Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a large and widespread network of dental clinics operating under a specific business model known as a Dental Support Organization (DSO). Founded in 1998, its mission is to provide accessible and affordable dental care to a broad population, particularly those who may have financial or other barriers to treatment. The company's headquarters is in Chicago, and it supports over 1,100 independently owned dental offices across the United States. Each Aspen Dental office is owned and operated by a licensed dentist, with The Aspen Group (TAG) providing non-clinical support services such as marketing, human resources, and business operations. This allows the dentists to focus on clinical care without the administrative burdens of running a small business. The Kingston, NY location, situated at 1159 Ulster Ave, is part of this extensive network. The services offered at this clinic are comprehensive, covering general dentistry, such as checkups, cleanings, and fillings, as well as more specialized procedures. Patients can receive emergency dental care, as the clinic offers same-day appointments for urgent issues like severe toothaches or broken teeth. The office also provides a full range of restorative and cosmetic treatments, including crowns" class="text-blue-600 hover:underline font-medium">dental crowns, bridges, veneers, dentures, and dental implants.
