How to Bring in New Dental Clients (And Turn Them Into Loyal Members)
Let’s be honest.
When dentists ask how to bring in new dental clients, what they usually mean is:
-
“My new patient numbers are inconsistent.”
-
“Marketing feels expensive.”
-
“We’re busy… but not profitable.”
-
“Insurance write-offs are killing us.”
And the typical advice?
-
Run Google Ads.
-
Discount exams.
-
Offer free whitening.
That’s not a strategy.
That’s noise.
If you want sustainable growth, you don’t just need more clients.
You need:
-
🎯 The right clients
-
💳 Predictable revenue (MRR)
-
🔁 High retention
-
💰 Higher revenue per patient
Let’s build this the smart way.
🚀 Step 1: Own Local Search (Be Found First)
If you want to bring in new dental clients, you must dominate local visibility.
Patients search:
-
“Dentist near me”
-
“Best dentist in [city]”
-
“Emergency dentist near me”
-
“Affordable dentist without insurance”
To win:
-
Optimize your Google Business Profile
-
Collect 100+ 5-star reviews
-
Post weekly updates
-
Add photos + FAQs
-
Use service keywords on your website
According to BrightLocal, 87% of consumers read online reviews before choosing a local business.
Visibility builds trust.
Trust converts clicks into appointments.
But here’s the shift…
Don’t just promote insurance acceptance.
Promote your membership plan.
💳 Step 2: Launch a Membership Plan (The Client Magnet)
If someone doesn’t have insurance, they hesitate.
If they do have insurance, they compare.
A membership plan changes the game.
Practices using BoomCloud™ report:
-
2X–4X higher patient lifetime value
-
Increased case acceptance
-
Higher retention
-
Stable Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)
Example:
400 members
$39/month
= $15,600/month MRR
= $187,200/year ARR
That’s predictable revenue before a single filling is scheduled.
Insurance companies run on subscriptions.

🎯 Step 3: Optimize Your New Patient Conversion System
Getting calls isn’t enough.
You must convert them.
Ask yourself:
-
Are calls answered live?
-
Does your team use scripts?
-
Is membership offered immediately?
-
Do you explain value confidently?
Script example:
“If you don’t have insurance, many of our patients join our in-house savings plan. It usually saves them more than traditional insurance.”
Confidence converts.
Hesitation loses.
🔥 Step 4: Increase Revenue Per Patient (The Real Growth Lever)
Here’s a mindset shift.
If your average patient spends $800/year…
And you increase that to $1,600/year…
You doubled revenue without doubling marketing.
According to Bain & Company, increasing retention by 5% can increase profits 25–95%.
Retention is growth.
Membership patients:
-
Visit consistently
-
Accept treatment more often
-
Refer friends
-
Stay longer
New dental clients are valuable.
Loyal members are transformational.
📈 Step 5: Build Authority Content (Become the Obvious Choice)
Patients choose the dentist they trust.
Create content that answers:
-
“How much does a crown cost?”
-
“Do I need a root canal?”
-
“What happens if I skip cleanings?”
-
“Is a dental savings plan worth it?”
Google rewards helpful, experience-based content.
When patients feel educated, they commit.

🧠 The “AHA” Moment
Most practices try to bring in new dental clients by shouting louder.
Ads.

Attract → Convert → Retain → Multiply Value
Membership programs amplify every stage.

-
Attract uninsured patients
-
Convert hesitant shoppers
-
Retain patients longer
-
Increase lifetime value
That’s leverage.
