Early access waitlist is now open for purpose-built AI agents that connect directly to Denticon and Cloud 9.<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

IRVINE, Calif., February 26, 2026<\/strong> \u2013 Planet DDS<\/a> today unveiled DentalOS\u2122 AI Agents<\/a>, a new category of AI-powered workers purpose-built to operate inside the dental practice management system. DentalOS AI Agents are intelligent, autonomous agents that live within Denticon<\/a> and Cloud 9<\/a>, accessing live patient data, real schedules, and established workflows to complete operational work the way a trained team member would, at any hour, across every location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first agents target front desk operations where missed communication directly leads to lost revenue. Today, the average dental practice sees a 15% no-show rate, costing providers more than $150,000 per year in lost production\u2014and 36% of patients who miss appointments say they simply forgot. For DSOs and multi-location groups, these gaps compound across dozens or hundreds of locations. These are solvable problems.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The newly announced Confirmation Agent and Scheduling Agent are designed to address these challenges systematically across organizations. But the front desk is only the starting point. Planet DDS will introduce additional AI agent roles throughout 2026 and beyond, building toward a full AI workforce spanning clinical coordination, patient communications, revenue cycle management (RCM<\/a>), and more, all embedded within DentalOS<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDSOs that are scaling face an inherent tension\u2014<\/em>more locations mean more operational complexity, more communication to manage, and more pressure on teams already stretched thin,” said Eric Giesecke, CEO of Planet DDS. “We’re introducing an entirely new way of using our software by providing access to an AI workforce that lives inside DentalOS, understands the full context of every patient interaction, and works alongside human teams so organizations can scale without sacrificing consistency, responsiveness, or the people who make it all work. The Confirmation and Scheduling Agents we’re launching are just the beginning.\u201d  \u2014Eric Giesecke, CEO at Planet DDS<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet the First Two AI Agents for Dental Front Desk Operations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Confirmation Agent <\/strong>automates outbound appointment confirmations within a configurable window, helping DSOs reduce no-shows and stabilize provider schedules without increasing staff workload. If a patient can’t make it, the agent can reschedule the appointment during the same call using policy-controlled slot search without creating scheduling risk. It verifies patient identity before sharing protected health information, respects consent and office hours, and writes confirmation and reschedule outcomes back into Denticon and Cloud 9 with full auditability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Confirmation Agent has been shown to increase appointment confirmation rates by 20% to 50% from historic baselines, reduce no-shows by 15% to 30%, and save front desk teams an estimated 60% to 75% of hours previously spent on manual confirmation workflows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scheduling Agent<\/strong> keeps schedules full by proactively reaching out to patients from recall lists, waitlists, ASAP lists, and unscheduled treatment, then booking appointments directly into the practice management system<\/a>. When cancellations occur, the agent triggers time-sensitive outreach to quickly recover open time. It reaches patients through outgoing calls and logs every interaction back into Denticon and Cloud 9, so teams maintain full visibility across locations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Confirmation and Scheduling Agents protect production and reduce no-shows, which for DSOs means healthier EBITDA. And this is just the first layer. As we bring AI agents into the revenue cycle, clinical coordination, and beyond, we’re building a workforce that strengthens our customers\u2019 business at every level.\u201d \u2014Nathan James, Chief Product Officer at Planet DDS<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
