Stop Running a Dental Practice Like It’s 1995

Let’s get something straight, doc. If your idea of how to run a dental practice still includes chasing insurance reimbursements, mailing paper statements, and hoping patients “come back when they’re ready,” it’s time for a system upgrade ⚙️

Because here’s the deal — dentistry today isn’t just about great crowns and beautiful smiles. It’s about:

  • Creating predictable cash flow

  • Building a loyal patient tribe

  • Running lean, mean, automated machines

So if you’re tired of working harder for less, let’s flip the script and show you how to run a dental practice like a 7-figure business — using the Hook, Story, Offer & Epiphany Bridge strategy that would make Russell Brunson and Dan Kennedy proud.

Buckle up. We’re about to BoomCloud™ your bottom line


Story: The Practice That Went from Overwhelmed to Overbooked

Dr. Tara from Salt Lake City was drowning in write-offs, no-shows, and burnout. Sound familiar?

She had:

  • Great location

  • Talented team

  • High-quality care

But she was still living in that monthly scramble to cover overhead, pay staff, and squeeze in just one more case.

Then she discovered the holy grail: membership plans + BoomCloud™.

She launched a custom dental membership program with:

  • $29/month for preventive care

  • 20% off other services

  • $0 insurance drama

And she plugged it into BoomCloud™ to manage EVERYTHING.

Six months later?

  • $14,200/month in MRR

  • 470 active members

  • 3.5X revenue per member

  • Zero dependence on PPOs


Want to Know How to Run a Dental Practice Profitably?

The secret isn’t just more new patients. It’s more revenue per patient — and keeping them for the long haul.

BoomCloud™ is your practice’s secret weapon to:

  • Launch & manage membership plans

  • Create automated billing, renewals & marketing

  • Track MRR, ARR & patient behavior analytics

  • Free yourself from the insurance hamster wheel

“I Don’t Need More Patients… I Need the Right Ones”

Dr. Tara’s breakthrough moment came when she realized she wasn’t running a practice — she was babysitting a broken model.

She said, “I finally saw it — patients on memberships don’t cancel appointments. They say yes to treatment. They tell their friends. They VALUE the relationship.”

And that is how to run a dental practice in 2025: build a tribe, not a revolving door.


How to Run a Dental Practice Like a Pro (Without Going Crazy)

Ready to reinvent your practice? Here’s your no-BS, no-fluff, money-making playbook:


Build & Launch a Membership Plan

Your recurring revenue engine. Here’s what it does:

  • Eliminates insurance dependence

  • Creates predictable cash flow

  • Increases loyalty by 2–4X

BoomCloud™ helps you build custom plans, automate renewals, and track your metrics like a boss.


Track MRR & ARR Like a SaaS Startup

If you’re not tracking recurring revenue, you’re leaving money on the table.

Let’s say:

  • 300 members x $30/month = $9,000/month

  • = $108,000/year in ARR

Now add hygiene, fillings, and crowns on top of that = Cha-ching


Train Your Team Like You Mean It

Running a dental practice well = consistent systems + empowered staff.

Train them on:

  • Membership plan scripting

  • Overcoming objections

  • Using BoomCloud™ tools to track renewals, payments, and patient analytics


Promote Like a Rockstar

Don’t just wait for patients. Go get them.

Marketing moves:

  • Run Facebook Ads to a BoomCloud™ membership landing page

  • Offer “New Patient Membership Trials” for first-timers

  • Email your inactive list with a reactivation promo


Automate Appointments, Billing & Retention

Use BoomCloud™ to:

  • Text patients reminders

  • Auto-renew their memberships

  • Send custom emails when payments fail or plans expire

That’s how to run a dental practice while sipping espresso instead of chasing AR.


Know Your Revenue Per Patient

Membership patients spend 2X to 4X more because:

  • They’re loyal

  • They don’t price-shop

  • They get proactive care, not emergency fixes

Want real growth? Maximize RPP (revenue per patient), not just patient count.


Cut the PPO Fat

Every write-off you take is a hole in your profit bucket.

Memberships replace low-paying PPOs with direct-pay, loyal patients. Dr. Tara cut 3 low-margin plans and filled the gap with just 150 members.


Create a Monthly Revenue Dashboard

With BoomCloud™, you’ll see:

  • Active members

  • MRR / ARR trends

  • Average revenue per member

  • Missed payments & renewals

It’s like having a CFO in your pocket.


Turn Members into Ambassadors

Members LOVE talking about their membership. Give them a reason.

Referral ideas:

  • “Refer 2, Get 1 Month Free”

  • “Share your smile story on social, win a free whitening kit”

  • Add a referral tracker in BoomCloud™


Keep It Simple, Scalable, & Systemized

Your ops = your growth.

Automate the stuff that burns your team out:

  • Recalls

  • Billing

  • Contracts

  • Renewals

BoomCloud™ doesn’t just make it easier. It makes it profitable.
