Giving buying power back to dental practices.

AI/ML

About

Ivory starts as an AI native inventory platform connected to dentists’ patient management software.

Product

Ivory automates dental supply purchasing for single practitioners, handling cart building, order placement, and live inventory tracking. As the network grows, Ivory aggregates purchasing data across practitioners and uses collective buying power to negotiate lower prices with distributors like Patterson Dental. Solo practices get the same pricing leverage that large dental groups already enjoy.
