A $3,000 crown costs you $90 in fees. Every time.
Dental tickets are large and they repeat: crowns, ortho, implants, treatment plans. At typical rates a busy practice hands $30,000 or more a year to processing. The procedures don't change; what you pay to collect for them can.

What dental offices are up against
High tickets, high fees
A percent that feels small on a $40 sale is real money on a $3,000 treatment. Across a day of crowns and ortho, those fees quietly pay for a hygienist's hours.
Cards on file for treatment plans
Phased treatment and in-house plans need a card kept on file. It has to be charged on schedule and stored the compliant way. The front desk should never re-key a number.
Practice-management software
Dentrix, Open Dental and Eaglesoft each want payments to post back clean. Pick the wrong processor and you match up the books by hand every day.
Patients notice fees
Adding a fee for a nervous patient is not the same as adding one for a contractor. The program has to fit the moment at the chair, not just the spreadsheet.
The program fit
Consumer financing
Details →Let patients say yes to the full treatment plan and pay over time while you are funded up front. Often the difference between an accepted case and a deferred one.
Dual pricing
Details →Where it fits the practice, a clear cash-or-card price keeps the cost of acceptance off your books. We tell you plainly whether it suits your patient base.
Interchange plus
Details →The clear middle path. You pay the true cost plus a small disclosed markup. Usually the best fit for steady, big-ticket volume.
The systems we'd quote
Virtual terminal
Details →Keep a card on file for treatment plans and monthly plans. Key in phone payments. Set repeat charges that just work.
Countertop terminal
Details →A fast chip and tap terminal for the front desk. We set it up for your fee program before it ships.
Clover
Details →For a front desk that wants one screen. Payments, receipts, reports and a safe card-on-file vault.
Fair questions
Can you store a card on file for treatment plans?
Yes. A virtual terminal keeps the card safely on file. You can charge phased treatment, balances and membership plans on schedule. The front desk never has to ask for the number again.
Do you work with Dentrix, Open Dental or Eaglesoft?
We match you to a processor that works with your practice software. Cards on file and payments post back on their own. They land in the patient ledger. Nobody types them in twice.
Should a dental office surcharge patients?
Sometimes, but with care. Many offices would rather use dual pricing. Others eat the fee on the insurance part. A tense checkout is a bad place for a surcharge. We walk through what fits your patients before anything goes live.
Can patients finance large treatment plans?
Yes. We set up patient financing. A patient can say yes to the whole plan and pay over time. Your office is paid in full up front. More patients say yes to big cases.
How do in-house membership plans get billed?
On a set schedule against the card on file. We set the plan to bill each month or each year. Staff never touch it.
What's the real saving for a practice my size?
Send one recent statement. At dental ticket sizes, the gap between a listed rate and a rate we bargain for is often thousands a year. We show you your exact rate and the savings in writing first.
