Most offices offer at least one patient financing solution today and the demand for financing continues to increase. In fact, a recent survey of dental professionals found that 69% say inflation has encouraged more patients to seek financing options for dental care. This makes sense when paired with the recent finding that even people making six-figure incomes are living paycheck to paycheck.

Offering financing is an amenity dental practices can’t overlook no matter the market they’re serving. When it comes to choosing a financing partner, dental practices have options ranging from medical credit cards to personal loans, in addition to offering in-house payment plans.

However, not all financing is created equal. Each comes with its own set of risks and considerations. It’s critical to evaluate solutions thoroughly to ensure you are making the right decision for your office and to protect the best interests of your patients.
