Can Curve convert our Dentrix data and X-rays?

Yes. Curve has completed 2,434 Dentrix conversions and 194 Dentrix Ascend conversions (as of July 2026), out of more than 7,500 conversions from 90+ systems. Patient records, documents, X-rays and images all come over, and our data engineers know Dentrix as well as they know Curve.

How long does it take to switch from Dentrix to Curve?

Most of the work happens before go-live: a test conversion, your team's review of a preview database, and then a final conversion that typically takes three business days. Dr. Jason Streeter's full conversion ran over six weeks and took less than two hours of his own time. Training happens live, on your own data.

Is Curve cheaper than Dentrix?

Curve is one monthly subscription that includes support, updates and cloud hosting, so there's no server, backup or IT contract to budget for on top. After switching from Dentrix, Dr. Jason Streeter cut his software-related costs by more than 50%. Your savings depend on what you pay today for licenses, support, hardware and add-ons.

Should we move to Dentrix Ascend or another cloud system?

Either way, you're moving data, retraining your team and changing workflows, so it's worth comparing before you commit. Curve has run in the cloud since 2004, has completed 194 Dentrix Ascend and 2,434 Dentrix conversions, and puts every part of the practice in one system with one monthly price.

Do we still need a server if we leave Dentrix?

No. Curve runs in your web browser and is hosted in the cloud, so there's no server to buy, back up, patch or replace, and no VPN or remote-login software for working from home. Updates arrive automatically overnight, so your team never schedules downtime for an install.

Will our Dentrix-connected imaging equipment work with Curve?

Curve works with most common sensors, cameras and imaging devices. Check your equipment against Curve's imaging compatibility list; your implementation team confirms every device before go-live, so nothing on your imaging setup is a surprise on day one.

Before you switch

Questions to askbefore you switch.

Tap any question to see how Curve answers it.

How long does it take to switch to Curve?

Switching follows four steps: a kickoff meeting and test conversion, data conversion, live training, and go-live. The final data conversion typically takes three business days, and imaging and document conversions begin right after you go live. A dedicated implementation team guides you: a project manager, a data migration specialist, a product trainer and an account manager. See the implementation process.

What does training look like, and how do new hires learn Curve?

Your team trains in 8 live, interactive webinar sessions tailored with your actual practice data, with additional sessions available if you need them. After go-live you get 3 more live training sessions, and your account manager checks in on a schedule for 3 months. New hires can use the knowledge hub’s user guides and video tutorials, free webinars, and Ask CurveAI for quick how-to answers.

Can patients book, text and pay online without extra software?

Yes. Curve GRO, Curve’s patient engagement tools, is built into Curve rather than sold as a separate add-on. It includes automated text and email reminders, self-scheduling from any device, two-way texting from your office phone number, and online statements and payments. Curve says GRO can reduce no-shows by up to 25%. Explore Curve GRO.

How do we fill last-minute cancellations?

Curve’s scheduling tools include Smart Fill, which helps you fill last-minute cancellations. Patients can also self-schedule from any device, and their selections appear instantly in your real-time schedule.

Can we get to our schedule and patients from anywhere, including across locations?

Yes. Curve gives you schedule access from any device, anywhere. The Curve Mobile app, available on iOS and Android, adds on-the-go schedule management, patient profiles with images, notes, appointments and alerts, and two-way texting. If you run multiple locations on the same database, Curve Chat lets your teams message each other across offices.

Does Curve work on a Mac?

Yes. Curve runs in a web browser, so Mac practices need only a browser and a stable internet connection, with no other installation. Imaging devices certified for Mac are listed separately on the Imaging Compatibility list.

Will our existing imaging equipment work with Curve?

Curve publishes an Imaging Compatibility list of the sensors, cameras and other devices it works with, including the Vatech EzSensor, Planmeca ProSensor USB, Video Dental Concepts QuickRay and Cyber Medical Imaging XDR. Check the list for your equipment, or ask your Curve representative about a specific model. Images you capture are saved directly to the patient record.

What internet connection do we need?

Curve runs in your browser, so it needs an internet connection. For the average practice of 1 to 10 users, Curve recommends at least 10 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload over DSL, cable, fiber or T1/T3 lines. Satellite and wireless service aren’t recommended. See the full list on the System Requirements page, or call Curve at 1-888-910-4376, option 1.

Is our data safe?

Curve stores and backs up your data in a top-tier Amazon Web Services (AWS) data center, which is HIPAA compliant. Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and Curve includes audit logs and strong password requirements. Curve is ISO 9001 certified, AWS is ISO 27001 certified, and Curve uses regular third-party penetration testing and intrusion detection. Read about data management.

Is support included after we go live?

Yes. For the lifetime of your Curve subscription, you have 24/7/365 support. During your first 90 days after go-live, your account manager also monitors your progress and offers support and coaching.

Can one system run the whole practice?

Yes. Curve is cloud-based, all-in-one practice management software. Scheduling, charting, imaging, billing and patient communication work together in a single platform and database.

Will we always be on the latest version?

Yes. Curve’s cloud-based software updates automatically, so customers always have the latest software.
