East Syracuse, N.Y.-based Aspen Dental announced Dec. 19 that its 800th office had opened in Southern Pines, N.C.
The milestone was achieved by Aspen Dental opening nine offices throughout Georgia, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina and Virginia.
"A new Aspen Dental office opens every four days, which is a direct reflection of the shared commitment between Aspen Dental Management and the doctors whose practices we support to help patients get the care they need," said Bob Fontana, chairman and CEO of Aspen Dental Management. "I'm incredibly proud of the work that the doctors and team members do to break down barriers to care and the positive impact they have on the tens of thousands of patients who walk through their doors every single day."
Aspen Dental was founded in 1998. Today, the DSO estimates that around 25,000 patients receive care at an affiliated location each day. The DSO relies entirely on its de novo strategy.
