Payments tuned for dental practices
Front-desk swipes, treatment-plan financing, ortho recurring, and pay-by-link before appointments are four different payment motions on one practice.
Front-desk swipes, treatment-plan financing, ortho recurring, and pay-by-link before appointments are four different payment motions on one practice. Storing card numbers in practice software or keying approvals over the phone widens PCI scope and inflates cost at the same time. We shrink scope with tokenization, add financing for large cases, and keep statements readable for whoever reviews the books.
Sound familiar?
These are the friction points we hear most often from dental practices before a savings review.
- High-ticket sales triggering holds, declines, or steep fees
- Losing bigger sales when customers cannot pay all at once
- Recurring billing that is clumsy or quietly drops saved cards
- Sensitive customer data widening your PCI and compliance scope
- Statements you cannot actually read or verify
How dental practices get paid
Your underwriting, equipment, and pricing should match this flow, not a generic countertop setup.
- Front-desk payment after treatment
- Payment plans for elective and high-ticket procedures
- Recurring ortho or wellness balances
- Insurance copays with remaining patient responsibility
- Online pay-by-link before appointments
What we configure for your vertical
- HIPAA-aware card handling via tokenization (no raw card data in your PMS)
- Financing for treatment plans over a few thousand dollars
- Recurring plans for ongoing care packages
- Terminal and pay-link combo for front desk workflow

Worth knowing before you switch
- Storing card numbers in practice software widens PCI scope fast
- Large same-day treatment plans can trigger holds if limits are wrong
- Downgraded keyed transactions from phone payments inflate cost
