitening and veneers to improve the appearance of a smile. Aspen Dental is also known for its community involvement, particularly through the "Healthy Mouth Movement." This initiative includes events like the Day of Service, where hundreds of practices provide free dental care to U.S. veterans. They have also opened the TAG Oral Care Center for Excellence, a free dental clinic that serves thousands of underserved patients and provides training for their dental teams.
