Imagine your orthodontist managing a long-term case where a patient gets braces and comes in for monthly adjustments. You're no longer manually calculating bonuses on paper. When a general dentist completes a complex restoration or performs an extraction, the data instantly flows into the payroll. You clearly see the net profit after deducting anesthesia and x-rays, and your doctors are always confident in the transparency of their earnings for the work stages actually completed.
Dental treatment often requires multiple visits. Without reminders, patients postpone the next appointment, their condition worsens — and they switch providers.
Scheduling, rescheduling, confirmations, inquiries — the receptionist spends all day on the phone instead of greeting patients and coordinating the practice.
In dental practice, salary calculation often becomes a complex equation due to the significant duration of treatment. When a patient begins complex orthodontics or prepares for implant placement, the process often stretches over months. If the clinic uses a multi-stage treatment plan, it's crucial to clearly delineate which portion of the payment belongs to the doctor for today's stage, and which remains on the clinic's balance for material procurement or payment for dental lab services.
The problem with manual accounting is that an administrator might forget to factor in used anesthesia or an additional x-ray, leading to financial discrepancies. Automation allows you to configure percentage deductions only after a specific procedure, such as a root canal, is closed in the patient's medical chart. This ensures fair compensation: the doctor receives payment for the actual volume of work performed, not for the total amount the patient paid as a prepayment for treatment. This approach eliminates internal conflicts and makes accounting transparent.
Special attention should be paid to the recall system for hygiene every 6 months. When a patient returns for a hygienist check-up at your reminder, the system automatically identifies which doctors performed previous cavity fillings or placed restorations. This allows for the implementation of a bonus system for client retention and quality prevention. Thus, the clinic owner gains a tool that not only calculates money but also incentivizes doctors to adhere to visit sequences and monitor the patient's condition at every stage.
Three day-to-day moments where the difference is obvious.
Dental treatment often requires multiple visits. Without reminders, patients postpone the next appointment, their condition worsens — and they switch providers.
Set personal percentages for endodontists or fixed amounts for each filling placed, depending on the complexity category.
Doctor payroll calculated automatically — commission, base rate

Yes. Starta adapts to the specifics of your industry — from services and pricing to payroll and analytics. The AI takes dental practice workflows into account and helps you get the most out of salary management.
Payroll calculation is available in Starta.one Pro — with no limits on the number of employees or scheme complexity.
Yes — this is one of the key advantages. Every specialist in the mobile app sees: 'today: X orders, $Y earned', 'this week: $Z', 'this month: $A (on track for $B target)'. You control what information each role can see (you can, for example, hide total revenue from specialists and show only their salary portion).
Yes. For each specialist, rates are configured separately by service category (40% for a haircut, 35% for colouring, 30% for a children's haircut), by shift (different rate for day vs night), by client type (premium for working with VIP clients). You can combine: shift rate + service commission + product sales bonuses + fixed premiums for specific goals.
AI does two things: 1) **Tells you who's due for a rate review** — every quarter it analyses each specialist's metrics (utilisation, client retention, revenue, margin) and recommends who to move to a premium scheme (raise to retain) or proactively start a conversation about terms before the specialist starts negotiating; 2) **Calculates the economics of a raise** — when a specialist asks for +5% (or AI suggests it), AI calculates specific numbers: '+$75/month salary, margin −$75/month, breaks even at 8+ months given the risk of the specialist leaving to a competitor.' You make decisions on numbers, not emotion.
