Is a Dental Membership Plan Right for Your Practice?
In-house membership plans let uninsured patients access affordable preventive care through a monthly or annual subscription. Unlike insurance, you set the fees, there are no write-offs, and members pay you directly — creating a predictable recurring revenue stream alongside higher treatment acceptance.
Typical Membership Plan Economics
Most successful plans charge $25–$45/month and include two cleanings, two exams, and necessary x-rays per year. The cost to deliver those services typically runs $150–$300/member/year. The result: 50–75% gross margins on membership fees alone, before any additional treatment revenue. Members also accept 15–25% more restorative treatment than uninsured non-members, compounding the revenue impact.
What This Calculator Measures
- Membership revenue — recurring fees from enrolled patients, split by monthly and annual plan mix
- Additional treatment revenue — the incremental production from members’ higher acceptance rates
- Net revenue — after deducting the cost of delivering included preventive services
- 3-year growth projection — assuming 90% annual retention and 15% new member growth
- ROI and payback period — how long until setup costs are recovered
