For dental practices
Insurance is the biggest headache in dentistry. I build tools that take the paperwork off your desk.
Small, focused software for independent practices. Each tool fixes one expensive problem, works beside the practice software you already use, and has one fixed price.
55.3%
of dentists named insurance among their top three challenges for 2026, more than any other issue, ahead of staffing.
What I build for dental practices
Insurance payment matching
Matches every insurance deposit to its payment statement and to what is posted in your software, and shows you only what does not line up.
$4,300 one time
Claim pre-check
Checks each claim before it goes out for missing X-rays, notes and plan limits, so fewer come back denied.
$5,000 one time
Unpaid claims follow-up
Turns the unpaid-claims report into a work list: why each claim is stuck, what to do next, and when.
$3,300 one time
Insurance plan decision
Shows what each insurance plan really pays you, and what would happen if you left it.
$2,900 one time
Coverage check sheet
Shows the front desk only the coverage questions that matter for tomorrow's booked procedures.
$3,900 one time
What the research says
I checked each figure against its original source in September 2026. Numbers published by companies that sell these services are marked, because they have a reason to look good.
Insurance is the most-cited challenge for 2026, named by 55.3% of dentists.
Dentists were asked for their top three challenges. The ADA gives low reimbursement and denials as examples. 35% say they plan to drop out of some insurance networks in 2026.

A $1,000 insurance payment by virtual card costs about $20.10 in fees. By direct deposit, about $0.34.
The ADA's own news service, based on typical card fees of 2–3% plus 10 cents per payment.

Questions
Will this replace my practice software?
No. Your practice software stays the record for patients, treatment and billing. These tools read from it and do the one job it does badly.
Which practice software do you work with?
Open Dental offers a direct connection. Dentrix and Eaglesoft limit outside connections, so the tools work from their standard report exports instead. I confirm which applies to you before quoting.
Is patient information safe?
Each tool only uses the information it needs, and I agree how it is handled with every company involved before building. There is no official "HIPAA certification" for software, so be careful with anyone who sells one. We go through your privacy requirements first.
