Revolutionizing the industry, today’s dental practice software is packed with time-saving features designed to streamline your administrative and record-keeping activities, leaving more time for you to interact with patients.
Choosing dental practice software needn’t be a difficult task if you analyze your basic needs and resist the temptation to spend thousands of dollars on features you'll never use. Even the smallest practice can benefit from appointment tracking and payment-entry dentist office programs but intricate networking add-ons may gather dust in rural practices.
Resist high-pressured dental software salespersons by arming yourself with comparative reviews and knowing your long-term needs. Since dental software is a substantial investment, it pays to check out the programs before you buy. The most requested features in dental practice software include:
Set appointments with ease
The more patients you see in a day, the more profit you will realize if your charges are an accurate reflection of your overhead costs, wages and projected profit margin. The best in dental office software programs include the ability to allot units of time needed to complete specific procedures and schedule patients accordingly.
I recommend: Configure the time it takes you to perform a simple extraction, enter it into
Data Team DDS and the next time your receptionist schedules an extraction the program will automatically remember. Download a
demo to try it firsthand.
AlphaDent concentrates on user-friendly dental software that additional providers in your office can use.
Track charges with dental billing software
When you see dozens of patients in a day, it's imperative that each one is billed accurately. Dental billing software, networked between examination rooms and the front desk, assures accuracy and allows the office manager to print the patient's bill history in an instant. Without paper logs to lose and time spent gathering documentation, your receptionist will type in the patient's name and pull up a complete history plus today's charges.
I recommend: Provide your patients with immediate reports, statements and dental estimates at the touch of a button with
Diamond Dental Software and take advantage of
e-billing through an online provider. Minimize your office staff by partnering with
Dentisoft Technologies to store your records online while allowing patients to log in to their accounts from home.
Store x-rays using dental software
New perio-charting dental software allows you to upload patient x-rays and store them for future reference. You can also transfer photographs documenting dental work and before and after pictures. By eliminating the need to store massive paper records, your dental office space can be used for additional examination purposes.
I recommend: Perfectbyte offers patient charting features and a free demo for their
dentist software and for their
orthodontic version. Adstra dental software creates precise
dental treatment plans, individualized by patient needs.
