    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.

    Truly love and appreciate the templets that we can use to send out office specific emails - Also the openings on a schedule notifications are great to get the schedule full - we use it daily!

    Carestream Dental
    • Scheduling - the schedule is easy to read and color code by procedure, doctor, or patient status.
    • Imaging - we also implement Kodak Imaging through PW and it is great.
    • Overall layout is easy to use.

    Cons
    Carestream Dental
    • The patient handouts such as treatment plans and billing are very outdated looking.
    • Buggy at times
    • Marketing is behind the times. It is very difficult to run email lists for targeted procedures and no way to send an email blast from PW directly.

    • The overall cost for the basic is great, it is all the extras that make it more expensive - we have a few locations so it is not horrible and we use what we pay for to the fullest.
    • The only real down fall is the time lapse - it pulls every 30 minutes from the server, I wish it was more real time as sometimes we have an opening that has already been filled and someone still gets a notification of an opening
    • We can only text so many words to a patient in response or trying to send a notice - which isn't that big of a downfall.

    Alternatives Considered
    Carestream Dental
    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.

    Lighthouse does not offer as many features as NexHealth which is why we are making the switch to NexHealth currently. Solutionreach was not as good as Lighthouse.
