We exist to fight for the independent voices in dentistry. The ones being drowned out by rising admin, growing pressure, and shrinking margins.
Our story
Arkos was born from a real challenge that every clinic owner struggles with. Denied claims. Discounted treatments. Phone lines that never stop ringing. Hours lost chasing insurance companies that seem designed to make you give up. We saw great care being delivered every day, yet clinics still struggled to grow. Not because of bad dentistry, but because of broken systems.
We built Arkos to fight back. Not with more staff or more paperwork, but with precision. With AI trained by clinics, for clinics. Technology that lifts the burden off your team and puts control back in your hands.
We exist to fight for the independent voices in dentistry. The ones being drowned out by admin overload, poor retention, and insurance tactics that quietly cost clinics hundreds of thousands every year. Every feature we’ve built is designed to reclaim your time, protect your revenue, and give your team the freedom to focus on what actually matters, your patients.
This isn’t just automation. It’s defense. And it’s long overdue.
Breaking down the AI barrier
As we've built Arkos a truth we've come to learn is when practicioners hear "AI" and "Agents" the often wince, imagining sky high cost and complex setup processes. We get it - traditional medical software is expensive, runnning from $10,000 - $100,000k a year and takes weeks to setup properly, putting great tools out of reach for many pratices.
However, the time and money lost isn't a one time thing, it adds up quickly - resulting in millions of dollars in revenue being lost, which affects each practice profoundly in the long run. Getting people up to par in chasing people down and handling insurance isn't a sure thing either, with attrition rates being high and burn out being a real factor with today's Gen-Z employee demographic
That's where Arkos comes in. We've made it our mission to make implementing backoffice AI automation affordable, consistent, and easy to manage. Our platform brings together cutting-edge foundational technology and the latest in interaction design in one intuitive place.
Our founders
Tim Kara
Co-founder & CEO
I grew up in and around dental clinics. My family members were office managers, and I saw early on how much time and energy was lost to things that had nothing to do with actual care. Denied insurance claims, missed calls, constant admin; all of it chipped away at the work clinics were trying to do. Later, I went into FinTech and built a career in the artificial intelligence space. I helped a company grow from a $100 million startup to a $4 billion business. But even while operating at that level, I kept thinking back to dentistry. The problems I saw growing up were still there. Still unsolved. After exiting that company, I decided to bring the two worlds together. AI and dentistry. Arkos is the result. A product built to solve real problems for clinics like the ones I knew growing up. This isn’t just a business for me, it's a chance to build a brighter tomorrow.

At my core, healthcare is my dream, and for the longest time finding the way to make something that could impact peoples lives - allow them to live longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives was my dream. Then in 2025, I met Tim - and was introduced to the world of dentistry. From then on my dream became a mission to build the tools that would help dentist lives easier and in turn make their patients' lives so much better And so Arkos was born - with the idea and passion to create amazing tools for dentist, allowing them to solve complex problems and help thousands of them navigate the most complex problems they face everyday - insurance and patient management
