EagleSoft is a dental practice management software from the established Patterson Dental, featuring front desk administrative features (e.g. scheduling), billing, document management, and imaging, among other features.
PracticeWorks is best suited for a smaller office who wants easy to use software without a lot of bells and whistles. It is very user friendly but is limited with customization options. There are better software systems for an office that wants to incorporate extensive marketing with the software. Overall it is easy to use.
Eaglesoft is well-suited for a general dental practice. It allows all patient records to be housed under a single program, with buttons to access various components of the patient's chart. Radiographic images are taken and imported into the software, so there is no need to use additional software for patient images. I can't say whether this software would be well-suited for a specialty office.
The integrated email client has very limited Outlook compatibility, which means any Email Encryption Add-on will not load. Make sure you have a fully compatible Outlook if this is the case.
Patterson support has a long hold time, and doesn't deliver the best support around
The database must be stopped when you do your backup, which can be inconvenient and disallows hourly backup plans
If you are on a Domain, then each PC needs to be set up multiple times, depending on how many users will be using that PC. This can add to the setup
We evaluated Dentrix at the time of purchase. At that time PracticeWorks had bought out our software vendor. We chose to go with Practice Works since they would get a better conversion of our current patients. As time has passed, we have been told Dentrix has more customization options.
