Increase patient retention with DentiCare Payment Plans

As a dentist or orthodontist, your biggest assets are your patients. Many practices focus their energy on attracting new patients, which is fine, however it’s just as important to look after your existing patients.

A few common ways to increase patient retention include:

  • Get to know your patients.
  • Improve patient experience.
  • Identify your unique selling point.
  • Marketing initiatives.
  • Offer affordable payment options.

How do DentiCare Payment Plans help increase patient retention?

Dental and orthodontic treatment can be expensive, especially if patients have a substantial treatment plan. This expense poses a barrier for some patients to get the treatment they need. An affordable payment plan can help your patients budget for their dental treatment instead of paying upfront.

Patients are more likely to return to your practice for regular visits when they don’t have to pay for their treatment in one lump sum. Offering affordable payment plans can help reduce the financial burden and make dental treatment more accessible.

What you need to know about DentiCare Payment Plans

DentiCare Payment Plans aren’t your traditional dental loans. The main benefits for patients include:

No credit or finance checks

There’s no need for financial background checks before signing up for a DentiCare Payment Plan. If a patient misses a payment the DentiCare team will follow up all late/missed payments, so your admin staff don’t have to.

Guaranteed payment

When patients sign up for a DentiCare Plus Payment Plan and miss a payment, you’ll still get paid on time. Your practice will continue to collect revenue.
