Software for Dentistry: How Membership Programs Turn Your Clinic into a Recurring‑Revenue Machine

Written by: Lisa Rasmussen

Dentistry is way more fun when you’re not begging insurance companies for crumbs. And even better when your bank account gets filled every. single. month. thanks to Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) from loyal, happy patients.

Yet most dentists are still stuck on the old-school rollercoaster:
Chaotic schedules
Crappy reimbursements
Treatment plans collecting dust
Unpredictable revenue

So how do you break out?

Software for dentistry + in-house membership plans = your unfair advantage.

Welcome to the BoomCloud™ era — where your practice turns into a cash-flowing membership machine.


Story

Let’s talk about Dr. Amanda (yes, real doc—just changing the name for privacy). She ran a successful practice in Austin, but every month felt like a financial cliffhanger. New patients came in, but many left when they saw the price tag — or tried to “check with insurance” and ghosted her team. Sound familiar?

Then she stumbled on BoomCloud™ while Googling “how the hell do I grow my dental practice without selling my soul to Delta Dental?”

She built a simple, value-packed membership plan:
✅ $29/month for preventive care
✅ 15% off all treatment
✅ No waiting periods, no nonsense
✅ Managed entirely by BoomCloud™

Within 18 months, Amanda had:

  • 527 active members

  • $15,283 MRR

  • $183,396 ARR (predictable annual revenue)

  • Patients on her membership plan were spending 3.4x more than PPO patients

  • Treatment acceptance skyrocketed — because patients had prepaid loyalty

BoomCloud™ turned Amanda’s office into a membership-based profit machine — no extra ops, no sales tricks, just a smarter model.


 If you want that kind of predictable growth, here’s how to start using software for dentistry like a boss:

Step 1: Create a dental membership plan
Use BoomCloud™ to build tiers:

  • Basic: Cleanings, exams, x-rays

  • Plus: Add fluoride, discounts

  • Perio: Maintenance visits, deep cleanings

Step 2: Automate the backend
BoomCloud™ handles:

  • Billing

  • Renewals

  • Tracking

  • Compliance/legal ⚖️

Step 3: Train your team to pitch it
No selling — just educating:

“Most of our patients love saving money and skipping insurance headaches. Our in-house plan makes dentistry affordable again.”

Step 4: Track your metrics
Use BoomCloud™’s dashboard to monitor:

  • MRR / ARR

  • of active members

  • Treatment acceptance

  • Revenue per patient

This isn’t insurance. It’s better. You’re building a loyalty engine that multiplies your income and helps patients say “yes” to the treatment they need.

Now here’s the shift — your “AHA” moment.

You don’t need to fight for new patients every month. You don’t need 10,000 Instagram followers. You need revenue per patient to go up.

And guess what?
Membership patients spend 2x–4x more than PPO patients.

Why?
Because they:

  • Come in more regularly ️

  • Feel financially committed

  • Get preventive care and catch issues early

  • Don’t delay treatment due to “insurance problems”

One BoomCloud™ study showed a ~35% increase in treatment acceptance with active members vs. PPO patients. That’s real money.

Want to scale your practice without burnout?

☑️ Stop chasing volume
☑️ Start increasing value per patient
☑️ Use software for dentistry that actually supports growth


Data, Metrics, & Money Magic

Let’s get nerdy. Here’s what practices using BoomCloud™ are seeing:

Metric BoomCloud™ Average
MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) $15,000+ in strong practices
ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) $180,000+ from memberships alone
Active Members 400–1,000+
Patient Spend Increase 2x to 4x more than PPO
Treatment Acceptance Up to 65% with active members
Average Plan Price $30–$45/month

And guess what? These metrics aren’t theoretical — they’re being used in hundreds of practices across the U.S.


Case Study: The $1 Million Membership Plan

BoomCloud™ helped a Utah-based practice scale to over 1,000 members, resulting in $35,000 MRR — aka $420,000 ARR

But the real kicker?

They optimized their revenue-per-patient so well that they reduced their insurance dependence by 60%, cut overhead by 15%, and spent zero dollars on marketing that year — because patients referred their friends into the plan.

This is what smart software for dentistry should be doing:
Revenue. Loyalty. Simplicity. Not just scheduling or eClaims.


Why Revenue per Patient > New Patients

Old school marketing says:

“Get 50 new patients this month!”

But what if you could double the revenue of your existing patients instead?

Here’s why that wins:
Lower marketing spend
Higher profit margins
More treatment completed
❤️ Better patient relationships
Predictable recurring income

The average dental patient only stays active for 1.5–2 years under insurance. With membership, that number jumps — and every year they stay, your practice grows.


FAQs

Is a dental membership plan legal?
Yes — as long as you’re transparent, follow state rules, and don’t market it as insurance. BoomCloud™ offers compliant templates and support.

How fast can I launch a plan?
With BoomCloud™, many practices launch in 7–14 days.

How do I price my membership plan?
Start around $30/month. Build tiers for perio patients and those needing more maintenance.

Will my team need extra training?
Only a little! BoomCloud™ provides scripts, onboarding, and customer support.

Do I still need insurance?
You can offer both — but many practices using membership plans reduce their PPOs dramatically over time.

Is BoomCloud™ the best software for dentistry memberships?
100% yes. It was built by dental pros, for dental pros — and manages the entire membership lifecycle.
