It isn't a marketing problem. The patients are already in your chairs. The decision just happens after they leave, at home, without you in the room.

Two inputs. Conservative assumptions you can check against your own fee schedule.
ADA average gross billings per general dentist, 2025
$1,200 is about one crown
Adding a doctor scales your production by your per-doctor average, and updates your monthly rate below.
Production, $965,660: average gross billings per general dentist in private practice, 2025 (ADA Health Policy Institute, Survey of Dental Practice).
Unscheduled treatment, 58%: the average case completion rate is about 42%, so 58% of diagnosed treatment does not get scheduled. Published analysis brackets that figure: acceptance of diagnosed treatment measured by dollar amount runs 35 to 45%, and one analysis puts the average practice at closing about 34 cents of every dollar presented.
What the calculator actually uses: 50 cents unscheduled per dollar of production, which is deliberately more conservative than the 58% figure.
Case value, $1,200: published fee ranges put a single crown at $1,000 to $1,500, a molar root canal at $1,000 to $2,000, and a composite filling at $150 to $450. $1,200 is about one crown.
Follow-up work: about half of treatment completed by a specialist requires finishing work back in the referring dentist's chair.
Referral loss: industry referral-completion studies put non-completion at 30 to 40%, reaching about half for paper referral slips. We use 1 in 3.
Recovery scenarios: the 5, 15, and 25% figures are our own conservative assumptions, not vendor claims. For comparison, Overjet publicly reports an average 25% increase in case acceptance, and Refera advertises referral scheduling rising from 50% to 80%. Our strong case sits at or below what others already claim as typical.
