Columbia Bank

The right tools to help your practice thrive.

As a dental practitioner, you’re focused on two things: the health of your patients and the health of your practice. When you bank with Columbia, you bank with people who understand what you need to maintain and develop a profitable practice.

Industry Expertise

Our dental bankers speak the language of dentists and work to guide them through the life cycle of a dental practice, from start-up or acquisition to retirement. Our bankers have many years of experience working with and lending to the dental industry, and we stay up to date on the latest trends and information impacting the dental community. Simply put, we make it our business to know your business.


We tailor our services to help your practice achieve and maintain success. We're with you every step of the way, offering flexibility, localized decision making, and the ability to give each and every client personalized care.


But our commitment doesn't stop there. To better serve practices outside our physical footprint, we have developed a wide range of products and services tailored to the dental industry that can fulfill all your banking needs no matter your location, while still providing the relationship and service you expect from a community bank.

Commercial Real Estate

You’ve worked hard to build and grow your practice. Taking the next step—ownership of the building where your practice is located—can prove to be a worthwhile investment for you and your practice. Columbia’s Healthcare Banking team is here to assist you in navigating the complex commercial real estate industry. Our dental practice expertise, combined with deep knowledge of ever-changing local markets, makes us the right choice as your banking consultant and advisor. We offer customized plans and financing packages that fit your specific situation, whether you’re purchasing land or an existing building.

Acquisition Financing

Purchasing an existing dental practice comes with its own unique set of challenges and benefits. Our bankers understand these nuances and work closely with you and your team of advisors to ensure the transition to your new practice is as smooth and streamlined as possible.

Complex transactions like these require flexible financing solutions. At Columbia Healthcare Banking, we provide a range of financial options suited specifically to your transaction. And like all of our dental loans, we offer 100% financing as well as fixed- and variable-interest rate options.
