Becker's has reported on several dental practice closures in recent months.
Here are three dental offices that have closed and the reasons behind the closures.
1. River Valley Dental in Hadley, Mass., shut down after operating for 57 years "due to unforeseen circumstances."
2. Pacific Northwest Implant Studio and General Dentistry in Eugene, Ore., closed unexpectedly earlier this month. The landlord of the building posted a notice citing failure to pay as the reason for the abrupt closing.
3. Warren Family Dental closed its Cottage Grove office Dec. 21 after 13 months of operation because it was unable to find a replacement dentist.
