Grand Rapids dentist office Van Haren Family Dentistry is extending hours during the holiday season to accommodate patient demand for appointments. Van Haren Family Dentistry in Michigan is adding December 18th, 23rd, and 30th to their normal schedule. The dental practice hopes the addition of these three days will help balance the supply and demand for dental appointments this year. Last year, the practice faced an overwhelming demand for appointments around the holidays.
A number of factors lead to higher demand for dental appointments around the holidays. College students return home looking for an appointment with their family dentist. Workers and students take advantage of days off to see their dentist without missing work or school. Patients with dental insurance want to take advantage of insurance benefits before benefits expire at the end of the year.
