Coast Dental Standardizes on Denticon for 88-Location Expansion
Event summary
- Coast Dental, with 88 locations across Florida, Georgia, and Texas, has adopted Denticon by Planet DDS to standardize operations.
- The dental support organization serves ~1M patients annually with 600K+ visits and employs 800+ team members.
- Denticon will replace existing systems to support general and specialty dentistry workflows across all locations.
- Coast Dental already uses Planet DDS’s Apteryx XVWeb for imaging and will integrate Denticon with DentalOS’s open API platform.
The big picture
Coast Dental’s move to Denticon reflects a broader trend among dental support organizations (DSOs) to consolidate on cloud-based, interoperable platforms to manage rapid expansion. The shift aligns with the industry’s push toward AI-driven automation and operational standardization, particularly as DSOs scale beyond 50 locations. Planet DDS’s open API platform positions it as a key player in the DSO software space, competing with legacy providers like Henry Schein and Patterson Companies.
