️ Dental Office Computer Programs Are Failing You (Until You Add THIS System)

Let’s set the record straight.

Yes, you need dental office computer programs.
Yes, you need Eaglesoft, Dentrix, Open Dental, whatever.
Yes, you need something to run the charts, the billing, the appointments…

But no, those systems alone won’t grow your practice.
Because they manage, not multiply.

Want to actually grow your practice?
You need to bolt on something smarter—a revenue-generating machine.

Enter: Membership programs powered by BoomCloud™.

This article’s going to show you how dentists across the country are using dental office computer programs + BoomCloud™ to:

  • Scale Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)

  • Boost Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)

  • Increase treatment acceptance

  • Maximize revenue per patient by 2X–4X

Let’s go, doc.


The Real Problem with Most Dental Software

Let’s talk truth.

Most dental office computer programs are just… glorified filing cabinets.

They:

  • Store data ️

  • Schedule appointments ️

  • Manage claims

  • Track billing

But here’s the deal…

They don’t create recurring revenue.
They don’t help patients say YES to treatment.
They don’t build loyalty.

They’re digital admin tools.

And while that’s helpful, it’s not how you scale a thriving business in today’s economy.

You need a tool that prints predictable revenue every month.

A system that makes your office sticky, scalable, and profitable.


Story: Dr. Jessica’s “Aha!” Moment with BoomCloud™

Dr. Jessica ran a successful 3-operatory practice in Phoenix.
Great staff. Great patients. Great tech.

But…

She felt like her dental office software ran her, not the other way around.

Her front office was tangled in:

  • PPO nightmares

  • Chasing unpaid claims ‍♀️

  • Dwindling loyalty from price-shopping patients

She used Open Dental + an expensive communication software + a billing add-on + a tracking spreadsheet for treatment plans.

Then she found BoomCloud™ and launched a membership program.

The results?


Stats That’ll Melt Your Dental Face Off

In just 10 months, Dr. Jessica’s BoomCloud™ membership stats:

Metric Before BoomCloud™ After BoomCloud™
Members 35 412
MRR $1,520 $26,780
ARR $18,240 $321,360
Avg. Revenue Per Patient $468 $1,097
Case Acceptance 53% 88%
Insurance Dependency 94% 48%

She didn’t replace her dental office computer programs.
She enhanced them with a revenue machine.


⚡️ Software Shouldn’t Just Manage—It Should Monetize

Here’s the epiphany bridge moment:

Your software stack can’t just organize data.
It must help you monetize relationships.

That’s where BoomCloud™ flips the game.

It integrates alongside your current practice software, and instead of being just another tool, it becomes:

  • A loyalty engine

  • A revenue booster

  • A patient retention magnet

BoomCloud™ turns your passive patient database into a monthly cash machine.


What BoomCloud™ Adds to Your Existing Systems

Here’s what your dental office computer programs can’t do on their own:

✅ 1. Membership Plan Builder

Design preventive and treatment plans for monthly or annual subscriptions.

  • Single & family plans

  • Employer-sponsored packages

  • Add custom perks (e.g. whitening, perio maintenance)

2. Recurring Billing + MRR Tracking

  • Automated monthly payments

  • Failed payment recovery workflows

  • Revenue forecasting dashboards

3. Patient Portal + Automated Communication

  • Members manage their account online

  • Automated renewals

  • Email + SMS reminders

  • Birthday messages (because loyalty matters)

4. Analytics for Smart Practice Growth

  • Track MRR, ARR, churn, and plan usage

  • Discover top-performing plans

  • Identify patients ready for upsells

5. HIPAA-Compliant Security

Because duh.

Why Membership Patients Spend 2–4X More

Still not convinced? ‍♂️ Here’s why membership patients are worth more:

Psychology of Ownership

When patients pay monthly, they use the service—just like Netflix.

Clarity = Confidence

No insurance guessing = more “yes” to treatment.

Priority Access

Membership = VIP treatment = more booked appointments.

Less Attrition

Membership creates stickiness. Patients don’t leave what they subscribe to.


Dental Office Computer Programs Need This One Add-On

✅ You need software that manages your practice.
But you also need software that monetizes it.
BoomCloud™ adds MRR, loyalty, and treatment acceptance to your existing stack.
Membership patients spend 2–4X more, stick longer, and stay loyal.

Optimize revenue per patient, not just new patient count.
