Marketing for Dentistry Is Broken. Here’s the Irreverent, Profitable Fix
Okay, doc… Let’s cut the floss.
You’ve got a slick website, a dusty blog, and you’re bleeding $3K a month into Google Ads praying the “new patient gods” bless your calendar.
But here’s the hard truth: Most marketing for dentistry is just expensive noise—not growth.
You don’t need more leads.
You need more loyalty. More revenue per patient. And more referrals from people already sitting in your chair.
Let me show you the BoomCloud™-backed strategy that’s flipping the marketing script for modern dental practices.
STORY: “I Was Busy, But Broke…”
Meet Dr. Jordan.
Not me. Different Jordan.
This doc was booked out two weeks in advance. Clean ops. Rock-solid team. Top 10% of his area.
But his bank account looked like a dental student’s—thin AF.
He was:
-
Drowning in PPO write-offs
-
At the mercy of flaky patients
-
Burning marketing dollars on click farms
“I didn’t need more new patients. I needed the right ones… coming back, spending more, referring others.”
Enter BoomCloud™ and a mindset shift from chasing patients to retaining and monetizing them better.
Great Dentistry Doesn’t Sell Itself. Recurring Revenue Does.
Here’s the reality of modern marketing for dentistry:
If you’re not building MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) and maximizing ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue), you’re playing in the wrong league.
And guess what? Your average patient is worth 2X to 4X more when they’re part of your membership plan.
Dr. Jordan launched a BoomCloud™ plan with:
-
$35/month pricing
-
2 cleanings/year + exams + discounts
-
Optional family & business bundles
12 months later…
-
812 active members
-
$28,420/month in MRR
-
$341,040/year in ARR
-
4.2X more revenue per member than non-members
-
️ Referral rates up 67%
That’s what real marketing does—it compounds your income AND your impact.
