Since its founding in 1978 by Dr. Glenn Ashmore as a private practice, Dental Depot has remained a family-owned and operated dental practice. Although we have grown over the years, we remain dedicated to preserving our ties to the communities we live and work in, and to treating your family as a part of our own.
Our goal is to provide every patient adults and children alike with the high-quality, affordable dental care they need and deserve. At every Dental Depot location you will experience a clean and relaxing office, friendly staff and highly trained, compassionate doctors, assistants and hygienists. With Dental Depot, you can always count on receiving a common sense approach to your dental needs, and the information required to make an informed decision about your own care.
But Dental Depots commitment to the communities we serve extends beyond our walls. We offer a wide range of community support including: a free dental educational program for area schools; non-profit, educational and community sponsorships (Keep Oklahoma Beautiful); holiday parades and other community events. We feel the biggest reward is the realization that weve made a significant change in someones life and we hope to continue to grow as an integral part of your life and community!
For years, Dental Depot has partnered with local organizations to give back to the communities that we live and work in. Whether its donating food, providing funding for student activities, or even beautifying our cities, we are always looking for ways to help improve the lives of those around us.
The original cottage-style dental practice was very different from the Dental Depots we know and love today. At the height of Oklahoma Citys Oil Boom, and with office space in short supply, Dr. Glenn decided to convert a residential duplex into his first office. The original office was located in the historic Linwood neighborhood at Northwest 23rd Street and Drexel Blvd., which latter came to be home to todays Central OKC location.
Train memorabilia and antiques lined the walls and exterior of the original building, similar to how they do today, complete with a working model train that ran along the wall through the patient operatories. Over the years, these unique features have become synonymous with the name Dental Depot, and its fun and comfortable atmosphere.
Then, in 2001, disaster struck. An electrical fire destroyed much of the internal structure of the office and led to a complete rebuild from the ground up. It was then that the classic 19th century train station architecture was utilized to create the iconic dental depot look. Mustard-yellow slatted exteriors, clay-red roofs, and the lofty clock-tower were all a part of this reconstruction. Whether it is a train running from room to room, or an amazing collection of train memorabilia, there is always something interesting to capture your attention.
Dental depots presence in the Linwood community has been mutually beneficial. Many beautification efforts in the form of new lamp posts, benches, and seasonal landscaping of road medians have been a direct result of the offices presence and community outreach. These efforts have resulted in accolades by the OKC Beautiful organization, a Keep America Beautiful affiliate.

Each year, our teams rally to raise money, food, clothing, and even school supplies for children across Oklahoma. We host a variety of supply drives for local food banks, the YMCA and others. We even host a companywide fundraising event during the month of May in conjunction with Red Nose Day to benefit children living in poverty.

As a contributor to the YMCA of Greater Oklahoma Citys Togetherhood Committee, Dental Depot teams come together to participate in community health fairs and days of family fun, to collect much needed clothing and school supplies for low-income families with children, and to provide support and services for residents of the Pershing Centers transitional housing for people affected by homelessness.
Caring for families who are dealing with health issues is one of the most beloved projects among our team members. Each month, our office teams take turns to spend an evening serving dinner and comfort to families who are dealing with the unthinkable a child undergoing cancer treatment. We also come together as a company each year to pitch in with deep cleaning and organizing at the OK Kids Korral because we believe that these families deserve to have only one focus, their childs recovery.
Often a project of our Culture Committee, our teams choose health-related causes that matter most to them and team up to contribute to research efforts through participation in a variety of walks and other fundraisers, including MS Walk, Miles for Melanoma, NAMI Walks and more.

Kind receptionists but rude dentist (dr case). Bad attitude and didn't care what I wanted for my teeth he just wanted to pull them. Paid 40$ extra for laughing gas and got oxygen (overheard assistant telling dentist he didn't turn in the gas and he said oh well) Norman west location was so much better

My daughter has one decayed tooth and the filling fell out last weekend. We scheduled an appointment with this office and went there from Norman. The staffs are good, quite friendly. That nurse (sorry for not remembering her name) took pictures carefully. Till that moment, we felt good. Then that doctor came and told us 3 teeth needed to be pulled out with my daughter taking shots to keep numb. I was shocked as I heard the result and he did not give any detail and explanation, not trying to save them.Fortunately they couldn't do it and gave me a list of other dental offices which are professional in pediatric dental service and could do the operation. I hesitated a while and didn't make that call since I intuited there could be some repairing on them and maybe I could consulted other offices. So I did and my daughter's 3 teeth are saved at least so far, since the new doctor suggested we keep them as it is,while they don't bother my daughter and may come out naturally some day. He told us If she got hurt, he may take further action. That's seem more reasonable and easy to accept. One star for the diagnosis and one more star for staff service.

