ABOUT

Dental charting holds far more value than the systems around it currently unlock.

Every diagnosis, treatment plan, and patient conversation begins with a chart. Charting captures the clinical truth of whats happening in a patients mouth and sets the direction for the care they receive.

Yet the process of creating and deriving value from that chart remains one of the most inefficient parts of modern dentistry.

Manifesto

Orva exists to make dental charting effortless for clinicians and valuable for patients.

For many patients and clinicians, a dental appointment is a stressful experience. Patients arrive anxious about what the clinician might find. Clinicians work through legacy software and full schedules while trying to diagnose, chart findings, and explain treatment clearly.


The chart sits at the centre of this interaction. Dentists know the value in optimising charting is largely untapped. We believe the same.


Every “can you repeat that,” every “is an assistant available”, every clinician task switching, every click and type is a tax paid in time, mental load, and patient focus. It punishes the people who can least afford friction: clinicians managing tight appointment windows and trying to keep procedures moving smoothly.


Our primary focus is to enable clinicians to speak freely and create dental charts. Not basic notes, dental charts. Fixing this, sets us up to unlock more value across charting.


We sit between clinicians and their patient management systems to make the charting process feel seamless. We handle the information collection, and the input of the information accurately into any type of dental chart so that dental professionals can focus on patient care.


Our mission is simple: more time for clinicians and patients, less time on computers.


We are not here to replace our clinicians. We are here to return people to the work only people can do.

  • Clinicians can focus on diagnosis, education and patient interaction.

  • Patients deserve to be set up for better health outcomes.

  • Dental assistants can provide better chair-side support.


In the long run, this is more than just charting. Oral health is the foundation for better health outcomes. Our clinicians are burning out with labour shortages looming. When our clinicians burn out, society pays the cost in poorer health outcomes.


It’s time to help our clinicians and their patients.

Team

Our team brings a decade of combined experience building automations for management systems and being deeply embedded into how dentistry operates. We have won awards from Salesforce, Microsoft, OpenAI and few awards across Dentistry.

Akash (CEO) started Orva because he saw the stresses first hand on how legacy technology and the significant brain drain of clinical talent was affecting his partner (Erika) and healthcare in New Zealand.

The everyday clinician needs help with software that reduces admin, not creates more of it. This shapes every decision we make.
