The Wild World of Dental Coding
You thought dental coding was boring?
Think again, my friend.
Dental coding is like the secret language of money for your practice.
Handled right, dental codes unlock predictable, scalable, unstoppable revenue.
Handled wrong? They leave you chasing insurance payments like a cat chasing a laser pointer.
And when you pair smart coding with a membership program?
You detonate a profit bomb in your practice (the good kind).
Story: Dental Coding Basics You MUST Know
What is Dental Coding?
Simple: it’s the standardized way we describe what services were provided—so patients and insurance companies know what happened (and hopefully, what to pay for).
Some examples:
-
D0120: Periodic Oral Evaluation
-
D1110: Adult Prophylaxis (Cleaning)
-
D2391: Resin-Based Composite – One Surface, Posterior
-
D6010: Surgical Placement of Implant Body
But here’s the thing…
Insurance is NOT your business partner.
They’re a professional ghoster.
That’s why membership programs are your secret weapon. ️
Why Memberships Supercharge Dental Coding Power
What is a Dental Membership Plan?

The Secret Weapon: MRR and ARR in Dentistry
MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue):
Cash landing in your account automatically, like clockwork. You wake up richer every month.
ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue):
Zoom out, and you’ve locked down 6–7 figures a year before doing a single implant or filling.
Most BoomCloud™ practices see:
-
$10K–$25K MRR within 6–12 months
-
ARR between $120K–$300K
No more praying insurance sends the check.
