Pros
Ability to use the software anywhere there's internet
Very easy to learn
Nice graphics
Ability to email newsletters/mass emails to all patients
Unending reports (can customize reports for what you want)
Each user can customize their view of the schedule
Doctor can limit what parts of the system each staff can change
Patient education videos are excellent
Ability to upload images (xrays, pictures, paperwork) to charts
Easily bridges with our Dexis xray software
Easy to electronically file claims
Excellent customer service
Constant updates & improvements to the software
The prescription module is great
The colors of Curve, the laid-back & witty Curve staff
The charting and perio charting modules are excellent
Less need for IT company to help (still have to have a server for digital xrays & have to pay them to keep that up-to-date)
Ability to use Mac and PC computers in the office.
Cons
Can't use on an iPad (because of Flash)
When uploading Xrays to the charts, it takes time and the xrays are in a horizontal line (not mounted). We don't use this feature.
We've had trouble with the insurance estimation part--not accurate.
The software doesn't allow us to add in codes for different procedures (we have to use what CDT codes are in)...unless we add it as inventory
Some of the screen views are slow to load
A few times we've clicked out of a chart and lost all of the charted treatment
Overall
We highly recommend Curve to all dental offices. Our situation made the choice easy because we started from scratch and thus didn't have any data conversion. Even though Curve may not have quite as many features as Dentrix yet, I believe that it will be there very quickly because of how quickly the company is changing and updating the program. For me, Cloud practice management systems are the future of dentistry, and I believe that Curve is the best in the Cloud. We would do it again in a heartbeat! Curve provides all that we need in a Practice Management Software.

Pros
The web based alone is a fantastic feature. The fact that dental offices can start small and grow is a huge benefit. The graphics and the features are so outstanding. The software system is so user friendly it almost makes too much sense.
Cons
The only obstacle I see is that most people do not understand web based and there fore they fear it.
Overall
I believe anyone can use Curve Dental. I think it will fit into so many offices. I look forward to watching them grow and wish them nothing but great success!!!

Pros
Web-based design is a new way to work with dental software. It eliminates the need to upgrade the program, no more worries about data backup, meets all HIPAA privacy concerns, eliminates the need to have data protection in place. Software is intuitive and easy to use, support and training are excellent. Monthly subscription is very reasonable and removes the typical high-cost barrier to purchasing dental software.
Cons
Company doesn't have a long track record...yet. Image management is a work in progress but they have made great strides to date.
Overall
Highly recommended. Easy to learn , easy to use, well-thought-out software that eliminates the typical hassles of dental software...all at a rock bottom price. What's not to like?
