Owner Dentist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best option for Cloud practice management" December 4, 2020 5.0 Really good experience with the software. Price is higher than it should be but it is more convenient in the cloud. If it could connect with Dental Intel, I would put it in all my offices. Pros Easy to use. Familiar feel. No need for a server for PMS and x-rays. Cons No option for CBCT backup. Can't be used together with Dental Intel. Default reports sometimes convoluted although you can make custom reports.

Pediatric dentist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Curve was the best decision for my practice!" September 22, 2022 5.0 My overall experience with Curve Dental has been great. I decided 12 years ago to go with the only cloud based software available and never regretted the decision or looked back once. I have shown the system to many new dentists starting up and I always recommend Curve over all the others. Pros Curve Dental has helped make my pediatric practice easy an successful. Cons We have very few problems with Curve. Sometimes there is a glitch with the xrays but it is usually resolved quickly. Review Source AN Angie N. Dr. Used the software for: ### "Curve is perfect for our office" June 23, 2011 5.0 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 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 Review Source GG Gerry G. Dentist Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Pleased Overall" September 12, 2022 5.0 Good. It has made the startup process easier. It has some drawbacks that you have to accept but overall it makes running the practice straightforward. Pros Curve makes claims and billing easy to understand and track. Cons Curve needs to have an integrated in office communication module. Right now our office needs to use a third party like Slack and it is just not efficient. Alternatives considered [Open Dental](https://www.capterra.com/p/122350/Open-Dental/)[CareStack](https://www.capterra.com/p/176206/CareStack/) Reason for choosing Curve Dental Cloud based with a proven track record of happy customers. Review Source nM newman M. Dentist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Curve is our hero!" September 20, 2022 5.0 Pros Allowed our conversion to digital when we went from a peg board system🤣 Cons Can’t think of a thing that is of any significance. Review Source LM Lisa M. office manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Curve" September 19, 2022 4.0 Pros Makes electronic charting easy. Scheduling screen easy to utilize. Cons Interfaces with other practice mangement software add-ons are very limited. Need to open up your platform to other companies for interfaces that will allow us to improve office efficiencies. Reason for choosing Curve Dental Open Dental layout quite confusing Review Source dS david S. OWNER Medical Practice Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "curve opinion" September 13, 2022 1.0 i wish we had never converted over. conversion was not as seamless as told--many features were mis represented Pros the speed at retrieving data and generating reports Cons patient profile---does not list patient employer--a very important feature in this country Switched from [Dentrix](https://www.capterra.com/p/2329/Dentrix/) thought it would be better Review Source Response from Curve Dental September 15, 2022 Thank you for your feedback. We'd be happy to discuss in greater detail to address your concerns. Thank you. YM Yehia M. Dentist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Curve Dental. " September 12, 2022 4.0 Average. A bit frustrating. I am looking to switch to Ascend Pros Cloud based. Cons Too many clicks. Does not consider Drs’ suggestions for improvement. Switched from [Dentrix](https://www.capterra.com/p/2329/Dentrix/) Cloud Review Source EW Elizabeth W. Dentist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good software. Reliable " September 12, 2022 5.0 Good. Pros The convince of using it anywhere. I also like it's user friendliness because my staff is not very tech savvy but they were able to pick it up. Curves customer service is also good when we have a problem, which hasn't been very often. Cons The price. It has increased quite a bit over the 2 years Reason for choosing Curve Dental Cloud based Review Source DS Darryl S. Medical Practice Used the software for: ### "Conceptually cool, extremely poor performance!" May 29, 2014 3.0 Pros It's conceptually cool. Their customer support is responsive, and the software is cloud-based. Cons It doesn't live up the hype. The cloud-based software has stopped working 2-3 times since going live in less than a year. The acquisition of digital X-rays is non-diagnostic. The import of images from old chart software to curve is tedious. Image magnification is limited. Treatment plan implementation is tedious. If you want to give multiple treatment plans, each plan data has to be re-entered, which is a huge waste of time. Charting is incomplete. There's no denture drawing. No implant abutment can be charted. I have a digidocs intraoral camera that was supposedly compatible but can't be utilized in all its functions. I'm unable to post date notes in the event; one doesn't get to document a visit on the day that it occurs. It's wicked