Synchrony announced a multi-year renewal with Affordable Care, LLC. Under the expanded agreement, CareCredit, Synchrony's health and wellness credit card, will be offered as a payment option at more than 450 affiliated Affordable Dentures & Implants, DDS Dentures + Implant Solutions and Advanced Dental Implant Center dental practices across 43 states, enabling customers to finance dental implants and denture products to transform their smiles and lives. Good oral health is an important part to having and maintaining overall health and self-confidence, but cost can sometimes get in the way of patients achieving their dental health goals.

Synchrony's Dental Lifetime of Care study found that 58% of respondents believe dental care is not affordable, which may be the reason why the majority of respondents (92%) said they would consider holding off on general dental care because of cost. Financing solutions, such as the CareCredit credit card can help offset the cost burden and empower patients to get the care they need and want. Dental patients looking for a modern, flexible way to pay for dental care can see if they prequalify for the CareCredit credit card in a dental practice, online at carecredit.com or on any smart device with no impact to their credit score.

A credit decision is made within minutes and if approved, patients can use their card to pay for care without delay. For providers, CareCredit is integrated in the top dental practice management software solutions, making it easy for dental teams to offer it to their patients and for patients to apply. Additionally, CareCredit offers resources and tools to help educate patients on dental costs and the financing solutions available to plan and pay for care.
