About DentalCanvas

Built by dental teams,
for dental teams

We got tired of watching practices pay hundreds per month for dashboards that send their data to the cloud. So we built something better.

Our Story

Open Dental deserved a better dashboard

Open Dental is the most powerful practice management system in dentistry. But its reporting tools haven't kept up with how modern practices actually operate.

We saw office managers spending 45 minutes every morning pulling reports from three different screens. Billing coordinators toggling between spreadsheets and the claims module. Practice owners paying $500/month for cloud analytics that uploaded their patient data to someone else's server.

DentalCanvas was born from a simple idea: the data is already in Open Dental. Read it through the official API and present it in a way that actually helps you run your practice. No cloud uploads. No data leaving your network.

Our Mission
Give every Open Dental practice the analytics, workflows, and training tools they need, without sending a single byte of patient data off their network.

We believe practice data belongs to the practice. DentalCanvas connects read-only through the official Open Dental API, runs entirely on your local network, and its lifetime license costs less than a single month of some cloud competitors.

What We Stand For

Principles that guide every feature

01

Data stays local

Your patient data never leaves your network. DentalCanvas reads from Open Dental through the official API and serves your workstations over encrypted LAN HTTPS. No cloud sync, no external servers, no third-party data processing.

02

Read-only by design

DentalCanvas cannot modify, delete, or overwrite anything in Open Dental. It talks to Open Dental only through the official API, using read-only access. Your data integrity is never at risk.

03

Own it if you want to

Pick a monthly plan, or buy the $649 lifetime license once and use it forever. No per-seat fees either way: one license covers every computer in the office. Free updates included.

04

Built for Open Dental

We don't try to be everything for every PMS. DentalCanvas is purpose-built for Open Dental, with compatibility from version 18 through 26 and automatic adaptation to schema differences between versions.

Our Team

Dental industry meets software engineering

Our team combines deep dental practice operations experience with modern software engineering. We've sat in morning huddles, wrestled with insurance aging reports, and watched front desk teams toggle between six screens to answer a single patient question.

That real-world experience drives every feature in DentalCanvas. We don't build features in a vacuum. We build what dental teams actually need, in the language they actually speak.
