Chicago-based Aspen Dental is set to build a practice location in Augusta, Maine, as demolition at the site of the old business has started, according to an Aug. 22 report by the Kennebec Journal.
The practice will be 4,000 square feet, replacing the current smaller Aspen Dental office that is approximately half a mile away.
The new office was approved in March 2022 by the city's planning board.
The Friendly's restaurant that previously occupied the land closed in 2019, the report said.
Aspen Dental has more than 1,000 practices across the country, including 10 in Maine.
