Why we're building this
Dentists don't hate their software because it's old.
They hate it because nobody who built it has ever worked a chair.
The dental PMS market has been a one-vendor-fits-all conversation for thirty years. AveoDent exists because we've been on both sides of that — a practicing dentist (Kali) and a product person (Sean) — and we know exactly why every practice we've talked to says the same five things.
The five things we hear, every time
Where the frustration actually lives.
1. Software built by people who’ve never charted a tooth.
The dental PMS market is dominated by products built decades ago by engineers who never sat in an operatory. Workflows that feel obvious from the chair feel optional or invisible to the people building the software. Kali, our co-founder, is a practicing pediatric dentist. She decides what ships.
2. Eight tabs to check in a patient.
Insurance verification in one tool. Intake forms in another. Balance in a third. Consent in a fourth. The front office becomes a human integration layer between systems that should have always talked to each other. Aveo merges them into one panel.
3. Three vendors to do what should be one.
Practices today run PMS + Weave (or Solutionreach) + a payment processor + sometimes a scheduling assistant + a recall service. That’s 4–6 bills, 4–6 logins, 4–6 support tickets. Aveo replaces the non-phone vendors with one product.
4. Owners blind to their own practice.
You signed the loan, but the numbers live in Eaglesoft + QuickBooks + a spreadsheet your office manager updates monthly. By the time you see a trend, it’s three months old. Aveo computes everything live from the ledger and surfaces what’s actually worth your attention.
5. Migration trauma.
Switching dental software is so painful that practices stay on systems they hate for a decade. The data conversion runs Friday night, half the records show up wrong on Monday, and your team is reconstructing the schedule from a stack of printouts. We treat the migration like the first and most important feature, not an afterthought.
How we build differently
The principles, not just the pitch.
A practicing dentist should own the clinical roadmap. Kali Stewart, DMD does.
Every PHI read is audited at the service layer, not the route layer. Cannot be bypassed by a new caller.
Migration is the first feature, not a service. Field-coverage disclosure + reconciliation report + dry-run preview ship from day one.
AI features are HIPAA-grade by construction — Vertex (Google Cloud BAA). No consumer Gemini, no Anthropic, no OpenAI direct calls. Topic catalogs, not free-form prompts.
If we can’t do a workflow well, we say so on the demo call. No checkbox-feature theater.
