Comfort Dental

Comfort Dental is a prominent dental franchise, recognized as one of the largest and most successful dental organizations globally. It was founded in 1977 by Dr. Rick A. Kushner with a clear mission to make quality Dental care accessible and affordable for everyone. This commitment is evident in their widespread acceptance of various insurance plans, including being one of the largest dental Medicaid providers. With over 150 independently owned and operated offices across 10 states in the United States, Comfort Dental offers a comprehensive range of dental services. These typically include general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, family dentistry, emergency care, dental implants, fillings, crowns, bridges, teeth whitening, orthodontics (including Invisalign), dentures, root canals, wisdom tooth removal, porcelain veneers, periodontal treatment, and pediatric dentistry. Many locations also emphasize "comfort dentistry" through options like nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and other sedation methods to alleviate patient anxiety. Comfort Dental differentiates itself by focusing on convenient hours, often being open evenings and Saturdays, and welcoming new patients and emergencies. While each office is independently owned by licensed dentists who are owner/partners in their practices, the overarching brand provides standardized protocols and a consistent approach to patient care, focusing on affordability and high-quality work. The organization also engages in community initiatives, such as "Care Day" where franchisees offer free dental care on Christmas Day.
