How we build Plandentic
The future of dental treatment planning
At Plandentic, we’re not just building software – we’re redefining how dental professionals create and present treatment plans. Our goal is to make treatment planning effortless, intuitive, and effective for clinics and patients alike.
To achieve this, we put business needs first. Plandentic is designed for dentists, not developers. Every feature, every interaction, and every workflow is built to support real-world dental practices. Our mission is simple – help clinics increase treatment acceptance, enhance their professional image, and improve patient understanding.
The technology behind Plandentic is what makes it feel effortless. Every decision, every interaction, and every feature is built to enhance the experience, not complicate it.
At its core, Plandentic is a sales engine for dentists – clear, beautiful treatment plans that are easy to share digitally and designed to convert.
Why dental treatment planning needs a change
Traditional treatment planning is outdated. Many clinics still rely on basic printouts or verbal explanations, which leave patients confused, uncertain, and often hesitant to proceed with treatment. A standard A4 sheet with bullet points and pricing may work, but it lacks clarity, professionalism, and personalization – all things today’s patients deeply value.
Dentists shouldn’t have to spend extra time explaining treatment options because their tools fall short. Patients should see a plan that speaks for itself – clear, structured, and visually engaging.
This is where Plandentic will change everything.
Designed for real business needs
Plandentic is built on a modern, carefully architected technology stack that powers everything behind the scenes. But technology alone isn’t enough. The real success of Plandentic comes from understanding the challenges clinics face every day. We’ve built the app around three key principles:
- Efficiency for clinics - Every second spent managing software is time taken away from patients. That’s why Plandentic is designed to be intuitive, fast, and easy to integrate into a clinic’s workflow.
- Clarity and presentation - Patients need treatment plans they can understand at a glance. Plandentic makes every plan visually structured, easy to follow, and professional in appearance.
Built to grow, designed for simplicity
We’ve also designed Plandentic to be effortless to use.
No technical knowledge is required – just open the app and start creating professional treatment plans that impress patients and drive results.
The future of dental treatment planning isn’t just digital – it’s seamless, intelligent, and built for real-world needs.
Plandentic is more than just software – it’s a new way of working. By combining business-driven design with cutting-edge technology, we’re making treatment planning easier, smarter, and more impactful than ever.
A seamless experience, built on modern technology
Plandentic is guided by a culture of engineering excellence.
That means thoughtful architecture, deliberate choices, and a constant drive to improve how things work under the hood - without ever complicating the experience on the surface.
A great app should feel natural.
Pages should load instantly, workflows should be smooth, and every interaction should happen without friction. To achieve this, we rely on a modern foundation that allows us to scale, add new features, and ensure reliability.
The best technology is the one you don’t even notice, but it makes everything work seamlessly.
We treat every new technology as an opportunity - not just to modernize, but to make a real difference.
Every decision we make has one goal: a better experience for dentists and their patients.
Under the hood: our technical stack
React 19 with Typescript forms our fast, modern, and maintainable frontend foundation - supported by Redux for meticulous state management that ensures nothing gets lost or misused.
For rich text editing and document creation, we’ve chosen TipTap as our document editor engine - a modern, powerful framework that gives us complete control over the editing experience. TipTap enables us to create the perfect treatment planning interface for dental professionals.
Data is stored in a carefully structured PostgreSQL database - clean, efficient and designed for concurrency and high-performance.
Plandentic’s architecture is designed to evolve.
Our monorepo, powered by next-generation runtime Bun, keeps builds blazing fast and tightly integrated.
Behind it all, our backend runs as microservices, orchestrated on Kubernetes - giving us the flexibility, security, and scalability needed to grow without limits.
New features ship through continuous integration pipelines, with Kubernetes deployments ensuring they go live smoothly - with zero downtime, zero disruption, and zero stress.
Don’t ever worry if a new version might break something.
We test thoroughly with Playwright. We monitor continuously with Prometheus. We see deep with OpenTelemetry. And we stress-test with k6 to make sure nothing cracks under pressure.
If anything ever happens, we’ll diagnose it in no time. And fix it even faster.
Plandentic is powered by a combination of these carefully selected technologies that work together to create seamless experience for the years to come.
Our Strategic Foundation
We’re not just a software company – we’re a product company. Our focus is on building tools that deliver long-term value to clinics, not just checkboxes on a feature list.
We believe that customer success is our success. With dental professionals as part of our team, we build in true partnership with the dental community – shaped by real challenges and inspired by firsthand experience.
Our strong technological foundation allows us to evolve quickly and securely. We move fast, but never at the cost of quality.
We’re also monitoring the AI space for meaningful opportunities – like predictive analytics that forecast material usage based on treatment data, helping clinics order smarter and reduce costs.
We’re here to support the next generation of dental clinics – and we’re just getting started. Our vision has also attracted support from European innovation funds – a signal that what we’re building is part of something bigger.
