CEO Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Ease of use" December 22, 2025 5.0 Easy to learn, fast customer service, online videos help also. Love the features and the display windows Pros Easy to learn and use especially with new team members. Very helpful videos and customer service is quick and effective. Cons Some changes that are added to the program don't work for us and we can't alter them or go back to what we had previously Alternatives considered [Dentrix](https://www.capterra.com/p/2329/Dentrix/) Reason for choosing Curve Dental Liked the features , the cost of transferring old system to new was better, there was an organized way to transfer and the training was excellent Switched from [ADSTRA Dental Software](https://www.capterra.com/p/60248/ADSTRA-Dental-Software-Suite/) needed more up to date software able to provide more features Review Source TL Theresa L. Office Manager Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fabulous Software - Curve" August 19, 2025 5.0 Customer Service is OUTSTANDING!! They always are available and very helpful. They listen to your ideas for updates and have updates constantly. Pros Love the ledger and how it is INVOICE based, so you can easily reference what payments go to what treatment. Love how user friendly the system is. Cons charting - wish that you could still have the tabs but have the diagram show all of what is treatment planned. (that is the biggest complaint from the op side) It would also be nice to scan and item one time and add to 2 different accounts vs scanning it separately into both accounts Alternatives considered [Open Dental](https://www.capterra.com/p/122350/Open-Dental/)[Denticon](https://www.capterra.com/p/35009/Denticon/)[Fuse](https://www.capterra.com/p/230855/Fuse-Dental-Practice-Management-Software/) Reason for choosing Curve Dental I felt it met our standards for what we needed. Was more user friendly then the others. Customer Service/Implantation team was more helpful. When doing the demo, Curve was on top with answering questions and having the info I needed/wanted. Switched from [Dentrix](https://www.capterra.com/p/2329/Dentrix/) We wanted something that was cloud based and more user friendly Review Source LR LAURA R. Office Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Make the move and Master the CURVE!" August 21, 2025 5.0 I am a HUGE Fan of CURVE. I am actively recommending to folks on a regular basis. It took a few weeks to retrain the way our team does things, but now the whole office is running smoother. Pros I LOVE LOVE LOVE the fact that everything is in one place. Having the forms auto load into a patient chart saves so much time and reduces errors. Cons I am not a huge fan of the reports, mostly because I am still learning how to create what I want. But once I get what I want and save it, they're great. Alternatives considered [Open Dental](https://www.capterra.com/p/122350/Open-Dental/)[Fuse](https://www.capterra.com/p/230855/Fuse-Dental-Practice-Management-Software/) Reason for choosing Curve Dental OpenDental was like reading a text book. It had no color and was quite complicated. Curve in ENGAGING and VERY user friendly. Fuse simply couldnt compete, you still have to go outside the software for a lot of the things that are built into CURVE. Switched from [MacPractice MD](https://www.capterra.com/p/77177/MacPractice-MD/) MacPractice was becoming obsolete. We were having to go to several other platforms to get patient forms, payment processing, patient communication etc... now it's all in once place. Review Source Response from Curve Dental August 22, 2025 Hi Laura! Thank you for this awesome feedback. We really appreciate you and your team, and are so grateful you trust Curve with your practice workflows. Please know, we have taken the feedback re: reports to heart, and some exciting updates are in the works! Stay tuned for more to come soon :) JP Jessica P. Dental Assistant Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Highly recommend Curve!" August 20, 2025 5.0 Overall, I would absolutely recommend Curve to be used as a system for a dental clinic. Once you have the proper training and get the hang of using the system, it is a great program to use. Pros I like the insurance portion where you can add in any past benefits used and any other notes such as no coverage for certain things. Cons I do not love how viewing the x-rays are set up. I think imagining could use improvement. It would be nice for the images of tooth specific in that area, such as upper right or lower left side. Switched from [Dentrix Enterprise](https://www.capterra.com/p/161566/Dentrix-Enterprise/) Being able to utilize the same system for two different practices. Review Source JB Josh B. Dentist, Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great cloud-based software" August 19, 2025 5.0 Great! I love cloud-based dental software and ease of use of of each module. I've been using Curve for over 10 years and recommend it, especially to start up dental practices and practice with multiple offices. Pros Online scheduling, CurveGRO (patient communication, reminders, texting, etc). UX is user-friendly. Almost no downtime. Cons Practice analytics could be a bit more robust (I think they're working on new features). Insurance estimates are sometimes inaccurate. Review Source Response from Curve Dental August 21, 2025 Thank you for the kind words—and for being with us for 10+ years! We love hearing how well Curve GRO and scheduling are working for your team, and really appreciate your feedback on what you'd like to see in estimates and analytics. One of our account managers will be following up with you directly to look at some possible tweaks to help improve your experience. If you haven’t explored it yet, our new Eligibility+ tool might help—it automates insurance verification at the code level, with AI-powered discrepancy detection. We'll be happy to share more when we connect with you. NW Nelson W. