Pleasant Grove-based Dental Intelligence, a dentistry analytics and workflow automation platform, has announced the acquisition of Modento. Modento is patient communications and management platform based in Seattle. The transaction will expand Dental Intelligence’s product suite and position the company for continued growth, the company said.

Modento software handles all administrative interaction with patients before, during and after their appointments, thereby providing a completely automated and touchless patient communication and management experience, a Dental Intelligence release said.

“Modento’s technology will further enhance the powerful insights available through the Dental Intelligence analytics solution,” the statement said. “With it, Dental Intelligence will drive forward with one purpose in mind — to help practices grow, ensuring that no patient or practice growth opportunity slips through the cracks.”

“We are thrilled with this acquisition and I couldn’t be more excited about what this means, both for our customers and for this incredible industry,” said Weston Lunsford, CEO of Dental Intelligence. “Our analytics and online scheduling technologies combined with Modento’s patient engagement and communications will help practices provide more and better dentistry to their patients, especially to those who need it the most.”

The dental industry is changing rapidly, largely thanks to the consolidation of practices into groups, according to Lunsford, Dental Intelligence’s analytics and AI platform was built to identify and address the challenges and needs specific to these groups while also providing the same benefits to single practices across the country, he said.

Karol Jasik, CEO of Modento, and his entire team will be joining Dental Intelligence.

“We are beyond excited to join forces with the DI team as they embody the values that Modento holds dear,” said Karol. “These shared values — technological innovation, stellar customer service and the best possible user experience — have helped our company get where we are today. Combining forces with DI accelerates our trajectory to deliver the intelligent, intuitive and robust software product that the dental industry has been waiting for.”

This is the second acquisition for Dental Intelligence within the past 18 months, having acquired LocalMed Online Scheduling  in August of 2019.

Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
