On big bills, the rate is the whole game

Treatment plans and ortho cases run hundreds or thousands of dollars at a time, so the percentage rate dominates the cost. A small padding on that volume adds up fast, and downgrades on keyed or large transactions quietly cost even more. On the debit side, Interac should be priced low, not at credit rates, so make sure that is set up right. Customer financing helps patients say yes to a treatment plan, and when you keep a card on file for payment plans, that recurring run has to be priced right. We keep your setup transparent and built around how the front desk actually works.

Common questions

Will it work with my dental practice software?
Many dental practice systems are open and let you choose your processor or use a standalone terminal alongside them. Tell us what you run and we’ll confirm what we can do.
Does the rate really matter on big treatment plans?
Yes. Treatment plans and ortho cases are large bills, so the percentage rate dominates the cost. A clean rate, avoiding downgrades on keyed or large transactions, and pricing Interac debit low instead of at credit rates all keep real money in the practice. On bigger plans, financing can also help patients say yes.
