Planet DDS Expands Its Lead in Enterprise and Multi-Location DSO Adoption in 2025

Cloud-based dental software leader adds major DSOs, expands DentalOS™ ecosystem, and advances up AI-first platform.

IRVINE, Calif., January 28, 2026 – Planet DDS, a leading provider of cloud-based, enterprise-grade dental software solutions, closed 2025 by widening its lead in enterprise and multi-location DSOs adoption, driven by growth across Denticon, Cloud 9, and Apteryx.

Today, Planet DDS supports more 100+ location dental support organizations (DSOs) than any other cloud-based dental practice management provider, enabling 14,500 practices and 175,000 users to standardize operations on a single, enterprise-ready platform.

Enterprise Customer Growth Across Denticon and Cloud 9

As DSOs scale through acquisitions and consolidations, Planet DDS has become the default choice for organizations outgrowing legacy systems and fragmented tools, seeking operational consistency, real-time data visibility, and long-term enterprise value. Throughout 2025, the company expanded its footprint across both general dentistry and orthodontics, adding new customers and deepening existing relationships across its cloud-based portfolio.

Built on connection, the platform brings people, workflows, and technology together across growing-organizations— addressing a core industry truth: dental software is broken, and it needs to work better at scale.

“2025 reinforced what we are hearing consistently from DSOs and multi-location practices. Standardization matters. Organizations want one connected platform that supports growth today and positions them for what comes next. Our results reflect that shift.” —Eric Giesecke, CEO, Planet DDS

Notable customer additions and expansions include:

These additions further strengthen Planet DDS as the most widely adopted platform among large DSOs, including organizations operating 30, 50, and more than 100 locations nationwide.

Leadership Expansion and Industry Recognition 

To support increasing enterprise demand, Planet DDS expanded its executive leadership team by adding Ian Solcz as Vice President of Professional Services.

Solcz brings deep healthcare technology experience from Epic Systems, where he partnered with large provider organizations on complex implementations and operational transformation. At Planet DDS, he leads professional services with a focus on consistent delivery, scalable onboarding, and long-term customer success.

Planet DDS also received multiple third-party recognitions in 2025, reflecting both growth performance and market leadership.

Recent award wins include:

These recognitions highlight sustained execution as the company continues to scale its platform and customer base.

From Cloud-First to AI-First 

Looking ahead, Planet DDS is preparing to unveil the next phase of DentalOS™ with AI at Orbit, the company’s annual user conference taking place February 25–27, 2026.

At Orbit, Planet DDS will introduce its transition from a cloud-first foundation to an AI-first strategy, including the initial rollout of agentic AI capabilities, designed to help DSOs automate workflows, surface insights, and drive more predictable performance across operations. This evolution builds on Planet DDS’s foundational belief that dental software must move beyond disconnected systems toward intelligent, connected operations that scale with modern DSOs.

The company will also debut its next Dental Industry Outlook Report, providing data-driven insights into consolidation trends, technology adoption, and operational benchmarks shaping the dental industry.

Planet DDS closed 2025 with expanded adoption among the largest DSOs in the industry, deeper leadership capabilities, and increasing third-party recognition. More importantly, the company enters 2026 with the customer base, platform maturity, and AI roadmap to define what enterprise dental software looks like for the next decade.
