How Periodontists Can Simplify Payment Collection and Improve Profitability with ARISE

Managing a busy periodontal practice means balancing patient care with business operations, and payments are often where the bottlenecks begin. If your team is still juggling outdated systems or manually chasing down payments, it’s time for a change.

Many practices still rely on outdated or fragmented payment systems which can slow cash flow, increase administrative workload, and impact patient satisfaction. The ARISE Payment Platform, powered by Aurora Payments – a Perio Perks Partner, provides a modern, streamlined payment solution designed specifically to meet the needs of specialty dental practices.

Here’s how ARISE helps periodontists reduce administrative burdens, improve collections, and deliver a better experience to patients.

Accepts Every Major Payment Type
Patients expect flexibility in how they pay for care. ARISE supports a broad spectrum of payment methods including credit and debit cards, ACH payments, HSA FSA cards, contactless payments, mobile wallets, and traditional chip or swipe cards all processed through a single platform. Whether payments are made at the front desk, in treatment areas, or remotely, ARISE ensures the process is fast, secure, and simple for both patients and staff. Consolidating all payment types in one system reduces reconciliation errors and administrative complexity.

Reduces and Eliminates Processing Fees
Credit card processing fees can significantly impact practice revenue, especially when managing high volumes of transactions. ARISE offers AAP members access to Zero Cost Processing, a compliant approach that allows practices to reduce or eliminate processing fees. This program helps improve your practice’s profitability without disrupting the patient’s payment experience.

Saves Time with Automated Invoicing
Managing invoicing, payment reminders, and recurring billing manually can be time consuming and error prone. ARISE offers automated tools that generate professional, branded invoices quickly and send reminders to patients automatically. Recurring billing options help manage treatment plans spanning multiple appointments or extended periods. This automation reduces the administrative load on your staff and ensures more consistent, timely payments and can be integrated into practice management software.

Flexible Payment Options
Periodontal treatments often require multiple visits or ongoing care, making flexible payment options essential. ARISE provides secure payment links sent via email or text, online payment portals, and the ability to set up payment plans tailored to patients’ needs. These options improve treatment acceptance and patient satisfaction by making payments manageable and convenient.

White-Glove Onboarding + US-Based Support
Successful technology adoption requires reliable support. ARISE provides AAP members with dedicated onboarding assistance and ongoing access to US-based customer support. This ensures your practice can implement the platform smoothly and resolve any issues quickly, minimizing disruption to your daily operations.

The Benefits for Your Practice
ARISE is designed to address the unique challenges periodontal specialists face in managing payments and practice efficiency. By simplifying payment acceptance, eliminating processing fees, and automating billing and reminders, ARISE allows your staff to focus more on patient care and less on administrative tasks.

If your practice is looking to modernize payment processes with flexible, secure payment options with expert US-based onboarding and support, ARISE offers a tailored solution built with your needs in mind
