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 :) 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 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. 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 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 AL Abby L. Administrative Coordinator Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Curve for the win! " March 5, 2025 5.0 Pros Our busy dental office loves how easy it is to manage our patient schedule on Curve. It is super easy to use and navigate - even for team members that may not be as "tech savvy". We love having everything we need integrated into one software. Cons No dislikes with Curve Dental. 10/10 recommend. 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 DG Dawn G. Operations Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Highly Recommend" September 12, 2022 4.0 We have increased production and decreased AR due to the ease of reporting which allows us to manage patient care so effectively. Pros Curve is a fantastic software for multi location practices!! Makes the management of all locations so easy and daily, weekly and monthly reporting is streamlined Cons It would be great if they would continue to work toward making it more Pedo/ortho friendly. Having the option of “mother” “father” instead of just contact or patient would be fantastic. Reports need to be tweaked to not consider our parents active patients. Payment plan option would be great. We would have used the software for both our Pedo and ortho practices but at the very least you need the ability to set up payment plans for ortho contracts which is not offered therefore we have to run on two separate softwares. One for Pedo and one for ortho. Non -ideal.

Dentis Review Source 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 GR Gwen R. front desk Medical Practice Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Okay" September 15, 2022 3.0 Everyone involved with the sale, training, and set-up was great. There've been a couple times where one of us has called Curve for help and the Curve person seemed impatient or frustrated with what are probably dumb questions. I do feel that \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] and I are going to have to make time to sit with someone and have them walk through some EOBs/billing with us so we can get a better understanding. The training & homework went well, but it's hard to understand what you're learning until you're actually in it. Pros I loved the potential of it. I think Curve will be amazing after a couple more years of development. We were initially excited about the patient portal and online payments. Cons I think I've said it enough. We haven't been able to start on using the portal and payments because we are struggling so hard with billing. And maybe we're just not clicking and understanding the billing module. Either way, it's been a very long learning process. Not frustrated enough to quit Curve, but I wish we had a better grip of things. Review Source Response from Curve Dental September 16, 2022 Thank you for your comments. We would be happy to discuss your concerns in greater detail. Please don't hesitate to contact me. 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. AZ April Z.

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 BG Brian G. Dentist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good software, but Beware the dishonest billing practices" September 6, 2022 1.0 Pros The software itself is great. The billing practices and management are sketchy.... Cons I like curve, and the representatives I've talked to through implementation and occasional tech support have always been helpful and friendly. The big however came this year when Curve decided to increase the amount they charge me mid-contract with ~3 wks notice. The terms of my auto renewing yearly contract require me to give Curve a lengthy non-renewal notice in advance of the anniversary date if I decide to switch. Curve, however, seems to think it's ethical and acceptable to change my price in the middle of a contract period with nowhere near enough notice to make a change on the scale of switching practice management software. As the owner of my office I understand the challenges of inflation quite well and would have been perfectly happy with the price increase IF it was done with reasonable notice and at the anniversary date. Changing price in the middle of a contract with very little warning, however, is a bushleague tactic of companies to be avoided. I still use Curve, and I may not even decide it's worth my time and effort to switch when my next yearly contract is up, but I will never recommend them or trust them again.

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.

Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not pleased. " August 23, 2016 2.0 I have been using this software since 2012. It has been a struggle. The reports are very sub-par. I have two offices and spend a lot of money with these guys but that does not get me any sort of special treatment. Just to give you an idea of how bad the reports are...there is no report to indicate the number of new patients per month. The closest you can get is new patients "created" but this would include no-shows. I asked for a special custom report to be made for my uses with NP's, referral sources, production from referral .....DENIED. They said more or less "maybe they would get to that at some point in the future....thanks for the suggestion". If I could easily switch I would do it, but it is not I won't even get started on how often their servers go down. Pros It's prettier than most software. Cons \-Reports are a joke (and reports are the life-blood of a good practice management software) -Servers go down a lot -If you lose your internet you are also out of luck -Customer service is slow and not helpful -They nickel and dime you for add on's. Bridge to xray software...$$; E-prescribe....$$$, store x-rays....$$$$$ Review Source Response from Curve Dental August 25, 2016 Hi, Dr. Mapes! We¿re sorry we failed to meet your expectations. But that means we¿re going to try harder. For example, our reports can be customized to show nearly any data. That you did not find what you wanted means we need to look at the interface and training. Specific to a NP report showing referral sources and production from referrals: We can do that, but obviously we can make it easier to get this information. Curve Dental is the only cloud dental software that publishes performance on its website (www.curvedental.com/status). Our uptime number is 99.99%, which means our service is nearly always available. You think otherwise, so we need to work on that remaining .01%. We were surprised by your customer service comments. In an independent survey, 70% of our customers said our service is better. We¿ll continue to improve until that number is 100%. Were we disheartened by your review? Absolutely. Are we going to give up on you? Never! Thank you for your comments and best wishes! 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 KT Kaytlin T. Office Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and Customer Service is top notch" September 15, 2022 5.0 Pros The software itself is user friendly and easy to navigate, and any issue we've ever had is solved within a day. The addition of Curve GRO has been a life saver as we were having to double notate everything in correspondence with our old program. The ability to edit and create different reports has helped so much in terms of business analysis and patient management. Cons I do wish there was a way to make certain fields of patient forms "Required" and that the self scheduling could be pulled from a block of rooms rather than one room as we often overlap and forget to block off the room it pulls from. 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 CB Craig B. Dentist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Happy we switched to Curve" September 20, 2022 5.0 Pros Charting, patient communication, and reporting are outstanding. Also very happy I can access patient charts, xrays, and reports from my phone any time, anywhere. Cons The transition with billing and accounts receivable were difficult. Getting the insurance billing mastered took some time which caused a lag in insurance reimbursement. Prepare financially before making the switch!

Dentist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Modern, intuitive, functional, always available anywhere" December 4, 2020 5.0 It's our day to day dental office operations software and we use it for everything. It sends letters and reminder emails and texts and it schedules Patients. It records everything related to treatment, x-rays, pictures, notes, charting, perio charting and is our way taking care of our Patients and our office. It replaced old Dentrix and Demandforce for us Pros It looks like a software that was designed today, as opposed to most dental software that looks like Windows 95! It is clean, easy to use, functional and it actually makes sense. Very helpful in day to day dental office operations, simple interface with everything you need right in front of you. Always available everywhere you can open a Chrome browser. Cons You have to change your mind set if you are used with other clunky software, this one is really easy to use. It's hard to believe things are so easy to do at the beginning. Recently they updated the user roles and permissions and they are confusing now. Also the transition from Dentrix was smooth, got the x-rays and pictures but it didn't transfer the files, we had to copy those manually as Patients had appointments.
