Payment Processing for Dental Practices
High-ticket procedures deserve $0 processing fees. Network Offset Pricing means dental practices pay nothing to process crowns, implants, and cosmetic work — with patient payment plans included.
What Payment Processing Costs Your Practice
High-ticket procedures, patient payment plans, insurance-versus-patient splits, and slow deposits create a payment processing burden that most dental practices simply absorb as a cost of doing business.
High-Ticket Procedures Overpay at Flat Rate
Crowns, implants, and cosmetic work range from $1,000-5,000+. At flat-rate pricing, a $4,000 implant costs $116+ in processing fees — while the actual interchange may be under $75. That gap is pure profit lost on every major procedure.
Payment Plan Complexity
Large treatment plans require installment billing that basic processors do not support. Practices manage payment schedules manually, leading to missed collections, staff overhead, and patients falling through the cracks.
Insurance vs. Patient Responsibility Splitting
Dental billing requires collecting the patient's portion after insurance adjudication. Processors that cannot handle variable patient balances or post-insurance adjustments create reconciliation headaches for front-desk staff.
Slow Funding Delays Practice Cash Flow
Two-to-three-day deposit delays on high-ticket procedures strain cash flow for lab fees, supply orders, and payroll. Practices end up floating thousands in completed work while waiting for deposits to clear.
Built for Dental Practices
From cleanings to full-mouth restorations, every feature is designed for dental practice workflows.
High-Ticket Savings
Crowns, implants, and cosmetic procedures of $1,000-15,000+ cost $0 to process with Network Offset Pricing. No interchange, no markups — unlike flat-rate processors that take hundreds per procedure.
