The Open Source Practice Management System for Dental
A complete, cloud-native PMS that DSOs can self-host, software companies can sell as SaaS, and developers can build on. Built-in patient record portability, open third-party integrations, and multi-tenant deployment.
Records Move With the Patient, Not the Vendor
A patient at Office A (powered by Vendor X) can transfer their full clinical history to Office B (powered by Vendor Y) — instantly, with consent.
Office A
Chairside Foundation
Zero-knowledge registry
Stores only SHA-256 hashes
Zero PHI
Office B
RSA-signed consent • Direct transfer
Foundation facilitates the lookup but never sees the clinical data. The transfer is direct between offices, encrypted, and requires patient consent.
Practices Choose Their Own Tools
Third-party developers register once on Foundation. Any practice on any vendor’s Chairside deployment can authorize their app.

Developers register once. Practices authorize directly — no vendor approval needed. Each app only accesses the data the practice consented to, scoped to that practice only.
Built Different From the Ground Up
Three capabilities designed into the core of Chairside that set it apart.
Patient records move with the patient
Chairside includes a built-in patient portability registry. When a patient visits a new office, their complete clinical history — X-rays, treatment plans, notes, medications — transfers instantly via FHIR R4. No faxes. No phone calls. Cross-vendor, cross-state, with patient consent.
Practices connect any third-party app they choose
Chairside ships with an OAuth2 authorization server and a Graph API covering 22 data collections. Practices authorize third-party apps directly — AI diagnostics, analytics, patient communication, insurance tools, marketing platforms. The ecosystem is open by design.
Deploy on your own terms, at your own scale
-500/month per provider. A 30-location DSO with 3 providers each spends over K annually on PMS licenses — for software they can’t modify, can’t migrate from, and don’t control the roadmap of.
Full PMS Feature Set
Everything a dental office needs to operate — from patient intake to insurance claim submission.
Who Deploys Chairside
Chairside is built for technical teams in dental organizations — not end users browsing for software.
