PALM BEACH, Oct 28, 2025 — Dr. Alex Mehler, Vice President of Endodontic Services at Aspen Dental®, has been selected by award-winning Incisal Edge magazine as one of their 40 Under 40 Top Dentists in America for 2025. The annual list recognizes the most influential young dentists in the United States who are driving innovation, advancing clinical excellence, and improving access to oral healthcare.
Dr. Mehler was recognized for his leadership in expanding Aspen Dental’s endodontics service line while overseeing the endodontic support program across the organization’s network of 1,100+ locations nationwide.
“I’m honored to be recognized as one of Incisal Edge’s 40 Under 40 dentists in America,” said Dr. Mehler. “This recognition is more than a personal milestone -- it reflects the collective efforts of a team committed to expanding access to endodontic care nationwide. Being part of an organization that shares this mission of expanding access and advancing dental innovation inspires me every day.”
Dr. Mehler has significantly strengthened Aspen Dental's specialist network through onboarding endodontists, integrating them throughout existing Aspen Dental practices, and prioritizing the professional development of endodontists within the organization's network. The mentorship, along with professional development courses designed by Dr. Mehler and Aspen Dental's award-winning learning and development team, help educate both specialists and general dentists on how to best operate as a team. These efforts have directly translated into improved patient access and patient satisfaction, helping thousands of individuals nationwide to receive advanced endodontic care without the need for external referrals.
“With approximately 200,000 licensed dentists across the U.S., earning a spot in our 40 Under 40 doesn’t just place honorees in the top 1%—it heralds their entry into the most exceptional tier of that elite group,” said Incisal Edge magazine’s editor, Edward Kobesky. “Every year, our honorees represent the profession’s most passionate, forward-thinking and clinically outstanding individuals, and this year’s class stands out as one of the most dynamic and far-reaching we’ve ever recognized.”
This prestigious honor, now in its fifteenth year, is based on nominations from dentists’ colleagues and peers. They are then carefully evaluated by an independent panel of judges including former honorees to select the finalists.
