Aspen Dentaldentist in Fort Myers, FL

Aspen Dental is an American dental support organization (DSO) that provides business and administrative support services to a network of independently owned dental practices. The company, founded in 1998, is part of a larger parent company called The Aspen Group (TAG). Its business model focuses on managing the non-clinical aspects of a dental practice, such as marketing, human resources, accounting, and technology, allowing dentists to concentrate on patient care. Aspen Dental clinics offer a wide range of dental services, making them a one-stop-shop for many patients. This includes general dentistry services like cleanings, check-ups, and fillings, as well as more specialized procedures. They are particularly known for providing dentures and dental implants, with on-site labs often available to expedite the process. Other services include cosmetic dentistry (veneers, teeth whitening), oral surgery (tooth extractions, wisdom tooth removal), and periodontal disease treatment. The brand also offers clear aligners through its Motto brand. The company's mission is to break down barriers to dental care, particularly for individuals who may not have a regular dentist or who face financial obstacles. Aspen Dental aims to make dental care more accessible and affordable by accepting most insurance plans and offering financing options through third-party credit cards. Many of their offices are conveniently located in shopping centers, and they welcome emergency and walk-in appointments. A significant aspect of the Aspen Dental model is its Practice Ownership Program, which provides a structured pathway for dentists to become business owners with the support of the larger organization. This model allows for a consistent patient experience across its multiple locations while the clinical decisions remain with the independent dentists.
