Aspen Dental

Aspen Dental is a prominent American dental support organization (DSO) that provides administrative and business support services to a vast network of independently owned and operated Aspen Dental-branded dental practices. While each practice is individually owned by licensed dentists who make their own clinical decisions, they all operate under the Aspen Dental brand and share a commitment to similar values and services. Aspen Dental aims to make dental care accessible and affordable, particularly for individuals who may not have an established relationship with a dental provider or face financial barriers to care. They offer a wide array of dental services, including General dentistry (check-ups, cleanings, fillings, root canals), a comprehensive range of denture options (full, partial, implant-supported, with on-site labs for quick turnaround), Dental implants, and various Oral surgery procedures (extractions, wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting). Additionally, they provide Cosmetic dentistry services such as teeth whitening, veneers, and clear aligners (Motto® clear aligners). The organization emphasizes patient convenience, offering same-day appointments and flexible hours at many of its over 1,100 locations across the United States. They also work with most insurance providers and offer third-party financing options to help manage costs. Aspen Dental is also known for its community initiatives, such as the "Healthy Mouth Movement," which provides free dental care to U.S. veterans. While the model is designed to streamline the business aspects for dentists, allowing them to focus on patient care, it's important to note that the actual dental treatment is provided by the independent dentists and their teams at each location.
