Multiple pricing packages, new features, and enhanced support now available

IRVINE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Planet DDS, a leading provider of cloud-based, enterprise-grade dental software solutions, today announced the expansion of its Launchpad Program. Designed for early stage multi-location dental groups, Launchpad offers a first-of-its-kind accelerator model that helps practices boost growth with the tools, technology, and expert guidance needed to scale.

Now entering its second year, the Launchpad Program features a refreshed structure with multiple technology packages and pricing tiers, giving participants greater flexibility to align their investment with their current needs and long-term vision.

Building the Foundation for Scalable Expansion

The Launchpad Program reflects Planet DDS’s commitment to investing in the future of the dental industry by equipping growth-minded practices with the cloud-based infrastructure they need to advance and thrive in a competitive market.

New and returning features of the 2025 program include:

• Multiple Tech Packages: Practices can choose from three curated bundles with different capabilities and price points based on their size, goals, and budget.
  
  
• Significant First-Year Savings: Groups receive up to 80% savings on practice management and imaging software in year one, making enterprise technology accessible at a pivotal stage of their journey.
  
  
• Tailored Onboarding and Expert Support: Participants receive hands-on education, implementation assistance, and access to leading dental consultants.
  
  
• Scalable Technology Infrastructure: The platform includes Denticon Practice Management with advanced features like RCM, analytics and patient communication, plus Apteryx Cloud Imaging with AI—designed to grow alongside the organization.
  
  
• Operational Efficiency and Automation: Cloud-native tools help streamline scheduling, reduce administrative burden, and allow time for higher-quality patient care.
  
  
• Early Access to Enterprise Tools: Launchpad supports the transition away from outdated, fragmented systems to a unified platform that enables smarter, faster decision-making.

"With Launchpad, we're giving emerging dental groups affordable access to the technology solutions and resources they need to operate efficiently and focus on creating meaningful connections with patients while delivering superior care,” said Eric Giesecke, CEO of Planet DDS.

Empowering the Next Generation of Dental Leaders

Applications for the 2025 Launchpad cohort are now open for new customers only, with limited spots available. Launchpad is ideal for privately owned or founder-led dental groups with between two and nine locations and an annual revenue between $2M and $12M. Practices backed by private equity or venture capital aren’t eligible.

Dee Fischer, CEO of Fischer Professional Group, emphasized the program’s impact saying, “Giving emerging groups access to enterprise-ready technology and support—at this level of affordability—is truly a game changer. For growing dental groups, building a strong operational foundation and scalable processes early on is critical. Launchpad equips them with tools to do so. I strongly encourage growing groups to take full advantage of this opportunity.”
