3.1 Glassdoor

When you say “Yes” to Aspen Dental, you get a great career and so much more. From mentors invested in your success, to a support network that has your back, joining Aspen Dental can give you the career you never imagined and the financial well-being to live the life you always wanted. When we launched Aspen Dental, we set out to break down the barriers that made it hard for patients to keep up withtheir dental health—affordability, transparency, and access. We knew the key to better patient care started with the provider, so we changed how the dental business worked. We built new relationships, expertise, and tools to help dentists run their businesses more effectively and better care for their patients. Fast forward, and over 20 years later, we’ve launched more than 900 Aspen Dental locations—by doing so, I’m proud to say we have changed access to dental care nationwide. But there’s more work to do. Healthier, happier smiles were just our beginning.Aspen Dental now joins a new portfolio of businesses with TAG - The Aspen Group as their parent business support company for our suite of healthcare brands.ABOUT TAG - THE ASPEN GROUPTAG was built on the simple idea of bringing better healthcare to more people.
