Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental - Traverse City, MI is a local branch of the extensive Aspen Dental network, which is supported by Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI). Founded in 1998, Aspen Dental has grown to become one of the largest branded dental organizations globally, with over 1,100 locations across the United States. While each Aspen Dental office is independently owned by licensed dentists, ADMI provides comprehensive administrative, operational, and marketing support, allowing dentists to focus primarily on patient care. The core mission of Aspen Dental is to break down barriers to dental care, focusing on accessibility, affordability, and transparency. They aim to serve individuals who may not have a regular dental provider or face financial constraints in accessing care. The Traverse City location, like others in the network, offers a broad spectrum of dental services, including general dentistry (check-ups, cleanings, fillings), Cosmetic Dentistry (teeth whitening, veneers, clear aligners like Motto®), and specialized treatments such as Oral Surgery (extractions, wisdom teeth removal, dental implants) and endodontics (root canals). Aspen Dental emphasizes a patient-first approach, providing personalized treatment plans and discussing various payment options, including dental insurance, financing plans, and their own Aspen Dental Savings Plan. They aim to make the dental experience as comfortable as possible, addressing patient concerns about pain and anxiety. The company also has a strong commitment to community outreach, notably through initiatives like the "Healthy Mouth Movement," which provides free dental care to veterans and those in need. Aspen Dental operates under a Dental Support Organization (DSO) model, which handles the business aspects of the practice, enabling dentists to focus on clinical excellence and patient outcomes.
