Summer slowdowns in dental practices are nothing new, but this year may bring a steeper dip.
According to a report from the ADA Health Policy Institute, Economic Outlook and Emerging Issues in Dentistry, 2025, over 37% of dentists reported lower patient volume due to economic headwinds and inflation, a trend expected to continue as many families cut back on healthcare spending. Even patients with insurance are opting to delay or skip routine and elective procedures.
That means:
In this climate, it’s critical to maintain access to capital to keep your team paid, your operations running smoothly, and your growth initiatives on track—even when patient flow slows down.
