Two Elite DSOs Celebrate Four Major Milestones

Western Dental & Orthodontics just celebrated the opening of its 200th office in California, and Aspen Dental recently celebrated its 700th Aspen Dental branded office, as well as its 20th anniversary and the 15th location for a practice owner.

ASPEN DENTAL
Aspen Dental, the largest branded network of dental offices in the U.S., caring for more than 1.7 million patients in 2017, just celebrated a major milestone with the opening of the 700th Aspen Dental branded office in Nokomis, Florida. This practice opening was also the 15th location for practice owner Dr. Dustin Dixon. This opening brings the total number of locations for the DSO in Florida to 80, once again expanding access to care in the Sunshine State.

The milestone is even more poignant because it comes as Aspen Dental celebrates its 20th anniversary.
