Dentist. Innovator. Creator of PractCom.
Cary H. Ganz, D.D.S. is a distinguished prosthodontist, educator, author, consultant, dental technology leader, and CEO/Creator of PractCom — a modern communication platform designed to help dental practices deliver, organize, track, and document patient communications.
Prosthodontist, dental innovator, lecturer, author, and creator of PractCom.
Built by a dentist for dentists.
PractCom was created by Dr. Cary Ganz to solve one of the most persistent problems in dentistry: how to communicate clearly, consistently, and professionally with patients before and after treatment.
After more than 50 years in clinical dentistry, prosthodontics, implants, laser dentistry, digital dentistry, and dental technology leadership, Dr. Ganz developed PractCom as a practical solution for the communication, documentation, and follow-up challenges dental offices face every day.
PractCom is designed to become the communication backbone of the modern dental office.
PractCom helps dental practices deliver, organize, track, and document the critical information patients need — from post-treatment instructions and informed consents to medication instructions, referrals, emergency information, and patient-accessible documents.
It was built to help practices reduce repetitive phone calls, improve consistency, strengthen documentation, support patient understanding, and create a more professional communication experience from the front desk to the treatment room.
Practices can provide clear written instructions after procedures, helping patients understand what to expect, what to avoid, and when to contact the office.
PractCom helps offices deliver and document important consent information so patients are better informed before treatment.
Dental teams can provide patient-friendly medication instructions that support safer, clearer communication after treatment.
Patients can access their assigned documents 24/7/365, including post-op instructions, consents, med cards, referrals, and other practice documents.
PractCom supports multilingual patient communication, helping practices better serve diverse patient populations.
PractCom supports outbound and inbound referral workflows, helping practices organize specialist communication and referral follow-up.
Documents can be delivered in the ways patients actually use — by email, text, or print — improving communication at checkout and after the visit.
PractCom supports better office documentation by helping practices know what was sent, when it was sent, and how it was delivered.
By standardizing patient communication, PractCom helps reduce repetitive questions, front desk burden, and avoidable confusion after treatment.
