- [DSO Reporting: Turning Data into Real Insights for Multi-Locations](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/dso-reporting/): For dental support organizations (DSOs), reporting becomes more complex with every location added to the organization. Production, collections, patient activity, provider performance, revenue cycle metrics, and other information may all be available, but making that data useful across dozens or hundreds of practices requires consistency in how it is captured, measured, and reviewed.
- [Centralized DSO Scheduling: Connecting Patients and Teams Across Locations ](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/dso-scheduling/): Cloud-based dental practice management software is increasingly part of a broader technology ecosystem that brings DSO scheduling together with patient engagement, automation, AI, and other operational functions. Modern dental enterprise platforms bring these capabilities together, allowing technology to act on scheduling data rather than simply display it. 
- [Dental Marketing Platforms: Integrated Solutions for Multi-Location Growth ](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/dental-marketing-platforms/): Multi-location organizations need a dental marketing platform that can support centralized strategy and local execution, connect patient acquisition with ongoing engagement, and exchange data with the dental practice management system running the organization. 
- [How to Prioritize DSO Technology Problems in 2026](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/dso-technology/): Choosing dental support organization (DSO) technology in 2026 requires prioritizing problems based on how they impact operational efficiency, scalability, integration, and data visibility for a multi-location organization.

It's a structural problem that dental service organizations (DSOs) and multilocation practices alike are struggling to solve.
- [AI Voice Progress Notes: Chairside Documentation Built into Denticon](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/ai-voice-progress-notes/): AI Voice Progress Notes takes a different approach. Providers speak the note during or right after the visit, review a clean, structured draft, and approve it, written directly into the patient chart in Denticon. No re-entry, no separate system, and no after-hours catch-up. 
- [How to Choose DSO Dental Software in 2026 ](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/dso-dental-software-2026/): When dental support organizations (DSOs) outgrow their dental practice management software, their evaluation shifts from features to infrastructure.

- [DentalOS®: Built for the Dental Enterprise Era](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/dentalos-dental-enterprise/): That era produced extraordinary scale. It did not produce the infrastructure to run it. The acquisition phase succeeded. The dental enterprise operating phase is what is coming next.

Seven distinct trends are setting the stage for 2026, each reshaping how patients shop for care, what they're willing to pay for, and what they expect from their dental team. These aren't minor preferences; they're fundamental shifts separating practices that grow from those that plateau.
- [AI Voice Restorative Charting: Standardizing Clinical Documentation Across Locations  ](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/ai-voice-restorative-charting/): Restorative charting is one of the most common clinical workflows in general dentistry and one of the most difficult to standardize as organizations grow.

- [Why Your RCM Strategy May Be Your Greatest Financial Liability](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/rcm-strategy/): Here's what keeps me up at night as a chief financial officer: watching dental organizations leave millions on the table because they're waiting for the "right time" to modernize their revenue cycle management (RCM) strategy.

- [Why DSOs and Dental Groups Are Choosing Tools That Fit Inside Their PMS ](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/dsos-dental-groups-pms/): As dental organizations grow, routine practice management system (PMS) processes often become more complicated than they need to be. Tasks like scheduling and patient intake, when managed across multiple systems, can lead to confusion, errors, and additional work for staff. 
- [Cloud 9 Connect: Simplify Communication and Improve Patient Engagement ](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/cloud-9-connect/): With nearly half (49%) of orthodontic and dental practices relying on automated reminders, it’s clear that predictable, well-timed messaging has become a core part of the patient experience. Cloud 9 Connect meets that need as a built-in communication solution within Cloud 9 orthodontic practice management. 
- [Leading Your Dental Organization Through Change: From Server to Cloud-Based PMS](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/leading-dental-change/): As General Eric Shinseki once said, “If you don’t like change, you’re going to like irrelevance even less.” That idea has never been more true for dental service organizations (DSOs) and dental groups.

Adoption has been straightforward, and it makes periodontal exams easier.  It simplifies the workflow, allows hygienists to work more independently, and keeps everything in one system so they can stay focused on the patient instead of the process.
- [Etta Bourne – DSO – MyTooth](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/testimonial/etta-bourne-dso-mytooth/): For a DSO with multiple brands, the ability to bring each practice’s branding forward while streamlining workflows has been a huge win. So much is automated now that our front desk teams can stay patient-focused instead of tied to the phone, and patients consistently praise how simple the online experience is. Implementation was quick, support was exceptional, and I’d absolutely recommend MyTooth to any DSO looking to save time and deliver a more modern, seamless patient journey.

- [Lindsay Romeo – Peak Dental Services – DSO](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/testimonial/linsay-romeo-peak-dental-services-dso/): Peak’s RCM team works remotely, and we used to have to remote into servers. Every site was different. You had to log out and then log back into each location, otherwise you couldn’t see what was happening at the other location. It was a pain having to navigate through that.

- [Dr. Doug Depew – Solo – Cloud 9](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/testimonial/dr-doug-depew-solo-cloud-9/): I travel a lot. And while I’m traveling I’m still treatment planning.

- [Allison Parks Hale – OSO – Cloud 9](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/testimonial/allison-parks-hale-oso-cloud-9/): The biggest asset to having Cloud 9 is being able to use the full software, all of its features, from anywhere on the planet that you have an internet connection …as the Operations Officer, I'm in charge of things like time cards and payroll, and I have been in Italy and had to run payroll. …I've done it from the Bahamas, the Outer Banks, you name it!

- [Justin Aaron](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/testimonial/justin-aaron/): Apteryx not only provides us with a truly hardware-agnostic product, but they also provide us with a great support and development team.

- [Douglas Doran – Solo – Denticon](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/testimonial/dr-douglas-doran/): We'd been longtime Dentrix users prior to this—leaving that behind and switching to Denticon was by far one of the most significant beneficial changes we've ever made to our office operations. We would never even consider going back."
- [Martha McCarty, RDH – Multisite – Denticon](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/testimonial/martha-mccarty-rdh/): "Personally, I think Denticon is great for multiple offices, and one office would also gain significant benefits with it. We're a large practice with a lot of employees, so we needed a bigger system with more capabilities and Denticon could facilitate these needs. We've been very happy with the software."
- [Dmitry Burshteyn – Multisite – Denticon](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/testimonial/dmitry-burshteyn/): 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."
- [Dr. Orest Bauer – Solo – Denticon](https://www.planetdds.com/blog/testimonial/dr-orest-bauer/): I have been a customer since 2012 and have seen the software grow and improve in leaps and bounds since then. Love the software and the direction of the company."
