How We Helped a Nevada Dental Practice Increase Profits by $28,000

At Commerce Solutions, we understand that dental practices need more than clinical excellence to thrive—they need financial systems that support both profitability and patient care. Recently, we partnered with a Nevada dentist who was struggling with two major challenges: high credit card processing fees and a large number of patients being turned away due to declined financing. By tackling both issues, we helped the practice improve patient access to care while boosting annual profits by $28,000.

The Challenge

This dental practice faced a significant financial roadblock. Many patients needed essential treatments but were unable to secure financing. Declined loan requests left thousands of dollars in revenue untapped, while also leaving patients without the care they needed.

On top of that, high credit card processing fees were further eroding profitability. Month after month, a large portion of revenue was being lost to outdated billing structures. The practice needed a smarter way forward—one that could both reduce costs and expand patient payment options.

Our Approach

When the practice partnered with Commerce Solutions, we started by reviewing their financial processes from end to end. Our first move was to implement a more efficient payment processing system, reducing card processing costs by 30%. That single change put thousands of dollars back into the practice’s bottom line each year.

Next, we introduced a new patient financing program tailored for healthcare. By streamlining the application process and expanding available options, patients who previously faced declined financing could now move forward with their treatments. This change allowed the practice to convert $20,000 in previously declined loans into actual revenue.

The Results

The impact was immediate and measurable. With reduced processing fees and increased financing approvals, the Nevada dental practice saw an annual profit increase of $28,000.

But the benefits didn’t stop there. Patients gained better access to financing, which meant more of them could say yes to necessary treatments. This improved patient satisfaction, boosted trust in the practice, and encouraged referrals—creating a cycle of both financial and reputational growth.

Why This Matters for Dental Practices

• Cost savings add up. Reviewing and renegotiating payment processing fees can make a substantial difference in profitability.

• Financing expands access. Providing flexible options helps patients move forward with care, turning declined treatments into revenue.

• Patient experience drives loyalty. Streamlined payment and financing systems not only improve cash flow but also build long-term patient relationships.
