tab32 has launched Alpine, an artificial intelligence-powered dental practice management platform designed for independent dental practices and new practice owners in the United States. The cloud-based system combines practice management functions, AI-assisted clinical and revenue-cycle tools, and 17 AI agents designed to perform administrative tasks.
According to tab32, Alpine integrates scheduling, patient records, radiographs and other imaging, financial ledgers, and insurance claims within a single system. The platform also provides tools for clinical charting, treatment planning, patient forms, billing, and reporting.
The software incorporates AI into several clinical and administrative workflows, including clinical note generation, voice-based periodontal charting, insurance eligibility verification, claim remark generation, electronic and paper explanation of benefits (EOB) posting, and insurance appeals.
A central feature of Alpine is its agentic AI system, which includes 17 agents organized around five operational areas: appointment scheduling, production growth, patient retention, practice protection, and daily operations.
According to the company, these agents can perform tasks such as appointment confirmations, no-show follow-up, same-day cancellation management, waitlist coordination, hygiene recall, unscheduled treatment follow-up, insurance benefit reminders, patient reactivation, postoperative check-ins, and coverage verification.
For appointment scheduling, the system is designed to interpret patient responses, identify available appointment times, offer scheduling options, and enter confirmed appointments into the practice record. Alpine also includes agents that prepare a morning huddle report at 7 a.m. and an end-of-day summary at 6 p.m. Users can establish recurring tasks or provide instructions in plain language.
The company states that each agent initially operates in an approval mode, allowing practice personnel to review proposed actions before execution. Practices can authorize individual agents to perform specific tasks and revoke those permissions as needed. Agent actions are recorded in the practice management system, and the agents are not permitted to charge patients, issue refunds, or transfer funds.
Practice management software is sold like enterprise software to people running a four-chair office: demo, quote, contract, implementation fee, said Kiltesh Patel, CEO of tab32. We put every price on the website and opened the door. If Alpine is as good as we think it is, a dentist will find that out in fourteen days without talking to us.
Alpine is available to new practices, while existing practices can transition through a migration process that tab32 estimates will take two to four weeks, including a weekend cutover.
The company reports that Alpine is HIPAA compliant and SOC 2 compliant and includes a Business Associate Agreement, encryption of data in transit and at rest, and an audit log.
Headquartered in Roseville, California, tab32 provides cloud-based dental practice management software. According to the company, its systems serve more than 1,500 dental clinics and 3,000 providers, processing more than $455 million in collections annually. Its product portfolio includes Alpine for independent practices and Summit for larger practices, dental groups, and dental support organizations.
