Dentcare Now, a leading provider of general, restorative, cosmetic, and urgent dental care, is dedicated to offering high-quality treatments with state-of-the-art dental technology. Their mission is to provide patients with exceptional care while making dental procedures as accessible and stress-free as possible.

One of the biggest challenges was ensuring that patients—especially those in emergency situations—had access to financing options that would allow them to receive necessary care without financial hesitation.

After evaluating multiple third-party financing solutions, they discovered Sunbit integration. The seamless, digital-first experience was exactly what they needed to improve treatment accessibility and streamline their internal workflow.

Before implementing Sunbit, Dentcare Now had experience with several third-party financing solutions, including Cherry, CareCredit, Alphaeon, LendingClub, and Proceed. While these options helped some patients, Dentcare Now reported that they often came with cumbersome application processes, additional verification steps, and phone calls that slowed down approvals. The extra friction in the financing process often led to frustration for both patients and staff.


Dentcare Now needed a financing option that

Had a high approval rate, especially for patients with urgent dental needs.

Offered a fast and frictionless application process.

Integrated directly into their CareStack system to simplify their workflow.

By integrating Sunbit with CareStack, Dentcare Now transformed the way it offers financing to its patients. The ability to send a prequalification or checkout link directly to a patient’s phone from within CareStack significantly streamlined the financing process. Patients could see their payment plan options instantly, making it easier for them to move forward with treatment.

: Patients could apply lightning fast without filling out lengthy forms or making phone calls.

: Many patients, including those with subprime credit scores, were able to qualify for financing.

: Staff could send prequalification links directly from CareStack with a single tap.

: Patients were already familiar with this type of payment structure from other everyday purchases, making adoption easy.

“I really like CSPay’s complete integration with CareStack, especially for refunds. We process a lot of refunds, so the time savings have been incredible.” beams DeDee.

“You know we were looking at CSPay for the merchant fees, but we had no idea of the time savings we were going to get with it as well.”

But the benefits of CSPay did not stop there. CSPay’s integrated capabilities to store credit card information securely and then use it later for automated periodic billing helped DeDee and her team to launch Northwest Dental Group’s

How Dr. Williams' Practice Optimized Growth with CareStack

Case Study: How Dr. Williams' Practice Optimized Growth with CareStack

Celebration Dental's growth was hindered by an outdated practice management system that couldn't keep pace with its expanding needs. The challenges they faced included:

 The existing system lacked the flexibility, integration, and visibility required for a thriving dental practice, affecting its bottom line.

 The legacy system's poor integration with patient engagement tools led to missed scheduling opportunities and ineffective recall management.

 The staff, especially at the front desk, felt overwhelmed. The outdated systems they worked with were less intuitive than their personal smartphones, leading to frustration and reduced patient attention.

 While many patients tolerated the older processes, frequent issues like payment errors, scheduling mishaps, and eligibility checks often resulted in confrontations, putting the practice's reputation at risk.

 Predicting revenue became challenging, and system glitches often delayed payouts, making payroll management a nightmare.

The Transformation with CareStack™: Celebration Dental's collaboration with CareStack™ was driven by the platform's modern design and the company's dedication to addressing its challenges.
