Want Real Dental Business Success? Drop the Insurance Ball & Chain
Let’s be real, Doc. If you’re trying to build dental business success while shackled to PPOs, you’re basically playing poker with half the deck — and the insurance companies are dealing.
Every month, you’re:
-
Writing off 30–50% of your fees
-
Fighting with insurance reps for pennies
-
Wondering why your bank account doesn’t match your production reports
And all you’ve got to show for it? A wall full of thank-you cards from Delta Dental. Cute.
Here’s the hard truth:
If you want to succeed in this game, you’ve got to flip the script.
And today, I’m going to show you exactly how to do it.
The Story: When a PPO Dentist Said “Screw This,” Everything Changed
I once spoke with a dentist — let’s call him Dr. B — who’d been in the game for over a decade. Crushing clinical work. Five-star reviews. Patients loved him.
But the numbers? They sucked.
He told me:
“Jordon, I’m working 50-hour weeks and barely taking home more than my associate. Insurance write-offs are killing me.”
He had over 2,000 active patients…
…but only $20K/month in real collections after adjustments.
Enter: The epiphany.
The Epiphany: Dental Business Success Comes From Recurring Revenue
What changed for Dr. B?
He launched a membership plan through BoomCloud™ and started gradually cutting ties with PPOs.
Why?
Because membership patients are more valuable than insurance ones. Let’s talk facts:
-
✅ They show up
-
✅ They don’t wait for insurance approval
-
✅ They accept treatment faster
-
✅ They spend 2X to 4X more
-
✅ They pay you directly — no middleman nonsense
More importantly?
They create Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR).
The #1 success metric for any modern dental business.
MRR, ARR, and Why Every Dentist Should Think Like a SaaS CEO
You’re not just running a dental practice anymore.
You’re running a recurring revenue machine.
Let’s break this down:
-
MRR = Monthly Recurring Revenue
-
ARR = Annual Recurring Revenue = MRR × 12
-
RPP = Revenue Per Patient — your most underused metric
If you’re not tracking these, you’re flying blind.
BoomCloud™ users are reporting:
-
$5,000 to $30,000+/month in MRR
-
$60,000 to $360,000 in ARR
-
A 40%+ boost in treatment acceptance from membership patients
That’s not just growth. That’s freedom.

Case Study: How Dr. Rachel Achieved True Dental Business Success
Let’s talk about Dr. Rachel, a GP out of Colorado.
Her practice was successful on the outside — new equipment, happy team, growing patient list.
But behind the scenes?
She was drowning in PPOs and stuck at $0 profit by the 15th of every month.
So she made the shift:
-
Launched a BoomCloud™ membership plan
-
Offered “first month free” to get traction
-
Promoted it to uninsured patients and through referral cards
-
Trained her team on value > volume
12 Months Later:
-
520 active members
-
$19,000/month in MRR
-
Treatment acceptance up 39%
-
✌️ Dropped 3 insurance contracts
-
♀️ Actually took a vacation (for once)
Now she runs the practice. The practice doesn’t run her.
BoomCloud™ didn’t just give her a tool — it gave her a real business model.

|---|---|---|---|
| 100 | $35 | $3,500 | $42,000 |
| 300 | $35 | $10,500 | $126,000 |
