CareStack is a cloud-based dental practice management software founded in 2015, designed to simplify dental practice operations, patient engagement, and business growth. It offers an all-in-one platform intended for dental practices of all sizes, from solo offices to large multi-location dental service organizations (DSOs). CareStack integrates scheduling, clinical, billing, patient communication, and analytics in a single unified system, enabling dental professionals to run their practices efficiently in a modern, digital-first environment. The company is headquartered in Orlando, Florida, and serves over 1,500 dental practices primarily in the United States with expanding international presence such as the UK.
CareStack was co-founded by Dr. Mark Huzyak, a dental practitioner with multiple successful dental groups, and Abihalash Krishna, a technologist. Finding existing solutions inadequate for busy dental practices, they built their proprietary cloud-based SaaS platform to replace legacy, clunky, expensive software solutions. Since its inception, the company has grown substantially, boasting over 775 employees with a 20% employee growth rate reported recently. Earnings estimates suggest about $155 million in annual revenue, reflecting explosive growth fueled by market demand for cloud dental software with integrated functions.
CareStack has raised approximately $146 million in multiple funding rounds to date. Notable investors include Accel Partners, Eight Roads, F-Prime Capital, SteadView Capital, and Delta Dental of California. The latest funding rounds include significant strategic investments like the corporate minority stakes from the Straumann Group in 2022, which also formed a commercial partnership to enhance CareStack's offerings and market reach. Although specific valuation figures remain unpublished, the substantial funding and growing revenue indicate strong market valuation and investor confidence.
CareStack acquired Airtel-backed Waybeo to strengthen patient-practitioner communication technology. The acquisition aims to broaden product capabilities in sectors outside healthcare such as real estate and insurance, indicating expansion beyond pure dental practice management. The partnership with Straumann Group also positions CareStack for greater international growth and enhanced clinical and business software integration.

CareStack emphasizes a client-centric and collaborative culture that values open dialogue with its user base to continuously improve the software. The company focuses on empowering dental practices to grow and provide excellent patient care through digital transformation. Reviews frequently highlight their responsive support teams and commitment to ease the workload for dental office staff. The leadership team includes both dental experts and technologists dedicated to pushing the dental software industry forward.
CareStack serves over 2,500 dental practices primarily in the U.S., ranging from single-location offices to large DSOs and dental startups. The company nurtures an active community via the "CareStack Champions" Facebook group and a partner program offering commission opportunities. Users appreciate the integrated platform and ongoing support, though some mention minor challenges in initial onboarding and patient portal usability. The broad user base reflects the platform's scalability and versatility across dental practice segments.
