Planet DDS Unveils Industry’s Most Comprehensive and Open API Program for DSOs and Partners

Eliminating Data Silos and Enhancing Interoperability Across Systems for Greater Efficiency, Customization, and Security

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Planet DDS, a leading provider of cloud-based dental software, announces the launch of the industry’s most open and robust APIs and developer platform yet. This new API offering empowers dental service organizations and dental group practices by facilitating seamless integration, synchronized data sharing, and transformative operational efficiencies across multiple applications.

The Need for Dental Software Integration

In today's dental industry, growth-minded DSOs and groups face the challenge of managing multiple software applications, often leading to data silos and operational inefficiencies. In order for these groups to continue to grow, they must prioritize productivity, cost reduction, and scalability, aiming to deliver consistent, high-quality patient care across locations. However, fragmented systems hinder their ability to scale without substantially increasing complexity and resource demands.

Planet DDS API: A Game-Changer for DSOs

"With the Planet DDS API program, we are not only addressing the challenges of fragmented systems but also enabling our customers and partners to build and deliver powerful, customized solutions that increase efficiency and improve the experience for both employees and patients alike,” said Eric Giesecke, CEO of Planet DDS. “Innovation is at the core of what we do, and the Planet DDS API program represents our commitment to providing a comprehensive and open DentalOS^TM platform. This is one that enables DSOs to collaborate with partners and customize their technology to meet unique needs, ensuring they can future-proof their operations in a rapidly changing industry effectively."

“The enhanced APIs for Denticon means we're unlocking a new era of customization and interoperability for our DSO,” said Behrod Ganjifard, VP of Technology at Onsite Dental, a longtime customer of Planet DDS. “This is exactly the innovation we've needed to enhance our operations and patient interactions.”
