Industry baseline is 18–22%. Use 20% if you don't track it.

Currently leaking

$41,568/mo

That's revenue walking out the door from missed appointments you can't fill on short notice.

With Cadence Agents

$24,941/mo recovered

≈ $299,290 per year. Mia (reminders) + Luna (reactivation) typically drop no-show rates to ~8%.

How this works: weekly_patients × 4.33 × no_show_rate × avg_value. Recovered = same formula on the delta between your current rate and ~8%.

How the math works

Industry baseline no-show rate: 18-22% across dental practices in North America (ADA + various PMS reporting dashboards). 20% is a reasonable default if you're not sure.
Recovered with Cadence: practices that ship Mia (24h + 2h SMS reminders) plus Luna (recall + reactivation) drop their no-show rate to ~8% on average — a 60% relative reduction from the 20% baseline. Reminders alone do most of the work; the reactivation flow recovers patients who otherwise ghost.
Lost-revenue formula: weekly_patients × 4.33 × no_show_rate × avg_value. The 4.33 is the average number of weeks per month.
Recovered-revenue formula: same as above, but applied to the delta between your current no-show rate and the post-Cadence rate. Conservative — assumes no upside from filling the recovered slots with rescheduled or recall patients.

These are industry averages, not a guarantee. Real numbers depend on your patient mix, geography, and how aggressively you run reminders. We don't store any input from this page.
