The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (AACD) has partnered with SimplePay, a patient- financing provider that offers serv- ices with no required credit checks and 0 percent interest. These features make SimplePay an excellent sup- plement to other patient-financing options dentists already use. SimplePay is a financing option unlike any other, designed to help your practice reach its full potential and to offer your patients a feasible path to treatment. Normally $199 per month, AACD member dentists can now receive this benefit for free. This means with SimplePay, AACD mem- ber dentists can increase their case acceptance while helping patients get the smiles of their dreams. Another benefit of SimplePay is that even if a patient misses a pay- ment, the dentist still gets paid. “One of the best things about SimplePay is that we can provide a competitive edge to the dental office,” said Shaleen Shah, SimplePay CEO. “We recognize that we can make a great impact to the cosmetic dental office’sbottomlinebyhelpingpatients afford the treatments and say ‘yes’ to recommended care.” According to AACD’s 2013 State of the Cosmetic Dentistry Industry Survey, all dentists who offered third- party financing reported the financ- ing helped them get a “yes” from patients who sought dental treatment. Now, with SimplePay as an additional optionforfinancingatnocosttoAACD member dentists, more patients than ever will be able to say “yes.” SimplePay: Both simple and free Here in San Francisco For more information on SimplePay, stop by the AACD booth, No. 1517.
