 Want Loyal Patients Who Actually Love Your Practice? Stop Doing What Everyone Else is Doing!

Let’s cut to the chase & discuss creating loyal patients: Most dental & wellness practices struggle because they’re doing the same old boring stuff—hoping loyalty magically appears like a tooth fairy slipping bills under pillows. ‍♀️ Spoiler alert: that never works.

But imagine this: Your patients happily paying monthly, showing up excited for appointments (no, seriously!), and spending 2X to 4X more on treatment because they trust and adore your practice.

Sound impossible? Nah, it’s just smart strategy. Let’s talk about creating loyal patients who turn your dental practice into a recurring revenue powerhouse.


Strategy #1: Membership Plans (Aka The Holy Grail of Loyalty )

Membership plans aren’t just nice—they’re necessary. Patients enrolled in your membership program spend up to 4X more than PPO patients because they feel valued and invested.

BoomCloud™ Membership Software makes this super easy:

Plan Builder (customized plans your patients actually want) ✅ Patient Enrollment Landing Page & Patient PortalAutomated Billing & Membership Management (predictable revenue) ✅ Credit Card Decline Minimizer(no revenue lost!) ✅ Team Reward Tracker (gamify growth & reward your team)

Real-Life Case Study:

  • 7 to 7 Dental exploded their practice to 3,484 active members, generating $156,780 MRR ($1.88 million ARR)after launching a membership plan with BoomCloud™. That’s not just loyalty—it’s obsession-level patient devotion!

Strategy #2: Patient Experience Design (Be More Disney, Less DMV )

Here’s a shocking truth: Most patients see visiting a dentist like visiting the DMV—painful, slow, and unpleasant. Change that perception by designing a patient experience that’s actually enjoyable.

✅ Create welcoming, fun, and comfortable waiting areas (coffee bars, Netflix anyone?) ✅ Reduce friction: Easy online booking, quick digital check-in, and clear communication. ✅ Surprise and delight your patients: Birthday cards, personalized follow-ups, gifts for new members.

Happy patients become repeat patients. Period.


Strategy #3: Culture Eats Strategy for Breakfast

Your office culture directly affects patient loyalty. Toxic office environments lead to indifferent staff, unhappy patients, and empty chairs.

Ideas to Build Winning Culture:

  • Reward Staff with BoomCloud’s Team Tracker: Celebrate wins and memberships.
  • Open Communication: Regular team meetings to discuss goals, ideas, and solutions.
  • Make Work Fun: Contests, team-building activities, and incentives.

When your team loves coming to work, your patients notice—and loyalty follows.


Strategy #4: Patient Marketplace – Visibility & Loyalty Amplified

BoomCloud’s Patient Marketplace is like having your own membership magnet—patients actively looking for savings on dental care.

  • Patients visit Marketplace → Find your practice → Book an appointment & sign up for a membership → Become loyal, long-term patients.

Marketplace listings complement your existing SEO and ad campaigns. Think of it as a supercharger for your patient acquisition strategy.


Strategy #5: Funnel Magic – Dan Kennedy Style

Dan Kennedy didn’t become a marketing legend by accident. His funnels attract loyal patients by following a clear, compelling journey. Here’s your winning funnel structure using BoomCloud and ClickFunnels:

Hook: Irresistible offer like “Join Our Membership and Save Thousands on Dental Care!” ✅ Story: Testimonials & case studies (e.g., Ala Moana Dental Care’s 854 members and $246,000 ARR) showing success and transformation. ✅ Offer: Simple and powerful: “Sign up for just $1 and start saving today!”

Funnel Steps:

  1. Patient clicks your enticing offer.
  2. BoomCloud captures their info on a dedicated landing page.
  3. Automated follow-up sequence educates and nurtures leads.
  4. Patients effortlessly sign up for membership via patient portal.

Membership patients spend 200%-400% more on treatments and are fiercely loyal. The math speaks for itself.


How Loyalty Transforms Your Practice (and Life!)

Remember Dr. Evans from Wood River Dental? He started skeptical—unsure if membership plans would work. Fast forward 24 months after launching his BoomCloud membership:

718 active members$30,608 Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) ✅ Over $367,000 Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)

Patients didn’t just return—they became raving fans, referring friends and family, and spending significantly more than insured patients. Why? Because membership plans create trust, comfort, and genuine loyalty.


Data That Proves Loyalty Pays (Literally!)

  • Membership patients accept treatment plans 40% more often.
  • Recurring revenue (MRR & ARR) stabilizes your practice’s financial future.
  • Practices with active memberships see patient spend increase by 2X–4X.

When you prioritize loyalty, you unlock your practice’s true potential.
