The dental alternative to Monday.com
Your practice shouldn't run on a board you have to build first.
Monday.com is flexible — but flexibility means setup. dentorb ships dental practice ops out of the box: rota, HR, compliance, SOPs, KPI cockpit. No boards. No formulas. No consultant.
Free demo.
No obligation.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
Do we have to leave our current practice management system?
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 (front desk, growth, comms, team ops, reporting), not the clinical record itself.
We've spent months configuring Monday — is it wasted?
No — we'll help map your existing boards into dentorb's structured workflows during onboarding. The good news is most practices find they were rebuilding the same workflows we ship by default.
Is dentorb as flexible as Monday?
It's intentionally less flexible — and that's the point. We make opinionated decisions about how a UK dental practice should run, so your team gets a working system instead of a blank canvas.
