Let’s start with a nasty little secret in dentistry: According to the ADA, over 15 million root canals are performed annually in the US—but estimates say just as many needed root canals are never scheduled because patients balk at cost, fear, or “let me think about it” land. Yikes. That’s a mountain of lost revenue and, more importantly, untreated dental disease.
But here’s the kicker: Getting clear, enthusiastic patient consent isn’t just about a signature on a form. It’s about removing obstacles—financial, emotional, and practical. And that, my friend, is where the membership model explodes traditional barriers and creates a win-win for both patients and your practice.
Story: Root Canals, Consent, and the Magic of Membership
Let’s get real. The “consent for root canal treatment” process can feel like legalese meets torture script:
-
Scare the patient (but legally).
-
Hand them a multi-page document.
-
Hope they sign and don’t run for the hills.
Sound familiar? Now imagine the same scenario, but the patient is a member of your in-house plan. They’re used to predictable, discounted, and transparent pricing. They know your team. Their trust level is through the roof. Instead of “Can I afford this?” they’re thinking, “Let’s get this done!”
BoomCloud™ users see this play out every single day. Membership patients are statistically 2X to 4X more likely to say yes to recommended treatment (root canals included) versus non-member patients. Why? Because membership programs build what every practice dreams of: Loyalty, predictability, and a tribe of raving fans who come back and refer their friends.
“Our AR (annual recurring revenue) from memberships has grown 5X since launching BoomCloud™. Our MRR (monthly recurring revenue) pays our rent, and our root canal acceptance rates have never been higher.”
— Dr. Susan P., BoomCloud™ Practice Case Study
Membership Programs Turn Patients Into Lifetime Fans
Let’s walk the “epiphany bridge” so you (and your team) see why this works:
-
Traditional Consent:
-
Patient is anxious.
-
Price is unpredictable.
-
Consent is just a signature, not a commitment.
-
Result: “I’ll call you if I decide to schedule.”
-
-
BoomCloud™ Membership Consent:
-
Patient feels like a VIP (because they are).
-
Knows their discount ahead of time.
-
Sees value in long-term oral health.
-
Result: “I trust you. Let’s book it!”
-
The Data Doesn’t Lie
-
Membership patients spend 2X to 4X more per year than non-members.
-
BoomCloud™ users see up to a 65% increase in case acceptance rates for major treatments.
-
Practices with a strong membership base have a 35% higher patient retention rate and consistently higher reviews online.
That’s not just good business—it’s the best path to scaling your practice’s MRR and ARR. In plain English: Membership programs give you a financial safety net and a marketing engine in one.
Stop Letting Root Canal Revenue Slip Away
Here’s where we break it down—practical steps you can steal (seriously, swipe them!) to make sure you get enthusiastic, compliant consent for root canals and create lifetime patient value.

Case Study: Scaling a Practice with BoomCloud™
Let’s talk numbers, because Jordon Comstock loves a good stat.
Practice: Urban Smiles Dental
-
Before BoomCloud™: 7% of patients on in-house plan, low recurring revenue, root canal case acceptance at 36%.
-
After BoomCloud™: 28% of patients on membership, $14k/month MRR, root canal acceptance up to 62%, overall patient value up 3.5X.
“BoomCloud™ let us offer root canal consent as a benefit, not a burden. Our members are more loyal, refer more, and accept treatment at rates I never thought possible.” — Dr. C. Martinez
The Big Picture: Optimizing Revenue Per Patient Is the Best Way to Grow
Let’s face it—acquisition is expensive. Retention is gold. The #1 lever for fast, profitable growth? Increase revenue per patient (RPP). How? Membership programs. Patients on a membership plan:
-
Show up for more appointments.
-
Say yes to more comprehensive treatment.
-
Generate predictable monthly and annual recurring revenue.
-
Refer their friends and family (because they love the experience).
Here’s a wild stat: The average dental practice collects only 60% of production potential. Imagine if you doubled or even tripled your RPP with a robust, automated membership program—like BoomCloud™.
Final Takeaway: Want More Root Canal Revenue? Build the Bridge with Membership.
Root canals will always be a tough sell—unless your patients are primed, educated, and enrolled in a membership plan that makes them feel like dental VIPs. Stop leaving money (and patient health) on the table.
