Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a prominent brand in the dental industry, operating as a network of over 1,100 independently owned and operated dental practices across the United States. While individual practices are owned by licensed dentists, Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI), a dental support organization (DSO) under The Aspen Group (TAG), provides comprehensive administrative, business, and marketing support services. This model aims to alleviate the business management burden from dentists, allowing them to focus primarily on delivering patient care. Aspen Dental clinics offer a wide range of dental services, catering to diverse oral health needs. These services include general dentistry (exams, cleanings, fillings, teeth whitening), a strong emphasis on various types of dentures (full, partial, implant-supported), dental implants for tooth replacement, and specialty services such as oral surgery (extractions, wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting) and endodontics (root canal therapy). They also provide clear aligner solutions like Motto® clear aligners. The brand's mission is to break down barriers to dental care, particularly for individuals who may not have a regular dentist or face financial obstacles. Many Aspen Dental locations are strategically placed in "dental deserts" or underserved communities. They offer various financing options and payment plans, and their dentures come with industry-leading warranties and a money-back guarantee. Aspen Dental also engages in community initiatives like the "Healthy Mouth Movement," providing free dental care to U.S. veterans and underserved populations. While generally well-regarded for accessibility and comprehensive services, some past reviews have raised concerns regarding pricing transparency and treatment recommendations. However, recent patient reviews for the Benton Harbor, MI location indicate positive experiences with staff professionalism and effective treatment.
