Glidewell has announced a partnership with financial technology company Sunbit to offer pay-over-time patient financing options to dental patients. According to the company, the collaboration is intended to help dental teams provide patients with more flexible payment solutions, with the goal of increasing access to timely treatment.
Through this partnership, dental practices using Glidewell services will be able to offer Sunbit’s financing options, which allow patients to divide treatment costs into monthly payments ranging from three to seventy-two months. According to the company, Sunbit’s application process includes no fees and has an approval rate of 85 percent.
“The combination of Glidewell's industry leadership and Sunbit’s financial technology transforms how patients access and afford dental care,” said Rob Brenneise, chief growth officer at Glidewell. “Ensuring that quality treatment is always within reach has been a long-standing goal of ours and we're excited to make it possible with Sunbit.”
Sunbit manages the entire financing experience for patients, allowing dental providers to focus on care delivery. According to the company, making treatment more financially accessible can increase case acceptance and reduce delays in patient care.
“We are excited to be working with Glidewell to support patients in accessing the dental care they need when they need it,” said Robert Nunziato of Sunbit. “The convenience, accessibility and transparency of Sunbit's pay-over-time financing not only delivers a better patient experience, it also empowers dental teams to grow their practices, which is a win for all.”
