Our review

CareStack is a cloud-based practice management system that covers scheduling, charting, billing, insurance, patient engagement and reporting in one platform. It supports general dentistry and specialties including orthodontics, periodontics, endodontics, pediatrics and oral surgery, and it sells in the US, UK and Australia.

The company says it has raised $145 million and is used by more than 3,000 practices. Its "AI Suite" adds VoiceStack for AI-handled calls, Aeka for enterprise imaging, and automation that watches the schedule and fills open slots. CareStack also publishes a developer API, and a 2025 partnership with Pearl brings Pearl's radiograph AI into the platform.

Who it's for: multi-location groups and DSOs that want one cloud system and centralized reporting, and growing practices planning to add locations.

Watch-outs: pricing isn't published. The Forrester payback figure on CareStack's site is a vendor-commissioned study. Plan the data conversion and training time carefully, as with any PMS switch. VoiceStack is CareStack's own product, so compare it with independent AI voice tools before bundling.

Disclosure: CareStack also makes VoiceStack, which we list separately under Patient Communication.

Our take: 8.3. One of the strongest cloud options for groups, and it holds up in day-to-day use.
