Dentists Drill into Consumer Services: Extended Hours, Insurance Plans and More
Denver Business Journal, March 1, 2018
Dentists have always taken care of patients' teeth, but not always their patients' time, money, or overall health needs.
All of that is changing in the Denver area, however.
Driven by shifts in population and by the need to reach patients who ignore their oral health, local dentists are becoming more consumer-oriented and offering services that formerly were not in their domain.
Practices -- especially the national dentistry chains that increasingly are operating in the area -- are offering their own insurance plans, extending their hours and giving discounts for cash payments in a bid to attract more patients into their chairs.
The moves are, thus far, paying off in a growth in customers for these innovative firms. And they are leading dental insurers and foundations to experiment with new relationships with primary-care providers as insurers wander outside of their traditional business-to-business focus and become more attuned to business-to-consumer relationships.