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great patient management software" June 19, 2025 4.0 Good overall. Good and responsive customer support. They're constantly adding new function which is great. Pros Very modern looking and nice interface. Very responsive customer support. Easy to use and train new employees on how to use. Cons Curving Imaging and Gro are lacking in function. Some of the reports are also lacking in function and can be very confusing to use. Mobile access requires subscription to GRO despite the software itself already cloud-based. Switched from [Dentrix](https://www.capterra.com/p/2329/Dentrix/) I purchased a new practice that uses Curve so I just kept it. Review Source TK Tom K. Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Curve Hero" October 4, 2025 5.0 Pros I love using Curve Hero—it makes managing our dental office so much smoother and more organized. The cloud-based system is fast, intuitive, and keeps everything from scheduling to billing perfectly streamlined. Cons Sometimes there are outages and updates that take a while to apply during business hours. Also wish we could filter by individual patient in billing. Review Source KT Karan T. Admin assistant Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Worst software " October 20, 2025 1.0 I wont recommend to anyone to buy this and this happens every other day that software stuck or crashes Pros Ridiculous nothing to like every second day this gets stuck. Take 10 min load the profile. And billing too Cons Nothing to like please focus on tech team instead of marketing. Such a useless software. I wont recommend Switched from [Dentrix](https://www.capterra.com/p/2329/Dentrix/) My mistake i changed it and I really should select maxident instead of this Review Source KM Koe M. Receptionist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Easy/useful" November 15, 2025 5.0 Pros Ease of access. I like that I can look up patient with their phone number. It gives me many opportunities to look up patients chart easily. Cons I like everything about curve. Customer support is very easy and they get back to us quickly. Help us solve issues on timely manner. Review Source Response from Curve Dental December 1, 2025 Thank you so much for your review!

Adminstration Computer & Network Security Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Review for dental curve" November 11, 2024 5.0 Pros I like the service of this curve dental. Cons Curve dental will take the time to provide the opportunity Review Source PA Pamela A. Office Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Curve is OK. " March 28, 2024 4.0 The conversion was awful, as all conversions are. There are several things we expected Curve to have that it turns out, it does not (like a simple time clock program). The training was not great and all remote. Many staff members had a very difficult time with that. The response when calling in for support has been pretty good. Pros It is cloud based and can be accessed from anywhere with an internet or wifi. Cons There are many "options" needed that, hopefully, will be coming. If you print a receipt for a patient (they need for FSA or HSA) the tooth number does not print on the receipt. This has been an issue for several patients. Statements are not easy to process. The reports are unimpressive.

Switched from [Eaglesoft](https://www.capterra.com/p/60064/EagleSoft-13-00/) We have two offices and we needed to be able to access the info from both offices. Review Source SD Shannon D. Owner Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Customer Service is Slow if you have Billing Questions" February 6, 2023 4.0 I've realized cost savings with Curve but they still have some kinks to work out. If you aren't from the USA, definitely keep an eye on your billing and make sure you aren't being billed in US dollars and CALL IN new credit card numbers. Pros Cost is reasonable which was a big one for me, setup is easy and it's easy for staff to learn how to use Curve. Cons It's impossible to reach the billing department. If you call (and it's not a product demo or purchase) you get directed to leave a voicemail and in my experience I didn't get a response for 24 hours (but suddenly did after saying I'd be writing about my experience on social media). If you update your credit card online, you are automatically charged in US dollars. Apparently, Canadians are supposed to read some small print somewhere that says "Canadians must call to update expired credit card numbers". I missed the small print and was paying in US dollars for months before noticing the fee was up $200/month with the exchange. I find it hard to believe that a software developer cannot come up with a better solution where there are different ikons to click for customers of different countries to update their credit card number. It takes so long to get through to the billing department that calling is definitely an annoying issue. Curve needs more folder functionality; if you see patients for several years you end up with a long list of letters for anything you scan in such as insurance responses, estimates you have provided, patient medical history, etc. It really adds up after a few years and becomes difficult to locate amongst hundreds of letters. Also when your internet server goes down or Curve goes down you are in trouble because you have no way of seeing your notes or the medical history of your patients. Reason for choosing Curve Dental TDO is costly to buy initially and I just didn't have the extra money at the start of opening a new practice. Review Source AW Adriane W. Office Manager Medical Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Better than what we had in some ways but still could use some work to make things easier for users." September 7, 2022 4.0 Overall i'm ok with the program but still very upset at how much our data is messed up