Dentists — confession time

When you hear D5120 dental code, do you think:

  • “Nice, big case fee!”

  • “Oh crap, another insurance nightmare.”

  • “Please don’t ghost me after the consult, Mrs. Wilson…”

Exactly.

Quick recap:
D5120 = Complete Lower Denture.
It’s big, it’s life-changing, and it’s an easy way for insurance to lowball you while patients balk at out-of-pocket fees.

Want to know a dirty secret?
Smart practices don’t just do D5120 cases — they build membership plans around them so patients say YES more, ghost less, and pay you every month like it’s Netflix for their smile.

Let’s break this down — BoomCloud™ style.


Meet Dr. Tony, the denture king of Salt Lake City:

He LOVES giving grandmas and grandpas a fresh new lower smile with D5120 dental work.
But a year ago:

  • His lab bills swallowed half his profit.

  • Insurance “bundled” D5120 with D5110, slashing his fee.

  • Patients ghosted when they saw the full price.

One sleepless night he stumbled onto BoomCloud™ and my Dan Kennedy-inspired rant about cash flow.

“Wait. Why am I letting insurance dictate my D5120 profit when I could sell patients a plan they WANT?”

So he built the Secure Smile Club:
✅ 2 cleanings/year (for remaining teeth)
✅ 2 check-ups
✅ Free denture adjustments
✅ Discounts on full upper AND lower dentures (D5110 + D5120)

A year later:
✅ 500 members locked in
✅ $16,000 Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)
✅ $192,000 in guaranteed Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)
✅ 85% fewer cancelled dentures.

Now Dr. Tony funds his kids’ college before he ever seats a denture.


Want that stress-free life?

Here’s the blueprint:
Take D5120 dental code.
Wrap it in a slick membership plan.
Automate it with BoomCloud™.
Smile while your chair time pays you before you even pick up an impression tray.


Russell Brunson wisdom:

“Sell people what they want, give them what they need.”

They LOVE:
✅ Small predictable payments.
✅ Included perks like cleanings & adjustments.
✅ Big discounts on big stuff — like D5120 dental cases.

A membership plan turns scary lump sums into easy monthly budgeting.
They say yes more. They stick with you longer.
