An orthodontic practice in McAllen, Texas, has closed without warning, according to an Aug. 7 report from KRGV News.
The landlord of the office posted a notice stating that the tenant, Senan Orthodontic Studio, had failed to pay rent, leading to the closure.
Before the landlord changed the locks, the practice said it would reopen on July 20, which never happened.
Multiple patients told the news outlet that they had paid thousands of dollars for orthodontic treatment that was not completed.
The listed phone number of the practice is no longer in service.
The Texas State Board of Dental Examiners encouraged patients of dental practices that abruptly close to file a complaint, the report said.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place September 14-15 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
