We schedule patients, keep track of patient and family records, we upload x-rays to Dentrix and also save a lot of time because we do not have to use paper any more to track our patient information. We upload health history forms. The problem that it helps with is making sure all our patients' information is safe and secure.

Dentrix has been in use for our company since we moved away from HealthProXL back in 2017. Dentrix allowed us to convert all of our pre-existing paper records into scanned documents that were saved within the Dentrix EMR system.

Patient care wise, Dentrix has provided all the basic capabilities to provide successful patient care along with their great technical support. Being that I'm in IT, I don't handle the patient care aspect, but I support our dental staff who provides the patient care. Dentrix support is excellent to work with, they understand the problems and detail what they are going to resolve the problems.

Dentrix G7 has allowed us to have a greater EMR system setup than the first EMR and paper records combination.

It is being used by all of dental in our organization. No problems at all and it can be accessed from any clinics, it is easy to use, web based so I can access the program anytime and anywhere, line-item accounting is awesome, some user-defined reports, everything is backed up in the cloud. You can see all our locations by permission and there are multiple ways to navigate patient records. The treatment planner could use some improvement

Dentrix is used across our entire organization as the dental electronic medical record of choice. While we are an Epic shop in general, Dentrix seemed to better fit our current needs for our dental specialty. Our dentists chose this over "Wisdom"(Epic's module), due to maturity of that module at the time.

We use Dentrix throughout our whole office. Dentrix offers tools that assist us in all areas of our practice, that includes tools for the front desk, clinical work, and business areas. Dentrix features a lot of tools to make scheduling patients’ appointments seamless and easy!! It can also be used to manage claims and multiple other billing tasks.

I built my network and my first version of Dentrix by myself in 1995 back when it was a separately owned company from Utah. Not something I'd recommend these days as Windows Server security and complexity is vastly more complicated than NT 4.0 server in 1995. Support has gone down since Henry Schein bought Dentrix. They outsource support to India or some other foreign country in that region. It's a crap shoot when you call level 1 support whether you get someone who can actually understand your question and knows how to fix the problem. It we don't get a good level 1 support tech we ask for at least a level 3 tech based in the United States. These people always understand English well and are usually very competent. If they can't fix the problem they'll kick it up to the highest level, level 4 support and they usually get the problem fixed. I almost installed Patterson Dental Eaglesoft a couple of years ago because of their built-in word processor and ease of sending nice snail mail to patients but their tooth chart is from the Stone Age compared to Dentrix' tooth chart and charting capabilities.
