Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a well-known dental support organization (DSO) that provides administrative and operational support services to a network of over 1,100 independently owned dental offices across the United States. Although the individual practices are owned by licensed dentists, they operate under the Aspen Dental brand, which is managed by the parent company, The Aspen Group (TAG). This business model allows individual dentists to focus on patient care while the DSO handles the non-clinical aspects of the business, such as marketing, billing, staffing, and technology. The organization's founding mission is to make Dental care more accessible and affordable, particularly for individuals who may not have a regular dental provider or who face financial barriers to care. Aspen Dental clinics, including the location in Biddeford, Maine, offer a comprehensive suite of dental services. These range from general dentistry like cleanings, checkups, and fillings to more specialized services. Some of the key services provided include: dentures: Aspen Dental is well-known for its custom denture solutions, often created in onsite labs for faster turnaround. dental implants: They offer permanent tooth replacement solutions to restore a patient's smile and dental function. Teeth Straightening: The clinics provide orthodontic options, including their own brand of removable clear aligners, Motto®. Oral Surgery: This includes common procedures such as tooth extractions and wisdom teeth removal. Emergency Care: The clinics are often able to accommodate same-day appointments for dental emergencies like severe pain or broken teeth. To make care more affordable, Aspen Dental accepts most dental insurance plans and also offers an in-house savings plan, which provides discounts on various services. Additionally, the company has initiatives like the "Healthy Mouth Movement" and the TAG Oral Care Center for Excellence, which provide free dental care to veterans and underserved communities.
