Let’s keep it real:
Most informed consent discussions for extractions are about as riveting as reading the safety instructions on an airplane. You’re stuck in a room, explaining risks and benefits, hoping the patient doesn’t freak out, sign the form, and bail forever.
But what if this “legal requirement” was actually the best opportunity of the year to build trust, loyalty, and lifetime value for your practice?
Welcome to the modern informed consent discussion for extractions—where you don’t just cover your assets… you use the moment to change your entire business.
STORY:
“How Dr. Jess Turned the Dreaded Extraction Consent Into a Membership Engine”
Dr. Jess used to dread extractions—not just because teeth are stubborn, but because consent discussions felt awkward and rushed. Patients were nervous, grumpy, and usually just wanted to get the pain over with.
One day, after reading a BoomCloud™ case study, she realized the informed consent discussion for extractions is actually the perfect “teachable moment.” Here’s why:
-
Patients are already thinking about their health and finances.
-
They’re worried about complications, follow-up, and cost.
-
They want reassurance and a sense of control.
So Dr. Jess and her team started adding ONE line to every consent conversation:
“Did you know our members get free follow-up visits, discounts on all extractions and future care, plus VIP access if you ever need urgent treatment again?”
What happened next?
-
Membership signups at time of extraction doubled within 90 days.
-
No-show rates for post-op checks dropped by 50%.
-
Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) jumped by $8,500 in six months.
-
Patient satisfaction (and referrals) soared.
“Transform the Informed Consent Discussion for Extractions Into a Recurring Revenue On-Ramp”
Let’s drop the legalese for a minute.
Here’s the deal:
-
Patients want to know the risks… but what they REALLY want is a plan for the future.
-
The best time to offer that? When they’re most open, attentive, and focused—right before you take out a tooth.
Imagine if every extraction wasn’t just a one-off procedure, but a door to recurring, predictable revenue.
Why membership plans win:
-
Members spend 2X to 4X more annually (and they’re less price-sensitive).
-
They return for hygiene, implants, and maintenance—not just in emergencies.
-
You control the care experience (not insurance companies).
-
MRR & ARR (Monthly/Annual Recurring Revenue) mean cash flow you can count on.
“From Risk to Relationship: The True Power of the Informed Consent Discussion for Extractions”
Let’s step into the patient’s shoes.
They’re anxious, maybe embarrassed, and worried about what comes after extraction.
You sit down, review the form, and instead of rattling off a list of complications, you say:
“Let’s talk about what happens next—how you can make sure this is your LAST painful surprise. Our in-house membership covers all your follow-up, discounts future extractions, and gives you year-round peace of mind for one low monthly fee.”
BOOM.
You’ve just reframed the consent from “covering risk” to “providing value.”
