STORY: “I Thought Charting Was Just Paperwork…”
Dr. Ellie ran a cozy dental practice in Salt Lake City. She had two chairs, three hygienists, and a reliable patient base… but she was barely breaking even.
She dreaded the phrase: “I’ll think about it…” when presenting treatment plans.
Then she discovered two game-changing truths:
-
Most practices underutilize dental charting.
-
Charting + memberships = cash flow machine
Today, Ellie’s practice generates $28,000/month in MRR (monthly recurring revenue), all thanks to charting better, tracking smarter, and using BoomCloud™ to scale her in-house membership plan.
Wait, What IS Dental Charting?
At its core, dental charting is the documentation of a patient’s dental health condition. It includes:
-
Existing restorations
-
Caries and periodontal issues
-
Missing teeth or anomalies
-
Pocket depths
-
Bleeding points
-
Occlusion status
️ Charting allows clinicians to track oral health over time. But it’s more than that—it’s a sales tool.
“Dentists don’t sell treatments. They sell confidence in a better future.” – Jordon Comstock
When you use visual, accurate dental charts to explain why treatment is needed, patients say “yes” faster.
Charting = A Goldmine Hiding in Plain Sight
Charting isn’t just about documentation—it’s an on-ramp to recurring revenue.
When patients see their dental issues on screen (bleeding gums, bone loss, etc.), and then you offer a simple, affordable membership plan that makes treatment easier to accept?
You go from “I’ll wait” to “Where do I sign?”
Stat Drop:
Membership patients spend 2X to 4X more on treatment than uninsured patients.
Recurring revenue businesses are valued at 8X-10X more than transactional ones.
Practices using BoomCloud™ see average MRR increases of $15K/month within a year.
