Hey Tooth Boss! Quick question-
What’s worse than a patient ghosting you right before delivery of their fancy new partial denture? Answer: Getting ghosted AND realizing you undercoded it, eating lab costs like a free buffet.
Today’s mission: we’re gonna break down the D5214 dental code (like a boss), show you how to bill it properly, and then crank your recurring revenue into high gear using a secret weapon — BoomCloud™ membership plans. Ready? Let’s roll.
The Facts: What Is the D5214 Dental Code?
Time for your mini CDT boot camp:
✅ D5214 — Mandibular partial denture — cast metal framework with resin denture bases (including conventional clasps, rests and teeth).
In plain speak: This is your durable, premium lower partial — sturdy cast metal frame, resin base, solid clasps — made to last (and worth every penny).
Pro Tip: If you’re working on the top arch, you want D5213, same deal, just upstairs.
The Big Leak: Undercoding D5214 Robs You Blind
Here’s the brutal reality:
-
Cast metal partials eat up your lab budget, chair time, staff energy, and your soul if you’re not charging properly.
-
Average national fee for D5214? $1,200–$2,500.
-
Too many dentists either undercode it or fold it into treatment plans with zero clarity.
Translation: You’re doing $2,000 worth of work for $800. Ouch.

Real Story: Dr. Larkin’s Partial Denture Turnaround
Meet Dr. Larkin, a GP in Tulsa who hated partial dentures more than a surprise root canal on a Friday.
Pre-BoomCloud™:
-
He quoted $1,800 for a cast partial.
-
Patients ghosted or “thought about it.”
-
Lab bill? Still due.
Post-BoomCloud™:
-
Dr. Larkin offered a membership: $35/month for preventive care and sweet discounts on partials.
-
Patients joined first — no more sticker shock.
-
Within 10 months:
250 members signed up.
$8,750 MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue).
$105,000 ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue).
No more unpaid lab fees. No more awkward payment talks. He turned D5214 into a membership gold mine.
MRR & ARR: Your Practice’s Financial Forcefield
Let’s break it down:
-
MRR = Monthly Recurring Revenue. Cash that shows up whether you’re working or golfing.
-
ARR = Annual Recurring Revenue. A safety net for your practice’s future.
Netflix? Spotify? They thrive on MRR. With BoomCloud™, so do smart dental practices.
Imagine starting every month with $8K–$20K locked in. Would you lose sleep over one no-show partial patient? Nope.
