Astra Practice Partners

What Astra Practice Partners does

Astra Practice Partners, legally Dentists Management Corporation, Inc., is a US-based provider of integrated dental practice management technology, hardware, and support services headquartered in Portland, Oregon. It was formed in 2019 by consolidating three legacy dental service entities — Dentists Management Corporation, Dental Commerce Corporation, and Moda Health Services — under the Moda Health family of companies, and it traces its operating history in the dental vertical back over 30 years. The company's core product is DAISY+, a subscription-based dental practice management software platform that unifies clinical charting, treatment planning, patient management, scheduling, accounts receivable, claims processing (with ERA Quick Post across 140+ insurers), electronic remittance, eligibility checks, eRx/EPCS, and a mobile remote-access app. DAISY+ integrates with a broad partner ecosystem including Panda Periodontal, ScanOra, XDR imaging, SOTA Imaging, ImageWorks, Vatech, PreXion, Change Healthcare, NEA FastAttach, Cisco Meraki, ioSafe, Macrium, and Mozy, and is sold alongside bundled digital imaging hardware (sensors, panoramic and 3D cone beam systems, intraoral cameras), computer workstations, and multi-layered security and backup appliances.

Astra generates revenue from five streams: (1) DAISY+ software subscriptions under a 3-year agreement that bundles data conversion, three days of onsite training, and unlimited support and claims transactions; (2) hardware resale sourced directly from manufacturers such as Dell, ImageWorks, SOTA, Vatech, PreXion, and ioSafe; (3) recurring Remote Support and Full Service maintenance plans at monthly cadence, with optional cloud backup up to 45 GB; (4) a la carte technical services at $89/hr remote (15-minute increments) and $140/hr onsite plus a $39 trip fee; and (5) transactional services for patient statement processing at $0.43 plus postage and recall cards at $0.55. Go-to-market is purely direct: field sales provide on-site consultation, installation, and training for mid-market practices, while inside sales respond to inbound phone (503-243-3966 / 800-368-6401), live chat, and 24-hour-sla web inquiries from SMB and solo practices. The company serves a single vertical — general and specialized dental practices in the United States — and operates as a privately held subsidiary within the Moda Health Services conglomerate, with no disclosed funding rounds or public listing.

Direct peers

• Curve Dental: Browser-based dental PMS aimed at SMB and multi-site practices; competes for the same cloud-migration demand that threatens Windows-based systems like DAISY+.
• Open Dental: Open-source dental practice management software with strong SMB penetration; competes on price and flexibility against Astra's bundled subscription model.
• Henry Schein One (Dentrix): Market-leading dental practice management software (Dentrix) bundled with imaging, payments, and patient engagement — the primary direct competitor to DAISY+ in the SMB dental vertical.
• Patterson Dental (Eaglesoft): Patterson's Eaglesoft is one of the most widely deployed on-prem dental PMS platforms, also bundled with Patterson imaging hardware and distribution — directly comparable to Astra's software + imaging + support bundle.
• Planet DDS (Denticon): Cloud-native dental practice management platform (Denticon) serving both single-location and DSO customers — the canonical cloud-based rival to DAISY+'s Windows architecture.

Others

• Vyne Dental: Dental claims attachment and electronic information exchange provider already integrated with DAISY+ (NEA FastAttach); adjacent ecosystem peer whose product Astra resells/integrates.

Emerging players

• SOTA Imaging: Dental intraoral camera and sensor manufacturer already partnered with Astra (Claris i5HD, Clio sensors); also sells direct, creating channel overlap and a comparable imaging-product peer.
• tab32: Cloud dental PMS/platform targeting small and group practices with integrated imaging, claims, and EHR — an emerging SMB cloud peer that overlaps DAISY+'s clinical charting and claims workflows.
• ImageWorks (DTX Studio / Eva Select): Dental imaging hardware maker (Panoura 18S, X-ERA 3D, EVA Select) and Astra's core imaging partner; competes in the same imaging-equipment category with similar end-customer profile.

Broad incumbents

• Carestream Dental: Established imaging-and-software incumbent (CS Imaging, Sensei) competing with Astra across both hardware resale and practice-side imaging software — broader portfolio than Astra but overlap in target customers.
