tab32 launches Alpine with 17 agentic AI agents for dental practices

By Grace Kim

tab32 launched Alpine with 17 agentic AI agents for independent dental practices and new practice owners in the United States, pricing the core platform at $95 per location per month.

Kiltesh Patel, CEO of tab32, said:

“Practice management software is sold like enterprise software to people running a four-chair office: demo, quote, contract, implementation fee. We put every price on the website and opened the door. If Alpine is as good as we think it is, a dentist will find that out in fourteen days without talking to us.”

What is Alpine?

tab32 describes Alpine as a cloud-based practice management platform with embedded artificial intelligence. It serves independent practices and new practice owners in the United States.

The product combines traditional practice management with 17 agentic AI agents capable of completing operational tasks under staff-defined controls. Alpine maintains a unified system of record for scheduling, patient charts, imaging, ledgers and insurance claims.

Alpine’s interface supports treatment planning, patient forms, billing, reporting and other daily workflows. tab32 also lists assisted clinical notes, voice-based periodontal charting and automated insurance eligibility checks among its embedded AI functions.

The platform can generate claim remarks, post electronic and paper explanations of benefits and draft insurance appeals. The practical result is one platform for core records, daily workflows and selected AI tasks.

What can the 17 agents do?

tab32 organizes the agent layer around five operational priorities:

• Filling schedules
• Increasing production
• Retaining patients
• Protecting the practice
• Managing daily operations

Across those priorities, Alpine covers:

• Scheduling and capacity: appointment confirmations, no-show follow-up, cancellation backfilling and waitlist management.
• Patient retention and treatment: hygiene recalls, unscheduled treatment outreach, patient reactivation and postoperative check-ins.
• Insurance and administration: insurance benefit reminders, coverage verification, morning huddle materials and end-of-day summaries.

Unlike systems limited to automated reminders, Alpine can interpret patient responses, find available appointment times, propose options, book the selected time and record it in the practice system, tab32 said.

Practices can create recurring agents or give objectives in plain language, such as filling a particular schedule window. The agent layer goes beyond reminders because it can complete and record approved actions.

How are agents controlled?

Every agent starts in approval mode, allowing staff to review proposed communications and actions before proceeding. Staff can then authorize an individual agent to perform specific tasks and withdraw that authority at any time.

tab32 said agents cannot charge patients, process refunds or transfer money. Every agent action is recorded in the practice’s audit trail.

Practices set the autonomy level, while the platform blocks three forms of money movement.

What does Alpine cost?

tab32 listed $95 per location per month for practice management and imaging, with unlimited users and providers. Agent subscriptions start at $25 per agent per month.

Additional AI and usage-based services carry separate published pricing. Alpine has no contracts, setup fees or first-year price increases, matching Patel’s website-first pitch.

The $95 tier covers practice management and imaging without a contract or setup fee.

How quickly can a practice start?

Practices can access Alpine through a 14-day sandbox trial with sample data and $5 of included AI usage. tab32 said users need no payment method or sales demonstration.

New practices can begin using the platform on the same day. Established practices can migrate through a weekend cutover process that typically takes two to four weeks.

Dentists can test sample-data workflows before choosing a migration plan.

What security and scale does tab32 claim?

tab32 said Alpine is HIPAA and SOC 2 compliant, uses encryption in transit and at rest, includes a Business Associate Agreement and maintains a complete audit log.

The company currently serves more than 1,500 dental clinics and 3,000 providers, and processes over $455 million in annual collections.

tab32’s next commercial test is whether that network of more than 1,500 clinics will add agent subscriptions at $25 per agent per month. Agents remain barred from charging patients, processing refunds and transferring money.
