Patient Financing Options for Open Dental Practices

WHAT IT DOES

A better way to help patients move forward with treatment.

Patients are not always saying no to treatment. Many times, they are saying, “I cannot pay for all of that today.”

Patient Financing through Flex gives Open Dental practices a way to offer flexible payment options when cost becomes the obstacle. Instead of sending patients home to “think about it,” your team can help them understand the cost, see available payment options, and move forward with care.

The practice gets a clearer path to payment, and patients get a more manageable way to say yes to the treatment they need.

    Flex helps bring financing into the treatment decision process, before the patient leaves undecided.

  3. Treatment follow-up becomes manual

    Flex helps connect treatment planning, payment options, and patient communication so the next step is easier to manage.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Dental patient financing gives patients a way to pay for treatment over time instead of paying the full amount upfront. This can help patients move forward with recommended care when cost is the main reason they are hesitating.

Patient financing helps reduce cost objections during the treatment conversation. When patients understand their care, their insurance estimate, and their payment options, they are more likely to accept treatment and schedule before they leave.

Flex is built for Open Dental practices and helps connect treatment planning, payment conversations, and patient follow-up around Open Dental workflows. This helps practices reduce manual work while giving patients clearer payment options.

Yes. When cost is the reason patients delay care, financing can help turn unscheduled treatment into scheduled treatment. The key is offering payment options while the patient is still making the decision, not weeks later.

Patient financing and Buy Now, Pay Later are closely related because both help patients manage treatment costs over time. The exact options available may depend on the financing solution, eligibility, and rollout status. Product and legal teams should confirm final language before launch.

Some financing options allow the practice to receive payment upfront while the patient pays over time. 

Open Dental practices should offer financing because cost is one of the biggest barriers to treatment acceptance. Flexible payment options help patients move forward with care sooner and help practices recover more revenue from treatment they already diagnosed.
