Absolute Dental

What Absolute Dental does

Absolute Dental is a privately held, multi-location dental practice group headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, founded in 2006 and operating 50+ offices across the state. Its footprint is heavily concentrated in the Las Vegas Valley (~40 locations, including Henderson and North Las Vegas) with a secondary presence in Reno, Sparks, Carson City, and Minden, supported by a 251–500 employee base. The company runs a direct-to-consumer, professional-services model in which patients access care through walk-ins (especially for emergencies), phone bookings, online scheduling, or a dedicated hotline.

Its service portfolio covers the full dental care continuum: general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics (metal, ceramic, clear, Invisalign), cosmetic dentistry (veneers, whitening, bonding, cosmetic Botox), oral surgery (including wisdom teeth and implants), periodontics, endodontics, sedation dentistry, dentures, bridges, crowns, teledentistry/virtual screenings, and senior dental services. Differentiated elements include in-house specialists reducing referral leakage, same-day emergency access without prior appointment, a dedicated pediatric-only sub-brand ("Absolute Dental Kids") at multiple locations, and a proprietary Smile Saver membership program targeting uninsured patients. Revenue is generated through direct patient fees, insurance reimbursements across most major carriers (Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental, MetLife, United Healthcare, Humana, Guardian, Medicaid, and Nevada-specific plans including Health Plan of Nevada), and the Smile Saver membership. The company also faces a pending $3.3 million class action settlement over a 2025 data incident.
