Planmeca announces partnership with The Aspen Group to deliver premium imaging technology for US-wide network of dental practices

Planmeca and The Aspen Group (TAG), one of the largest and fastest-growing retail healthcare business support organisations in the United States, announced a new partnership on 15 October 2025. The goal of the partnership is to further improve patient experiences at Aspen Dental® locations around the country through the integration of Planmeca’s advanced digital imaging technologies.

Following a rigorous evaluation process, Planmeca Viso® and Planmeca ProMax® 3D imaging units were selected, along with Planmeca ProX™, Planmeca ProSensor® HD, and Planmeca ProX™ GO 2D intraoral imaging systems, to be integrated across Aspen Dental’s network of more than 1,100 locations.

The CBCT imaging units feature Planmeca CALM® technology, which minimises retakes caused by patient movement, delivering a faster, more efficient experience for patients. Additional benefits include a larger diagnostic field of view and Planmeca Ultra Low Dose™ imaging protocol for enhanced safety.

Beyond hardware, Aspen Dental will implement the Planmeca Romexis® all-in-one dental imaging software platform and the Planmeca Insights™ IoT solution to unlock real-time device data. The IoT solution allows Aspen Dental locations to monitor equipment performance, perform predictive maintenance, and make data-driven decisions to enhance operational efficiency and clinical workflows. Henry Schein, Inc. will manage the delivery, installation, and ongoing support of the Planmeca equipment and software.

"Henry Schein and Planmeca have a shared commitment to providing practitioners with high-quality, innovative solutions that ultimately enhance patient care," says Steven Kizy, Vice President and General Manager of Henry Schein’s US Dental Group. "We are pleased to provide our combined offering to Aspen Dental’s network of over 1,100 dental offices."

Planmeca has previously partnered with another TAG brand, delivering imaging solutions to over 100 ClearChoice Dental Implant Center® locations. At ClearChoice, Planmeca Viso 3D imaging unit has become the centrepiece of digital treatment planning thanks to its AI-enhanced imaging capabilities and low-dose imaging protocols for enhanced safety.

"Planmeca imaging units are globally recognised for their exceptional performance and reliability. Our main goal is to provide dental professionals worldwide with cutting-edge technology that supports accurate diagnostics, optimises treatment planning, and elevates patient care," says Heikki Kyöstilä, President, CEO and Founder of Planmeca Group. "We are honoured that The Aspen Group has selected our solutions to enhance patient experiences across the United States. This partnership reflects our strong commitment to the U.S. dental community, and we are excited to expand our support for dental practices and radiology centres nationwide with the latest advancements in imaging technology."

"We are proud to expand our partnership with The Aspen Group and that they chose to place their confidence in the Planmeca solution,” stated Planmeca USA President Glen Kendrick. "Our experience working with the teams at ClearChoice – from the first installation to the growth of their 100th location – has been positive, enabling them to uphold the high standards of their brand."

"At Aspen Dental, we are committed to providing clinicians access to the most advanced tools and technologies available. Partnering with Planmeca ensures that every practice under Aspen Dental brand is equipped with state-of-the-art imaging solutions that enhance diagnostic precision, streamline clinical workflows, and support doctors in delivering high quality dental care," says Dr Arwinder Judge, Chief Clinical Officer at Aspen Dental. "The investment reflects Aspen's ongoing mission to empower doctors with the resources they need to provide exceptional dentistry to their patients."
