Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: February 2025
Short version: We may earn commissions when you click links to dental software vendors and request a demo or purchase. This does not affect our review scores, rankings, or editorial opinions. We recommend software based on merit, not affiliate relationships.
Who We Are
DentalSoftwareGuide.com is an independent website that reviews and compares dental practice management software. We are not owned by, funded by, or affiliated with any dental software company in an equity or ownership capacity.
How We Make Money
This website participates in affiliate referral programs. When you click a link to a vendor's website and subsequently request a product demo or make a purchase, we may receive a referral fee from that vendor at no additional cost to you.
Our current affiliate partnerships include:
- ✓Curve Dental — We may earn a commission when practices request a demo through our affiliate links.
- ✓tab32 — We may earn a commission when practices request a demo through our affiliate links.
Affiliate links are identified with rel="sponsored" in our HTML, consistent with FTC guidelines. We also label affiliate partners visually with "Affiliate Partner" or "Partner" badges on relevant pages.
How This Affects Our Reviews
It doesn't — or more precisely, we don't let it. Our review methodology applies the same evaluation criteria to every platform we cover, regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship. If Curve Dental or tab32 deserves a lower score on any criterion than a non-affiliate competitor, that score is published as-is.
We chose to partner with Curve Dental and tab32 because we independently assessed them as among the best options for our target audience (1–5 doctor private practices). We did not choose our editorial opinions to match our affiliate relationships.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 C.F.R. Part 255), we disclose that links to vendor websites may be affiliate links from which we receive compensation.
