PracticeTek has spent five years buying the software that runs America's dentists, orthodontists, chiropractors and dermatologists. Now more than 40,000 practices log in through its brands - and most patients never learn its name.
Sikka.ai is a San Jose-based AI and API platform for the retail healthcare market - dentistry, veterinary, optometry, audiology, chiropractic and more. Its ONE API connects to over 400 practice management systems and roughly 96% of the market, giving developers and practices a single integration point to pull patient data, post payments, and tap 300+ KPIs. Built on de-identified data from tens of thousands of practices over two decades, Sikka also ships practice-facing analytics (Optimizer) and DentalLLM, a dental-specific large language model. Founded in 2004 by Vijay Sikka, the company processes large transaction volumes daily across more than 35,000 practice installations.
