As a dedicated healthcare professional, you don't unreasonably limit your practice hours or hire unskilled staff.  In fact, you want to make it as easy as possible for patients to access care, so you provide a range of convenient appointment options and treatment options, so patients can choose what is best for them and their oral health needs.

In the same way, accepting CareCredit's healthcare credit card and letting all patients know they have payment options in addition to Visa^® and MasterCard^® can make it easier for many to move forward with care, especially those who would prefer to take advantage of special financing options. CareCredit provides patients with convenient and flexible options they can't get with other credit cards and is ideal for all types of patients and treatment needs, including new patients, patients without a solid payment history, patients with limited or no insurance benefits or any other situations where you are not comfortable extending credit through the practice.

CareCredit is exclusively recommended for our members.  If you have yet to join over 95,000 dental practices that accept CareCredit, taking the next step is easy.
