LD Linden D. C.E.O. - Lead Dentist Mental Health Care ### "XL Dent user since 2005" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 February 26, 2022 No previous history of using another software, but did try some other competitors and over all we are satisfied. If you take that special someone to the prom, then you should dance with them the whole night, versus ditching them for a new partner. It looks green on the other side until, your on the other side. Pros For the most part it is easy for our office to use Cons Sometime after you use the product and get use to its limitations for your specific use, you create "work arounds" to make it fit what you need. Then you can loose that "work around" option when they do their Updates. Reasons for choosing XLDent When we were selecting products, XLDent was the one that best used the external scanning of phosphorus plates (which were much more like regular X-rays - ease of use), less fear of damage of digital sensors (which are thicker and have wires that could be damaged), and the phosphorus plate system was the better option financially versus digital sensors.

Pros Customizability in many modules of the software. The appointment book is easy to manage patient appointments/coordination and the charting feature allows customized templates for efficiency and accuracy. Cons Separates business transactions from clinical. Inefficient to jumping back and forth. Tooth charting lacks detail with partials.

Dentist/Owner Hospital & Health Care ### "Software developers need to design with a client as part of the process," 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 3/10 February 4, 2022 Will start to look at other dental software in the next 3 years after my initial investment has been captured. If the software suite is improved (especially daily chart entries), I may stay. Not a big fan of click and drag. There is waaaaay too much setup involved and it is not as easy to make variances. Since I type rapidly, I have taken to typing each chart record in its entirety. Also, click and drag is slower for me than just typing. Boo yak on this module. Pros Chart view and appointment view. I also like the practice account reporting. Cons Daily dental chart records module. It is abysmal. Reasons for choosing XLDent I don’t like the tie in to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] and \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] with the aforementioned.

Pros As a brand new business and the only emr system we have used it seems to do what we need it too. We aren't really sure what we are missing out on because we have nothing to compare it too. I do like that they do regular updates and added the XL connect feature. The scheduling system is sufficient the and dentist has no complaints on his end. Cons We wish we could custom the schedule more to show age and insurance type of the appointment that is scheduled since that affects how we schedule our patients. I also wish there was a way to check a patient out with closing out the chart so the doctor can get back in.
