The Best Dental Software of 2018 Was Cute… But Let’s Talk Cash Flow
Remember 2018?
-
The iPhone X was hot.
-
“Flossing” was a dance, not just a dental instruction.
-
And Curve Dental, Dentrix, and Eaglesoft were fighting for the crown as the best dental software of 2018.
We all bought in.
More automation.
More dashboards.
More button-clicking.
But five years later, here’s the real question:
Did any of that actually make you more money?
If your bank account didn’t grow with your software stack…
…you didn’t upgrade your business.
You just upgraded your to-do list.
⚕️ STORY: Dr. Erin Was Trapped in the 2018 “Software Dream” — Until She Discovered BoomCloud™
Dr. Erin Lewis in Tulsa, Oklahoma had all the goodies from the golden year of dental software:
-
Eaglesoft ✅
-
Revenue reports ✅
-
Hygiene reminders ✅
-
Texting & email blasting ✅
Her patient flow was solid. Her calendar looked busy.
But her profits were stuck in 2018 — even though her costs kept rising.
She said:
“We were communicating, but we weren’t converting. And insurance was eating us alive.”
That’s when she found BoomCloud™, and decided to stack membership revenue on top of her legacy software.
In just 11 months:
| Metric | Before BoomCloud™ | After |
|---|---|---|
| MRR | $0 | $9,620/month |
| ARR | $0 | $115,440/year |
| Patient Retention | 61% | 93% |
| Revenue per Member | $576 | $1,348 |
| Insurance Dependence | 83% | 39% |
2018 Was the Year of Features. Today Is the Era of Revenue.
If you’re still obsessing over the best dental software from 2018, you’re missing the point.
Yes, practice management systems are crucial.
