RDH Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best Dental Software" December 5, 2020 5.0 My overall experience has been excellent and easy Pros Ease of use, ease of set up, ease of access, ease of communication with support & its visually aesthetic when i show my patients things on the screen. Cons That I cannot have more than one thing open at a time Alternatives considered [Dovetail](https://www.capterra.com/p/174077/Dovetail/)[ClearDent](https://www.capterra.com/p/60053/ClearDent/) Reason for choosing Curve Dental It was easy, and compatible and something I felt comfortable showing my patients Switched from [ClearDent](https://www.capterra.com/p/60053/ClearDent/) Opened my own office and I wanted something better Review Source JC Jeff C. Lord/master Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Staff is super nice, there is definitely a learning curve and the software is improving over time." June 13, 2017 4.0 Pros Cloud based, security, access to everything when I need it, electronic prescriptions, etc. The interface is generally pretty and I will say the support is good. Cons I appreciate the new developments, but they don't seem focused on the most commonly used features. The Kiosk is "neat" but I'd rather be able to see some of the specifics from the "home" or appointment screen. There is less customizability than I realized. The team is, in fairness, responsive to requests, but mine haven't made the cut yet. I get that lots of people have lots of ideas, and they are trying to expand the product. I just don't use some of the features they are putting time into at this point. Review Source Response from Curve Dental June 13, 2017 Thanks, Jeff, for the review, comments and suggestions. We are bit confused by your queue and cancellations comment so we'll be in touch to make sure we understand. And many apologies for not meeting your expectations with regard to our service availability. We feel a bit differently about that, as you might guess. Currently, our uptime performance is 99.96% As far as we're aware, Curve Dental is the only cloud-based dental software that publishes our performance numbers (www.curvedental.com/status). You have to wonder why. Regardless, we've not met your expectations and we'll continue to improve upon our numbers. Thanks again! CW Cody W. Dentist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "We love Curve!" September 15, 2022 5.0 We use it for all aspects of our practice Pros The software is very user friendly. Very simple and easy to use. Cons We would like to be able to add X-rays patient’s send into the imaging section of the chart. Review Source TW Tyler W. Dentist/CEO Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to implement, very intuitive to use." June 13, 2017 5.0 Quick, easy, detailed. Pros New and existing employees pick up on using it quickly. Navigates easily and is very reliable. Everyone at my office loves it! It's easy to login remotely as well. Cons Limited report functionality. More patient friendly videos and education needed. More patient friendly treatment plan format needed. Review Source Response from Curve Dental June 13, 2017 Thanks, Dr. Williams, for your positive review. Simplicity is a hallmark of Curve Dental and often mentioned in other reviews. New and powerful reporting functionality will be added to Curve Dental very soon, which should provide you with all the reporting functionality you will ever need. We'also taken note of your other comments and will contact you if we need clarification and input. Thanks again for your kind words! AA Alaa A. CAD CAM Designer Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fantastic solution for managing dentist operations" August 30, 2023 5.0 I recommend using this type of software to save time and money. Pros automats the dentist operation in a very smooth way and avoid all scheduling problem safe time and money, and less headache Cons works on a cloud base, so there is the possibility to disconnect and stop all operations. so it should have an on-premise copy. Review Source CW Chad W. Office Manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great overall" June 13, 2017 5.0 Pros Overall ease of use and customer service is excellent. Always have issue resolved quickly when needed. Cons Too long to roll out the Analytics Dashboard as have know about for some time. Took awhile to improve Forms/Storyline. Review Source Response from Curve Dental June 13, 2017 Wow, Chad--a 5-star review. Thanks! Forgive us for speaking too soon, perhaps, about our new analytics. It's hard not to talk about what's coming. Two things to talk about here: 1)Curve Playbook is a customizable dashboard that will juice up your morning huddles; and 2)Analytics will give you significantly more horsepower when it comes to reporting. Both features will be included in your current subscription. If your practice needs advanced analytics--for a group practice, as an example--there would be an additional charge. Our online forms did take longer to complete than we wished, but, wow! You have to admit the new features