Pros

“I like the insurance portion where you can add in any past benefits used and any other notes such as no coverage for certain things.”
JP

Jessica P.

Dental Assistant

“It gives me many opportunities to look up patients chart easily.”
KM

Koe M.

Receptionist

“charting - wish that you could still have the tabs but have the diagram show all of what is treatment planned.”
TL

Theresa L.

Office Manager

Pros

“This software has everything my practice needs - it's the only thing we use, and it incorporates digital radiographs as well. ”
SC

Suzanne C.

Dentist

“What truly stands out is their pleasant and responsive support team. Whenever we have questions or run into challenges, they provide clear solutions in a timely manner, making it easy to keep our workflow moving without unnecessary delays.”

Wesley G.

CEO

Cons

“Sometimes there are outages and updates that take a while to apply during business hours.”
TK

Tom K.

Manager

“It's impossible to reach the billing department. If you call (and it's not a product demo or purchase) you get directed to leave a voicemail and in my experience I didn't get a response for 24 hours (but suddenly did after saying I'd be writing about my experience on social media). If you update your credit card online, you are automatically charged in US dollars.”
SD

Shannon D.

Owner

“Cost was very high and they charged for everything on top of the monthly fee if you needed to add a Dr. to the practice and have an extra user there was a cost.”
CG

Cari G.

Office Manager

Cons

“We could not get all the info to convert into ONE. ”