Didn't put any effort into my sons first dental visit. Didn't even try to brush his teeth. Assistant seemed unhappy couldn't even hardly smile at my 2 year old. But at least the dentist was kind even though it didn't seem right that he hardy looked at his teeth. I told them he hasn't been using fluoride they went on a whole thing about how that was good then they gave me a pre-made tooth brushing kit and I asked them if he could use the toothpaste with fluoride and he took back everything he said because it was kids toothpaste? Even though it has fluoride and he went on a whole thing about fluoride. Also the assistant called him a girl after we had been saying he the whole visit. I thought maybe she just had a bad day but I saw another review about her attitude as well. So. Do whatever you want with this information but we will be switching locations. Just seemed weird. We were super excited because my son is OBSESSED with trains and loves brushing his teeth.

Worst attitude and professionalism I've ever witnessed. The assistant was so rude until the last 5 minutes of us leaving. I had no time to get a one year old from the train, I told her hold on he's coming inside now from the train & before he even made it in the door she's yelling out my kids names again like she didnt just hear me or see me point to my 1 year old walking up to us. Then once we're in the back she wouldn't give a simple hello , welcome or anything! she might of been late that day because her hair was still dripping wet and pulled back unbrushed so you could tell maybe her morning wasn't the best but she seemed to be mad too. she began to instruct my kids on how to do the dental X-rays. It was the most awkward thing to visit this place assuming it would be a better experience for the kids. The assistant don't seem to want anyone there and couldn't even smile at anyone in my family.

The Dental DREAM TEAM! I dealt with a botched filling from Aspen Dental in Edmond for 2 months. I made an appointment with Dental Depot to assess the pain I was feeling and how it could be fixed. The front office was helpful, friendly, and professional. The facility is very clean and comfortable. They serve children as well so the office is centered on calming nerves and making you comfortable. I was promptly taken back to have x-rays done. The tech was very nice and attentive to how I was feeling. She explained to me what was happening and what she was doing the whole time. After the x-rays and getting settled in a room, it only took about 10 minutes of waiting for Dentist Case to come assess my tooth. He gave it an examination and told me that the only way to fix it is a root canal. They could do it the same day and give me some relief from the pain. The office started doing paperwork and prepping the tools and materials for the root canal. I started panicking on the inside and was showing it a little on the outside. Root canals have always been referred to as horror stories! The tech noticed my concern and asked me if I wanted to do this today. I did want to; I personally just needed to calm down and get prepared. She was amazing at her job and also was a genuinely nice person who actually cared. The office manager came to explain the treatment and pricing. She included nitrous oxide upon my request so that I could calm down for the procedure. DeAngelo handled the numbing shots and nitrous oxide. He was amazing at administering both and was friendly to me. I didn't even feel the shots. Dr. Case came in shortly after and started the root canal. I was making some movements of my hands and feet during the drilling of my tooth and Dr. Case kept checking on me to make sure that I wasn't feeling any pain. I wasn't, I was just nervous. He was very gentle and I could tell he knew exactly what he needed to do. It was a very quick procedure and didn't feel any worse than a filling. Everyone was friendly going out the door as well. The Novocain wore off about two hours later and I have experienced absolutely no pain!!! Shoutout to Dr. Case for being so precise! & Shoutout to DeAngelo cause I don't even feel pain where he gave me the shots. The tech, DeAngelo and Dr. Case are the dental DREAM TEAM and I recommend them to everyone.

Our experience with Dental Depot Moore was not terrible, but not great. I don't plan on returning. I was under the impression this was a family friendly office and I brought our 2.5 year old foster child for his first check up ever and we had to wait over 30 minutes before seeing anyone. This is very challenging for any young child, but especially one who is experiencing a lot of new things. And there is nothing available for entertaining young kids like you would normally see at a family friendly office. The only thing they had was coloring pages, which he wasnt interested in. I made sure the office was aware of our situation before coming in, but they didn't seem to know or really care. We were also one of the first appointments of the day so I don't know why we had such a long wait. The dental hygienist and doctor were kind but we only saw them for a couple minutes and ended up being there almost an hour. This would be a fine location for older children or adults I'm sure, but not accommodating to young ones.

So many reminders. It is a bit excessive and inconvenient. I made my appointment 6 days out from the day I requested one. I get 3 emails, 4 texts and a voicemail all as a reminder of my appointment. I'm glad I am getting reminded but I don't need one everyday.
