So, you’re wondering, “Are dentists in high demand?”

Short answer: HECK YES.
Long answer: Only if you know how to run your practice like a modern business.

Here’s the thing: It’s 2025. Patients are Googling everything, insurance sucks harder than ever, and private practice isn’t what it used to be.

But guess what? Dentists who adapt are killing it. And the secret isn’t another 2-day CE course on smile design.

It’s understanding how to turn your dental practice into a recurring revenue machine with a membership program that actually grows with you.

Let’s unpack the hype with some spicy stories, cold-hard stats, and a business model that’s putting dentists on the map as in-demand, booked-out, and insanely profitable.


Dentistry Is in Demand… But Profit Isn’t Guaranteed

Newsflash: The ADA predicts a shortage of 10,000+ dentists in the U.S. over the next 5 years.

Sounds great, right?

Except… there’s a catch.

Even with all this demand:

  • Reimbursements are dropping

  • Insurance delays are getting worse

  • Patients are ghosting treatment plans

  • And DSOs are eating the little guy’s lunch

So while dentists are in demand, profitable, in-control dentists are the true unicorns .

If you want to be one of them, you’ve got to stop thinking like a technician and start thinking like a subscription-based business owner.


STORY: How Dr. Emily Became “The Most In-Demand Dentist in Dallas” (And Said Bye to Insurance Forever)

Let me tell you about Dr. Emily Jordan, a solo doc in Dallas.

Killer smile. Great clinical chops. Totally over it with insurance BS.

Despite being booked out two weeks in advance, she was still:

  • Chasing $87K in unpaid claims

  • Watching AR climb like a mountain goat

  • Losing patients when their employer changed insurance

That’s when she discovered BoomCloud™.

One membership plan, one strategy change, and one year later…

She had built $11,742 in Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR).
That’s $140,904 in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)without seeing more patients.

Her results:

Metric Before BoomCloud™ After BoomCloud™
MRR $0 $11,742
ARR $0 $140,904
Revenue per Patient $526 $1,287
Insurance Claims 100+ monthly 0

Now Dr. Emily is “in demand” on her terms — not insurance’s.


Dentists Are in Demand, But Only the Ones Who Understand THIS

Let’s be real: every dentist can clean teeth, fill cavities, and make someone’s smile pop. ✨

But the ones who crush it?

They understand this one truth:

Your practice isn’t just a clinic — it’s a SaaS-style business.

You need recurring revenue.
You need predictable income.
You need BoomCloud™ to make it happen.

Patients LOVE it. Your team LOVES it. And your bank account REALLY LOVES IT.


Let’s Get Nerdy With Some Stats, Shall We?

Dentists with membership programs powered by BoomCloud™ see:

  • 2x–4x more revenue per patient

  • 25–50% increase in treatment acceptance

  • Higher retention than insurance-based patients

  • MRR you can count on, every single month

And guess what?

The average BoomCloud™ practice generates $92,000+ per year in ARR — just from memberships.

CASE STUDY: Dr. Mike Scaled to $126K ARR in a Small Town

Dr. Mike runs a 3-op practice in Butte, Montana. Population: cows and snow. ❄️

But he launched a BoomCloud™ membership plan in 2023.

10 months later:

  • $10,500/month in recurring revenue

  • 684 active members

  • Patients on the plan spent 3.2x more than insurance patients

  • Left insurance completely

Now he’s the only dentist in town with predictable income AND a 3-month waitlist.


Are Dentists in High Demand?

✅ YES. Especially with aging boomers, post-COVID oral health neglect, and people finally realizing floss isn’t optional.

But demand ≠ profitability.
Smart dentists create demand by building businesses people love to pay monthly for.
