Free Dental Office Software Will Keep You Poor (Unless You Do This One Thing…)

“I Just Need Something Free to Run My Dental Office…” free dental office software!

Listen, doc — I know exactly what you’re thinking.

“I don’t need anything fancy, just some free dental office software to get started.”

Totally valid.

If you’re a startup or small practice, the idea of coughing up hundreds of dollars per month on software subscriptions can feel like trying to floss with barbed wire.

But here’s the million-dollar truth:

“Free” software helps you run your practice. But it will never help you grow it.

And while you’re saving $199/mo on clunky tools that do “just enough,” you’re missing out on $10K–$50K/month in membership revenue by not leveraging BoomCloud™.

Let’s take a trip into the Epiphany Bridge.


‍⚕️ STORY: How Dr. Kelly Went from “Barely Breaking Even” to Recurring Revenue Queen

Dr. Kelly had been practicing for 3 years in Salt Lake City.

  • She ran her entire office using free dental office software she found on Reddit.

  • Scheduling? ✅

  • Patient notes? ✅

  • Treatment plans? Meh.

  • Insurance headaches? Absolutely.

Every month, she would cross her fingers hoping PPO checks would land before rent was due.

Sound familiar?

Then she discovered a wild idea in a dental Facebook group…

“Membership plans are the way out of the insurance prison.”

She clicked.
She found BoomCloud™.
And she started her practice’s journey from hustle → freedom.


You Don’t Need More Patients. You Need More Revenue Per Patient

Let’s be real: Most dentists are caught up in the rat race of:

  • Trying to “attract” more new patients

  • Competing on price (ugh)

  • Playing the PPO game

  • And scraping by with transactional treatment

But what if every patient paid you monthly, like a Netflix subscription?
What if you owned your revenue stream — instead of renting it from insurance companies?

BoomCloud™ helps you do exactly that.

Here’s What Dr. Kelly Built:

$34/mo Smile Plan
$49/mo Perio Maintenance Plan
‍‍‍ $99/mo Family Membership Bundle

All billed automatically.
All tracked inside BoomCloud™ with MRR & ARR dashboards.
And promoted via QR codes, email, and her website.

In just 8 months:

  • She hit $12,800 in Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)

  • That’s $153,600 in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)

  • PPOs? Gone.

  • ✅ Treatment acceptance? Up 62%

  • Retention rate? 90%+

  • ‍♀️ And her front desk? Actually smiling.


FACTS: Membership Patients Spend 2X–4X More. Period.

Let’s nerd out with some cold, hard stats.

Metric Non-Member BoomCloud™ Member
Annual Visits 1.2 2.8
Avg. Spend Per Year $900 $2,100+
Retention Rate 60% 90%
Recare Compliance Low High
Referral Rate Meh Explosive

Why? Because people value what they pay for — and keep paying for.

When they’re on a monthly plan, they’re committed.

“Subscription = retention = predictable cashflow = scalable practice.”

BoomCloud™ lets you go from chasing insurance to collecting subscriptions.
