Collect more of what patients owe, with less card handling.

Pulse helps dental practices collect patient responsibility by text-to-pay, take payments over the phone, and automate treatment payment plans — faster collection, and card data kept off your front desk.

The challenge

What’s slowing collection down.

Patient balances after insurance go uncollected when the only option is a mailed statement.

Front-desk and phone payments mean staff handling cards — a PCI and privacy risk.

Payment plans for crowns, ortho, and implants are manual and hard to enforce.

How Pulse helps

Built for dental, on one secure platform.

Text-to-pay balances

Text patients a secure link to their post-insurance balance; one tap pays it, far faster than paper statements.

Secure front-desk & phone payments

Take payments over the phone by keypad, isolated from front-desk staff and recordings.

Treatment payment plans

Split ortho, implant, and crown balances into scheduled, auto-charged installments on a vaulted method.

Branded patient portal

A self-service page to view and pay balances and manage plans — under your practice’s brand.

AI recall & balance reminders

An AI agent reminds patients of balances and upcoming plan charges automatically.

No card at the front desk

PCI DSS Level 1 and tokenized — staff never key or store card numbers.

FAQ

Dental payments, answered.

How do dental patients pay a balance by text?

Pulse texts the patient a secure link to their post-insurance balance. They tap it and pay on a tokenized checkout with no app or login, which collects patient responsibility far faster than mailed statements.

Can the front desk take payments over the phone securely?

Yes. Patients enter card details by keypad straight into the gateway; front-desk staff never see or handle the card number, keeping it out of your PCI scope.

Does it support treatment payment plans?

Yes. Larger balances for ortho, implants, or crowns can be split into scheduled installments and auto-charged on a securely vaulted method, with automated reminders.

Is patient card data secure?

Payments run on PCI DSS Level 1 rails with tokenized vaulting, so raw card numbers never touch your staff, systems, or recordings.

Will it work with our practice-management software?

Pulse is vendor-agnostic and layers onto the systems and phones you already use.
