Dental practice management software is generally sold as a desktop suite with a licence fee to match, which is why a great many clinics run on an appointment book, a drawer of files and a calculator.
Dentela is the whole clinic on the phone that is already in the dentist's pocket. The day view shows what is booked and catches a double-booking before it happens. Each patient carries one timeline — history, allergies, clinical notes, treatments and payments — instead of a file that has to be found.
The charting is the part that decides whether clinical software gets used. Dentela uses an interactive odontogram: mark caries, fillings and crowns tooth by tooth, and see how each one has changed between visits.
Prescriptions, receipts and invoices go straight to the patient's WhatsApp or print as a PDF — the two ways patients in this market actually keep a document.
Dentela is in development and launching on Android and iOS.
