What is DentalOS?
With rising patient expectations and increasing operational complexities, the need for a transformative approach in the dental industry’s tech stack is undeniable – the era of legacy dental software is nearing its end.
Our team is focused on delivering outstanding care with compassion, convenience, and consistency. Transitioning from Dentrix Enterprise to Denticon allows us to strengthen our support systems without getting in the way of what matters most, our patients. With this platform, we can offer a better experience that empowers our clinicians, streamline operations, and continue living out our values at every location for the families we serve.
We partnered with Planet DDS early on as we prepared for growth. The cloud-based system is perfect for our diverse geography and central reporting structure. They continue to expand features such as orthodontics and online scheduling to support Lone Peak’s expanding business lines as we provide patients with the conveniences they desire.

CEO
Lone Peak Dental Group
I’ve been impressed with Planet DDS’s responsiveness and willingness to customize to its customers’ preferences.
I have been working with Planet DDS since 2009. I have appreciated their willingness to work closely with clients to ensure that Denticon can be maximized within the individual DSO. The improvements that Planet DDS has made over the last 10+ years have been impressive. I am sure I will be a client of Planet DDS for many more years to come.
Every team has delivered. Planet DDS’s people have been some of the most responsive and engaged people that I have ever experienced. I would 100% recommend them, and the product, to anyone”

We were looking for a SaaS solution that would satisfy our existing requirements for standardizing our business processes to better serve patients as well as being forward-thinking and nimble to quickly deliver new features. From an IT perspective, we were also looking for a solution that would help us consolidate the number of applications that we currently have to support. We felt that Denticon was in the best position to deliver for us today and in the future.

Planet DDS makes getting, using, and understanding our data easy by providing secure and easy-to-use data transport. They have integrations with key vendors that make life easier when integrating our other systems.
The data gives us facts to support the clinical investments we’ve made at Marquee. The clinical feedback and coaching that’s provided to doctors and hygienists have come from the facts that clinical leaders get from our [Denticon] reporting systems.
Fred Ward
CEO
Marquee Dental Partners
Denticon has been a huge win for us. Having a cloud-based solution took away the bottleneck of servers. I had spent so much time, money, and resources building infrastructure, but I realized it starts with the practice management solution. I only wish I had begun using Denticon from the beginning. The cloud capabilities of Denticon are what have allowed us to grow at this rate.”
Data is very important to us because it helps us immediately see issues and quickly course correct. Prior to using Planet DDS, office managers would run multiple reports, including financial analysis, and combine them into one report to make them look good. This was very time-consuming. Now, with Planet DDS, we get everything we need in one place.
DentalOS™ has transformed how we manage our DSO. The platform’s enhanced APIs allow us to unlock new levels of customization and integration, making operations smoother and patient experiences more seamless.
