If you’re like most general dentists, your schedule is packed — and every minute away from the chair comes at a steep opportunity cost. Yet outdated, inefficient dental charting software continues to slow down practices and expose them to unnecessary legal risk.
That’s why more dentists are embracing Lightning Dental Charts, the purpose-built progress note software that improves documentation speed and quality. And since Lightning helps dentists do more with less, it should come as no surprise that our dental charting solution also delivers an impressive ROI. Let’s dive in.
Why Lightning’s Dental Documentation Software Delivers Outstanding ROI
-
The average U.S. general dental practice generated ~$940,000 in annual production in 2024, per the American Dental Association

That translates to roughly $610/hour in billable time for a dentist
-
Saving even 30 minutes per week adds back more than $1,200/month in recovered time
-
At just $99/month, a subscription to Lightning delivers more than a 10x ROI
-
Many users save 30 minutes a day or more, translating to 40x ROI
Why Our Dental Charts Beat Legacy Solutions
Unlike the standard progress note templates in most practice management systems — which are geared more toward billing and scheduling — Lightning is designed from the ground up to support legally defensible, highly efficient dental charting.
