In dentistry today, PPOs are not your friend, they hurt your cash flow, demolish your profit margins, jeopardize your patient relationships & use A.I. to deny claims!!

If I had an employee or partner that messed up my business like that, I would FIRE them ASAP! 

$47. No fluff. Just results.

You in?

Dentists! 

If the D5110 code has ever made you roll your eyes so hard you saw your brain — trust me, you’re not alone.

Quick flashback:
D5110 = Complete Denture — Maxillary.
A beautiful full upper denture that makes grandma smile again… while insurance laughs and lowballs your hard work.

You spend multiple appointments:

  • Impressions, wax try-ins, adjustments.

  • Endless tweaks until that denture is perfect.

  • Then you get a check that barely covers your lab bill.

Patients? They flinch at the upfront cost and “need to think about it.”

Let’s fix this.
What if you could flip D5110 from a profit leak into a patient loyalty powerhouse — and lock in recurring revenue beforeyou even seat that denture?

You’re gonna love this.


Meet Dr. Lora from Kansas City.:

She’s the queen of giving new teeth and new confidence to seniors — but D5110 made her want to scream into a pillow:

  • Insurance paid her less than her lab fee for premium dentures.

  • ⏳ Patients “needed to check with Medicare” — and never came back.

  • Cash flow was a nightmare because big-ticket work = big delays.

One night she read a Russell Brunson Epiphany Bridge story (and maybe my rants on BoomCloud™). She had her lightbulb moment:

“What if I package D5110 in a membership plan so patients budget dentures in predictable payments, AND I get paid before the chair time?”

She built her New Smile Club:
✅ Covers exams, cleanings, and denture adjustments.
✅ Gives members a big discount on premium dentures (D5110).
✅ Uses BoomCloud™ to auto-bill.

Fast forward:
✅ 400 loyal members.
✅ $13,200 Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR).
✅ $158,400 Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR).
✅ Fewer cancellations, patients committed before starting.

Now Dr. Lora calls D5110 her “Denture Gold Mine.”


You can do this too:

Take D5110 — the classic denture code.
Wrap it in a smart membership plan.
Automate the payments with BoomCloud™.
Sleep well knowing big cases don’t tank your cash flow.


Dan Kennedy would say: Sell the plan, not the procedure.

Patients hate surprises.
They hate dropping $1,500–$2,500 all at once for a denture.
They hate insurance “maybes.”

BUT…
They love simple monthly payments:
✅ “I get my new teeth AND my cleanings for just $40/month?”
✅ “No surprise bills for adjustments?”
✅ “Sign me up!”

When you bundle D5110 with perks, patients say yes faster than you can say “wax try-in.”


The Real Stats You Need:

Patients in a membership plan spend 2–4X more than uninsured patients.

BoomCloud™ practices hit $10k–$20k in MRR in under 18 months.

Insurance AR drops 50% or more.

80% of membership patients renew yearly.

In short: D5110 inside a membership plan = profit AND patient loyalty.


Dr. Lora’s D5110 Turnaround:

Before BoomCloud™:
❌ $500 write-offs per denture.
❌ 40% patient drop-off for big cases.
❌ Stress when rent came due.

After BoomCloud™:
✅ D5110 discounted in her Smile Club — patients budget over time.
✅ 95% treatment plan acceptance for dentures.
✅ $13,200 MRR covers staff salaries BEFORE she seats a denture.

She now has a waitlist — and a beach vacation booked.

How to Sell It Without Sounding Salesy:

FAQs

What is D5110?
It’s the ADA code for a complete maxillary (upper) denture. Lots of chair time, adjustments, and lab costs — so profit margins are tight without smart pricing.

Why include D5110 in a membership plan?
Because it locks in revenue upfront, patients budget better, and loyalty goes through the roof.

Does BoomCloud™ automate all this?
Yes! Billing, compliance, renewals, and even marketing tools — all handled.

Will patients pay monthly?
Absolutely! Memberships are the new normal: Netflix, Amazon Prime, Spotify — why not dental care?

Is it legal?
100% legal nationwide. BoomCloud™ keeps you compliant.


Pro Tips for D5110 Domination:

✅ Pitch your plan at every big case consult.
✅ Add it to your website.
✅ Promote it on your social media pages.
✅ Train your team to say it with confidence.
✅ Celebrate every $1,000 MRR milestone — because it’s real, predictable income!


Final Takeaway:

The D5110 shouldn’t be a profit leak. It should be your Denture ATM.

Bundle it inside a smart membership plan.
Use BoomCloud™ to automate everything.
Watch loyal patients, stress-free billing, and recurring revenue roll in every month.

You didn’t go to dental school to beg insurance for scraps.
Take back control — one denture at a time.
