What are missed hygiene visits costing you?

Every practice has patients who quietly fell off the recall schedule. Put in three numbers you already know and see what that’s worth per year — the math runs right here in your browser.

Your practice

Rough numbers are fine — your PMS knows the exact ones.

This all happens in your browser. Nothing you type is sent, stored, or seen by us.

Left on the table each year

$180,000

600 of your patients are off the hygiene schedule. At 2 visits a year and $150 a visit, that’s 1,200 visits — $15,000 a month — not happening. That’s arithmetic on your own numbers, not a projection.

If steady recall wins some of them back

Cautious · 10%

$18,000/yr

120 visits back on the books

Middling · 25%

$45,000/yr

300 visits back on the books

Strong · 40%

$72,000/yr

480 visits back on the books

Scenarios, not promises — real win-back depends on your list, your area, and how long patients have been away. Practices that never ask win back close to none of it.

The break-even line: DreamCRM is $200/mo — at your fees it pays for itself the moment recall books back 2 visits a month. Everything past that is the upside above.

How the math works — all of it

Three numbers you typed, two the industry agrees on, and nothing else. There is no model here and no projection of your results.

What’s at stake, per year

Patients off the schedule, times 2 hygiene visits a year, times your average hygiene visit value, equals what is at stake per year.

The three columns above apply a 10%, 25% and 40% win-back rate to that number — hedged on purpose, because a recall engine reaches people; it doesn’t teleport them into chairs. The only practice-specific numbers anywhere on this page are the ones you typed.

The part software actually changes is the asking. Most practices ask once, by hand, when someone remembers. A recall engine asks every due patient, every cycle, forever — email first, with a booking link — and reports the only number that matters: booked back. That’s the exact funnel DreamCRM runs and shows you, and we published the scripts free: the recall scripts.

The break-even line is the whole pitch

$200/mo flat, month-to-month. At your own fees, the number above says how many visits a month it takes to pay for itself — and everything past that is the upside you just calculated.
