“If you’re still relying solely on insurance… you’re already 10 years behind.”
— Every successful private dentist ever

Okay, doc — let’s keep it . Anterior crown prep? Sexy. Necessary. But also… expensive for patients. You and I both know the second you say “crown,” insurance ghosts faster than a Tinder match who finds out you love collecting molars. That leaves your patients with either a fat bill or worse… no treatment at all.

But what if I told you that you could turn this situation around — drastically — with a simple move that’s scaling dental practices across the country?

Keep reading, because we’re about to drop truth bombs, revenue growth hacks, and case studies hotter than a curing light at full blast. Let’s GO.


The Real Cost of “Anterior Crown Prep” Without a Membership Plan

If you’re offering anterior crown prep and relying on insurance reimbursement, here’s what you’re up against:

  • Insurance delays = patient drop-offs

  • Patients hesitant to commit due to out-of-pocket cost

  • Treatment plan acceptance down the drain

Now imagine telling your patient:

“Hey Sally, with your membership plan, your crown prep is 25% off, no waiting periods, and no B.S. approval process.”

Guess who’s booking that appointment? ️


The Story: Why One Utah Practice Ditched Insurance and Crushed It Using BoomCloud™

Let’s talk about Sugarhouse Dental — a private practice in Salt Lake City that was stuck playing the insurance game.

Before BoomCloud™:

  • 40% treatment plan acceptance on anterior crowns

  • MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) = virtually zero

  • 65% of time wasted chasing down claims

After implementing a custom membership plan with BoomCloud™:

  • 3X increase in crown acceptance within 3 months

  • 325 active members = $19,500/mo in recurring revenue

  • ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) hit $234,000

They created a tiered plan:
✅ Basic cleanings + checkups
✅ Emergency visits
✅ 20% off crowns, implants, and cosmetic work
✅ No insurance involved

BOOM. Patients happy. Practice profitable.


Membership Patients Spend 2X to 4X More!

Here’s what really got Sugarhouse Dental buzzing — and what blew our minds too:

Membership patients spent 2X to 4X MORE than insurance patients

According to BoomCloud™’s internal analytics, practices with strong in-house membership plans see explosive revenue per patient.

Why?

  • No insurance roadblocks

  • Patients feel emotionally invested (loyal AF)

  • Discounts reduce cost objections

  • Consistent visits = more diagnoses = more procedures

Optimizing Revenue Per Patient = Smartest Way to Grow

Let’s talk dental economics for a sec.

Old way:

Get more patients = work more hours = burn out

New way:

Optimize revenue per patient = work less, earn more = freedom

With anterior crown prep, your margins are already solid. But bundle that with a membership plan and suddenly you’re stacking:

  • Increased treatment case acceptance

  • Faster conversion from consultation to treatment

  • Reduced cancellations (because they’re already financially committed)

That’s how you scale sustainably.


Why Membership > Insurance Every Day of the Week

Insurance Sucks Because:

  • It limits treatment options

  • Delays approvals

  • Confuses patients

  • Makes you jump through flaming hoops

Membership Plans Rock Because:

  • You set the rules

  • Zero claim rejections

  • Immediate cash flow

  • Built-in loyalty program

If you’re not selling membership while offering anterior crown prep… you’re leaving money on the tray.


Cool Ideas for Maximizing Anterior Crown Prep

Here’s how to make those anterior preps turn into monthly profit fountains:

Bundle Crown Prep in Premium Tiers
Include free whitening trays with anterior cases
Promote “Smile Makeover Packages” with cosmetic crowns
