The Other F Word: Financing

Previously on Spilling the Teath: Dr. Hungate and Chris Butler, VP & GM of DentalPlans.com spoke about how a lack of communication and transparency about pricing can quickly lead to a “no” on treatment. This week, they’re tackling how to turn those "noes" into "yeses." 

“The average treatment costs about $360.00. But the reality is the people walking into our practices have $500 on average in their checking account. Take it a step further. 37% of Americans can afford an emergency expense over $400. They just simply can't afford it and so. You have to understand where they're coming from, and that doesn't mean that you have to discount the hell out of your treatments. There are other options out there.” -- Chris Butler, VP & GM, DentalPlans.com
