$47,000 recovered in 90 days — how a 3-doctor dental practice turned dormant patients into booked chairs
A three-doctor practice with a healthy front desk and good clinical reputation still had a $200K/year recall leak. Running Retention IQ surfaced the patients quietly drifting off schedule and converted them back with psychographic messaging tuned to each segment.
"We thought our recall system worked. It was pulling a list. Actually getting the list re-engaged was a different muscle — and it turns out we weren't doing that part at all. The first month paid for the next two years of the platform."— Representative practice owner · illustrative quote
A 'successful' practice with an invisible leak
Bright Smile had 2,800 active patients in Dentrix and a front desk that was good at what they did — but nobody owned the recall follow-through past the first postcard. An audit of their chart revealed 1,540 patients past their expected 6-month recall, sitting on $320,000 in unrealized hygiene and restorative revenue.
One campaign, four psychographic tracks, multi-channel deployment
CSV exported from Dentrix. 2,800 patients segmented by recency and value tier in under 30 seconds.
Four messaging tracks generated — warm (~3 months overdue), cool (6 mo), cold (12 mo), dormant (24 mo+). Owner reviewed and approved all copy.
Email campaign deployed via practice email tool. Booking links tracked per patient via hosted booking page.
SMS follow-up to non-opens in warm + cool segments.
Second email angle for cold + dormant segments. Personalized from Dr. Patel with no-pressure framing.
Front desk phone outreach to high-value cold patients who hadn't responded.
