We’re Thankful for You: How Curve Users Shaped Our Top Six Enhancements of 2025

In 2025, we didn't just update our platform—we reimagined what a modern dental practice can accomplish with the right technology. Our goal for the year was clear: replace administrative drag with intelligent automation that supports both clinical and operational excellence.

That transformation didn’t happen in isolation. It started with the feedback, experiences, and challenges shared by the practices who use Curve every day. Their insights guided the innovations we delivered—and they continue to shape the experience for every practice considering the move to a unified cloud platform.

As we enter this season of gratitude and reflection, we’re especially thankful for the dental teams who push us to innovate. Their influence led to six major enhancements this year designed to streamline operations, strengthen patient communication, and boost practice profitability—benefits current Curve customers are already experiencing and that prospective customers can expect from day one.

1. Clearer, Faster Team Communication 

Practices told us they needed efficient, HIPAA-compliant ways to stay connected. In response, we launched Curve Chat, enabling teams to collaborate without relying on personal texts or scattered inboxes.

But communication is also about keeping schedules full and predictable. Your feedback led to meaningful Smart Fill refinements, including tools to:

• Engage short-notice patients

• Prioritize high-value treatments

• Fill openings intelligently using CDT codes, treatment type, and status

These upgrades empower teams to protect production with intention—not guesswork.

2. Answers Without Waiting with Ask CurveAI

Even with intuitive software, teams need quick, accurate answers—especially during onboarding, busy days, or staff transitions. That’s why we introduced Ask CurveAI, your 24/7 in-platform assistant.

Ask CurveAI eliminates the need to log support tickets or interrupt co-workers for “how-to” questions. It provides instant, step-by-step guidance to keep your workflows moving smoothly.

3. Less Friction in Insurance Verification with Eligibility+ 

Manual verification has long been a major frustration. Slow portals, inconsistent data, and repetitive checks drain hours from your day.

Those conversations directly shaped the creation of Eligibility+, our AI-powered verification engine that: 

• Pulls real-time, code-level benefits directly from payer portals

• Flags discrepancies automatically between the payer data and the patient's record in Curve via SmartSync

• Updates patient records with a single click

The result is simple: practices can provide accurate out-of-pocket patient estimates before treatment begins, which is an effective way to improve case acceptance while cutting verification time by up to 90%. Practices using Eligibility+ have reported up to a 150% increase in same-day case acceptance, thanks to accurate, point-of-care estimates.

4. A Unified Revenue Workflow — Powered by Curve Pay

Teams shared that managing payments across disconnected terminals and systems created frustration, delays, and extra work. In response, we launched Curve Pay, bringing payment processing inside Curve for a truly unified financial workflow. 

The immediate benefits for practices include next-day payouts, ensuring faster access to funds, and transparent pricing with no hidden fees. Curve Pay offers enhanced flexibility by accepting all major cards and digital wallets, as well as providing Buy Now, Pay Later financing options. Best of all, Curve Pay automates reconciliation, directly saving administrative time that was previously spent on manual double-entry.

5. Loyalty Without Third-Party Dependence — Membership Plans Made Easy

Practices are increasingly exploring ways to reduce reliance on insurance. To support this trend, we formed a strategic partnership with DentalHQ, enabling practices to create and manage in-house patient membership plans directly within Curve.

 This integration will allow practices to seamlessly launch and manage in-house patient membership programs directly within Curve by early 2026. DentalHQ integration streamlines billing, automates recurring payments, and fosters patient loyalty, all without relying on external management software.

6. Smarter Clinical Workflows — Built with Curve FLO AI

Dental teams told us they needed more efficient clinical workflows that take less time and pull less attention away from patient care. In response, we began incorporating new AI capabilities designed to reduce manual effort and support providers more naturally throughout the day. These capabilities work together under Curve FLO AI, our built-in suite of intelligence tools and features designed to support both clinical and operational workflows.

And that foundation is setting the stage for what’s coming next. Among the capabilities in development is Curve’s AI ambient clinical voice capture, which will listen in the background, interpret provider speech, and apply it directly to the patient record. It’s just one of the many clinical AI enhancements we’re building to support providers more naturally in their workflows.

Celebrating Progress… and What Comes Next

The future of dental practice management isn’t about adding more software. It’s about eliminating fragmentation and automating what slows you down. The enhancements we delivered in 2025 reflect our continued commitment to giving practices a unified, cloud-native platform that reduces complexity and strengthens the bottom line.

To our customers: thank you for the insights, partnership, and trust that fuel our innovation.
To practices exploring Curve: these advancements represent what’s possible when your software becomes an extension of your team—not another system to manage.

If you haven’t yet explored these new features, now is the perfect time. And if you know a practice struggling with manual processes, fragmented technology, or unpredictable workflows, encourage them to see how Curve can transform their operations.
