California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced a settlement with Aspen Dental Management Inc. for violating the corporate practice of dentistry ban and misleading advertising. Aspen Dental, operating as a dental support organization since 2019, allegedly interfered in dental practices and misrepresented services and pricing. The settlement includes $2 million in penalties, restitution for patients, and various injunctions to ensure compliance, such as prohibiting the company from owning practices and requiring clear identification of practice owners in advertisements.
