tab32 is a cloud-native dental practice management platform built on Google Cloud. It brings scheduling, clinical charting, digital imaging, claims, billing, patient communication and analytics into one system that runs in a web browser, so a practice does not need to own or maintain a server.
The company says it was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Sacramento, California. It describes itself as Series B funded and reports customers in 40+ U.S. states, with more than 1,000 dental practices. Its CEO and founder, Kiltesh Patel, started the company to replace server-based dental software that had changed little since the 1990s.
tab32 describes a four-step workflow. Patients book, and insurance eligibility checks run before they sit down. The team then charts, images and documents treatment in one clinical view, and finally sends claims and e-Attachments and posts payments.
Every module shares one database, so a change made in a perio chart or an eligibility check is visible elsewhere without import, export or overnight sync. The platform is sold as two products on a single codebase: Alpine for small practices and Summit for multi-location groups.
Every plan includes scheduling with an ASAP list and waitlist, odontogram and perio charting, treatment planning, digital imaging, document management and reports. Claims go out electronically with attachments, and payments run through Stripe with text-to-pay, eStatements and stored cards.
AI is a larger part of the product than in many dental systems. Voice Scribes and Voice Perio handle voice charting, while AI is also applied to eligibility, claims and payment posting. Radiology uses Pearl AI and PiAI to detect conditions on X-rays. For analytics, tab32 offers pre-built dashboards and an open BigQuery data warehouse that connects to Tableau, Power BI and Looker.
