Your Practice Management Software Shows You Numbers—But Are They the Right Ones?
Number of new patients? Meh.
Monthly production? Cute, but not the full picture.
Social media followers? Unless they’re swiping their card, who cares?
Reality check: Most dentists are tracking vanity metrics instead of money metrics.
If you don’t have a Dental KPI Dashboard that tracks real growth indicators like:
✅ MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue)
✅ ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue)
✅ Revenue per patient
✅ Membership retention & case acceptance rates
…then you’re flying blind and wondering why your cash flow looks like a rollercoaster.
And if you want to stop guessing and start scaling, this is the dashboard breakdown you’ve been waiting for.
How One Dentist Turned Data Into a Revenue Machine
Meet Dr. Jason Murphy.
He was:
❌ Overwhelmed by reports that didn’t tell him anything useful
❌ Stuck in PPO hell with low margins and unpaid claims
❌ Tired of “guesstimating” how well his practice was really doing
Then he discovered the secret sauce:
A dental KPI dashboard powered by BoomCloud™ that showed him:
✔️ How much he was actually making each month from memberships
✔️ Which patients were most profitable
✔️ How his recurring revenue was growing
Fast forward 12 months:
$36,000 MRR
$432,000 ARR
Revenue per membership patient = 4.3X that of PPO patients
Data didn’t just give him clarity—it gave him CONTROL.
The Dental KPI Dashboard Every Office Should Be Using
1. MRR – Monthly Recurring Revenue
Why It Matters: If your MRR is growing, your business is scaling—even if you’re not seeing more patients.
MRR Formula:
Number of active members × Monthly plan fee = MRR
✅ 500 members × $40/month = $20,000 MRR
Why It Works:
✔️ Recurring revenue = cash flow stability
✔️ MRR is like a subscription—it stacks monthly
✔️ It’s NOT dependent on insurance claims or production spikes
BoomCloud™ lets you track MRR in real-time—per location, per plan. Start here
2. ARR – Annual Recurring Revenue
Why It Matters: ARR is the annual projection of your membership program’s revenue.
ARR Formula:
MRR × 12 = ARR
✅ $20,000 MRR × 12 = $240,000 ARR
Why It Works:
✔️ You can forecast growth
✔️ You can measure ROI from marketing
✔️ You can pitch this number to investors if you’re growing a group
Want to hit 6-figures or more in ARR? BoomCloud™ shows you how
3. Revenue Per Patient
Why It Matters: Not all patients are created equal.
Formula:
Total Revenue ÷ Total Active Patients = Revenue per Patient
✅ $1,000,000 ÷ 2,000 patients = $500/patient
BoomCloud™ users report:
✔️ Membership patients spend 3X–5X more than PPO patients
✔️ Lower churn, higher treatment acceptance
✔️ More referrals + better reviews
Want to increase revenue per patient WITHOUT seeing more patients? BoomCloud™ is your answer
4. Membership Retention Rate
Why It Matters: You don’t want “one-and-done” members—you want LIFERS.
Formula:
(End of period active members ÷ beginning of period active members) × 100
✅ Target = 85% or higher retention
Why It Works:
✔️ Higher retention = compounding MRR
✔️ Better lifetime value = better return on acquisition costs
✔️ It’s easier to keep a patient than find a new one
BoomCloud™ tracks this automatically.
5. New Membership Sign-Ups & Churn Rate
You can’t grow what you don’t track.
Churn Formula:
(Members lost ÷ Members at start) × 100
New Signups = Obvious metric, but essential for growth tracking.
Why This Works:
✔️ Helps your team stay accountable
✔️ Enables forecasting and planning
✔️ Keeps your front desk motivated
Want to build a scalable system that tracks all of this? BoomCloud™ has your back

Dr. Murphy had the same problem as 90% of dentists:
❌ Too much software, not enough insights

❌ Confusion about what actually made money

✅ Built a killer membership program
✅ Started tracking MRR, ARR, revenue per patient
