What is one accepted case actually worth to your practice?
Set your monthly case goal, add your economics blended across single implants, full-arch and veneer cases, and see the leads, consults and paid media budget it takes. Defaults match the implant industry’s own acquisition math.
Step 1 · Your goal
Start with your monthly goal.
How many new cases do you want each month? Set that first, then add your economics. Every number below updates to show exactly what it takes to get there.
Your goal and economics
Set your goal, then your real averages. Rough is fine, you can move every slider.
Your monthly growth target. Start here, everything below builds on it.
Blended across your case mix: single implants, full-arch and veneer cases.
The share of one patient’s value you reinvest in paid media to win them.
Of the inquiries you get, how many book a consult.
Of booked consults, how many accept and complete treatment. No-shows count against this rate.

You are at or above the 10 / 3 / 0.8 goal. The cheapest path to the dream is a better close rate at the consults stage, not a bigger budget.
Your goal cost per lead is a steady-state target, not a launch-day cap. Expect to pay more during the first few weeks while the platform’s bidding exits its learning phase. Cut spend too early and the algorithm never gets the conversion data it needs to settle into this number.
The implant industry’s own worked examples land near $1,875 to acquire a case. These defaults match that reality instead of promising cheaper.
A practice that intends to grow runs total marketing at about 20% of gross procedure revenue. This tool prices the paid-media share of winning one additional patient at that same standard, never below it. The full arithmetic: What Should a Practice Actually Spend on Marketing?
Planning estimates only, based on the inputs you enter. Real results vary by market, offer, and follow-up speed. Not a guarantee of performance.
Step 2 · Your funnel
But a lead is not a patient.
The two conversion rates you set above decide how many of every 10 leads become cases. This is where the cheapest growth lives, because a better funnel beats a bigger budget every time. Our patient growth system is built on exactly this math: measure the funnel on cases, not form fills, then fix the stage that leaks.
The Goal
10 / 3 / 0.8
Every 10 leads turn into 3 consults and about 1 accepted case — marketing-lead case acceptance, not warm referrals.
The Dream
10 / 4 / 1.6
Same 10 leads, roughly double the cases. Where practices land with a trained treatment coordinator running consults.
These are the same economics we manage every day for dental implant & cosmetic practices. See how we market for dental implant & cosmetic practices.