are impressive. Regardless, your comment is noted... we need to pick up the pace! Best wishes! PS Phyllis S. receptionist Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "We switched to Curve Hero several years ago and have been glad we did!" June 13, 2017 5.0 Very user-friendly software. Pros We love the versatility that this cloud-based software has given us. It truly is mobile! We also appreciate the progressiveness of the company. They are constantly trying to improve this wonderful product. Most recently, we have started to use "Forms" to allow our patients to pre-register before their appointments. Cons The only thing I can think of about CurveHero that we struggle with is the format for the date of birth. Review Source Response from Curve Dental June 13, 2017 Hi, Phyllis! Many thanks for your 5-star review and kind words. Our online forms will let you onboard new patients in seconds rather than minutes. If you need assistance in getting started, please call us. Again, many thanks! TG Tracy G. Office Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great product- they are improving everyday" June 13, 2017 4.0 Being able to access it from everywhere! Pros I love the ease of using Curve - very user friendly. When we had a new employee start it did not take her long to be able to pick it up. Cons I really dislike the reports- I struggle with not having the options and selections that i did with softdent. Review Source Response from Curve Dental June 13, 2017 Many thanks, Tracy, for your positive review. Curve Dental is designed to provide a very enjoyable user experience, as you've noted: It's very easy to learn and use. With regard to reporting, we find that your frustration can be eased with additional training at times. We'll reach out to see if that's the case. Additionally, with the new analytics we're currently working on you'll be quite impressed. Thanks again and many happy smiles to you! JW Jon W.

New employees grasp it very quickly. The lackof backups and updates is also a giant positive. Cons I have complained about the lack of x-rays being automated within the recare system since the day I started. I don't think you even care about this complaint anymore Review Source Response from Curve Dental August 2, 2017 Thank you, Dr. Wheeler, for the kind words and positive review! Not having to worry about data security or hassle with upgrades is a huge plus, like you say. We are very much aware of the recare feature you'd like to see. We've been looking at where it fits on our task list. Hopefully we can knock off some other priorities and get to it soon. Thanks again and best wishes to you and your practice. Hope to see you at the Orange Summit, again! LV Louise V. Office manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best dental software that I have used!" December 5, 2020 4.0 Easy to learn and great to work with! Pros I have worked on various software in my career and they have pros and cons. Curve is the first software that ranks highest in productivity, clarity and customer support. I would highly recommend it. Cons I really do nor have any cons for this software. The booking and treatment planning is well laid out, the ledger is very straightforward and the reports can be produced for any information required. Review Source TB Thomas B. Owner,dentist. Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Curve has been, for the most part, easy to use, intuitive, and effective. " June 7, 2017 4.0 Pros Ease of use, intuitive , constantly improving, customer service, accessible from anywhere, layout is clean. Cons Mobile version is very limited, constant bugs that interfere with use, improvements that were suggested did not manifest or took a long time to take effect. Review Source Response from Curve Dental June 8, 2017 Hi, Dr. Bae! Many thanks for your kind review. You are absolutely right: Our mobile version is due for some attention. As you know, right now you can view your schedule and patient contact information. We have plans to greatly expand that functionality and may ask for your input when the time comes. You have always been a source of great support of our efforts for several years and we greatly appreciate it. Wishing you and your practice only the very best! DVS Dr Vilas S. Ceo Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I suffered with Pworks for years with server crashes etc. Good living on the cloud with curve now." June 13, 2017 5.0 Cant even begin to describe the impact curve has had on my practice and the way in which we operate as a business Pros Cloud based, access anywhere anytime, scalability is instant. No fees for new users . With other companies it seemed like you were being punished for growing, with curve it's celebrated. Real team players who play on your side versus just about any other company I've seen in the dental space. Cons When the internet crashes, (not curve) you are down, I believe a cache update for this is coming soon though Review Source Response from Curve Dental June 13, 2017 Wow! Thank you, Dr. Sasty, for your comments--they are much