Chose Dentrix
Dentrix seemed to be the best fit when we were small and only three practices. But now we are looking into other options like tab 32, the cloud-based system. We are looking into Dentrix Ascend because it is cloud-based and we are about to run out of space on our server. I think …
I used Patterson's Eaglesoft in a limited capacity at a previous health center job. On the back end, Eaglesoft was easier to setup, install, and manage than Dentrix. Backing up data files, migrating servers, was easier (but slower) on Eaglesoft than on Dentrix. Dentrix …
I love that the software is cloud based. Features are constantly being added and updated which I love. It is intuitive, especially for younger users who are familiar with using the internet/ computers. Scheduling and treatment planning is simple. Very easy to use and to …
I have previously used Eaglesoft and Easy Dental. I have found Dentrix to be very comparable to Eaglesoft, and myself and my team feel that it is relatively essay to use and seems to have a low learning curve for new members added to the team, at least in my experience.
We have worked with both Epic's Wisdom module and Dentrix independently. For us, Epic's platform was beneficial from an IT support standpoint as all other practices/specialties use Epic. Our dentists chose to use the Dentrix platform over Epic's due to specific functionality …
Unlike Cloud-based products, this is nice because it has the ability to have a back up in multiple locations; on and off-site. Sometimes, based on your computer stats, it can start to run slowly until the cache is cleared or old x-rays are deleted. This is avoided in a …
Lighthouse does not offer as many features as NexHealth which is why we are making the switch to NexHealth currently. Solutionreach was not as good as Lighthouse.
When I did use Solutionreach - they did not have as many functions as Lighthouse 360 like immediately sending out a text when we had a hygiene opening within 48 hours. And their templets were very limited to what we could change.
[Dentrix is] well suited for a busy practice like my own. Does require a significant up front investment. It was already in place when I purchased the practice from the previous owner. May not be suited for a smaller practice that would not find value in the upfront costs associated with it.
For a smaller practice that does not need a lot of customization it might be great, but for a bigger company that is focused on branding and adding extra bells and whistles, it is limited.
Easy to look up, edit, delete, break and make appointments. This is great when you're on the phone with someone and are able to quickly locate them in the system and see what appointments they have.
Easily make changes to providers information, colors or schedules. This is nice because we tend to have fill in hygienists and we can change their colors so it will not indicate the same colors as are our normal staff.
Easily print reports and deposits from the office manager. This helps us keep track of new patients, aging reports, unscheduled appointments, unscheduled treatment, continuing care appointments and so much more.
The overall cost for the basic is great, it is all the extras that make it more expensive - we have a few locations so it is not horrible and we use what we pay for to the fullest.
The only real down fall is the time lapse - it pulls every 30 minutes from the server, I wish it was more real time as sometimes we have an opening that has already been filled and someone still gets a notification of an opening
We can only text so many words to a patient in response or trying to send a notice - which isn't that big of a downfall.
We have used Dentrix support and they seem to be helpful. We are able to schedule meetings as needed within a short time frame, and are usually able to resolve any issues we may have within 1 or 2 calls. There doesn't seem to be as strong of a user community around Dentrix as there is with Epic.
I used Patterson's EagleSoft in a limited capacity at a previous health center job. On the back end, EagleSoft was easier to setup, install, and manage than Dentrix. Backing up data files, migrating servers, was easier (but slower) on EagleSoft than on Dentrix. Dentrix appears to have a greater feature capability/set than EagleSoft does. Both have excellent technical support that is responsive, indepth, and well suited to address IT related problems with both EMR systems.
