Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Great Expressions (also presented as Great Expressions Dental Center) operates a network of family dental offices serving both adult and pediatric patients. Its service lines span general and preventive dentistry — exams, X-rays and diagnosis, fluoride treatments, composite fillings, cleanings, preventive gum therapy through hygiene, and oral cancer screenings — as well as restorative and cosmetic treatment such as teeth whitening, cosmetic dentistry, and dental implants supporting crowns, bridges, and full or partial dentures.

The network also provides specialty care: periodontal treatment for gingivitis and other gum disease, endodontic treatment including root canals, oral and maxillofacial surgery for impacted wisdom teeth and teeth damaged by disease, trauma or crowding (including extractions and implant placement), orthodontics, children's dentistry, and Invisalign clear aligner treatment delivered by trained in-office dentists rather than by mail order. Emergency dental services are described as available at all hours. Affordability is addressed through the Smile Protection Plan, a membership offering that the company states can save members up to 60 percent on dental treatment per year and includes a free exam and one set of X-rays per family member.

Business model

Great Expressions delivers dental care through a network of physical dental offices staffed by general dentists, hygienists, and specialists including periodontists, endodontists, oral surgeons, and orthodontists. Patients locate and book appointments at nearby offices via an online office locator and scheduling tool, and the company also markets a paid membership discount plan as an alternative payment option for treatment.

Revenue comes from fees for dental treatment across general, cosmetic, and specialty services, plus membership fees for the Smile Protection Plan discount program.

Traction

The company's website reports 42 years of service to its communities, more than 4.8 million patients served, and roughly 75,700 five-star patient reviews.
