Managing a dental practice’s clinical, business, financial, and administrative tasks can feel like juggling one too many balls at the same time. Yet amid the hustle and bustle of regular patient care, maintaining control and order in these front and back office operations is essential for practice efficiency and overall success.
To better facilitate this common balancing act, Dentrix and Dentrix Ascend from Henry Schein One streamline, automate, and integrate workflows to help practices save time, improve data flow and communication, increase profitability, and ultimately, deliver topnotch patient care.
Ensure Day-to-Day Efficiency
Dentrix Ascend is designed as a centralized hub that enables efficient day-to-day practice management, allowing users to customize daily to-do lists, monitor business and financial metrics, submit and track insurance claims, create treatment plans, access important patient data across practice locations, and more.
“Dentrix Ascend has a feature called Quick Exam, which allows me to click on a tooth and start typing in a diagnosis,” said Amanda Bell, office manager at Bell Family Dentistry in Riverbank, CA. “From there, I attach our preferred code, and it is automatically sent over to the Treatment Planner—it’s just that fast.”
The software also affords 2way text messaging with patients, online appointment scheduling and confirmation, and sending digital billing statements. Collectively, these benefits can lead to more productive and profitable dental practices by simplifying operations and enhancing the patient experience before, during, and after their dental office visits.
Integrated Solutions with Artificial Intelligence
Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI), the Dentrix platform offers integrated solutions that help clinicians provide better patient care while increasing efficiency.
For example, Detect AI, powered and manufactured by VideaHealth, uses AI to enhance x-ray scans with AI enabled carious lesion detections and radiographic bone level (RBL) measurements. It works seamlessly within the imaging workflow—as soon as doctors open images to view them within the patient chart, AI analyzes them at the same time and displays the results within just a few seconds.
“It instantaneously evaluates my radiographs, prompting me to take a closer look in the mouth,” said Richard Hagstrom, DDS. “It grabs my eye and directs me to look more closely at particular areas.”
Additionally, Dentrix Voice, powered by Bola AI, uses affordable recording devices and advanced AI to seamlessly capture dictated perio results, as well as clinical notes and other essential office correspondence with 99.9% accuracy. This reduces the time, costs, and errors associated with manual data entry, while maximizing safety and patient care.
