About

Planet DDS is an Irvine, California-based cloud-native dental software company that offers an integrated suite of tools for dental practices, DSOs, and dental imaging, with Denticon as its flagship cloud practice management system and Apteryx XVWeb as its cloud imaging platform. Founded in 2003, Planet DDS built Denticon as one of the first true multi-site, cloud-based dental practice management systems at a time when the market was dominated by legacy on-premise software. Denticon's multi-location architecture allows DSOs and group practices to manage enterprise-level functions—credentialing, reporting, fee schedule management, and patient record sharing across locations—from a centralized cloud platform rather than managing separate on-premise installations at each site.\n\nPlanet DDS has doubled down on the DSO market, where its cloud architecture offers significant operational advantages over legacy systems that require local servers, manual software updates, and location-by-location IT support. The company's acquisition of Apteryx, a dental imaging software business, extended its platform into digital radiography management, allowing practices to manage both clinical workflows and imaging through an integrated cloud environment. Planet DDS also acquired Legwork in 2021, a dental patient communication and marketing platform, adding patient engagement, online scheduling, and reputation management capabilities to its suite.\n\nThe DSO market has been growing rapidly as dental consolidation accelerates, and Planet DDS is positioned to benefit from practices migrating away from Dentrix and Eaglesoft to cloud-native platforms that can scale with multi-location growth. The company integrates with dental imaging sensors, intraoral cameras, and third-party lab management systems. Planet DDS competes with Carestream Dental, Curve Dental, and the Carestream/Apteryx imaging market alongside practice management leaders Dentrix and Eaglesoft, which are owned by Henry Schein.

About

Bruno is an open-source API client and testing tool — a lightweight, offline-first, git-friendly alternative to Postman and Insomnia — enabling developers to explore, test, and document APIs with collections stored as plain-text Bru files in the project filesystem rather than in cloud-synced proprietary formats. Created by a solo founder in 2022 and growing to a 9-person team by late 2024, Bruno operates with an unusual philosophy: the founder publicly declined 8 venture capital offers to preserve product freedom and build toward profitability, with the core Bruno client remaining free and open-source (MIT license) while the Golden Edition provides enterprise features for commercial revenue. Pro and Ultimate paid editions launched in 2024.
