If Your Dental Treatment Planning Sequence Is Just “Fill Out the Chart and Hope”—It’s Time to Upgrade Your Game (and Your Profits)
Let’s get brutally honest:
Most practices treat treatment planning like a boring checklist. Patient comes in, X-rays get slapped onto the monitor, a few boxes are ticked, and…crickets. No one is inspired. No one is loyal. Your team looks like they’d rather be at the DMV.
But here’s the epiphany:
Your dental treatment planning sequence is your #1 sales, loyalty, and profit tool—IF you systematize it, humanize it, and make it about patient outcomes (not just teeth). And if you plug in a membership program, you go from “maybe” to “YES!” more than double the time.
Ready to learn the step-by-step blueprint top docs are using to turn every patient into a raving, high-value fan? Let’s do this.
How Dr. Lee’s Sequence Turned Stressed Patients Into Lifetime Fans (and MRR Gold)
Dr. Lee was that dentist.
Super talented, but always running behind, case acceptance was low, and patients often ghosted after the consult. Staff turnover? Don’t even ask.
One Friday, Dr. Lee attended a treatment planning workshop and had his “aha!” moment.
Instead of winging it, he built a rock-solid dental treatment planning sequence with:
-
Visual step-by-step handouts (no more jargon bombs)
-
Membership pricing built into every phase
-
“What happens if I do nothing?” explained in plain English
-
Team roleplay to smooth out handoffs
-
BoomCloud™ to track memberships, revenue per patient, and automate follow-ups
The result?
-
Acceptance jumped from 40% to 83%
-
MRR more than doubled in six months
-
ARR shot past $100K
-
Patients started referring friends (“My dentist makes it EASY!”)
-
Team morale was at an all-time high
Dr. Lee’s sequence became legendary. Patients didn’t just say “yes”—they stayed.
What Is a Dental Treatment Planning Sequence—and Why Does It Matter?
In plain English?
A dental treatment planning sequence is the repeatable roadmap for presenting care in a way patients actually understand—and WANT.
When you systematize your sequence, you don’t just treat teeth; you build trust, loyalty, and (let’s be honest) a killer bottom line.
Here’s Why It Matters:
-
Patients need clarity, not confusion.
-
A clear sequence builds trust and urgency.
-
Case acceptance soars—patients aren’t overwhelmed, they’re empowered.
-
It creates the perfect opportunity to introduce membership plans for massive recurring revenue.
-
Your team knows exactly what to say, when to say it, and how to make it easy for patients to say “yes!”
The Numbers Don’t Lie:
-
Offices with a documented treatment planning sequence see 37% higher acceptance
-
Memberships offered during the sequence increase recurring revenue per patient by 2–4x
-
Practices with “phased” care presentations retain 82% more patients for long-term care

MRR, ARR & The Revenue Power of a Killer Sequence
Let’s get nerdy (in a good way):
-
MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue):
Every membership, closed through your sequence, adds to predictable cash flow. -
ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue):
More memberships and full-care cases = BIG growth, lower stress. -
Revenue Per Patient:
Membership and sequenced care mean each patient brings 2–4x the value (and stays way longer).
Real-World Data:
-
Practices using membership-based sequencing see 3x higher referral rates
-
Revenue per patient climbs from $900 to $2,600+ in under a year
