New Haven dental offices operate in a constrained triangle: high equipment costs, unpredictable patient volume tied to Yale's academic calendar, and slow-paying insurance panels. Most practices need capital for three reasons, buying into a partnership, replacing aging sterilization or imaging gear, or bridging the gap between payroll Friday and the insurance check that lands next Tuesday.
Traditional banks treat dental offices like retail. They aren't. Your revenue is contracted (PPO panels), your overhead is fixed (staff, rent on Church Street or Whalley Avenue), and your big expenses come in $50,000 chunks. That mismatch kills loan applications.
Cedargrove Credit brokers dental practice financing to lenders who underwrite on production reports, not just credit scores. We work with practices in Westville, Fair Haven, downtown near the Green, and along the Amity corridor in Woodbridge.
Loan programs
Our commercial business loans in New Haven guide explains the full menu. We also arrange commercial real estate loans for practices buying their building and equipment financing for any clinical or back-office technology.
fund practice acquisitions and major build-outs. A periodontist buying a retiring partner's equity can borrow up to $5 million with longer terms than conventional commercial credit.
covers chairs, autoclaves, digital X-ray sensors, and CAD/CAM mills. Lenders secure the loan with the equipment itself, so approval is faster, often two weeks.
turns unpaid insurance claims into cash within 48 hours. If Delta Dental or Cigna owes you $40,000 and payroll is due, factoring keeps you liquid.
lines of credit smooth the revenue valleys between semesters when students leave New Haven. Draw when you need it, pay interest only on what you use.
