About

Financial clarity for pediatric dental practices

We believe pediatric practice owners deserve the same financial clarity that Fortune 500 companies demand — without the consulting fees.

Mission

Why DentBooks exists

Pediatric practice owners spend years training to deliver excellent care. They don't spend years training to interpret financial statements, calculate carrier profitability, or reconcile patient receivables. The gap between clinical excellence and financial clarity is where DentBooks lives.

We started with pediatric practices because the unit economics are distinctive — higher Medicaid payer mix, reappointment dynamics, hygienist-heavy production, broken- appointment recovery patterns. Generic dental dashboards miss those signals; we surface them directly. One dashboard for collections, production, insurance profitability, overhead, AR aging, and reappointment rate. Built for the practice owner, not the accountant.

DentBooks is in active beta with first pediatric practices in Texas.

Approach

How we build

Four principles that shape every decision — from the data model to the dashboard copy a dentist reads between patients.

1

Real numbers, no jargon

Plain-language copy throughout. No "actionable intelligence" buzzwords.

2

Built with practicing dentists

Real-customer-led design. Every feature ships after dentist feedback.

3

Read-only access, full ownership

DentBooks reads your data. We never write to your practice management system. Your data stays yours.

4

One dashboard, not five

Consolidates Open Dental, QuickBooks, Plaid, and Stripe into a single view.

Integrations

Built on platforms you already trust

DentBooks connects to the platforms your practice already uses. Verifiable connections, no middleware. Each is read-only and used to surface the metrics that drive practice decisions.

Common questions

FAQ

How long does setup take?
Bank connection via Plaid takes about 2 minutes. Open Dental connection takes about 10 minutes once your Developer Key is provisioned. After the first sync your dashboard is live. We walk every new practice through the first sync personally.
What data do you need?
Read-only access to your business bank account (via Plaid), your Open Dental practice management system (via OD's API), and optionally your QuickBooks Online file. We never write anything back to your bank or PMS in current scope. No PHI is stored — only anonymized patient hashes for cohort analysis.
Can you integrate with my practice management system?
Open Dental is supported today. Dentrix, Eaglesoft, and Curve connectors are on the roadmap. The architecture is PMS-agnostic by design — new connectors land without changing the dashboard.
What about data security?
Every row in our database carries a practice ownership tag enforced at the database layer (Postgres row-level security). Encrypted at rest, encrypted in transit. Bank credentials live in Plaid's vault, not ours. We never store patient names, dates of birth, or phone numbers — only one-way SHA-256 hashes for deduplication.
How much does it cost?
One plan, everything included — financial dashboard, Practice Health, Open Dental integration, daily syncs. We share pricing on a short walkthrough where we can show you the numbers from your own practice first. Book a walkthrough to get a quote.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — 2 months free when you subscribe. Plenty of time to see your PPO write-off, recall, and staff payroll numbers play out before billing kicks in. Cancel anytime.
What if I want to leave?
Cancel anytime. Export all your historical data on the way out — no lock-in, no retention play. We expect to earn your monthly fee every month.