after the conversion and I don't feel like it's getting fixed. I keep getting things for us to do a "work around" but we don't have time to fix over 3k patient files. The conversion was awful. Pros The sidekick is great to see with the schedule. Cons Too much to type, but i don't like the way the claims are done the most. Reason for choosing Curve Dental Looked user friendly, and I thought it would automate more for me. It didn't but it is easy to use. Review Source Response from Curve Dental September 13, 2022 Would you be willing to have a further conversation about your concerns? Thanks. KJ Kelvin J. Dentist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A Hopeful Future" September 6, 2022 3.0 Pros The software is very modern and sleek. It is much better than serve based programs, and the stability is much better. Also, not having to worry about a server has been great. Treatment planning on it is great and most aspects for clinicians is great. While not perfect, the constant updates are great. Cons The details is where this software needs to improve. There is a lack of true Dental Practice Management. There are some pie graphs and bar graphs, but the metrics are useless because they don't really link to anything and the whole interface is a bit confusing. I think Curve can really make a difference by integrating information that a program like Dental Intel provides. Other aspects of the program still seems like work in progress. I wish there was more support for Fee for Service offices. Also, please allow iPads to have full access to the site instead of the watered down mobile version. Or release an iPad app! Review Source DP Dave P. Office Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Do not convert to Curve from Dentrix" October 20, 2021 1.0 Curve is a nightmare if you are converting from Dentrix. Sending claims is a joke and we're basically using 2 softwares and doing double the work because SO MUCH data doesn't convert. If you want to manually enter in data for thousands of patients, then maybe you would enjoy it. They over promise and under deliver on all sides. We hate this software. Buyer beware! You will be paying double, because you will need to reference both. If you are starting a scratch practice is the only time I would even use Curve. Every problem we have, they just say we have to deal with...they don't even have the solutions. I'm surprised as many people use this software as they claim do. Also, our representatives don't call the doctor back when she has a need. Pros It was modern and seemed like it would be easier to use. Cons They don't convert enough of the data. You will still need access to everything in your previous practice management software, so you will probably end up paying for two services and not just one. Review Source Response from Curve Dental October 29, 2021 We appreciate your response and understand your concerns. Our goal is to be transparent with what does not convert to Curve. Sometimes those things that do not convert are tough hurdles to overcome. We can connect with you to discuss action plans and best practices for transition to Curve Dental. FL Fredrick L. Dentist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Preventing the 50K Mistake" December 1, 2016 5.0 Each computer in the office is independent and isolated. They're "off the shelf" units and were purchased from Dell at extraordinarily reasonable amounts. No server, no contracted computer geek, no surprises. Most importantly, no added monthly maintenance fees. The support from Curve has been fabulous. What's the worst that can happen? Well, the system has gone down.....wow....we kept doing dentistry. The internet failed (U-verse fiber optic).... wow ....we kept doing dentistry. There are a tremendous amount of people connected to Curve and AT&T. These companies will be doing everything humanly possible to get back up and running. It's their livelihoods. If (when) your server is hacked (oh, that couldn't happen to me! ..... yeah...think again) or when it fails the office geek has to repair or replace it. The time just starts to fly. So do the dollars. Your time is not the technicians time. Bottom line: the software delivers all the needed features necessary to run a contemporary dental practice. It provides the necessary metrics easily. The folks at Curve are responsive to their customers needs and seem to be in a constant upgrade mode. If it's not yet available from them, they report that it is something they're thinking about. They deliver on those promises. Financially, hardware is stock and minimalist. It can also be as advanced as available but the software works on it all. It integrates easily with all my digital add ons. Monthly fees are reasonable when compared to the other products available. Most of all, the cost is cheaper then the monthly maintenance fees for the "big time all encompassing " software packages and the original outlay of 20+k for the software isn't necessary. Every member of the team finds their own shortcuts/ techniques to move through the software. We had a very small learning curve at implementation and new employees grab it almost immediately. The upgrade I await is the access to all of the patient records from my mobile devices. Currently I can access the schedule and patient information only. I look forward to being able to make appointments directly from my phone. I recommend this system constantly. I've not been disappointed at any time since implementation three years ago. Pros Ease of integration and ease of use Cons Inability to access the actual product from my mobile devices. I want to be able to interact with the entire product from my mobile devices(iPad, iPhone) Review Source Response from Curve Dental December 5, 2016 A thousand thank-you's for your kind review, Dr. Lurie! We've noted your suggestions. Many of our customers see a savings in IT and HW costs, as you have. Best wishes! HJ Holly J.

