Replace the scattered software around your practice.
The typical UK dental practice pays for AI phones, an inbox, a TCO tool, an HR tool, a compliance tool, a website builder and a reporting tool. dentorb is one platform, one subscription, one team.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
Do we have to leave our current PMS?
No. dentorb is designed to work alongside your PMS — Dentally first, with SOE/EXACT and R4 on the roadmap. We replace the tools around the PMS, not the clinical record itself.
How does pricing compare to the existing stack?
Most practices find dentorb sits below the combined cost of the 5–7 tools it replaces, with a much shorter onboarding and one team to talk to. Exact pricing is on the pricing page.
What if we only need one or two of these workflows?
We'd genuinely tell you to stick with your existing tool. dentorb is built for owners who want to consolidate the surrounding stack — not for buying a single feature.
