Problem
Dental practices often lack a systematic method to translate hourly rates, material costs, and procedure times into transparent, legally compliant treatment fees, resulting in opaque pricing and uncertain profitability.
Solution
CalcuDent delivers a browser‑based pricing engine that ingests a practice’s hourly fee, material expenses, and estimated treatment duration to compute individualized GOZ‑based cost proposals. The platform stores practice master data centrally, eliminating duplicate entry and enabling rapid recalculation when rates change. It automatically generates patient‑facing fee agreements that conform to §28 SGB V, §8 BMZVZ, and §2.1 GOZ requirements. Built on a SaaS model, the service runs on any modern operating system without local installation, with data hosted in Europe, daily backups, and multi‑tenant isolation. Integrated analytics highlight profitable versus deficit‑generating services, supporting strategic pricing adjustments and enhancing financial planning. The resulting transparent agreements can be displayed with the CalcuDent trust badge, strengthening the dentist‑patient relationship.
Target Audience
The primary customers are independent dental practices and dental clinics seeking to optimize treatment pricing, ensure regulatory compliance, and improve financial transparency with their patients.
