In dentistry today, PPOs are not your friend, they hurt your cash flow, demolish your profit margins, jeopardize your patient relationships & use A.I. to deny claims!!

If I had an employee or partner that messed up my business like that, I would FIRE them ASAP! 

$47. No fluff. Just results.

You in?

Raise your hand if the D2140 dental code has ever made you want to chuck your dental insurance contracts into the shredder. ‍♂️

You know the drill:

  • Patient needs a simple one-surface amalgam filling (D2140).

  • You do the work.

  • You submit the claim.

  • Insurance says: “Hmm. We think this should be preventive. Or maybe a sealant. Here’s $30.”

Meanwhile, your overhead laughs hysterically as it drains your bank account every day.

What if I told you this boring little D2140 dental code could actually become your loyal patient magnet and your passive income generator — if you wrap it in a smart membership plan?

Stick with me. I’m about to flip your D2140 world upside down.


Meet Dr. Harper

— owner of the raddest neighborhood practice in Portland. He’s got craft coffee for patients, TikTok-famous staff, and a record-breaking collection of unpaid D2140 write-offs. ☕

Every month, he’d pull his hair out watching:

  • $80 insurance checks for $180 fillings.

  • Patients ghost him when they hear, “Your filling isn’t fully covered.”

One day, scrolling Facebook at midnight, he found BoomCloud™ and had his Russell Brunson epiphany:

“What if I stop letting insurance undervalue my D2140 dental code — and instead make patients love paying for it every month?”

Fast forward a year:
✅ 470 loyal members.
✅ $16,400 Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR).
✅ $196,800 locked Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR).
✅ 85% filling acceptance rate — because “discounted and predictable” beats “surprise bill.”

Boom. The D2140 dental code just turned into Dr. Harper’s favorite little money printer.


Here’s your mic-drop plan:

Package your D2140 dental code with exams, X-rays, and cleanings inside a membership plan.
Automate the whole machine with BoomCloud™.
Wake up every month to predictable cash flow, less insurance drama, and patients who say YES to treatment like it’s a new iPhone drop.


As Dan Kennedy says: “Smart businesses sell certainty and convenience.”

Insurance makes the D2140 dental code confusing:

  • “Why isn’t this covered?”

  • “Can I wait?”

  • “I’ll just do it next year.”

Patients delay. Decay spreads. You become the villain when the tooth cracks.

But with a membership plan:
✅ Predictable monthly fee.
✅ No surprise bills.
✅ Fillings feel like a perk, not a punishment.

BoomCloud™ turns this chaos into a frictionless, auto-billing loyalty machine.


The Stats You Need to Know:

Patients on a membership plan spend 2X–4X more per year.

BoomCloud™ practices generate $10k–$20k in MRR in under two years.

Insurance AR drops 50% or more.

Membership patients have 70% higher treatment acceptance.

Translation: the D2140 dental code + membership plan = your practice’s new best friend.


Dr. Harper’s D2140 Dental Code Turnaround:

Before BoomCloud™:
❌ $85 write-offs per filling.
❌ 30% of patients skipped fillings altogether.
❌ Cash flow stress every 1st of the month.

After BoomCloud™:
✅ D2140 included as a discounted perk.
✅ Patients show up and approve treatment SAME DAY.
✅ $16,400 MRR covers 80% of fixed expenses before he even picks up a mirror.
✅ Happy patients, busy ops, stress-free Fridays.

He calls it his Amalgam ATM.
