If Your Marketing Plan Includes Free Toothbrushes and “National Floss Day” Posts—We Need to Talk

Let’s cut the fluff & discuss marketing ideas for dental offices

You don’t need another flyer with a smiling stock photo.
You don’t need to run another tired $99 cleaning offer.
And you definitely don’t need another “Happy Tooth Fairy Day!” Facebook post that gets 3 likes—two from your staff.

Reality check: The best marketing ideas for dental offices are the ones that produce real results—new patients, higher treatment acceptance, increased revenue, and better retention.

Over 50% of Americans don’t have dental insurance.
Membership patients spend 2X–4X more than PPO patients.
BoomCloud™ helps practices build $100K–$1M/year in recurring membership revenue.

So yeah—let’s build a plan that scales.


How One Dentist Fired PPOs, Built a Membership Plan, and Tripled Revenue

Meet Dr. Samantha Lee.

She was:
❌ Tired of fighting PPOs for pennies.
❌ Running “meh” marketing with no ROI.
❌ Losing sleep over slow months and inconsistent cash flow.

Then she did what 99% of dentists are afraid to do:
Launched a membership plan.
Promoted it with smart, simple marketing campaigns.
Tracked her MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) and ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) like a boss.

12 months later:
$44,000/month in MRR
$528,000 ARR
2,200 happy, loyal members

And she did it with BoomCloud™.


The Best Marketing Ideas for Dental Offices (That Don’t Involve Coupons or Balloons)


1. Start an In-House Membership Dental Plan (Your Profit Weapon)

RULE #1: If your practice doesn’t have a membership plan, you’re leaving money on the table.

What Makes a Winning Membership Plan?
✅ $25–$50/month fee
✅ Covers cleanings, exams, X-rays
✅ 15–30% off additional treatments
✅ Cosmetic perks: Whitening, Invisalign discounts
✅ Family & senior tiers for added value

Why This Works:
✔️ Membership patients are 2X–4X more loyal
✔️ They spend more per visit
✔️ No insurance, no write-offs, no waiting periods

BoomCloud™ is the #1 tool to build, manage, and scale in-house membership plans. Check it out here


2. Run a Local Facebook Ad Funnel With a Real Offer

How to Build a Facebook Funnel That Converts:

Step 1: Run a geo-targeted Facebook ad
Step 2: Use an irresistible offer:
“No Insurance? Get Cleanings, Exams & 30% Off Treatment – Only $35/Month!”
Step 3: Lead form → Thank You Page → Upsell membership → Book appointment

Why This Works:
✔️ You’re targeting uninsured patients (aka the 50%+ of Americans missing care)
✔️ You build your email list AND your revenue
✔️ You can track everything from click to cash

Use BoomCloud™ + ClickFunnels to build this in an hour.


3. Create an “Ultimate Smile Club” for Cosmetic Patients

Smart strategy: Cosmetic patients don’t care about insurance—they care about VALUE.

Create a Premium Membership Plan:
✅ Includes cleanings, whitening, 20–30% off cosmetic procedures
✅ Market it as a luxury experience
✅ Offer monthly financing for bigger cases inside the plan

Why This Works:
✔️ You turn low-hanging cosmetic consults into lifelong VIP patients
✔️ You increase revenue per patient
✔️ Your practice becomes the go-to for smile makeovers

BoomCloud™ tracks MRR, ARR, and lets you create plan tiers.


4. Use Email + SMS Campaigns to Retarget Old & Inactive Patients

Low-cost, high-return strategy:

✅ “We Miss You!” Campaign
✅ Add a special offer: “Come back & get 1 month FREE when you join our membership”
✅ Send via email, SMS, and Facebook retargeting

Why This Works:
✔️ Reactivates high-lifetime-value patients
✔️ Gives them a reason to return
✔️ Creates new recurring revenue from old records

Track reactivations and conversions through BoomCloud™ dashboards.


5. Launch a Referral Program—Tied to Your Membership

Turn referrals into recurring income:
✅ “Refer a friend—get $50 credit or 1 FREE month of membership”
✅ Reward BOTH the referrer and the new patient
✅ Plug into social, email, SMS, and even postcards

Why This Works:
✔️ Patients become brand ambassadors
✔️ Easier than converting cold leads
✔️ You grow MRR from every new sign-up

BoomCloud™ lets you tag referral sources & track revenue per referrer. Click here


Track the Numbers That Matter (Your New Power Metrics)

MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue)

Formula: Members x Monthly Fee
Example: 500 members x $35 = $17,500/month

ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue)

Formula: MRR x 12
Example: $17,500 x 12 = $210,000/year

Revenue Per Patient

Formula: Total Revenue / Number of Active Patients
✅ BoomCloud™ users report 2X–4X higher revenue per patient when on a membership plan.

These metrics are tracked in real time with BoomCloud™ so you can make better business decisions.

Dr. Lopez didn’t just want to grow—she wanted FREEDOM.

She wanted to:
✔️ Say goodbye to PPO write-offs
✔️ Build predictable revenue
✔️ Grow her cosmetic and preventive care offerings

What She Did:
Created a 3-tier membership plan using BoomCloud™
Used Facebook Ads to grow signups
Tracked everything—MRR, ARR, revenue per patient

Result?
$85,000/month in MRR
$1M+ in ARR
