Curve Dental review

Curve Dental places fourth because it bundles tools that other systems sell separately. Its pricing page lists unlimited eClaims, ERA and eligibility, which removes the need for a third-party clearinghouse, plus native cloud imaging, Curve GRO patient engagement with automated reminders and a campaign builder, and business analytics with huddle dashboards. Front office scheduling, billing and payment processing sit alongside restorative and perio charting and patient education. Data protection covers continuous backup, intrusion detection and disaster recovery, so there is no server to maintain. Support runs 24/7/365 by phone and email, and start-ups can ask for special implementation and license pricing. The weakness is price transparency: Curve does not publish a figure, so practices must request a quote and add up what they would otherwise pay for imaging, reminders and a clearinghouse to judge value.

Who it is for

Independent and multi-location practices that want to drop servers and separate tools for imaging, reminders and clearinghouse claims.
