In this episode, Mike and Paula are joined by executive coach Michael Clark with Next Level Consultants—to dive deep into Patient Financing. They discuss how patient financing boosts case acceptance practice profitability, they tackle the challenges and opportunities that define modern day practices. They dish out practical tips, compelling stats, and stories from the trenches that’ll inspire you to rethink how you approach your practice.

The trio explores the power of patient financing—why it’s a game-changer for case acceptance, how it bridges the gap for patients unprepared for treatment costs, and why practices often miss the mark on offering it. With shoutouts to tools like Candid Pro (a clear aligner system designed for general dentists) and a candid look at options like the giant in patient financing CareCredit and other up and coming fintech lenders, this episode is packed with strategies to get more "yeses" from your patients.
