Curve Dental is cloud-based dental practice management software covering charts, scheduling and billing. Curve Hero runs in the browser, so there is nothing to install. Curve Dental was founded in Canada in 2004.
Curve Dental covers the running of the practice: the schedule, the chart, billing and the patient record. Practices on Curve keep all of that exactly as it is.
Answering the phone is the job Aida takes. When a patient calls after hours or during a busy stretch, Aida answers, and the booking lands in Curve directly or goes to your team to confirm first.
Aida answers the call and can check open times in your Curve schedule and book the appointment under your clinic's rules, or send each booking to your team to confirm first. We confirm and test the workflow for your Curve setup before launch.
Aida checks open times and books under your clinic's rules, or takes the request for your team.
The booking is confirmed once it is read back from the schedule. If it cannot be confirmed, or your clinic chose staff confirmation, your team receives the request.
Aida captures caller details, then books the appointment or hands it to your team. Clinical records and billing data are not accessed.

Curve Dental is cloud software. Aida planning is PHIPA-aware. Before launch, the connection method, access scope, processing location, retention and vendor terms are validated with your practice.
Most US-based dental AI receptionists carry a HIPAA badge. HIPAA does not apply in Canada. Ontario dental practices are governed by PHIPA. A core privacy question is where personal health information is processed, who can access it, and what safeguards apply before the workflow goes live.
Curve Dental is reviewed as part of the practice's PMS workflow. Aida can book directly into Curve, or send each booking to your team to confirm first. Your clinic chooses. Any supported connection is validated before launch.

What none of the 20 vendors we checked offer: a choice of Canada, the US or Australia for your data, or a choice of how long recordings are kept.
Aida supports ClearDent and ABELDent, plus Dentrix, Open Dental and Eaglesoft, and only one of the 20 names ClearDent.
CA$500 a month per location (US$350, A$500, NZ$500, all including tax; £300 plus VAT, €350 plus VAT; AED 1,300 business pricing, excluding 5% VAT; SAR 1,300 plus 15% VAT), or CA$400 per month, billed annually (CA$4,800 per year), including tax, with unlimited calls, no setup fee and month to month terms, while many rivals bill per call, per minute or per credit, so a busy clinic pays more as it grows.
Our price is on the site, while most of the 20 keep the dental price behind a demo or inside a bundle.
Aida books into your practice software while the caller is on the line, while most of the 20 take a request that lands minutes later or needs staff to finish.
Phone, text, iMessage, WhatsApp, email, Instagram, Facebook, Messenger and fax, while nearly all of the 20 answer phone and text only.
Reminders, recall, review requests and insurance coverage calls go out from the number patients know, while most of the 20 sell inbound only or bundle outbound with their phones.
Add answers, knowledge and feedback in the portal and Aida learns, while with some rivals every change goes through their staff.
