Planet DDS: Your Partner for All-in-One Dental Software — Part 1: “Why Denticon” Series

When you think about the future of dental software and your DSO, what comes to mind? How do you define success for your DSO, and what are your goals for growth and expansion? 

Perhaps you’re looking for a true all-in-one solution that helps your DSO standardize reporting and centralize operations while reducing costs. Or maybe a solution that will simplify IT and strengthen security tops your list. 

You don’t need to look any further. We’re Planet DDS, and we’re problem-solvers for DSOs. 

No matter your objectives, Planet DDS is committed to helping you get there faster with our mission-critical dental software, Denticon. 

Designed to make practice management easier and more efficient while eliminating repetitive tasks, Denticon was born out of our passion for helping DSOs achieve their unique goals. 

When launched in 2003, Denticon was the first cloud-based dental practice management solution of its kind. Today, it’s the industry-leading, award-recognized choice for over 50,000 dental professionals across the United States. 

Get to Know the Company Behind the Solution  

If you’ve been shopping around for practice management solutions, you’re probably familiar with Denticon. But how well do you know the company behind it? Read on to find out how we got started, where we’re headed, and what makes us tick. 

Our Founding: Dental Software DSO

In 2003, we founded Planet DDS to introduce something revolutionary at the time: a cloud-based practice management solution for the dental industry. As the first company to offer such a breakthrough product, Planet DDS ushered in a new era of dental practice management and has been living up to its promise since. 

A lot has changed for us since 2003, including growing our team, opening new offices, and expanding our products offerings. But some things have remained the same, including our commitment to delivering the latest most innovative dental software.

A common theme in our business’s history is how often we’ve been the first to introduce an industry innovation. We were the first to the cloud with Denticon, and we’ve continued to find unprecedented ways to solve problems. We’ve also facilitated significant acquisitions, the most recent being Legwork — a leader in patient relationship management — in December 2021. 

Our Core Values 

Our dental software for DSOs wouldn’t be where we are without the support of the thousands of dental professionals and practices that have partnered with us over the years. As much as we believe in our solutions, we understand that when clients choose our products, they choose to work with our people, too. 

Our mission is to unleash dentists and their staff to focus on patient care, and we’re deeply committed to helping our clients grow their practices. No matter who we’re working with, we value collaboration, empathy, accountability, trustworthiness, and ambition. And as we strive for the latest breakthroughs, we promote a company culture of innovation and continuous learning. 

Partnering With Our Clients in the Product Development Process 

We’re so determined to build our dental software to help DSO clients grow that we involve them in Denticon’s product development process. Allowing them to suggest new features and vote on which ones we should roll out next has led to some of our most impactful product enhancements. We owe a big thank you to all clients who have helped make Denticon even better. 

Industry Awards 

Denticon is the product of a thoughtful, creative process that has resulted in a robust and powerful solution, but don’t take our word for it. Serving thousands of practices and adding hundreds more each year, our clients come from a vast network of dental professionals from nearly every state in the country.
