Let’s be honest — most dental practice software is about as exciting as reading a CDT code manual. It’s clunky. Overpriced. And built more for your accountant than for growing your business.

But what if your software did more than just manage patients?

What if it actually helped you:

✅ Get paid every month (before you pick up a scaler)
✅ Boost patient loyalty without relying on insurance
✅ Scale a business, not just a practice

Say hello to BoomCloud™ — the king of dental membership software. And spoiler alert: it’s not just a “nice-to-have.” It’s the new foundation of dental business success.


Why Most Dental Software Keeps You Broke and Busy

You’ve got systems for scheduling, charting, billing, imaging, and texting patients when their dog dies (seriously, some do that now).

But here’s the truth:

Most practice management software tracks what’s happening
BoomCloud™ helps you change what’s happening.

It’s not just about managing tasks. It’s about building Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) and Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) — metrics that SaaS companies, private equity, and smart dental CEOs live by.

Because dental practice software should do more than organize your chaos. It should make you money.


How BoomCloud™ Is Flipping the Script on Traditional Dental Software

Here’s why BoomCloud™ isn’t just another dashboard with pretty graphs:

  • Automates membership billing and renewals

  • Tracks revenue metrics like MRR, ARR, churn rate, and revenue per patient

  • Converts uninsured patients into long-term loyal members

  • Integrates with your existing systems like Dentrix, Open Dental, and Eaglesoft

  • Gives you marketing tools to grow your plan from Day 1

In short, it’s the only dental software focused on increasing profit, not just tracking procedures.


Case Study: How 7 to 7 Dental Built a $1.88M ARR Machine with BoomCloud™

Don’t take our word for it — take 7 to 7 Dental’s.

With BoomCloud™, they scaled their in-house membership plan to:

  • Over 3,000 active members

  • $156,780 in Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)

  • $1.88 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)

  • ✌️ Cut major PPOs and regained control of pricing and profitability

Patients loved it. The team loved it. And the spreadsheet… well, that thing was glowing green.

Why Membership Patients = Better Patients

Here’s what dental analytics from BoomCloud™ users consistently show:

Metric Membership Patients Insurance Patients
Show-up Rate 91% 67%
Treatment Acceptance +35% Standard
Revenue Per Patient 2–4X higher Lower
Retention Rate 80–90% 50–60%

BoomCloud™ doesn’t just track this.
It makes it possible.

And once you start measuring RPP (Revenue Per Patient) and LTV (Lifetime Value) — you stop chasing new patients and start optimizing the ones you’ve got.
