On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes is joined by Steve Steinbrunner of Provide, powered by Fifth Third Bank, for a deep dive into the current state of dental lending. Despite economic uncertainty and mixed signals from the broader market, Steve shares why Provide is seeing record-breaking activity in financing dental startups, acquisitions, ground-up builds, and real estate purchases. They discuss how interest rate trends are actually opening new doors for practice owners, what separates successful borrowers from risky ones, and why bringing in the right advisors is more critical than ever.
Steve also offers key insights for dentists looking to scale beyond a single location, and how to align yourself with a lender that supports long-term growth—not just one-time transactions. This is a must-listen for anyone planning to launch, expand, or optimize their dental practice in today's shifting landscape.
