### "Highly effective dental software"

July 18, 2021

5.0

We love the options to bundle services and the services just keep improving in their features offered.

Pros

So many features not even sure we use to full capacity yet. Helpful customer service when you get a knowledgeable person. Sales reps have excellent response time, etc.

Cons

Since Covid customer service wait times are way to long.

Reason for choosing Dentrix Enterprise

Ascend is not really fully developed.

### "Dentrix Enterprise"

April 13, 2022

5.0

Excellent software for the price. The support is not the best, but the software is reliable and simple to use.

Pros

Easy and user friendly. Easy to train staff with. User-interface is simple and not complicated. Billing and creation of claims is easiest on this platform.

Cons

Confirmation/reminders and all communications with clients is unreliable. We have contracted with a third party company to ensure proper delivery.

It worked well when and for the time period we needed it to.

Pros

### "Perfect for multiple offices"

April 18, 2017

5.0

When we went from one practice to the second practice it became obvious to me that we needed something different then the ability to remote into the other offices computer to see what the numbers were for the day. We were beginning to lose touch with the new office. We looked for multiple solutions to our problem and demoed multiple software packages. After finding Enterprise, there was not a close second. Its ability to jump from clinic to clinic was amazing. The reporting gave us the solution we were looking for. I wanted something that put as much emphasis on the business of dentistry as it did dentistry itself. We now have the ability to stay macro and look at all our clinics (5) as a whole or, with the click of a button, drill down to the micro and find out what our areas of opportunity are with a single line item in a clinic. Without this software, we would not be in the place we are today and would not be looking to expand anymore.

Pros

The ability to jump from clinic to clinic as well as the reports that it allows you to pull out of the system.

Cons

The transition from core Dentrix to Enterprise is somewhat difficult for the clinic staff due to the "visual effects" not being there. This are in a little different place. But once they get used to the new placement, they appreciate the simplicity.

### "User for almost 10 years"

December 12, 2018

4.0

Great!

Pros

DXE is a great EHR for dental practices that are FQHC or have multiple sites. It has wonderful features and is user friendly. Their customer support is wonderful, easy to use and can even be accessed online via chat. User conference is great! I do wish there was more user groups to connect, but overall it is an amazing event to learn and expand knowledge of program.

Cons

Reporting is clunky at times, especially pulling UDS information. Wish updates were more frequent.

### "Our year with Dentrix."

January 14, 2020

5.0

Pros

The reports that available, the checks and balances to the system.

Cons

We have had a lot of difficulty in the year that we have had Dentrix, with our server. Main issue is that everything runs super slow, have had multiple technicians look and try to diagnose the situation. It had been rather frustrating. Another issue that we have had is that at implementation we were told that we were set up to run medical claims for procedures to be submitted to the patient's medical insurance. It took me 4 months to get everything figured out to do this. In fact we were not set up to submit the medical claims. That part is finally working for us, but with a lot of sweat equity. We do have a technician with Henry Schein that is going to work on our server in a couple of days. Hopefully things will get figured out.

### "Dental practice management software"

November 12, 2018

3.0

I do not currently use Dentrix Enterprise in my business because of the problems I encountered while I was an employee of an office that used it.

Pros

I like the accessibility of cloud based software, which is important for dental practices with more than one location.

Cons

The software had many glitches while I was a user. Many of the reports we would run didn't have accurate figures. We would run multiple reports to make sure the software would give the same result, but it always gave different figures. Since I was paid based on what I produced, the way the software inaccurately reported the numbers, it affected my pay. From a business owner's perspective, this could cause you to overpay contract employees. I also didn't like that you couldn't switch between views without losing your work. There wasn't an option to save a note unless it was completed and sometimes I had to go back to a different screen to verify information and return to my note and found that I had to start over.

### "Good tool, support, and value"

November 13, 2018

4.0

Pros

This hits everything our dental staff needs. Everyone likes the scheduling functionality, back office works well.

Cons

There is some nickle & diming going on with some of the meaningful use functionality, and the recommended training is almost always unnecessary. When interfaced with other systems, Dentrix itself is very frustrating and can't do many of the things that we need it to. There is little help from support staff, you are always told to enter an enhancement request which just sits for years with no forward traction.

### "Good option, but needs work"

September 20, 2018

4.0

Pros

Dentrix Enterprise was a step up from the previous version and allows for a little more variation of tasks.

Cons

It's pretty straightforward, but is very tedious when needing to make changes or run reports. It seems like there are a thousand steps to every task.

Features seem to become more and more user friendly with each upgrade. We appreciate that from a training and on boarding process.

### "Dental office review"

March 26, 2018

4.0

Pros

The ability to have multiple columns for multiple providers in fast paced dental office. We have over 50 users in our program and the ease of moving from one thing to the next is seamless. We are able to upload documents, create treatment plans, leave notes etc for clear communication for all parties.

Cons

It can be difficult to teach new hires as I feel like there a multiple steps to enter a new patient, find an appointment time etc. You are also not able to track what user schedules or moves an appointment.

### "Hard to use"

May 11, 2021

4.0

Pros

I do dental front office fill in and often am just thrown into my position with little training on the software. I have found that so many of the software systems are SO user friendly you can pretty well figure out how to use them just by clicking around. Most of the icons are very useful to quickly identify what you need or are looking for. This is great for a busy front desk.

Cons

I found Dentrix to one of the hardest software programs to just get dropped into. It just did not flow for me. I felt like I was always hunting for the icon I needed to click on to walk a patient out, draw up a treatment plan or print a scrip. I actually ask now when I do fill in what software the office uses and if they use Dentrix I don't fill in for them.
