Credit Card Processing for Dental Offices
A dental office may collect a copay at the front desk, take a deposit for a planned treatment package, or arrange payments for a balance. We read a recent statement line by line and explain how those charges are priced.
Credit card processing for dental offices starts with what you already pay. Send one recent statement and a person reads your merchant account for dental offices line by line. Free, with no obligation.
Short answer
Can a dental office get a merchant account?
Yes, most dental offices can. No one can promise approval because the processor assesses the business, the owner and processing history. Treatment deposits, front desk copays and patient portal balances need distinct payment records. Send one recent statement and we will review it free.
