We’ve spent nearly five decades inside dental practices. We know exactly what the software should do. We’re building it. mintOS
An operating system for the dental practice. Not another practice management system. Minty, your AI sidekick, included.
Every limitation you’ve worked around. Every workflow that required a workaround. Every moment where the software asked you to adapt to it instead of the other way around. We’ve been collecting those moments since 1978, and we’re building something that addresses them at the root, not the surface.
Practice management software has mostly done one job: record what happened. Everything else a clinic depends on sits outside it. The phone is a separate system. Payments go through a terminal. Consent is a paper form. Reports come out of a spreadsheet. Someone on your team carries the information between them, all day. mintOS is built as an operating system for a dental practice: one system that runs the day, from the phone call to the chart to the payment to the report, with intelligence working inside all of it.
Artificial intelligence has reached the point where this can be built responsibly and deployed safely. We have spent nearly five decades learning the environment it has to serve.
A practice management system is the centre of a clinic. mintOS is the whole clinic.
Most clinics today run on a practice management system plus a dozen separate products around it: the phone system, the imaging software, the insurance portal, the payment terminal, the consent forms, the reporting tool, the chat app. Each has its own login and its own vendor, and most of them share no record with the others. mintOS is the operating system underneath all of them. The record is the centre. The rest is built on it, not connected to it. And the intelligence runs through the whole thing.
The centre: what a practice management system does.
Scheduling, charts and clinical notes, the patient ledger and invoicing, insurance claims by EDI, reporting, and some patient communication. In most clinics, this is the whole product. In mintOS it is the centre, not the whole.
Around it: what is usually another system, paper, or nobody’s job.
Imaging with AI reading. A full phone system. Voice clinical notes coded to SNOMED CT. Treatment plans assembled from the chart. Consent captured inside the plan. Online payments that post to the ledger. Insurance verification, and an insurance mailbox that is read automatically. Patient outreach that runs on its own. Team chat attached to the record. A live view of the office. Reports and templates you ask for in a sentence. Multi-clinic, multi-entity management. In most clinics each of these is a separate purchase, a separate login, a stack of paper, or a person remembering to do it. Here they are built on the same record.
Holding all of it: the operating system.
mintOS is the layer under all of it. It reads the record and every element around it, and turns what it sees into work: a task, for a person, with a priority. That is the difference between software built around data entry and software built around the day. Minty, your AI sidekick, is how you talk to it.
Imaging. X-ray built in, with AI reading the image alongside the clinician.
Phones. A full professional phone system. Calls become part of the patient’s record, and the system can act on what was said. Call recording follows each province’s privacy rules, and each clinic can add its own notice on top.
Voice notes. Speech in the operatory becomes a structured clinical note, coded to SNOMED CT. The clinician reviews and signs.
Treatment plans. Assembled from the findings in the chart and sequenced, ready for the dentist to review and present.
Consent. Collected inside the treatment-plan workflow and stored against the plan it belongs to.
Payments. Online payments that post to the ledger the same way a front-desk payment does.
Insurance. Verification, plus an insurance mailbox that is read automatically: each item is matched to its claim and either turned into a task or closed.
Outreach. Recall, confirmations and follow-ups sent by the system when the record says it is time. Your team steps in only when a patient needs a person.
Team chat. Messages between team members, inside the system, attached to the patient, the appointment or the task.
Office view. A live heatmap of the clinic: which operatories are in use, who is waiting and for how long, where the day is running behind.
Ask by chat. Reports and communication templates you describe in a sentence. Built, saved, and ready to run again next month.
Multi-clinic. One system across every location and every legal entity, with each clinic’s books, providers and permissions kept where they belong.
A different relationship between a clinic and its software.
The history of dental practice management software is a history of digitizing what was already being done by hand. Appointment books became scheduling screens. Paper charts became digital records. Filing cabinets became databases. Each generation did the same things faster and with fewer errors, and the fundamental model stayed the same: a tool that waits for a human to operate it.
What we are building starts from a different premise entirely. A dental practice generates an enormous amount of signal every day: scheduling patterns, treatment acceptance rates, recall gaps, billing anomalies, patient behaviour, clinical findings. Today that signal mostly goes unread, or is read too late to act on. The intelligence we are building doesn't wait for someone to run a report. It reads the practice continuously, surfaces what matters, and guides the people responsible for acting on it toward the right decision at the right moment.
That changes what the software is for. Most dental software systems today are built around data entry: a person opens the right screen, types in what happened, and decides on their own what to do next. mintOS is built around the work itself. It knows what needs to be done, who should do it, and how urgent it is, and it puts that task in front of the right person at the right time. Nobody searches for the right function. Nobody starts the day guessing what matters most.
The dental team remains in control. The dentist still diagnoses. The owner still leads. What changes is that neither of them is operating without the full picture, and neither is doing work that a thinking system could be doing for them.
What this is not, and what stays true.
It is not the current platform moved to the cloud. MaxiDent keeps running your clinic today and keeps getting updates, as it always has. mintOS is a new system, built from the beginning around one idea: the software carries the operational weight instead of handing it to your team.
It does not replace judgment. The dentist still diagnoses. The hygienist still decides what the patient in the chair needs. The owner still leads. The system prepares, assembles, reminds and reports. The people responsible still decide.
It is built to be the last system a clinic has to buy. Not because nothing will change, but because when something new is needed, it gets added to the operating system rather than sold as another program with another login and another invoice. We know that is a large claim. It is also the reason we are building it this way.
There is no pricing on this page yet. When there is, it will be published, the same way it is for everything else we sell.
When to expect it.
mintOS enters beta with hygienist practices in Q4 2026, followed by dental clinics in Q1 2027. People on the early access list hear from us first.
