Dental Costs Are Killing Your Practice: Here’s How to Fix That
Dental costs are sky-high. Your patients feel it, and so do you. Whether they have insurance or not, out-of-pocket expenses are the #1 reason people delay or cancel appointments. That means fewer patients walking through your doors and more revenue lost every month.
If you’re wondering how to increase your dental practice, the solution isn’t just more advertising. It’s time to flip the script.
Why Most Patients Can’t Afford You; Even If They Like You
You offer great care, modern equipment, and a compassionate team. So why aren’t more patients coming back or referring others?
Here’s the brutal truth:
-
Dental insurance is confusing, limited, and doesn’t cover enough.
-
Without insurance, patients are afraid of surprise bills.
-
Even with insurance, many procedures still cost too much upfront.
Your potential patients are scared; not of you, but of the bill.
✅ The Membership Plan Revolution: Simple, Transparent, Profitable
Imagine this:
-
No insurance hassles.
-
No claim denials.
-
No third-party delays.
Just you and your patient, directly working together via a dental membership plan.
Dental membership plans are in-house solutions that give patients access to routine care and discounts on other treatments, for a simple, affordable monthly fee.
Think: Netflix, but for dental care.
With The Patient Marketplace, you can easily offer these plans and reach patients actively looking for affordable care without insurance.
Real Story, Real Impact: How One Membership Saved a Family $1,400+
Meet Rachel, a 38-year-old single mom from Austin.
She hadn’t seen a dentist in 3 years. No insurance. A cracked molar. After getting a $2,100 quote elsewhere, she gave up… until she found a dentist on ThePatientMarketplace.com offering a $25/mo membership plan.
The result?
-
Her cleanings were covered.
-
She got 40% off her crown.
-
Total cost: $700.
Her smile came back. So did her trust in dentistry.
Your practice can be that solution for hundreds more like Rachel.
Still Unsure? Here’s What the Numbers Say
According to the ADA:
-
34% of adults skip the dentist due to cost.
-
Dental membership plans can increase patient retention by 70%.
-
Practices offering in-house plans report 2x higher treatment acceptance.
If you’re not offering a plan, you’re already behind.
Don’t Let Corporate Clinics Outrun You
DSOs (corporate dental chains) are moving fast on this. They’re offering memberships with slick marketing, easy signups, and aggressive pricing.
But guess what?
You have the trust.
You have the quality.
You just need the system.
