Tired of Insurance Drama and Price-Shopping Patients? The Dental Savings Plan Revolution Starts Now!

Let’s face it:
Insurance companies have been playing middleman (and buzzkill) for way too long—holding your practice (and profits) hostage, dictating what you can charge, and making patients jump through hoops for even the simplest procedures.

But what if you could ditch the insurance circus, charge your real value, and turn even the most “price-conscious” patients into loyal, raving fans?

Enter: the in-office dental savings plan.
If you’re not using one, your competitors will eat your lunch (and probably your production goals, too).


How Dr. Lopez Turned Her Practice Into a Patient Magnet (and Doubled Her Revenue)

Dr. Lopez, a no-nonsense dentist in Arizona, was fed up with insurance games and slow payments. She needed a way to:

  • Attract the uninsured (and underinsured) in her community

  • Give patients a reason to return—and refer

  • Create predictable, recurring revenue

She launched the “Lopez Smile Club”—an in-office dental savings plan powered by BoomCloud™.

The Results (in just 12 months):

  • MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) soared from $2,300 to $6,800

  • ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) jumped by $54,000

  • Patient loyalty tripled (renewal rate: 82%!)

  • Members spent 2.6x more on elective and cosmetic services

  • Referrals exploded: 1 in 4 new patients came from word-of-mouth

“It’s not insurance. It’s better. Our patients rave about it, and our numbers don’t lie.” – Dr. Lopez


Why Every Practice Needs an In-Office Dental Savings Plan in 2025

Ready for some brutal truth?
If you’re relying on insurance, you’re already losing patients (and money). Here’s why an in-office dental savings plan wins, every time:


Benefits of an In-Office Dental Savings Plan

Predictable Cash Flow with MRR/ARR

  • Know exactly what’s coming in every month. Sleep easier at night!

Double or Quadruple Patient Spend

  • Members are way more likely to accept treatment, upgrade, and refer

Attract & Keep the Uninsured

  • 77 million Americans have no dental insurance—this is their solution!

Easy to Market, Easy to Explain

  • No confusing exclusions, no claims, no waiting periods

Referrals On Steroids

  • Members bring friends and family, especially when you offer referral rewards

BoomCloud™ Automation

  • No sticky spreadsheets or manual renewals—set it, forget it, scale it


Turn One-Time Patients Into Lifetime Fans (and Revenue Machines)

Here’s the magic:
A dental savings plan is NOT a discount gimmick. It’s a loyalty program that rewards both your practice and your patients.

How it works:

  • Simple, flat annual fee (or monthly—recurring is king!)

  • Covers essentials (cleanings, exams, X-rays)

  • Exclusive discounts on other services (whitening, implants, ortho, etc.)

  • Members pay you directly—no insurance delays, no claims

  • Patients renew year after year (and spend more every visit)

Pro Tip:
Bundle your best sellers and add exclusive perks (priority scheduling, free whitening trays, VIP events) to make your plan irresistible.


CASE STUDY: Dr. Lopez’s Smile Club + BoomCloud™ = Revenue Explosion

Before:

  • Members: 58

  • MRR: $2,300

  • ARR: $27,600

  • Avg. patient spend: $850/year

After 12 Months:

  • Members: 167

  • MRR: $6,800

  • ARR: $81,600

  • Avg. patient spend: $2,210/year

  • Membership renewal rate: 82%

  • Referral rate: 25% of all new patients

Dr. Lopez’s “aha!” moment:

“The savings plan brought us a steady stream of patients, but the real magic was the recurring revenue. I’m not stressed every month anymore.”


MRR, ARR & Revenue Per Patient: Why the Math Matters

Let’s nerd out for a sec:

  • MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue):
    The more members, the higher your baseline cash flow

  • ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue):
    Grow year over year and outpace your local competition

  • Revenue Per Patient:
    Membership = more accepted treatment, more referrals, more loyalty

Data Zone:

  • Practices with savings plans see 2–4x patient spend (ADA, 2024)

  • 73% of uninsured adults would join a dental savings plan if offered

  • BoomCloud™ users see average 85% membership renewal rates
