Scheduling Open: The Aspen Group's Day of Service to Provide Free Dental Care to Veterans at Aspen Dental Offices Nationwide on Nov. 7

ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers join Day of Service for the first time, donating up to $1 million in free full-arch treatment to veterans referred by Aspen Dental doctors

CHICAGO, Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Starting today, veterans can schedule appointments for Aspen Dental's signature Day of Service, where more than 550 participating offices will open their doors to provide free care across the country. For the first time, ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers will join the effort, donating up to $1 million in free full-arch treatment to veterans. Aspen Dental and ClearChoice are both part of The Aspen Group (TAG), whose mission is to remove the barriers standing between someone and the care that changes their life.

Advance appointments are required, and appointments are expected to fill quickly. Veterans can find a participating office and schedule at aspendental.com/dayofservice or by calling 844-277-3646 (844-ASPEN-HMM).

"Every appointment on Nov. 7 is a chance to get a veteran out of pain, restore confidence and thank them for their service," said Bob Fontana, Founder, Chairman and CEO, The Aspen Group. "This year, the doctors and teams across Aspen Dental and ClearChoice have been preparing for months to welcome veterans into a friendly environment where they can feel at ease, and for some, take home a new smile that changes what comes next."

Serving Those Who Serve Us

While millions of veterans rely on the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs for healthcare, only about one in four of the nearly nine million veterans enrolled in VA health care qualifies for VA dental benefits, leaving many without regular access to the care they need. Behind those numbers are people whose health, confidence and quality of life can change through something as fundamental as a trip to the dentist.

During Day of Service, Aspen Dental doctors and their teams focus on treating each patient's most urgent needs. Care begins with a limited exam and X-rays, and may include a filling, extraction, basic cleaning or denture repair, with the first priority of getting veterans out of pain and connecting them with resources for ongoing dental needs.

ClearChoice Joins Day of Service

In the 21 markets with a participating ClearChoice Dental Implant Center, an Aspen Dental doctor will identify and refer one veteran for a comprehensive evaluation. If fixed full-arch treatment is clinically appropriate, that veteran will receive it at no cost, a level of care that hasn't historically been part of Day of Service. Across participating centers, ClearChoice expects to donate up to $1 million in treatment this year, advancing its own goal of changing one million lives by 2030.

Breaking Down Barriers to Care for Veterans and Beyond

Day of Service marks the first milestone in TAG's five-year, $100 million commitment to expand the Healthy Mouth Movement for veterans and underserved communities nationwide. It's also the first year ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers have joined Aspen Dental in the effort, extending care to veterans whose needs go beyond a routine dental visit.

Both brands work toward the same goal: breaking down the barriers keeping people from care, through programs like the TAG Oral Care Center for Excellence, community partnerships and local office initiatives.

Veterans can visit aspendental.com/dayofservice to find a participating office in their community and schedule an appointment or call 844-277-3646 (844-ASPEN-HMM). Advance appointments are required.
