Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a prominent dental support organization (DSO) that provides business, administrative, and marketing support to a network of more than 1,000 independently owned and operated dental practices across the United States. The company was founded in 1998 and is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. While the individual clinics, such as the one in Bristol, CT, are owned by licensed dentists, they operate under the Aspen Dental brand and benefit from the organization's business model. This model is designed to alleviate the non-clinical responsibilities for dentists, allowing them to focus on patient care. The Aspen Dental office in Bristol, CT, located at 1128 Farmington Avenue, is a full-service dental clinic that offers a comprehensive array of services. Patients can receive general dentistry services like routine check-ups, cleanings, fillings, and treatments for gum disease. The clinic also specializes in more complex procedures, including oral surgery, tooth extractions, bone grafting, and root canals. For patients in need of restorative or cosmetic treatments, the Bristol location provides options such as dentures, dental implants, crowns, bridges, veneers, and teeth whitening. A key aspect of Aspen Dental's business model is its focus on making dental care more accessible and affordable, particularly for individuals who may not have a regular dentist or face financial barriers. The company accepts most insurance plans and offers various financing options, including its own savings plan. They are known for providing a detailed, written estimate of treatment costs before any procedures begin. The Bristol office, like others in the network, also provides emergency dental care and has participated in community initiatives like the "Healthy Mouth Movement," which offers free dental services to veterans and underserved populations.
