Multi-site support allows users to set up unlimited physical practice locations, with separate schedules and reporting, and the ability to share patient records.

Pros
The software is user friendly and I love being able to request features to be added. Also, if I run into an issue, tech support is extremely helpful and eager to resolve the problem.
What I like most about Dentrix Ascend is that it is easy to use, web based so I can access the program anytime. They have a very good resource and support center to answer any questions I have.
The software is good and I like the product. It’s everything else that goes with it.
Cons
This software does a poor job keeping track of overdue balances. This is something EASY to fix with automatic finance charges if patients do not pay.
The accounting portion was terribly difficult to navigate. Not at ALL user friendly.
On the schedule if you accidentally click a random time slot it jumps to make an appointment. It just seems sensitive to clicking.

Love Dentrix Ascend

Reviewed 3 years ago
Pros

* Software updates happen automatically at night when we're out of the office do it does not interrupt our work day. * Being able to put in down grades is a huge help * Very user friendly

Cons

* Certain things are not as customizable as we would like ie: patient forms, text message communications * Would love more options on insurance coverage * When you change an address or phone number there should be an option to apply it to everyone listed on the account. It is very time consuming to change it on every single family member, especially when there's like 8 people. * Switching primary and secondary insurance is very difficult and time consuming

Don’t Sign Up For Their Plan-Crooks!! ZERO Customer Service

Reviewed 3 years ago

Horrible!!!! Zero Customer service when you ask them to stop over billing you and they owe you money. Help is nowhere to be had, avoid at all costs!

Pros

The software is good and I like the product. It’s everything else that goes with it. I made the mistake of doing automatic payments. They frequently double billed me!! Did they tell me? No, I figured it out. The worst part was trying to get refunded. It took months!!! First they issued a check to the wrong name (not mine) and then took 2 more months to issue another check. Please tell me why they couldn’t...

Cons

That I find out now, they were charging me 370$ and you can get plans for 100$ cheaper. (I had a very small office by the way....atypically small) Basically everything I mentioned before. Over billing and taking forever to get refunded, horrible customer service-they treat you badly and are only available short hours for monetary issues. They purposely hang up on you and avoid calls. They gladly take your money automatically but never refund that way taking months by way of wrongly written checks -repeatedly they’ve done this to me. They don’t care and no matter how good the product is, it is not worth it!!!! AVOID!! Unless you like being robbed and abused🤷‍♀️

Vendor response

Feedback

Reviewed 3 years ago

Overall we switched because we were trying to access all patients from all locations and switching to this software has allowed us to do that.

Pros

I love that we can login with ease from anywhere, it allows us to look at charts and complete tasks from any location. I also love the dashboard, it shows what claims need to be worked on and helps keep the team on track.

Cons

The clinical team has not been happy with the way the chart is and when you are placing the treatment and existing treatment in.

Great Patient Management Software

Reviewed 3 years ago

The software has done exactly what we need and they continually are releasing new features that make the software more reliable. I love that it is all cloud based and we don't need a local server.

Pros

One of the most intuitive user interfaces of any dental software that I have seen. Great functionality and reporting tools.

Cons

Like any big brand software, feature requests take quite a while to be implemented, if ever.
