Why Dental Practices Are Bleeding Profits—And Don’t Even Know It
Dental membership direct. Let’s face it: PPOs are like leeches.
They bleed your practice dry with shrinking reimbursements, ridiculous restrictions, and mountains of paperwork.
Meanwhile, your patients delay treatment (or ghost you altogether) because insurance doesn’t cover what they actually need. ♂️
You know what would fix that?
A dental membership direct program.
But not just any program… one that locks in loyalty, pumps up monthly recurring revenue (MRR), and helps your patients finally say “yes” to the treatment they need.
Let’s dive into a story that’ll blow your mind—and your revenue goals—out of the water. ♂️
Story: How Dr. Rogers Used BoomCloud™ to Build a Practice That Prints Money
Meet Dr. Sarah Rogers.
She runs a family dental practice in Boise. A few years back, she was drowning in PPOs, chasing claims, and praying patients would return for second visits.
Then she discovered BoomCloud™, the dental membership plan software that flips the whole game.
With BoomCloud™, she:
-
Created a custom dental membership direct plan in under 30 minutes.
-
Started offering it during hygiene visits, treatment presentations, even phone calls.
-
Stopped accepting the worst PPO plans (you know who you are, Delta ).
-
Added $26,000/month in MRR within 6 months—like clockwork.
Let that sink in. ⏳
That’s $312,000/year in ARR (annual recurring revenue) just from patients paying monthly to belong to her practice for dental membership direct.
It’s Not About More Patients—It’s About More From Every Patient
Look, marketing is great. Google ads, SEO, TikTok dances (hey, whatever works ).
But scaling a practice doesn’t mean cramming more butts in the chair.
The truth is…
Membership patients spend 2X to 4X more than insurance patients.
They come in more often.
They say “yes” more.
They trust you—because they chose you.
It’s not just a program—it’s a relationship.
And BoomCloud™ makes that relationship scalable.

Expert Insight: Optimizing Revenue Per Patient is the Growth Multiplier
Here’s the game-changing insight:
Revenue per patient > Total new patients.
Most practices chase new patients like it’s a carnival game.
But the top practices?
They focus on increasing revenue per existing patient.
Membership plans?
Yeah—they’re rocket fuel for that.
Strategic Growth: The Hidden ROI of Dental Membership Direct
Let’s do the math…
Say you sign up 300 patients on a $35/mo plan:
-
MRR = $10,500
-
ARR = $126,000
-
If each spends 2X = $2000/yr in treatment
-
That’s $600,000 in treatment revenue — on top of the membership fees!
And all of this without a single insurance claim filed.
