As the healthcare industry looked for ways to reduce costs, more and more Michigan hospitals decided to eliminate block time for dentistry. As a result, pediatric dentists were competing for access to fewer operatories and patients were faced with wait times up to 6 months.
Daydreams Procedure Center was opened to meet the growing need for pediatric dentistry under general anesthesia. Initially opened to handle surgical cases referred from Little Smiles’ four West Michigan locations, additional operatories were added to accomodate outside referrals from dentists, pediatricians, and other healthcare professionals.
Today Daydreams receives referrals from around the state and is able to reduce wait times from months to weeks.
