Is the mobile dentist the next big thing for dental practices?

dental practice valuaton mobileWhen we talk about dental practice valuations we often talk about the importance of providing niche and value add services to build a profitable base of patients.

One possible “game changer” could be the mobile dentist.

In the US, a travelling trailer tours the country providing free dental care to underprivileged people. The mobile dental office is giving free dental care to patients in need. The trailer can provide everything from oral exams, cleanings, filings and extractions.

I can’t tell you working with some of the patients inside the shelter here in Des Moines are very grateful to have the opportunity to get some dental work taken care of” said Shawn McGarvey of Aspen Dental.
The trailer serves around 40 people a day at each stop.

I wonder if this mobile concept is the next “big thing” for providing dental care to busy people?
