LET’S GET REAL FOR A SEC…
Hey dental peeps — are you still stuck with clunky software that feels like it was built in 1999… by a guy with a dial-up modem and zero understanding of dentistry?

If you’re reading this and thinking, “Yup, that’s me,” it’s time to wake up and smell the subscription revenue. Because there’s a silent revolution going on in dentistry — and the secret weapon behind the fastest-growing, most profitable practices?

A Membership Program + Killer Free Dental Software = MRR MACHINE


STORY TIME: The $80K A Month Epiphany

Let’s talk about Dr. Brett — a general dentist in Utah who used to live in fear of insurance audits, flaky patients, and unpredictable revenue. Sound familiar?

He was hustling 5-6 days a week, stressed AF, and still couldn’t predict how much cash he’d bring in next month.

Then he had his “BoomCloud™ Epiphany”

“Why the heck am I relying on Delta Dental when I could build my own recurring revenue machine like Netflix… but for teeth?”

Dr. Brett rolled out a membership plan using BoomCloud™, plugged it into a modern, free dental software, and everything changed.


THE EPIPHANY

If you’re still dealing with:

  • Insurance rejections

  • No-shows and late cancellations ⏰

  • Stress about end-of-month revenue

Then you’re about to cross the same bridge. Ready?

Let’s break down how a membership plan integrated with the right free dental software turns your practice into a monthly recurring revenue (MRR) machine — and why it’s the best way to grow your practice without working more days.


WHY FREE DENTAL SOFTWARE IS JUST THE START…

Not all “free dental software” is created equal. Most are “free” until you sneeze. Then come the upsells, missing features, and spaghetti UX that gives your team panic attacks.

Here’s what your software should actually do for you:

✅ Manage patients & plans effortlessly
✅ Integrate payments & billing
✅ Automate renewals, reminders, and reporting
✅ Play nice with BoomCloud™
✅ Be so intuitive your team doesn’t need 6 weeks of training

When paired with BoomCloud™, you get more than software.

You get an engine for growth.


MRR: THE HOLY GRAIL OF DENTAL PRACTICE GROWTH

Let’s talk numbers. Because numbers don’t lie — and you’ve probably never seen these kinds of stats from insurance patients.

Membership-based practices:

  • Earn 2X to 4X more per patient compared to insurance-based models

  • Have 80%+ patient retention rates

  • Grow monthly recurring revenue (MRR) and annual recurring revenue (ARR) without adding more chairs or more stress

Let’s say you add 300 members at $30/month…
That’s $9,000/month in recurring revenue.
Or $108,000/year — predictable, reliable, stress-free.

That’s called ARR — and it’s how you sleep better at night.


CASE STUDY: HOW A PRACTICE USED BOOMCLOUD™ TO SCALE MEMBERSHIPS & DOMINATE

Practice: Riverbend Dental Group
Location: Colorado
Challenge: Insurance burnout, low case acceptance, unpredictable revenue
Solution: Built a custom in-house membership plan with BoomCloud™
Results:

  • Added 400 members in 9 months

  • Increased case acceptance by 32%

  • Boosted revenue per patient by 2.7X

  • Generated $12,000+/month in MRR

“BoomCloud™ was the system we didn’t know we needed. It made our membership plan scalable, repeatable, and profitable.”


THE OFFER – BUILD YOUR OWN DENTAL NETFLIX

You’re not just selling “dental care” — you’re creating a community that pays you monthly to take better care of their health.

Here’s what you need to launch your own plan:

DATA-BACKED ROI FROM MEMBERSHIPS

  • 89% of patients are more likely to accept treatment when they’re members.

  • Member patients visit 3X more often (and spend more per visit).

  • Average lifetime value (LTV) of a member patient is 3X higher.

  • Revenue per patient increases $478 to $1,242/year depending on your pricing.

  3. Patients stay loyal & return more often

  4. Case acceptance goes up

  5. Revenue per patient skyrockets

  6. You reinvest in marketing & scaling

  7. You make it rain
