Business Funding for Dental Practices

Why Dental Practices Need Business Funding

Running a dental practice is as much a business challenge as it is a clinical one. Equipment costs are among the highest of any healthcare specialty — a single dental chair setup can run $30,000–$50,000, and digital X-ray systems, CBCT scanners, and CAD/CAM milling units can cost significantly more. Meanwhile, insurance reimbursements from Delta Dental, MetLife, and other major carriers take 30–90 days to process.

VACA Funding provides dental practices with fast, flexible capital to bridge these gaps, upgrade technology, hire staff, and grow — without the months-long bank loan process.

Best Funding Products for Dental Practices

Equipment Financing: Finance dental chairs, X-ray systems, CBCT scanners, sterilization equipment, and CAD/CAM machines with up to 100% LTV. The equipment serves as collateral, making approval easier regardless of credit.

Merchant Cash Advance: Get a lump sum advance repaid as a percentage of your daily collections. Ideal for practices with consistent patient volume and steady revenue deposits.

Business Line of Credit: A revolving credit line for ongoing practice expenses — lab fees, supplies, staffing, and marketing — that you draw from as needed.

Working Capital Loan: Cover payroll, rent, and operating expenses during slow months or while waiting on insurance reimbursements.

Dental Practice Funding for Bad Credit

VACA Funding evaluates dental practice applications based on monthly revenue and patient collections, not just personal credit scores. Practice owners with credit scores as low as 500 have been approved and funded.
