Curve Dental was built cloud-native — not a legacy system awkwardly ported to the web, but architected from day one for browser-based access. No servers to manage, no IT staff needed, no backup drives to worry about. For a dental practice modernizing from on-premise Dentrix or Eaglesoft, Curve represents genuine infrastructure progress. But modern infrastructure does not equal modern marketing. You can access your patient charts from anywhere — you just need more patients to chart.
TL;DR
Curve Dental modernizes your PMS infrastructure. The Webevo platform modernizes your marketing. Cloud charting + AI-powered growth = the complete modern dental practice.
What Curve Dental Actually Does Well
Curve Dental's cloud-native advantage is real, not marketing spin.
True Cloud-Native Architecture: Unlike Dentrix Ascend (a cloud migration) or hosted versions of legacy systems, Curve was built for the browser from scratch. This means faster performance, automatic updates without scheduled downtime, and no legacy code limitations. Access from any device, any location, instantly.
DSO-Ready Multi-Location: Curve's centralized management for Dental Service Organizations and multi-location groups consolidates patient data, revenue cycle management, and reporting across all locations into one dashboard. This makes it particularly strong for growing group practices.
Integrated Payment Processing: Built-in payment processing at the chair — no separate POS terminal, no third-party merchant services to manage. This reduces checkout friction and consolidates financial data.
Faster Periodontal Charting: Curve's perio charting is designed for speed — fewer clicks, faster data entry, and streamlined workflows that hygienists appreciate during time-constrained appointments.
Cloud Infrastructure ≠ Growth Engine
Curve solves the IT problem. It does not solve the marketing problem.

Point Solutions Create Tool Sprawl — Platforms Create Growth: The average service business uses 6-8 disconnected marketing tools. Each tool costs $50-$100/month. Total: $300-$1,600/month for a fragmented stack where no tool talks to another. Data sits in silos. Insights are lost between platforms. The Webevo platform replaces the entire stack with one integrated system where every channel shares data and amplifies every other channel.
Who Should Use What
Keep Curve Dental alone if:
- You are a DSO or multi-location group where centralized cloud management is the priority
- Your practice is at capacity with strong referral networks
- Migration from legacy on-premise systems is your current project
Add the Webevo platform if:
- Your cloud PMS is modern but your marketing is still Yellow Pages era
- Each location needs local SEO, voice AI, and reputation management
- You want growth marketing that scales across all your Curve Dental locations
