Surcharging in Dental Practices | The Pros, Cons, and Regulations

One of our most well-attended webinars last year, this session returns in 2026 to help practices navigate the growing complexity of surcharging.

Surcharging, passing credit card processing fees on to patients, has become increasingly common in dental practices. Often promoted as “free credit card processing,” this approach can reduce overhead, but it also comes with important considerations around patient experience, compliance, and long-term practice growth.

In this webinar, we’ll take a clear, practical look at how surcharging works, why it’s gained popularity, and what dental practices should understand before implementing it. With higher average transaction amounts in dentistry, even small fees can feel significant to patients—making perception and communication just as important as compliance.
