If You’re Diagnosing Treatment But No One’s Saying Yes—You’ve Got a Revenue Problem

Lets talk about dental case acceptance average

You could be the Michelangelo of molars…
You could design the most beautiful crown this side of the Mississippi…
But if your patients aren’t saying “yes” to treatment, your talent is sitting on the shelf.

Reality check: The dental case acceptance average across the U.S. is around 50–60%.

That means HALF of the treatment you diagnose… just walks out the door.
❌ That’s missed revenue.
❌ That’s declining oral health.
❌ That’s your chair time getting ghosted.

But here’s the kicker: You can raise your dental case acceptance average to 80–90% by doing ONE thing differently…
→ Offering a membership plan patients can say YES to.

Let’s dive in, Jordon Comstock style (fun, edgy, irreverent, and profitable AF).


Story: How Dr. Elena Crane Took Her Acceptance Rate From 48% to 86%

Dr. Crane had the skills, the tech, and a top-tier team.
But every day ended with unanswered treatment plans and unbooked follow-ups.

Then she asked the million-dollar question:
“How can I increase my dental case acceptance average and stop leaving treatment on the table?”

Here’s what she did:
✅ Launched a patient membership plan using BoomCloud™
✅ Built her case presentation around VALUE, not insurance
✅ Focused on monthly payments, not giant scary totals

Her results after 6 months:

  • Case acceptance jumped from 48% to 86%

  • MRR = $29,000/month

  • ARR = $348,000/year

  • Revenue per patient = 3.2X more than before

Membership changed everything.


Offer: How to Increase Your Dental Case Acceptance Average

Here’s the 5-step plan:


✅ 1. Offer a Membership Plan That Removes Friction

The biggest enemy of case acceptance?
❌ Sticker shock
❌ Confusing insurance
❌ “I’ll think about it…”

Your solution:
“Join our Smile Club – just $35/month. Includes cleanings, exams, and 20–30% off all treatment.”

Use BoomCloud™ to:
✔️ Automate billing
✔️ Track treatment savings
✔️ Offer multi-tiered plans (e.g., cosmetic, perio)

Why it works:
✔️ Easier to say yes to a plan than a $4,000 treatment out of pocket
✔️ Patients already feel invested
✔️ MRR = recurring revenue for YOU

✅ 2. Train Your Team to Present Monthly Payments (Not Big Numbers)

When your front desk says, “That’ll be $1,850”…
The patient hears, “Nope, I’m out.”

But if they say:
“With your membership, that’s just $275/month for 6 months…”
Now you’re speaking their language.

Use BoomCloud™ to show savings and break down treatment cost transparently


✅ 3. Retarget Cold Leads With Ads That Reinforce Value

What about patients who ghost after consults?
Don’t give up—follow up.

Facebook/Instagram Retargeting Ads: “Still thinking about that smile makeover? Save 30% with our Smile Club. Offer ends Friday!”

✅ Link directly to your membership plan page
✅ BoomCloud™ lets you track conversions from your funnel

Result:
✔️ Higher conversion
✔️ Increased lifetime value
✔️ Better case acceptance even AFTER the consult


✅ 4. Track MRR, ARR, and Revenue Per Patient

You can’t improve what you don’t measure.

Your KPI dashboard should include:
MRR = Monthly Recurring Revenue
ARR = Annual Recurring Revenue
Revenue per Patient
Case Acceptance %

BoomCloud™ tracks it all in real time. You’ll know exactly how your membership plan is boosting your case acceptance and revenue.


From “Let Me Think About It” to “Where Do I Sign?”

Dr. Crane didn’t change her treatment…
She changed how she presented it.

She gave patients: ✔️ An easy-to-understand offer
✔️ A monthly plan they could afford
✔️ A reason to say YES today

Her dental case acceptance average skyrocketed
Her stress went down
Her recurring revenue went up

Now she runs her practice with clarity and confidence—not chaos.


Final Thoughts: Your Case Acceptance Problem is a Presentation Problem

Stop quoting high prices with no context
Stop relying on PPOs that deny and delay
Start offering patients VALUE they can say yes to
Start tracking MRR, ARR, and revenue per patient

✅ The easiest way to do that? A membership plan powered by BoomCloud™
