Planet DDS Accelerates Growth in 2024 with Product Innovation
With 2025 approaching, the company celebrates significant achievements and key milestones.
IRVINE, CA – November 21, 2024 – Planet DDS, a leading provider of cloud-based dental practice management solutions, announces several landmark accomplishments and product innovation in 2024, cementing its position as a trailblazer in the dental industry. From new product improvements and partnerships, to fast-growing revenue and more, Planet DDS is poised for another record-breaking year.
Planet DDS Product Development
Planet DDS made significant strides in product development throughout 2024, continuing to enhance its cloud-based solutions. Key developments included:
DentalOS™
One of the standout achievements of 2024 was the launch of DentalOS™, the industry’s first dental operating system, designed to address the pressing issues facing DSOs. Traditional dental software is broken—with inefficiencies, data silos, and a lack of flexibility that limits DSOs’ ability to scale and adapt. DentalOS is built to fix this by creating a customizable ecosystem through its open API platform, enabling seamless integration of third-party software and allowing DSOs to tailor-make their technology stack.
This approach eliminates the restrictive nature of closed, proprietary systems and supports DSOs in achieving scalable, future-proof operations. In addition, Planet DDS released a comprehensive DentalOS e-book that introduces the new platform and its key benefits.
Open API Program
The most comprehensive and open API, Planet DDS introduces its new open API program to help DSOs enhance interoperability between tools, provide workflow customization, and improve security. Because the program allows DSOs and partners to seamlessly integrate various applications and facilitates synchronized data sharing, DSOs can realize new operational efficiencies.
Enhanced Denticon
Planet DDS continued to advance its flagship product Denticon, launching a reimagined version that enhances practice management, patient communications, analytics, and marketing. In addition, the platform grew revenue by over 40% year over year, and the company is excited to announce that they recently surpassed $100 million in annual committed revenue. The company also launched Denticon’s single sign-on (SSO) feature to streamline access and improve security.
“2024 has been a banner year for us, with our sights set on accelerating the future of dental practice management,” said Eric Giesecke, CEO of Planet DDS. “We’re going beyond innovating our technology—we’re reshaping the dental industry as we know it by setting a new standard of how DSOs work and delivering a roadmap to the future. These key milestones have proven our cloud-based technology is driving the industry forward.”
Technology & Partnerships
Planet DDS has continued to forge key partnerships in 2024, expanding its technological capabilities:
VideaHealth integration
The new partnership with VideaHealth marks Planet DDS as the first dental imaging solution provider to integrate with all three major AI companies—Overjet, Pearl, and VideaHealth. This integration enables dental practices to choose their preferred provider and leverage AI for enhanced imaging capabilities and improved diagnostic accuracy.
RCM enhancements
In partnership with DentalXChange, Planet DDS integrated the XConnect APIs earlier this year into Denticon to streamline insurance processes. The enhanced revenue cycle management (RCM) workflow improves efficiency in claims processing, eligibility verification, and payment posting.
Expanding Our Customer Base
Throughout 2024, Planet DDS has continued to expand its customer base, while also introducing programs to support dental groups of all sizes:
New notable customers
These are some notable DSOs: SEVA Dental, Smile Doctors, DecisionOne Dental, Five Point Dental Specialists, and Chord Specialty Dental Partners, have all adopted Planet DDS solutions this year. Smile Doctors, in particular, has surpassed 400 locations using Cloud 9, while DecisionOne Dental and Chord Specialty Dental Partners have implemented Denticon and Cloud 9 across their practices.
Additionally, Imagen Dental Partners, a dental partnership organization with over 100 locations, recently joined as a new customer.
New Launchpad program
Planet DDS unveiled its Launchpad program, a unique initiative designed to democratize access to cloud solutions for emerging dental and orthodontic groups looking to scale and grow. Available to new customers, eligible groups have access to the best-in-class practice management and imaging solution features at 80% savings, plus education and support from a team of growth experts.
Growth and Industry Leadership
Additionally, Planet DDS has received significant recognition for its sustained growth trajectory. They climbed to No. 1,599 on the Inc. 5000 list, a significant leap from No. 3,376 in 2023 and No. 2,489 in 2022, and earned the #3 spot for Fastest Growing Medium Sized Companies with the Orange County Business Journal. For the second consecutive year, Planet DDS has earned a spot on the prestigious 2024 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 list, securing spot #352 with a 333% growth rate over the past three years.
With these accomplishments, Planet DDS is well-positioned for continued success throughout 2024 and beyond. As the company scales its client base, elevates its product offerings, and leads in technological innovation, it remains committed to transforming the dental industry with cloud-based solutions that drive growth, efficiency, and improved patient outcomes.
