CareCredit Reaches 100,000 Dental Practice Milestone

CareCredit, a company centered around helping patients pay for select healthcare services, recently enrolled its 100,000th dental practice. 

With this milestone, eight out of 10 dental practices in the country now accept CareCredit, and every day CareCredit, on average, approves 6,300 new CareCredit credit card accounts.
 
Dr. Joseph Wareham’s practice in Lithia, Fla. became the 100,000th dental practice nationwide to accept CareCredit. “We’d considered adding CareCredit for years and wish we had done so a lot sooner,” said Dr. Wareham. “Everything we heard CareCredit could do for our practice and patients, it has. We tell all of our patients about CareCredit when we discuss treatment. Our goal is to get them healthy, and for many patients, CareCredit can help make that happen. I am a bit amazed I’m the 100,000th dentist to add CareCredit. Now that I know how much it helps patients, I wish I had been the first!”
 
CareCredit was founded in 1987 to give patients a way to pay for new dental implant technology. During the last 27 years, CareCredit has expanded at the request of patients and providers to other healthcare segments including optometric, ophthalmic, veterinary, audiology, cosmetic surgery and, most recently, dermatology.
 
“This is an important milestone for CareCredit,” said David Fasoli, president and CEO of CareCredit. “CareCredit’s beginnings are in dentistry and it has always been our goal to help dentists and their teams make it easier for patients to access the care they need. In a recent survey, 81 percent of our cardholders agreed that having the CareCredit healthcare credit card made it possible to start treatment immediately* and nine out of ten CareCredit cardholders say they would recommend CareCredit to friends and family**.”
