Most patients, if given the opportunity, would choose to have healthy, attractive smiles. Unfortunately, many patients feel they have to delay or decline treatment because of concerns about cost. Proactively offering payment options—including patient financing—is one way to help more patients move forward with recommended dentistry without delay. When patients know financing is available early in their experience with your practice—like the initial phone call or when scheduling an appointment—it allows them to focus on getting the best care and not on how to manage cost. Some of your patients may already have CareCredit and just need to know you accept it.
