Recently, DentiMax extended its charitable support in Samoa by donating a Dream Sensor, imaging software, and a laptop to help local dental providers better serve patients in need. The donation was coordinated before the trip, with DentiMax providing the equipment and software to Dr. Smith in Arizona before he traveled to Samoa to deliver and use the technology at the Pesega Dental Clinic. DentiMax has long believed that dental technology can do more than improve efficiency inside a practice. In the right hands, it can help expand access to care, […]

Finding dental care shouldn’t feel like a guessing game. For most patients it still does: unclear pricing, surprise bills, and a lot of phone calls just to book a visit. We recently sat down with Tobi Bosede, founder and CEO of DentalFynd, to talk about how her team is making dental care something patients can actually shop for, and what that means for the practices on the other side of the chair. Who is Tobi Bosede? Tobi Bosede is the founder and CEO of DentalFynd and the president of People […]

Dentist Growth Rate Statistics in the U.S. (2026) The U.S. dentist workforce has grown slowly over the past decade, averaging less than 0.4% annually between 2015 and 2024. A retirement surge among baby boomer dentists caused the total count to briefly decline in 2023, even as a record class of 6,872 dental school graduates entered the profession in 2024. By the close of that year, 202,485 dentists were professionally active nationwide, according to the ADA Health Policy Institute. That slow supply growth stands in sharp contrast to an accelerating market. […]

The Best Radiography Sensors of 2026 From February through May 2026, our research team evaluated more than 30 intraoral dental radiography sensors available to practices across the United States. We analyzed manufacturer specifications, independent third-party clinical evaluations, published warranty terms, verified retail pricing data, and real-world ownership cost structures. Each sensor was scored across seven weighted criteria: We applied this weighted ranking system to identify the top five performers. The table below presents those sensors, with in-depth reviews following. The Best Radiography Sensors of 2026: At a Glance In the […]

DentiMax vs Carestream: Dental X-Ray Sensor Comparison In the dental imaging market, DentiMax and Carestream represent two distinctly different philosophies. DentiMax has built its reputation on open-system flexibility, transparent pricing, and software independence, allowing practices to maintain their existing workflows without forced platform migrations. Carestream, conversely, positions itself as an ecosystem provider with proprietary image processing capabilities, emphasizing advanced software integration and features optimized for practices committed to their CS Imaging Suite. This comparison matters because your sensor choice impacts far more than image quality. It determines your software flexibility, […]

Dental Office Overhead Percentages: 2026 Report Our research team compiled overhead data from dental practices across the United States, analyzing financial statements, industry benchmarks from the American Dental Association, and third-party dental CPA reports.

Dental office overhead represents all operational expenses required to run a practice, excluding doctor compensation. Industry benchmarks indicate that average dental practice overhead typically falls in the 60–67% range, […]

Top Digital X-Ray Sensors of 2026 Selecting the right digital X-ray sensor affects diagnostic accuracy, patient comfort, workflow efficiency, and total ownership costs. However, most practices invest $5,000 to $10,000 without access to comprehensive comparison data or risk-free trials. To address this, our research team analyzed over 40 sensor manufacturers in the United States, Canada, and Mexico, evaluating each product using six weighted criteria: After applying our weighted ranking system, we identified the top-performing sensors. The table below presents these sensors, with detailed reviews following. Top Dental Digital X-Ray Sensors […]
