Sage Dental, a rapidly growing dental network with over 140 practices in the Southeastern U.S., has selected Denticon by Planet DDS as its enterprise practice management platform.
The move aims to enhance clinical efficiency, operational consistency, and patient-centered care across the network.
Transitioning from its legacy Dentrix Enterprise system, Sage Dental has long relied on custom in-house technology to fill gaps in workflow, analytics, and revenue management.
Partnering with Planet DDS now allows the group to consolidate these solutions into a unified, AI-driven platform designed for scalability and efficiency.
Thomas Marler, CEO of Sage Dental Management, emphasized the significance of the collaboration: “For years, we built our own solutions to close gaps between what was possible and what our patients deserved.
With Planet DDS, we’ve found a partner who not only meets our standards but expands them. Together, we’re collapsing complexity into clarity, building a seamless foundation that elevates both patient care and team experience.”
Unlike standard implementations, Sage Dental and Planet DDS are co-developing enterprise-grade tools tailored to the group’s operational needs.
Among these innovations is an enhanced estimation engine that uses AI and predictive analytics to provide highly accurate treatment cost estimates. This tool aims to reduce billing surprises for patients while improving reimbursement accuracy for providers.
Mike Huffaker, Chief Revenue Officer at Planet DDS, noted, “Sage Dental’s commitment to building technology around patients has raised the bar for the industry. This partnership pairs Sage’s vision with our platform to transform operations and the patient experience.”
The integration will centralize scheduling, clinical documentation, billing, analytics, and imaging into a single cloud-based system. Key benefits include:
Consolidated Infrastructure: Merging legacy tools into a secure, cloud-native platform.
AI-Enhanced Accuracy: Improved revenue capture and forecasting through predictive modeling.
Financial Transparency: Minimizing unexpected patient balances via advanced estimation.
Data-Driven Performance: Unified insights across 140 locations to optimize outcomes.
Scalable Growth: Streamlined onboarding and integration for new practices.
Collaborative Innovation: Development of next-generation tools beyond standard PMS functions.
Benjamin Walling, CTO at Sage Dental, highlighted the human impact: “This partnership lets us focus on what matters most—delivering excellent patient outcomes without technology constraints.
By integrating our experience with Denticon, we’re creating a scalable system that strengthens both efficiency and patient relationships.”
With this strategic move, Sage Dental aims to maintain operational excellence while expanding into new markets, setting a new standard for technology-driven dental care.
