Orion (orionths.com) is an AI orchestration layer for dental practices. Practices run five to seven disconnected software tools — practice management systems, marketing platforms, billing, imaging — with no intelligence connecting them. The result is a permanent operational leak: industry-wide, more than a third of inbound calls go unanswered, and most missed callers never leave a voicemail or call back. Orion sits above the practice's existing stack, unifies its data in real time, and acts on it: answering and recovering missed calls, booking appointments, running recalls, and writing the results back into the practice's system of record.
Product. Four modules on one platform: an AI Growth Engine (patient acquisition, lead scoring, booking optimization), Comms Autopilot (multi-channel AI outreach across SMS, voice, and email that recovers missed revenue), Predictive Insights (unified analytics across PMS, CRM, and financial data — a full practice snapshot in 90 seconds), and Galaxy AI (a natural-language interface built on a dental-specialized model). What sets Orion apart is patent-pending agentic write-back: rather than producing read-only reports about what leaked, Orion executes bounded actions — book, recall, confirm — inside the practice management system itself. It works with the systems practices already use (Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Carestream, 50+ integrations), with zero migration and zero disruption to existing workflows.
Customers and business model. Our customers are US dental practices, from single-location offices to multispecialty groups. Orion is sold as a monthly software subscription priced as a fraction of the cost of the front-desk labor it augments, with expansion modules as practices grow into the platform. The product was not built in a lab: it was built inside a working dental practice and proven on a live schedule with real patients before it was ever sold. At Omega Dental, the founder's own multispecialty practice, Orion took missed calls from 21% to 0%, grew monthly production 11%, and cut marketing spend by two-thirds — results verified in the practice management system, not a pilot report. Today Orion is live and billing across 10 paying practices, all at full list price, with zero churn to date.
Team. Orion is built by the people who lived the problem. Pedram Bohluli, DDS, MS, PhD (CEO & Co-Founder) is a Columbia-trained endodontist with a PhD in biomedical engineering and 20+ years of clinical practice; he owns and manages two multispecialty clinics, where Orion was first built and deployed. Jose Allende (CTO & Co-Founder) is a Fortune 50 solution architect and AI principal (IBM, via the Neudesic acquisition) who has built production-grade AI for BP, Nestlé, and Pfizer, with deep expertise in regulated-environment AI. Shahram (Sam) Bohluli, PhD (Co-Founder, Operations) brings 30+ years of operations and business management. Advisors include Steven Cowan (25+ years in capital markets and M&A, $15B+ in transactions) and Marco Cortez (security and healthcare-data compliance).
