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.

We know it takes a village to raise a child, which is why we are dedicated to helping kids and parents who need it most. 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. Our Red Nose Day efforts make donating a fun and competitive team experience complete with sprit-week costume days, a contest to put our doctors in a dunk tank, and of course, silly red noses!
We dont stop there. We also are committed to giving students the support they need to be involved in their own schools and communities. Each year, we support student athletics, arts and academics at schools across Oklahoma. And through Fields & Futures, Dental Depot has been honored to provide Dental Depot Field, a safe place for student athletes to pursue their passion.
Smiley ORiley, Dental Depots happy clown conductor, is a favorite of children across Oklahoma! Each year for National Childrens Dental Health Month, Smiley ORiley provides children with free dental hygiene kits and a magically fun lesson on the importance of developing good oral health habits. Dental Depots Smiley ORiley program reaches 20,000 Oklahoma school children annually, on average.
We love being inspired by the incredible athletes who participate in Special Olympics! Our beloved clown conductor, Smiley ORiley, cheers on the athletes of Special Olympics programs, including Stars of the Future, at events throughout the year. And each year at Christmas time, Dental Depot creates a new holiday t-shirt design to raise money to help fund Special Olympics programs. As one of our teams favorite annual fundraisers, we invite everyone to show their support as we present the donation at our company Christmas party.
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.

DENTAL DEPOT is so gentle, that they almost put me to sleep during my every 6-month teeth cleanings! Awesome people, love my dentist and crew, and they even have LIVE TRAINS circling on a track overhead - so fun!! And always on time. Dr. Knox is wonderful and young, so I plan on having the same dentist for at least the next 20 years!! Then my husband said let's build a house near Owasso . . . I moved and took another dentist for 1 cleaning because they were 6 miles from the new house we just built near Owasso. The other dentist at FAMILY DENTAL CARE OF OWASSO WOULDN'T clean my teeth on my first cleaning, because I only got there 10 minutes early and they have OVER 9 PAGES OF DENTAL HISTORY for you to fill out, which took me to the 25 minute mark of my 1-hour appointment!!! So FAMILY DENTAL CARE OF OWASSO said they COULD ONLY DO THE X-RAYS and they would have to SQUEEZE ME IN THE FOLLOWING WEEK BETWEEN OTHER PATIENTS. They were RUSHING THRU my cleaning so badly that I felt tartar still on my teeth when I walked out, and a PIECE OF TARTAR BROKE OFF 2 MONTHS LATER AFTER MY TERRIBLE CLEANING, making me think I had a CHIPPED TOOTH at the gum line on my front teeth, and they wanted to do 4 CAPS on my teeth. I LEFT FAMILY DENTAL CARE of OWASSO and am HAPPY to drive 36 miles round trip to get to Dr. KNOX at DENTAL DEPOT-- 47th and Harvard in Tulsa, who said he wouldn't advise spending the more than $4,000 Family Dental wanted, if he were advising his sister. So I didn't!! I am BEYOND HAPPY TO BE BACK AT DENTAL DEPOT with Dr. STEPHEN KNOX. And I just heard his staff tell someone, Don't worry if you're not finished with the DENTAL HISTORY, just take the iPad with you back to the back and continue filling it out back there. They are SO VERY PLEASANT at DENTAL DEPOT! I RECOMMEND THIS DENTAL OFFICE TO ALL MY FRIENDS!!! DENTAL DEPOT AT 47TH AND HARVARD IN TULSA, OK!!

These dentures are poorly mad. Do NOT get your dentures here. Update- waiting a month to see the dentist is unreasonable. Great customer service. Friendly staff, & doctors. Cheerful, comfortable waiting area but never a long wait. The staff & the doctors are prepared with the details of my visit. Not having to reexplain the reasons for my visit or answer the same questions prevents frustration & added anxiety. Going to the dentist is no longer a frightening experience.

The dental assistant was not good and in fact the hygienist had to come back and clean my teeth again after doing a scrape. Dr. Knox is the best but his support could be more attentive and less worried about time. If it takes longer to take care of someone so be it.

This is not a provider issue, this is strictly a billing issue. On the date of the visit after services were completed, we checked out and were told no payment was due. We were told the charts are still being worked on and that anything owed would be mailed out. Upon receiving our first statements only the balance due was included. There was not a detailed invoice of the charges included. I tried calling their local 918 number and also their 405. I was told during both calls that billing was not available for any phone call. I left a detailed message with both people and was assured that a detailed invoice would be mailed out to explain the charges. I totally understand that there would be charges associated with the visits, I would just like to know what I was charged for during the visit. A few weeks past by and we received the same statements in the mail without and invoices attached. So again I called and spoke to a receptionist and was again told that billing is not available to take any phone calls. So again I left all of our information and that I would like a detailed invoice for the charges. I explained that I understand that I do owe money, I just want to know what and why. Again I was told they would be sent out. A few weeks go by and again the same statements were sent out without a detailed invoice. So I contacted Dental Depot again and got the same run around about the billing office being unavailable. I explained my situation and was told they would get that corrected and an invoice would be sent out. I received the same statements in the mail again without a detailed invoice. This time it did include a letter that we would be sent to collections if payment is not made. So I have made payment in full but still unsure for what the charges are and why. Very poor customer service and shady billing practices.

Excellent experience. My first time here. Had a tooth that wasn't quite a full blown toothache yet but was letting me know it was coming. Dental Depot got me in real fast and fixed the problem before it became a painful problem. I really appreciate how they handled everything and everyone I dealt with was so nice and friendly and helpful. Being a first time patient, they gave me a free t-shirt and I'm a t-shirt collector.
