How many patient calls is your practice missing?

Most dental practices miss 30-40% of inbound calls. See how AI reception can capture every call 24/7.

Curve Hero is the practice management system for dental practices that went all-in on cloud from day one. No servers. No IT headaches. No "we need to update the software this weekend." If you chose Curve, you chose simplicity, accessibility, and modern technology. Now here is the good news: AI front desk on top of Curve is the easiest PMS integration we offer — because cloud-to-cloud just works.

Why Practices Choose Curve Hero

Curve Hero is not a legacy system that got a cloud wrapper. It was built cloud-native from the ground up. Practices choose it for specific reasons:

  • True cloud: Access your schedule, patient records, imaging, and billing from any device, anywhere. No VPN, no remote desktop, no "the server is down."
  • All-in-one: Scheduling, charting, imaging, perio, billing, insurance verification, patient engagement — all in one platform. No bolt-on modules to buy separately.
  • Built-in imaging: Capture, store, and view X-rays and intraoral images from the cloud. No local storage, no third-party imaging software needed.
  • Smart billing: Automated claim filing, real-time eligibility verification (Eligibility+), EFT/ERA auto-posting. Practices report faster collections and fewer denied claims.
  • 24/7 support: US-based, award-winning support available around the clock. From onboarding to daily troubleshooting — help is always available.
  • No per-provider fees: Pricing is per location, not per dentist. A three-provider practice pays the same as a solo practitioner.

Trusted by 80,000+ dental professionals across North America. Practices that switch to Curve typically do not switch back — the cloud convenience is that significant.

Cloud + Cloud = The Fastest AI Integration

Here is why Curve Hero practices deploy AI front desk faster than any other PMS:

FactorOn-Premise PMS (Dentrix G7, EagleSoft)Curve Hero (Cloud)
Integration typeBridge to local serverCloud-to-cloud API
Server dependencyAI needs server online to access dataNo server — both live in the cloud
IT involvementMay need IT for network accessZero IT needed
Setup time5-7 days typical2-3 days typical
After-hours data accessDepends on server uptimeAlways available — cloud never sleeps
Multi-locationConnect each server separatelyCentralized — one connection, all locations

When both your PMS and your AI are in the cloud, there is no local server to maintain, no network to configure, no firewall to open. The integration is API-to-API, always on, always fast.

How TensorLinks Integrates With Curve Hero

Real-Time Schedule Access

AI reads your live Curve Hero schedule in real time. Provider availability, operatory status, open slots — the same information your front desk sees, available to AI 24/7. At 9 PM when a patient calls, AI sees tomorrow's schedule as clearly as your team sees it at 9 AM.

Direct Appointment Booking

AI books directly into Curve Hero — correct provider, correct operatory, correct appointment type and duration. The appointment appears in your schedule within seconds. Your staff sees it the next morning with zero follow-up needed.

Patient Record Management

Existing patients: AI looks them up by name, phone, or date of birth and personalizes the conversation. New patients: AI collects information and creates the record in Curve Hero during the call — intake complete before the patient hangs up.

Insurance Verification

Curve Hero's Eligibility+ provides real-time insurance verification. AI can inform patients about their coverage during the call: "Your Delta Dental PPO covers cleanings at 100%. Shall I book you in?"

The Agentic Layer: Beyond Basic Scheduling

Connecting to Curve Hero for scheduling is Level 3 integration. TensorLinks adds a Level 4 agentic layer:

  • Custom instructions: "Hygiene appointments are 45 minutes in Op 1 or Op 2." "Dr. Garcia only does cosmetic consults on Thursdays." "New patients from Google Ads get priority same-week scheduling." Plain English rules that AI follows exactly.
  • Practice knowledge base: Your insurance policies, pricing, office hours, parking info, new patient protocols — AI answers questions using your specific information.
  • Proactive outreach: AI queries Curve Hero for patients due for recall, pending treatment plans, and missed appointments — then reaches out via call, text, or email automatically.
  • Omnichannel: Voice + SMS + web chat + email. Every channel reads from and writes to the same Curve Hero patient record.
  • 24+ languages: Auto-detects the patient's language mid-call. No bilingual staff required.
  • 1M+ context window: AI holds your entire practice context — every provider, operatory, rule, and instruction — in memory at all times.

How This Changes Daily Operations

Before AI + Curve Hero

  • Staff manages phones + check-in + insurance between patients
  • After-hours calls: voicemail. Weekends: voicemail. Lunch: voicemail.
  • Recall list grows but nobody has time to work it
  • New patient intake: 15 minutes per call, manual data entry
  • Cloud accessibility is great for YOU — but patients still get voicemail when you are busy

After AI + Curve Hero

  • AI handles 20-30% of front desk workload — every call staff cannot get to
  • Every after-hours, weekend, and holiday call answered and booked in Curve Hero
  • Recall campaigns run automatically — hundreds of patients contacted daily
  • New patients onboarded during the call — record in Curve Hero before they hang up
  • Cloud + AI = your practice is truly 24/7 — not just accessible, but responsive

Real Results

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the integration truly cloud-to-cloud?

Yes. Both Curve Hero and TensorLinks are cloud-native. The API connection happens entirely in the cloud — no local servers, no network bridges, no IT configuration. This is why Curve Hero practices have the fastest setup time of any PMS we integrate with.

Does Curve Hero charge extra for API access?

Curve Hero's API access is included as part of their platform. Check with Curve Dental directly for any specific integration fees, but there are no separate API exchange fees like Dentrix Ascend's $47/month charge.

Can AI use Curve Hero's Eligibility+ for insurance verification?

AI accesses insurance information from Curve Hero to answer patient coverage questions during calls. The real-time eligibility data from Eligibility+ gives AI accurate, current insurance information to share with patients.

I have multiple locations on Curve Hero. Does AI work across all of them?

Yes. Curve Hero is built for multi-location workflows, and TensorLinks matches that. Each location gets its own AI configuration (providers, operatories, custom instructions) while you get a centralized dashboard to manage all locations. Cloud-to-cloud across every site.
