Denticon🇺🇸

Denticon is a cloud-based practice management system from Planet DDS, aimed at DSOs and dental groups. The company says 13,000+ practices use it. Front office, clinical and back office work all live in one platform. It covers scheduling, two-way texting, online booking and forms, an ortho module and multi-specialty charting, and revenue cycle tools including interactive eligibility checks, batch claims and automatic 835 (ERA) posting.

AI shows up in a few places. DentalOS AI Agents make outbound calls to confirm appointments and schedule overdue patients across locations. There's hands-free voice charting for perio and restorative exams, and AI-enabled x-ray analysis is built in.

For groups, Planet DDS emphasizes in-house implementation, data conversion from 60+ systems and training at scale. It reports SOC 2 Type 2 compliance and HIPAA safeguards. It lists 25+ integrations, a smaller ecosystem than the biggest on-premises systems.

Who it's for: DSOs and multi-location groups that want one cloud system with organization-wide reporting.

Watch-outs: pricing isn't published. Check that the specific third-party tools you rely on are among the integrations.

Our take: 8.0. It's excellent for groups and a little less open than Open Dental.
