So you’ve decided to launch a brand new startup dental practice. Congratulations! It is a big, bold move for you.
The pre-launch or early startup phase of a practice is one of the most exciting. You’re making huge decisions every day on everything from the X-Ray machines to dental mirrors.
Eventually, you’ll have to decide on the practice management software you and your staff will use every day for billing, scheduling, charting, and everything in between.
Of all the must-haves and items to get in order to launch, be it ever so humble, your choice of software is one of the earliest accommodations you can make to make your very first customer feel right at home. It’s also the digital working environment where you and your staff will be living day-in and day-out, so it’s ok to think of your preferences in the process too!
Hi, We’re Oryx, A Dental Practice Management Solution That’s Incentivized for Your Success as a Startup
Oryx is a clinically rooted, cloud-based dental software platform built by dentists, for dentistry. Designed with a patient-first mindset and deep clinical intelligence at its core, Oryx empowers dental teams to deliver better care, streamline operations, and grow without compromise. That’s who we are for the dental world at large.
For startups, we’ve got something a little more. If that first patient is still a concept, and not yet a real person with a scheduled appointment, you don’t have to sweat the overhead of the platform you’ll need to get them on the books. With Oryx the first 200 patients under your care or the first year are virtually free (technically, there is a whopping $1 setup fee).
We know how exciting it is to start a new practice, but we also know how overwhelming the business side of things can quickly become. Scrappy startups are working with budget constraints, limited staff, and (often) little experience with practice management software.
In any business environment, it’s always good to ask, “what’s in it for you… what’s the catch?” For us at Oryx, it’s your success as a dentist and business owner. That’s why our founder, Dr. Rania Saleh, a dentist who wanted better practice management software for herself and her peers, created Oryx.
Oryx wasn’t built by engineers with an eye for extracting revenue from another niche market segment. It was built by a dentist to deliver patient-first care at scale with clinical intelligence at its core. While others focus on operational tasks, we elevate clinical care and business performance, without compromise.
Oryx is Built for Growth by People Who Know How to Grow without Compromise
Yes, she’s our CEO at Oryx, but Dr. Rania is still a clinician at heart. She is steadfast in her mission to elevate the standards of oral healthcare and improve the lives of patients everywhere. She also is remarkably well grounded, having launched, owned, and operated her own multi- location practice. She’s walked the path you’re on now, and believes the more successful dental practices there are, the better care patients receive. When we say “grow without compromise” we’re not pitching an aspirational ideal. We’ve done it ourselves. Oryx hasn’t shortchanged quality or depth of capabilities to appease investors. Oryx has grown by supporting dentists with dentistry-experience at every level. For example 97% of our US-based employees joined with prior dental industry experience.
Thus far, our marketing team is the only real exception, and that’s a relatively new development. Oryx has historically strived to quietly deliver the best clinical and operational capabilities in a software platform possible. Now, with objective, supporting evidence from customer reviews, it’s time to go from quiet quality, to shining confidently to help even more practices grow.
What You Can Expect from Oryx as a Startup Dental Practice
The first 200 patients free package is an intentional eye-catcher, and we’ll cover that for sure, but at the forefront of what makes Oryx different is its depth of clinical capabilities. You get these capabilities as a startup, but they’re there to ensure dental practices of all sizes can deliver the best care possible.