expensive, especially since old software has to remain running because of inadequacies with Curve. A new computer monitor was necessary on some stations. The mobile app on iPad and iPhone have been virtually worthless. There's no employee time clock. Hygienists and assistants have to reboot their computers throughout the day in order to take intraoral photos or X-rays. It doesn't list my specialty in Prosthodontics as a specialty! Review Source Response from Curve Dental August 26, 2014 We have recently discovered that the imaging challenges described by this client seem to be limited to Kodak sensors. Curve Dental has an outstanding track record for reliability, innovation, and customer service, backed by more than 3,000 dental professionals managing the oral health records of more than 3,000,000 patients every day. In fact, a customer satisfaction survey conducted in May 2014 indicated 73% of all Curve Dental customers were likely to recommend the software to a colleague. Regardless, at Curve Dental every customer counts. We have taken careful note of this client's feedback and compared it to our current development plan. We will be giving this client a call to discuss further. GM Gol M. Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Manager" September 6, 2022 5.0 Overall good and great consumer service Pros Easy of usage for general things. Easy to train for appointments and reaching other parts of the ledger. Cons Billing ledger and insurance. Not very easy for staff and most staff are not familiar with the software. Review Source Response from Curve Dental September 13, 2022 We saw your feedback. Would you be willing to talk with us in greater detail so we can help? Thanks EP Ernest P. dentist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Curve Dental Software" September 6, 2022 5.0 Excellent Pros Simple to learn and all inclusive of needed features Cons None to date and I have been using this product many years Reason for choosing Curve Dental Cloud based and ease of navigating Review Source AS Andrew S. Dentist Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dentist review " September 6, 2022 5.0 Overall great customer service and easy to use Pros Ease of use with relatively few clicks. Charting is easy, and I find m new employees pick up the program fairly easily. Cons The cost is high for us, especially when we are including Curve gro. Review Source Response from Curve Dental September 13, 2022 If you are interested, we'd like to discuss further your concerns about the price of Curve. Thanks! JD Jeanne D. Office Administrator Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I like the Curve software and what it has to offer. Overall we have been pleased with the product." June 19, 2017 4.0 As stated previously, the ease of use is my favorite feature. It is fairly easy to train new employees and have confidence that they will easily navigate their way through the program. Pros Curve is very easy to use and very user-friendly. Navigating through the program is manageable for even the least computer-savvy person. When we train a new staff member, I never worry about teaching them the program because it is so easy to teach. Cons Our least favorite feature of Curve is the charting module. It does not perform the way we think it should. While we are aware that you can't please all the people all the time, we would prefer to see changes made so that the charting module allows for more customization by the user. Review Source Response from Curve Dental August 2, 2017 Hi, Jeanne! Many thanks for the kind review. Sonshine Dental is one of our favorite customers. Ease of use is a common thread we hear from our customers. We've taken note of your comments about adding some customization capabilities to the chart. That needs a bit of clarification. Hope to see you and your team at the next Orange Summit. Best wishes! SS Shannon S. Office Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "For multiple offices, Curve makes this a dream! " June 13, 2017 4.0 Ease of use having multiple offices. Quick notes are a huge benefit as well as macros for tx planning Pros Curve allows us to work at multiple offices and see changes instantly. We can have multiple tabs open per user being able to click back in forth between different screens. Cons Quality of xrays, we have to use a second software in order for our xrays to do measurements and print with quality for our referring offices. Quick meds is a huge issue for us. We are a surgical office and need to have multiple scripts available, we have to wait 5+ minutes in order to print one script (we usually print 4-5 per pt) after this slows down curve and we have to reload. We print script all day long. Review Source Response from Curve Dental June 13, 2017 Hi, Shannon! Thank you for your positive review. As you noted, practices with multiple locations are much more productive on the cloud with Curve Dental. We'll reach out to you to see if we can improve image quality and explore the Rx issues that you mentioned. Also note that measurements is one of our current projects. Thanks again and best wishes! AL Ashley L. Dental Hygienist Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cloud Based Dental Software " February 27, 2021 5.0 The system is very intuitive and easy to