Corporate vs Family-Owned Dental Offices

Are you looking for a new dentist but can’t decide between a corporate or family-owned dental office? We’ll help you determine which is better for you here by discussing the pros and cons of a family-owned dental office and a corporate dental office.

Corporate Dental Offices

There are pros and cons to corporate dental offices. The pros are that they have several different locations to which you can visit and therefore often have a larger staff. They also often have more specialists on staff such as oral surgery and orthodontic dental professionals. Corporate dental offices may also accept a larger number of insurance providers and sometimes offer special promotions. However, a big con of the corporate dental offices is that it is very impersonal. You often get your procedure done and then they quickly move on to the next person. There is usually very little time to interact with your dentist, with a quick hello and cursory check of your teeth and mouth at the end of the appointment. Some even use a call center or answering services to set appointments for patients.