appreciated. Yes, a cache update is in the works. Thank you for you support and best wishes to Aces Dental! WS Weston S. Owner Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best Tool for the Modern Practice" December 1, 2016 5.0 Originally purchased curve to avoid needing a server in my office. I was excited to use the odontogram. Overall experience has been excellent. Very proud to be a Curve user and tell colleagues to try it. Best functions include; Custom Forms, Easy Treatment Planning, Transitions from back to the front office, Customer Support is AMAZING. Good functions include customizable reports but needs support often to create exactly what you are looking for. Areas still improving include some buggy responses on odontogram, imaging module sometimes runs slow. Pros Shared this on the previous page Review Source Response from Curve Dental December 5, 2016 Thank you, Dr. Spencer, for your review and your feedback. We're adding dashboards and custom reporting to our broad mix of features soon. We think you'll find those pretty cool. Best wishes! TV Teresa V. Office Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Cloud Advantage" December 4, 2020 3.0 The training modules are good. More videos would be helpful for the community, less text. It is has been difficult to explain invoices, insurance, deposits, etc. This is somehthing I know you are working on. Pros I can work remotely without any problem. It is very easy to navigate off-site for after hours and pandemics! Cons The screens could be consolidate so you don't have to go to another screen for additional information on the same patient. Reason for choosing Curve Dental No onsite server Review Source ET Eric T. Dentist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to navigate" December 4, 2020 5.0 Great software, will continue to use for all existing and new practices and will recommend to colleagues as well. Pros User friendly software with high functionality Cons Insurance and billing applicability to Canadian users Switched from [Maxident](https://www.capterra.com/p/67650/Maxident/) Price and ease of use Review Source MD Mary D. Office Manager/receptionist Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great experience" December 13, 2016 5.0 For the most part, we are happy with our experience with Curve. However, there are a few issues that haven't been addressed because we are in Canada and are awaiting some government approval. That is frustrating for us as one of the big reasons for choosing Curve initially is because we thought it was a Canadian company that would be able to keep thing current and advancing at all times. Pros The fact that it is cloud-based. Cons The lack of improvements because awaiting Canadian government approval. Review Source Response from Curve Dental March 10, 2017 Mary, thank you for your kind review. We are completing ISO certification, as required by Health Canada, and will then be able to provide the imaging services you're looking for. It's a big job but we'll be done soon. Thank you for your patience. LH Leesa H. office manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy and efficient software to use" June 13, 2017 5.0 Cloud based-can pull it up at home. Ease of training new employees. I love the treatment planning as well. Pros I love that it is easy to use. It's easy to train new employees without much trouble. I love that you have training webinars on anything new. Also, officially orange and community is great! Cons It "freezes up" sometimes. Also, It does not always show secure. Many times I will look and see that the "lock" is not there. Review Source Response from Curve Dental June 13, 2017 Thank you, Leesa, for your 5-star review! Wow! We are concerned about your comments on freezing up and missing lock icon, which is obviously not normal. We'll be contacting you soon to investigate further. Again, thank you for your kind words. DW D W. Office Manager Used the software for: ### "Constant "upgrades" costing you money!!!" February 18, 2015 2.0 Curve could be a great software if they stopped "updating" their software, which has caused numerous problems including, & not limited to: scanning documents, screen resolution, and ease of use. Initially, I was very impressed with Curve, they seemed to go above and beyond the call of duty in getting the conversion that we needed. As time went by, there started to be issues with ease of use as they frequently updated their system. In 2013, they changed the way that the screen resolution behaved, making the screens that were okay'd by the company, no longer user friendly, causing multiple problems with the way the system behaved... Their solution was that we had to buy new screens and there was nothing they could do about it. Recently, they changed the way that you upload files into their database. What was just a one step process has now become three... The scanner that I purchased for our practice was more than adequate to their guidelines according to Curve before the transition. The company's response is to buy new scanners. There wasn't any communication