Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a prominent American dental support organization (DSO) that provides comprehensive business and administrative support services to a vast network of independently owned and operated Aspen Dental-branded dental practices across the United States. Founded in 1998, Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI) aims to make quality Dental care more accessible and affordable for a broad patient base, particularly those who may not have a regular dental provider or face financial hurdles to treatment. The organization's philosophy centers on a patient-first approach, emphasizing transparency in treatment plans and a wide array of services to meet diverse oral health needs. These services typically include general dentistry, preventative care, dentures, dental implants, crowns, bridges, and other restorative and cosmetic procedures. While individual Aspen Dental practices are independently owned by licensed dentists, they benefit from ADMI's centralized support in areas such as marketing, human resources, payroll, real estate management, procurement, and advanced technology. This model allows dentists to focus primarily on clinical care rather than the complexities of running a business. Aspen Dental is part of The Aspen Group (TAG), a larger healthcare support organization that also encompasses other brands like ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers and WellNow Urgent Care. Aspen Dental locations are often found in areas with a high demand for dental services, sometimes referred to as "dental deserts," aiming to serve communities where access to care might be limited. The company is committed to continuous education and professional development for its affiliated dentists and staff, often providing access to advanced technology, training programs, and a network of specialists. Aspen Dental also has initiatives like the "Healthy Mouth Movement" which offers free dental care to veterans and those in need, demonstrating a commitment to community involvement. Patient testimonials often highlight the accessibility of appointments, comprehensive treatment options, and compassionate care received at Aspen Dental locations.