Pros The customer service is outstanding. When the dental team has a question on a certain topic, they go to the Curve Community and easily look up the topic. The instructions are easy to understand step by step directions. We also love that this software is cloud-based. We travel throughout SE Minnesota into school-based dental clinics. This software allows us to access patient charts no matter where we are located in our outreach progra. Cons We have not had any issues with Curve Dental. Review Source EA Elwood A. Dentist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Can be used anywhere." April 19, 2022 3.0 I started my practice with Curve Dental and sure there have been issues but overall, they have been a benefit to the running of the practice. I have had staff say it is the easiest software to use. Pros I like the fact that it is cloud based so can be accessed anywhere you have internet and Chrome and is automatically backed up. Tech support are very helpful. Cons I do not like the charting as it is very basic and you can not tell the difference in material of restorations. Getting reports can be a challenge and often takes tech support to get what is needed.

Pros Curve dental is very user friendly, easy to learn to use different features. Cons The imaging features are very limited. Hopefully they make improvements.

Office Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Be Cautious" November 17, 2022 4.0 I would be cautious if you don't have a bunch of dental background and the billing could cause you to lose patients like it has for us. We took over the office and it had not run correctly so we inherited the billing mess. Curve was not able to help us decipher what had been entered or why. So ultimately we were not pleased with the software. Pros The ability to see on the cloud and have multiple locations was really an amazing software. Ease of clicking and customizing everything was great. Customer service was amazing and they always answered. Cons Cost was very high and they charged for everything on top of the monthly fee if you needed to add a Dr. to the practice and have an extra user there was a cost. This software seemed like a baby in comparison with other dental software and was advanced technically (cloud and clicking to customize was very modern) but not when it came to how it needed to be used in the managemnet prospective and reports it seemed to lack development. Billing was so confusing with the invoice options and was impossible to give a a good quote and collect correctly. Reason for choosing Curve Dental Cloud ability.Multiple offices.

Pros Curve provides great resources to aid in training new employees. We are also able to seamlessly manage any patient record from multiple locations. Cons Digital sensor integration needs improvement. It seems every day we are struggling with our sensors talking to Curve Hero! Switched from [Eaglesoft](https://www.capterra.com/p/60064/EagleSoft-13-00/) We needed one database to serve our multiple locations. Review Source HT Heather T. Practice Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Absolutely love Curve!" September 6, 2022 5.0 I love the reports that Curve has readily available whenever we want to look at something. They also have a lot of charts available to see the practice at a glance. Pros We love that Curve has the capability to do most everything we need for our dental practice! Messaging to patients, online payments, scheduling, claims, insurance verification, etc. They also make it very easy to talk to an actual person when and if you need them along the way. Cons There are a couple of items that we have submitted as suggestions to Curve (which they tend to implement tickets along the way). These include the option to create forms in other languages, specifically Spanish as our patient base does include Spanish speaking patients. Also, Curve needs the function to create CMS-1500 forms to send to medical insurance as we currently use an outside software for this. Review Source ES Edward S. President/Owner Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Three dental offices" April 14, 2019 5.0 Excellent. Curve is the best of the cloud. And the cloud is way better than any VPN type system and far superior to use and maintain and manipulate and backup than any internal network would be. As simple as a high speed internet connection, an unmanaged gigabyte switch and internet connections. Wireless works too, I just like the speed of most of the workstations in the operatories wired in. Less load on a wireless router in a big office. Curve took us through conversion from Dentrix, training of the staff and the practice manager and has been there through our inexperienced moments. The doctors didn't even train and they picked it right up. The software improves over time for the better and it was great to begin with.Curve Hero has been a great decision. I couldn't be happier. Pros Intuitive. Written with the end user in mind. The trusty "Sidekick" feature (get it? Hero...) on the right of the screen let's you quickly work through a patient. Once I was used to seeing between two offices from any location I was frustrated the third wasn't online yet. I could never go back. The combination of cloud management, lack of internal Network IT needs (an internet connection, Google Chrome, and Adobe Reader and Flash and you're there) and the user friendliness and cuteness of the software and I'm hooked. No bridge between most digital x-ray formats. We're using Scan-X and looking to upgrade to Plan Mecas CBCT ProMax Classic at all three locations. Cons There is a lag during the prescription writing portion of the "program." You have to wait a bit before it starts to respond. After that... Zoom. Also, if you need a new image taken you need to refresh charting and then go back to images. Sometimes, it doesn't like to let me modify images gamma, light, dark, inspect/zoom in. None of these are huge difficulties. I would not change companies. Review Source AC Ashley C. Office Manager Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love Curve - even with its quirks!" September 6, 2022 5.0 Pros Curve is really user friendly. Their support team is helpful and they take suggestions into account. Cons I would like to have a notes function that is specific to certain aspects of the patient's chart - such as billing or appointment notes (i.e. patient can come in earlier). These notes are not related to clinical care, so I'd like to have them in a separate place than the clinical notes. Review Source Talk to a Capterra advisor for free and get results within 15 minutes.
