How Do Dental Clinics Increase Income (Without Burnout or More PPOs)?

Let’s cut through the floss: If you’re still chasing insurance reimbursements and thinking “I just need more new patients…” — STOP. You’re doing it backwards.
The real growth lever?
Membership plans that create predictable, recurring revenue.
And yes, we’re talking Netflix meets dentistry.
Buckle up.


THE REASON YOUR INCOME’S STUCK (Hint: It’s Not Your Marketing)

You’re working hard, your schedule’s booked, but the profits? Meh.
And you wonder, “How the heck are these other dentists buying boats and sleeping at night?”

Let me tell you:
They don’t rely on PPOs or discount dentistry mills.
They’ve discovered MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) and ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue).

“Membership programs are the new practice growth engine. They’re like having a secret ATM in your breakroom.” – Jordon Comstock, probably while sipping coffee with a smirk ☕


STORY: The $200K Membership Pivot

Let me introduce you to Dr. Lopez.
General dentist. Arizona. Great team. Mediocre margins.
He was drowning in insurance write-offs and considering dropping a plan—but terrified.

Then he found BoomCloud™ and launched a simple in-house membership program.

Here’s what happened in 12 months:

  • Added 612 active members

  • Created $17,800 in MRR (monthly recurring revenue)

  • Locked in $213,600 in ARR (that’s not a typo)

  • Reduced dependence on PPOs by 60%

  • Realized he was actually building his business—not someone else’s

“Now I know exactly how much revenue is hitting my account every month—before I even open my doors.” — Dr. Lopez

That’s the power of memberships.
Not more hustle. Just smarter systems.


Membership Patients Spend 2–4X More… And You’re Ignoring It?

Let’s get nerdy with some stats that slap :

Why Membership Patients Are Your Secret Weapon:

  • They visit more often (they’ve already paid!)

  • They accept treatment faster (no insurance approvals)

  • They stay loyal longer (think Amazon Prime for dental)

  • They spend 2x–4x more per year than uninsured or PPO patients

  • You control the cash flow, not the insurance overlords

And BoomCloud™ makes it ridiculously simple to launch, scale, and automate these plans.


Stop Hoping. Start Subscribing.

Let’s Talk About Revenue Per Patient (The Real Growth Metric)

Growing your practice doesn’t mean more patients.
It means more revenue per patient. Period.

Let’s say you’re seeing 1,000 patients.
What if just 200 of them paid you $35/month on a membership plan?

That’s $7,000/mo in MRR.
$84,000/year.
For services you already provide.

Now stack on:

  • ✅ Hygiene visits

  • ✅ Case acceptance (that actually happens)

  • ✅ Treatment financed via your plan

  • ✅ Referrals from happy members

Boom.
That’s how dental clinics increase income. With leverage. With retention. With recurring cash flow.


Bulletproof Benefits of Memberships ( Bookmark These):

  • No insurance approvals or delays

  • Recurring revenue every month

  • Higher treatment acceptance

  • Patients show up & stay loyal

  • Builds equity in your practice

  • MRR & ARR = real-time financial forecasting

  • HIPAA-compliant, legally solid agreements