learn. I appreciate that it was a fairly seamless transition from our prior system. Pros Working out of two offices, it is imperative that we have a cloud based system that allows us to access the same patient information in both places. Cons Many of the things I originally did not like about the software have been amended. Curve is good with customer service and open to suggestion so we have been able to customize certain things to facilitate our daily use. Switched from [Dentrix](https://www.capterra.com/p/2329/Dentrix/) We wanted a cloud based system that suited our needs and was affordable. Review Source LD Leah D. Front Desk Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User friendly system with some features to be desired." September 15, 2022 4.0 There are a lot of features that we keep being told have been requested but have taken years to implement and are some are still not done. Pros System is easy to learn and use. Cloud based is great. Cons We have 4 locations on the same system but are separate locations. Cannot select one specific office all the time (ie providers or specific tags) Review Source MT Marilyn T. Admin. Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We are very happy with our first year on Curve!" June 13, 2017 5.0 It saves me so much time during my work day compared to other computer programs I have used in the past! Pros It is so easy to learn and to use! When new employees are hired, it is so easy to show them how to use the system. I use community to find answers to any questions I have and usually can figure out how to do anything! I love how easy it is to customize reports to get the information that I need. We like that the claims go out at various times during the day...it seems like the turn around time for payments is alot faster. We love the ability to customize the sidekick to be able to see what is really important to us at a glance and to have these changes show up right away....instead of having to wait for weeks while a computer guru makes the suggested changes!! It is wonderful. Cons I wish that the account credits would show up in our total accounts receivable amount for 60-90, 120 day totals. Review Source Response from Curve Dental June 13, 2017 Wow, a 5-star review! Thank you, Marilyn, for your feedback. The Sidekick is definitely our secret sauce--it sure does make you more productive by helping you access information faster. We've made note of your wish and will be evaluating. Thanks again!

Increase efficiency in making payments, Scheduling, reminders/recall system Cons Inability for patients to make phone payments through link when sent. And the confusing set up for the patient statements Review Source Response from Curve Dental September 13, 2022 We'd like to help.

Office Manager Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User Friendly" September 12, 2022 5.0 Pros Very user friendly. Easy to learn and navigate Cons Filtering reports can sometimes be difficult Review Source ST Suzanne T. Business manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Curve " December 7, 2020 4.0 I has been a huge learning experience switching from Eaglesoft to Curve. The clinical team experiences the most frustration. I love it for the front office and scheduling ease. Pros We love that we can schedule real time at both locations. Also the our leadership can access the software from home. Cons Curve still has not come up with a way to easily calculate accurate walkout statements for our patients who have PPOs. I also do not like the ticket system. We don't use it, when we have an issue we just call. Reason for choosing Curve Dental Patterson was having some glitches with their program and wasn't ready to launch in our area when we needed it. Review Source CF Colleen F. IT Professional Computer Networking Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy Transition" December 4, 2020 5.0 Overall - this is a GREAT system. Easy to transition and train. You can literally have any report in the world you want and customize patient communication. From a data perspective, fabulous. From a security perspective, fabulous - ditch the daily backups and ransomware scares. If someone steals a computer - they get nothing. If the office burns to the ground - you can call patients from any computer anywhere and reschedule them at a temporary office. Patient data is safe. Pros What I like best about Curve is the smooth transition to the cloud from an in-house server. I am especially fond of the Curve Capture which pulls twain devices in with ease. The system is so easy to use that it requires very little training for new employees. The support team is always ready to help and never makes the employees feel like they are dumb for asking a question. They also answer quickly, so you don't have to wait hours or days for a call-back. Cons I would like to see some improvements in the document cabinet. It doesn't feel as organized as I would like and often, when pulling from other software, the naming convention is not what you would want. We spent some time on clean up and it wasn't too terrible. Reason for choosing Curve Dental Price, training, overall features Switched from [Eaglesoft](https://www.capterra.com/p/60064/EagleSoft-13-00/) Security, cost, data safety, convenience, support.
