The Best Dental Business Strategy: Become Fee For Service
“You’re not a hamster. So why are you running on the insurance wheel?”
— Me, Jordon Comstock (probably eating cookies in your breakroom)
If you’re a dental practice owner still depending on PPOs to pay your bills, here’s a little wake-up call: You’re working harder, making less, and stressing more.
And for what?
45-minute hold times with Delta Dental? 25% write-offs? A free toothbrush?
Nah, bro. It’s 2026. Let’s talk about a dental business strategy that actually works—one that brings in real money, builds real loyalty, and gives you permission to stop hyperventilating into your PPE.
It’s time to go fee-for-service, backed by BoomCloud™ and Dental Intel, the ultimate dream team for dentists who want profit, peace of mind, and predictable revenue.
🎸 The Rockstar Strategy: Fee-for-Service + Membership
Here’s the formula, straight and simple:
Insurance ≠ Stability.
Membership Plans + Data Clarity = Freedom.
This is the business model that lets you:
-
Sleep better at night
-
Pay your team more
-
Stop arguing with insurance reps named Chad
-
Actually take a vacation and still get paid
And the best part? This isn’t theory. It’s not fluffy consulting-speak. It’s being used RIGHT NOW by real practices who are breaking free from PPO tyranny.

They have loyal patients who say yes to treatment 40% of the time (vs. 24% with cash patients)

Their revenue compounds every month like a SaaS company, not a seasonal lemonade stand
