For many patients, fear of the dental appointment is not about needles or drills, but cost. Even patients with insurance face hard choices between their oral health and their budgets. Consequently, dentists face an uphill battle in providing comprehensive dental care. The fact is, cost is the deciding factor in patients’ ability to undergo treatment, resulting in lower treatment acceptance rates, dissatisfaction, and undertreated patients.
Unfortunately, a lot of patients either go forward with partial treatment or refuse treatment altogether. Although there are financing options, half of the people who apply are rejected.
The buy now, pay later financial solution that has been widely used by consumers in other areas is now available for patient financing. Patients can pay-over-time for treatment, with no fees, no penalties, and often no interest. Learn more about how the process works and what it means for treatment acceptance.
