About

Aspen Dental is a large network of independently owned and operated dental clinics across the U.S. that are supported by a corporate dental support organization (DSO) called The Aspen Group (TAG). The company's business model focuses on providing comprehensive non-clinical support to dentists, allowing them to focus on patient care. Aspen Dental aims to make dental services accessible and affordable, with locations often in easy-to-reach shopping centers. They offer a wide range of services, including general dentistry, dentures, implants, and specialty care.
Aspen Dental is a prominent American dental brand operating as a network of over 1,100 independently owned and operated dental practices. It's a clinic chain, but its business model is based on the Dental Support Organization (DSO) model. This means that a parent company, The Aspen Group (TAG), provides the administrative, marketing, and operational support to the dental offices, while licensed dentists maintain full clinical autonomy and make all patient care decisions. The company was founded in 1998 with the mission of breaking down barriers to dental care, particularly for individuals who may face financial or geographic challenges. Their clinics are strategically located in accessible areas, such as shopping centers, to make it convenient for patients to get the care they need. Aspen Dental offers a full spectrum of dental services, from routine check-ups and cleanings to more complex procedures. 🦷 They specialize in services like dentures, dental implants, and clear aligners (Motto® clear aligners), and also provide specialty treatments such as oral surgery and endodontics (root canals). A key aspect of Aspen Dental's business is its focus on patient accessibility and affordability. They accept most dental insurance plans and offer various financing options, including a membership plan called the Aspen Dental Savings Plan, which provides discounts on services for an annual fee. This model is designed to help patients who may not have traditional dental insurance. While they have a broad range of services and a widespread presence, Aspen Dental has also been the subject of some criticism. Some patients have reported concerns regarding billing issues, high-pressure sales tactics, and recommendations for extensive or unnecessary treatments. Conversely, many patients have praised the network for its ability to provide prompt care, especially for emergencies, and for its compassionate staff and flexible payment solutions. The company's reputation is often a mix of positive and negative reviews, reflecting its large scale and diverse patient base.

I can't speak highly enough about the Aspen Dental Ft. Lauderdale location and their amazing team! Ale, the hygienist, is an absolute gem, he is friendly with attention to detail. During my first visit, I was so nervous, but by my second visit for a deep cleaning, they went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and felt no pain. I just had my 3-month follow-up routine cleaning, and not only has my dental health improved, but the entire experience was once again fantastic.

I’ve also just started my Motto aligner journey for some subtle smile adjustments with the support of Dr. Attai, and I feel like I’m in the best hands. Full transparency: my brother works for the parent company, but the dentist has always been my least favorite place on earth. I wouldn’t be giving a positive review if they didn’t truly earn it and they absolutely have!

Staff was very friendly, and knowledgeable about what I was being treated for. I’m on vacation, and had to bring my service dog in with me. Everyone was very friendly and understanding. Thank you Aspen Dental :)

I had an amazing experience at Aspen Dental! Dr. Diaz was beyond incredible—kind, professional, and extremely thorough. The entire team at the practice is so caring and welcoming. From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease.

Their service is not only fast but also detailed and efficient. They made sure I was comfortable every step of the way and took the time to explain everything clearly. I truly appreciate the level of care they provide. Highly recommend!

What an amazing experience! I originally went to the office just looking for a regular cleaning, but after a thorough full exam, they informed me about a periodontal condition I had never even heard of before. From the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely cared for. Ale, the hygienist, was exceptional—patient, gentle, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took her time not only to perform the procedure with great care but also to explain every step, showing me exactly what was happening and why it mattered.

Her professionalism and kindness made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. Dr. Diaz was equally outstanding—warm, attentive, and extremely thorough. She explained my treatment options clearly, without rushing, and made sure I understood everything.

Her approachable nature and expertise made me trust that I was in the best possible hands. After completing my treatment, I can honestly say I won’t be going anywhere else. I’ve found the perfect dental office—one where both the hygienist and the doctor truly go above and beyond for their patients
