Pleasant Grove's Dental Intelligence buys Arizona software company

Dental Intelligence, a Pleasant Grove-based developer and marketer of dental practice management software, has acquired LocalMed of Scottsdale, Arizona. LocalMed markets a real-time online scheduling platform. Dental Intelligence said in a release that it will now employ LocalMed’s tools to find and reach out to unscheduled, higher-value patients in order to increase the volume and quality of scheduled appointments.{mprestriction ids="1,3"}

“We are thrilled with this historic acquisition,” said Weston Lunsford, CEO of Dental Intelligence. “LocalMed has cracked the code on helping dental practices resolve an enormous and universal challenge: How to keep their schedule full and keep their providers engaged in treating the patients most in need of care. Now, using our industry-leading practice insights and powerful data mining, these combined solutions will identify patients with unscheduled treatment who are most likely to schedule appointments when invited through electronic outreach to do so.”

“The combination of Dental Intelligence and LocalMed will give the dental community insight and action that has never been available before,” said LocalMed CEO Keith English. “While each platform standalone provides incredible ROI for dental offices, the combination of the two platforms will offer the ability to automatically identify and take advantage of the best opportunities for the office to maximize their revenue and be the most efficient practice possible.”

“We’re also excited to welcome the incredible LocalMed team to our family,” Lunsford added. “They join Dental Intelligence in our commitment to helping thousands of dental practices to provide more and better dentistry to their patients.”

Dental Intelligence and LocalMed will continue as independent firms and will continue to directly support their respective products. Going forward, these combined entities will collaborate in the development and implementation of new technology with the goal of improving patient care, team collaboration and practice profitability, Lunsford said.{/mprestriction}
