Upper East Dental Innovations PLLC, a Manhattan general and cosmetic dentistry practice, has begun accepting cryptocurrency for payment of service. The change makes the office the first in the region to accept the payment method, according to the practice. 

The move comes as the newest innovation for a practice with a history of new concepts. Operated and owned by cosmetic and implant dentist, Dr. Sharde Harvey, DDS, MS, FICOI, the practice was early to adopt same-day crown procedures, stem cells in dental treatment, and cone beam computed tomography. 

"If you have watched the evolution of currency, you will see that we have moved from barter to paper money, from credit cards to digital wallets, and now cryptocurrency has arrived,” said Dr. Harvey. “More and more other small businesses are accepting cryptocurrency as payment, exactly as credit cards have become a way of life today. I can see the future of currency in cryptocurrency because it's faster, more efficient, more cost effective and actually more secure. In keeping up with Technology, one of the cornerstones of our practice, we are proud to now offer the convenience of cryptocurrency as a form of payment for dental services."

Accepted cryptocurrencies include bitcoin, dogecoin, and ethereum.
