Why Most Dentists Using “Ace Dental Software” Are Still Broke (And How to Fix It With This One Revenue Strategy)

Let’s be real. Your software isn’t the problem. It’s what you’re not doing with it.

Ace Dental Software might be your workhorse for charts, scheduling, and insurance claims…

But if it’s not helping you generate predictable revenue or create patient loyalty that actually pays, then congrats — you’re running a digital day planner, not a business.

Let’s change that.


Your EHR Is Not a Business Model

If you’re using Ace Dental Software to run your practice but don’t have a membership plan, you’re basically trying to win a Formula 1 race in a Prius.

Sure, your system is “efficient”… but does it:

  • Generate Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)?

  • Show you your Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)?

  • Double or triple your revenue per patient?

  • Help patients say “yes” to treatment WITHOUT insurance?

Didn’t think so.

The problem isn’t Ace. It’s that you’re missing the real engine behind scalable practices: a well-oiled membership program powered by BoomCloud™.


STORY: Dr. Jenny Went From Claims Chaos to Membership Millions

Meet Dr. Jenny Patel, owner of a 4-op practice in Sacramento. She used Ace Dental Software for years. Her charts were clean. Her team loved it.

But cash flow?

Total nightmare. Every month was like gambling at the dental roulette table.

Some months she hit $120K.
Other months? $38K.
☠️ Insurance aged receivables? $92K+ in limbo.

Then she found BoomCloud™.

She layered a tiered membership plan into her existing Ace Dental workflow. BoomCloud integrated seamlessly and tracked MRR, ARR, and churn automatically.

12 months later:

  • MRR: $9,417/month

  • ARR: $113,004/year

  • Membership patients: 2.8x more spend than insured patients

  • Zero unpaid claims. None. Nada.

She now wakes up knowing EXACTLY how much she’s going to collect this month — before she even walks into the office.


Membership Plans + Your Software = Financial Freedom

Look, Ace Dental Software is solid.

But software alone doesn’t grow your practice. It organizes your practice. And there’s a big difference.

What scales your practice is strategy — specifically, the kind of strategy that builds predictable revenue and reduces dependency on insurance.

That strategy = Membership Plans
The weapon = BoomCloud™
The metrics = MRR + ARR + Revenue Per Patient

BoomCloud is the only platform built specifically for dentists to launch, manage, and grow scalable patient membership programs that spit out reliable, recurring income.


Let’s Talk Data (Because Feelings Don’t Pay Bills)

Here’s why you should care:

Membership patients spend 2X–4X more than insurance patients

  • They say yes more often ✅

  • They stay longer

  • They don’t ghost you when they change jobs ️‍♂️

  • They don’t argue about pricing

Practices with strong membership programs:

  • Increase treatment acceptance by 30–50%

  • See a 25–40% bump in annual collections

  • Boost revenue per patient by up to 4x

  • Enjoy more peace of mind than a monk on a mountaintop ‍♂️


Your 4-Step Plan to Explode MRR With BoomCloud™

Already using Ace Dental Software? Perfect. Let’s layer on some rocket fuel. Here’s the 4-step plan:


Step 1: Design a Killer Membership Plan

BoomCloud™ makes this drop-dead easy. You can:

  • Offer multiple tiers (Basic, Perio, VIP)

  • Include family plans ‍‍

  • Customize services (cleanings, exams, X-rays, discounts)

Pro Tip: Add urgency with limited-time promos and loyalty bonuses.


Step 2: Automate EVERYTHING

BoomCloud™ handles:

  • Recurring billing

  • Failed payment recovery

  • Real-time reporting on MRR, ARR, churn

  • Legal compliance and terms generation

No awkward “can you pay today?” convos with patients.


Step 3: Integrate With Ace Dental Software

BoomCloud works great alongside Ace. Most practices use both together:

  • Ace handles the clinical

  • BoomCloud handles the business

No overlap. No drama. Just results.


Step 4: Track Revenue Like a SaaS Company

Get real-time access to:

  • Monthly Recurring Revenue

  • Annual Recurring Revenue

  • Revenue per Patient

  • Membership churn

Your dental practice isn’t just a clinic anymore.
It’s a subscription-based revenue machine.


BONUS: Real Practices. Real Results.

Dr. Mike in Boise

  • $142K ARR in 8 months

  • 2-tier membership with 800+ active members

  • Used BoomCloud + Ace Dental Software combo

Dr. Tran in San Diego

  • Automated 90% of patient billing

  • No insurance plans accepted in 18 months

  • Practice valuation went up by $600K from MRR alone


(Because We Know You’re Scrolling While Charting…)

  • Ace Dental Software is great for operations.

  • But you need BoomCloud™ to build a scalable business.

  • Membership patients = loyal, cash-paying, high-value patients.

  • You’ll track MRR, ARR, churn, and revenue per patient like a SaaS founder.

  • This combo gives you the power to ditch insurance, increase cash flow, and finally sleep at night.
