Turn the price objection into a same-visit yes
The fastest case-killer is not doubt about the smile. It is the money. Smile PreVue lets you price the plan and offer flexible ways to pay at the chair, so the case closes in the room instead of walking out to think about it.
The short version
A patient can love their new smile and still leave to think about it. Most of the time, what they are really weighing is the cost. When the only answer you can give is that the front desk will call them about payment, the case cools off and often never comes back.
Smile PreVue closes that gap. You price the treatment plan chairside, then offer the patient a way to pay that fits them, in full or over time, in the same flow where they just saw their result. The affordability question gets answered while the desire is still fresh.
Seeing the smile is what creates the want. Removing the price objection is what turns the want into a yes. This page covers how patients can pay, why it lifts case acceptance, and exactly how the financing works.
How your patients can pay
Pay in full, right at the chair
Patients can pay on the spot by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Cash App. The case is closed and paid before they leave the operatory.
Pay over time
Patients who would rather spread the cost can apply for monthly payments through Affirm, Klarna, or Sunbit. Pay-over-time is subject to the provider's approval.
Priced in seconds, chairside
A clinic fee schedule and per-tooth pricing build the treatment plan total automatically, so the number is ready the moment the patient is ready to decide.
One flow, one visit
Show the new smile, present the plan, and offer the payment options without leaving the room. The decision happens while the patient is still looking at their result.
Powered by trusted payment partners
Smile PreVue is a software platform, not a lender or bank. Card and wallet payments are processed through Stripe, certified to PCI DSS Level 1, the highest level of payment security, and card details never touch our servers. Pay-over-time options are provided by Affirm, Klarna, and Sunbit and are subject to approval.
Costs your practice less than CareCredit
Founding members pay a flat 6.5% on financed cases, well under what CareCredit's promotional plans cost most practices, with the practice paid in full upfront. Financing is built into the chairside flow, so there is no separate application or contract to manage. These are pre-negotiated founding rates, locked in for practices who join now.

The price reveal is the third decision moment in a cosmetic consult, after the diagnosis and the visualization. It is also where most high-ticket cases are lost. The patient wants the smile. They just cannot picture how to pay for it yet.
Financing is the accelerant, not the hero. The close is still the product, and seeing their own result is still what makes a patient want to move forward. But when you can immediately show an affordable path, in full or over time, the price stops being a reason to walk away and becomes part of the yes.
It pairs directly with the rest of the close. Read the full case acceptance guide to see where payment fits in the larger framework, or see the full patient payments overview.
How the financing works
Smile PreVue is a software platform, not a lender. Pay-over-time options are provided by third-party partners, Affirm, Klarna, and Sunbit, and are always subject to their approval. The provider, not Smile PreVue, decides eligibility, rates, and repayment terms.
Payments are processed securely through Stripe, a PCI DSS Level 1 certified provider, so card details never touch our servers. Your practice controls whether to offer financing and may need to complete a payments agreement to enable it. Pay-in-full options include card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Cash App.
Patient financing FAQ
Does Smile PreVue offer patient financing?
Yes. From the chairside flow, your practice can let a patient pay in full (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Cash App) or apply to pay over time through Affirm, Klarna, or Sunbit. Pay-over-time options are subject to the provider's approval.
Is Smile PreVue a lender?
No. Smile PreVue is a software platform, not a lender. Pay-over-time financing is provided by third-party partners (Affirm, Klarna, and Sunbit). Smile PreVue does not lend money and does not set rates or terms.
How do patients qualify for financing?
Patients apply with the financing provider during checkout. Approval, rates, and repayment terms are decided by the provider and are subject to approval. Not every patient will qualify for every option.
Does offering financing increase case acceptance?
The price reveal is where many cosmetic cases stall. Giving a patient an affordable path at the exact moment they are looking at their new smile removes the most common reason to delay, which is when high-ticket cases are won or lost.
Can my practice control whether financing is offered?
Yes. Financing is something your practice chooses to turn on, and you decide when to present pay-over-time options to a patient. Payments are processed securely through Stripe.
How does Smile PreVue financing compare to CareCredit?
Founding members pay a flat 6.5% on financed cases, which is less than CareCredit's promotional plans cost most practices, and your practice is paid in full upfront. Financing is built into the chairside flow, so there is no separate contract to manage. See the dental payment processing comparison for the full breakdown.
