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 dental practices across the United States. Founded in 1998, its headquarters are in Chicago, Illinois. The organization's core mission is to break down barriers to quality, affordable oral healthcare, particularly for individuals who may not have an existing relationship with a dental provider or face financial constraints. The "Aspen Dental" brand encompasses approximately 1100 dental offices nationwide, each independently owned by licensed dentists. This model allows dentists to focus primarily on patient care while Aspen Dental Management, Inc. (ADMI) handles the business aspects, such as marketing, accounting, billing, and training. This structure is becoming increasingly common in the dental industry. Aspen Dental offers a comprehensive array of dental services, catering to a wide range of patient needs. These services typically include routine check-ups and cleanings, X-rays, fillings, extractions, crowns, bridges, dentures (with an emphasis on offering various styles and on-site labs for quick repairs and delivery), dental implants, and emergency dental care. They also offer clear aligners through their "Motto" brand. A notable initiative is the "Healthy Mouth Movement," where Aspen Dental practices provide free dental care to underserved populations, including veterans. The Aspen Dental location in Huber Heights, OH, at 8321 Old Troy Pike, is part of this extensive network. It aims to provide accessible and high-quality dental services to the Huber Heights community and surrounding areas like Dayton, Tipp City, and New Carlisle. Patient reviews for the Huber Heights location often highlight the friendly and professional staff, efficient service for urgent needs like extractions, and a commitment to patient comfort and understanding of treatment plans. While a corporate model, the individual practices aim to maintain a local, patient-focused approach, with dentists making independent clinical decisions. They strive to work with various insurance providers and offer flexible financing options to make dental care more manageable for patients.
