Early customers save 1.5 hours daily per provider and see +22% case acceptance
Avora, an AI-powered platform that streamlines clinical documentation and helps DSOs improve case acceptance, today announced a $2.3 million seed round. The investment was led by CRV, with participation from Y Combinator and scouts from Sequoia and Thrive.
The funding follows rapid adoption and growth, with hundreds of dental practices and DSOs deploying Avora since its launch earlier this year. The company’s revenue has grown 10x in the past year.
Dental providers face significant documentation burdens, often dedicating hours each day to clinical notes, perio charting, and treatment plan management. Avora addresses these challenges by automatically drafting accurate clinical documentation directly within existing practice management systems. The platform also provides real-time coaching, ensuring consistent and high-quality patient interactions that support case acceptance.
Early results from leading dental groups using Avora:
-
- 18–25% increases in case acceptance rates
- Up to 1.5 hours saved per provider each day on documentation tasks
- $80k in reactivated treatment from stale treatment plans
“We were amazed by how easily our teams adopted Avora. Within weeks, over 70% of our patient interactions ran through the platform, saving dozens of hours each week. We can’t imagine going back.”— Tammy Kevin, COO, Keystone Dental Partners
Avora’s team previously built voice AI and large-scale infrastructure at leading tech companies, including Ramp, Wispr AI, Cloudflare, and Infinitus Systems.
“Danny and Justin have built AI products at some of tech’s fastest-scaling companies,” said Brittany Walker, General Partner at CRV. “They’ve brought that expertise to dentistry, delivering real results. It’s clear this team knows how to build products people actually use.”
