Sage Dental, a fast-growing dental group with over 140 practices across the Southeastern U.S., has selected Denticon by Planet DDS as its enterprise practice management platform.
The move aims to streamline operations, improve clinician efficiency, and enhance patient-centered care across its network.
Transitioning from the legacy Dentrix Enterprise system, Sage Dental will consolidate its custom in-house tools into a single, AI-powered platform.
Over the years, the group had developed proprietary workflows, analytics tools, and revenue solutions to fill gaps left by its previous system.
Thomas Marler, CEO of Sage Dental Management, said, “For years, we built what we couldn’t find. With Planet DDS, we’ve found a partner who not only meets our standards but expands them.
Together, we’re creating a seamless, scalable foundation that elevates both patient care and team experience.”
The partnership goes beyond standard implementations. Sage Dental and Planet DDS are co-designing enterprise-grade features, including an advanced estimation engine that uses AI and predictive analytics to provide highly accurate treatment cost estimates. This reduces billing surprises for patients and improves reimbursement accuracy for providers.
Mike Huffaker, Chief Revenue Officer at Planet DDS, added, “Sage Dental’s patient-focused approach has raised industry standards. This partnership pairs their vision with our platform to transform operations, scalability, and the patient experience.”
Denticon will centralize workflows across scheduling, clinical documentation, billing, analytics, and imaging, enabling operational consistency and smoother expansion into new markets. Key benefits include:
Consolidated Infrastructure: Replace multiple legacy and in-house systems with a secure, cloud-native platform.
AI-Enhanced Accuracy: Improve revenue capture and forecasting using predictive modeling.
Financial Transparency: Minimize unexpected patient balances with advanced estimation tools.
Data-Driven Performance: Track outcomes and trends across all 140 locations.
Scalable Growth: Simplify onboarding for new practices while maintaining consistency.
Collaborative Innovation: Develop next-generation features beyond standard practice management functions.
Benjamin Walling, CTO of Sage Dental, emphasized the human impact: “This partnership lets us focus on delivering great patient outcomes without being limited by technology. Integrating our experience with Denticon creates a system that scales intelligently, simplifies operations, and strengthens patient care.”