with us regarding this, prior to, or after this "update"... It wasn't until it didn't work at all that I had to call and find out what the issue was. Review Source Response from Curve Dental November 14, 2016 Not cool, for sure, and we apologize. We are constantly making changes to the software, as you said, to incorporate requests from our customers, to make sure our software stays relevant with newer hardware... It is unusual for one of our customers to find that new enhancements are no longer compatible with some hardware. Usually, that happens with older hardware, but on occasion the connection is lost. You can also imagine that with so many different models of scanners and monitors it's a challenge to get it right every time. But we'll keep trying! Thank you for your feedback. We hope all is well with your practice! DR Douglas R. Dentist Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ala carte fees add up in a hurry" June 13, 2017 4.0 I am not sure if this software is as user friendly as dentrix or softdent Pros cloud based, nice graphics, decent reports, resonable phone support. I also like that the updates are done automatically Cons expensive....thought I would not need a server but I like my imaging software better than Curve. In the perio charting pockets of 5mm or more should be plotted in RED Review Source Response from Curve Dental June 13, 2017 Hi, Dr. Rolfe! Thank you for the positive review. We are aware of the need for some practices to see pocket depths of 5mm or more appear in red. Sorry to hear that you're still stuck to a server for imaging reasons. If you've not looked at our native imaging features for quite some time, please do. Best wishes! KR Karen R. Dental Office Manager Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "User friendly and always adding and improving features." December 7, 2016 5.0 There are so many great features, and great tutorials on how to use them. If you need help they are there for you in minutes. If you ask them to add a feature, they take it seriously and do the research and usually add it. Its nice to be able to run reports on just about anything. Compatible with most add-on services too. Pros Features and ease of use. Cons Would like to able to print more screens and jump to charting from the sidekick treatment plans. Review Source Response from Curve Dental March 10, 2017 As the office manager at Rogers City Dental, Karen, no one knows better than you that Curve Dental makes your job a bit easier. Your suggestion about being able to jump from Tx plans in the Sidekick to the Chart is noted. Thank you for your support and best wishes! JM Jill M. Used the software for: ### "Office Manager" December 1, 2016 3.0 The number one feature of Curve that I appreciate the most is that fact that it is cloud-based and has saved our office money and the hassle of maintaining and servicing an onsite server. Yet, the cloud-based product is also a downfall, as we are on the internet and Curve's mercy when there is an issue or outage. There are quirky things that happen with this live cloud base program, that I feel makes our office vulnerable to issues, lost appointments, information, letters..etc, that a server based program does not allow. (I find this with Quick Books cloud program also. ) The ease of use and features and functionality, I would say is 3 1/2 stars, the overall concept is very simple and user-friendly, however, I feel there is room for improvement especially in the billing area. We have enjoyed being a Beta office for forms and would welcome the opportunity to be a Beta office in the future. Your strongest asset is your customer service. They all are great! They are concerned and focused on helping us achieve our daily functions without interruption, and work hard to help us customize our system to fit our office needs. (Thank You) Your customer service has helped our office maintain confidence in Curve, as you evolve it to new heights. I do worry about a lost or vulnerability of our office information. I would appreciate updates re :your security and backup procedures on a quarterly basis , for my own peace of mind. As a society we are bombarded with news of security breaches and cyber crime, this messes with me as the office gate keeper. Review Source Response from Curve Dental December 5, 2016 Hi, Jill! Thank you for the feedback. We are currently working on the billing portion of Curve Dental and you're sure to like the changes we're making. Easy of use and data security are two of our hallmark advantages. Best wishes to you and your practice! SS Stacy S. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Good for small businesses " April 20, 2022 4.0 Pros For the most part the GUI is easy to work with . Drag and drop works well. Cons There should be a document preview added under files. Also, adding payments at same time as posting billing would be nice. Review Source CP Charo P. Regional Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Super Hero" November 9, 2016 5.0 Easy to use, super hero team @curve hero. Great seminars,webinars and trainings.
