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.

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.

My visits are fantastic. There was a slip up this go around due to New office people, I'm sure it won't happen again, other than that they do great work.

I saw Dr Scott on this particular day. He was fantastic at the time. Dr Scott removed a very painful tooth. Dr Scott's assistant was great too. I felt no injection pain of which I received three. Thankfully, Dr Scott got my tooth out quickly. I'm thankful that my tooth did not break during extraction. I got an antibiotic and ibuprofen 800mg for pain. All great. I normally see Dr Kaytlan, but I couldn't wait at the time. My tooth pain was too much. Dr Kaytlan and her assistant are awesome too. Dental Depot at Tulsa Southern Hills rocks! I removed three star because upon receiving my upper and lower partials Dr Kaytlan was on maturity leave so I had to see Dr Scott. Unfortunately, the partials were very uncomfortable and I had to return several times waiting to be squeezed in for over an hour at times to reset my partials. Dr Scott couldn't seem to get them to fit right and started to become noticeably agitated with me until my upper partial broke in my mouth when eating. I immediately returned to get help from Dr Scott. At first Dr Scott got very angry, telling me he was done with me, saying that he had reached his boiling point. He refused to treat me by telling me to speak to the office manager and adding that he was only filling in for Dr Kaytlan, saying that I was not his patient. I was shocked sitting in his dentist chair after he walked out to treat another patient. Almost in tears I told one of the assistants walking by and she called the office manager. I explained all that occurred to the office manager who had called Dr Scott in to talk together to resolve his anger issue and his sudden boiling temper tantrum. Dr Scott agreed to call the technician and fix the broken upper partial and he apologized for his complete unprofessionalism. I returned and the partial was refitted and fixed where I was told to return to reset it where needed. Feeling sick to my stomach, I accepted Dr Scott's apology, but I have not been able to return to have my partials reset because I feel very uncomfortable going back to Dental Depot Southern Hills. Although I accepted Dr Scott's apology I still hear him telling me that he has more important patients to tend to. I still see him showing me with his hand that he had reached his boiling limit and was about to explode. I still hear him telling me that I was not his patient and that this was not his problem. That he had more important patients waiting. His patients. These things still play on my mind. Going to any dentist is hard enough for anyone, but going to a dentist to correct uncomfortable partials when that dentist loses his temper and abandons you in anger and blames you for your uncomfortable partials and for any issues with them, is something else. I don't wear my upper and lower partials at all because they are still very uncomfortable and I feel extremely awkward and uncomfortable going back to Dental Depot Tulsa Southern Hills because getting these upper and lower partials to be comfortable enough is painful and no easy task and I do not wish to be subjected to Dr Scott's temper ever again. I left two stars because Dr Scott did apologize for blowing up on me and for accusing me of creating my pain, discomfort and issues with my partials. He apologized after he was called in by the office manager and he did work on a resolve with the tech guy to fix the broken partial, but I can't add any more stars because the above mentioned has caused me to lose much trust and faith in Dental Depot Tulsa Southern Hills. Although, I do recommend five stars for Dr Kaytlan, she was amazing, patient, professional and very kind, but unfortunately she left a monster in her place to tend to me while she was on maternity leave.

Everything is good at the 71st st. office. I had some issues at the Sheridan office. The staff was friendly at 71st. Office.. I am getting dentures so will wait and see if everything works out well. All and all I would recommend the office on 71st. You even have a little train that goes around to give you something to focus on...

The employees were very personable and kind. The only complaint I have was this, I drive an hour to get to the office. After arriving & getting X-ray's done, only then did they check my insurance to inform me the amount that was due today! I'm on a fixed income and currently didn't have the $300. I have an abscessed tooth that I needed an immediate extraction. I was sent home with antibiotics only and an appt two weeks away. I'm still in severe pain. I then had to drive an hour back home to suffer in pain for another two weeks. I'm going to try and find help elsewhere. I will cancel my appointment as soon as I get help.

I had a dental emergency and received an appointment with Dental Depo. Dr Scott and his staff were beyond amazing. As a single mom it's incredibly hard to maintain self care and health without bringing the kiddos along. They staff asked if they could watch the boys for me while I had an extraction. The service of this staff is incredibly amazing! I am a forever customer. Thank you all so much!
