Dental Assistant Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "An Amazing Software " March 23, 2025 5.0 it simplify automated insurance claims and billing for an efficient dental practice. Pros It helped me in comprehensive dental practice management Cons For an app that enhances patient workflow, i have no regret using it. Review Source SS Sally S. Office manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dentrix reliable and easy to learn." December 29, 2023 5.0 We have been very happy with Dentrix overall - we have outsourced a few areas but other than that - 35 years and going strong! Pros I have been using Dentrix for 35 years and it has grown with the times and always remained easy to use with regular updates. Cons It would really help to have ortho maximums added/ with insurance codes used. Also if a patient is under 14 auto detect the prophy a child prophy. Fluoride has an age in coverage tables / dentrix should auto detect they do or don’t have coverage. Alternatives considered [Dentrix Ascend](https://www.capterra.com/p/177828/Dentrix-Ascend/)[Eaglesoft](https://www.capterra.com/p/60064/EagleSoft-13-00/) Reason for choosing Dentrix Overall the \[sensitive content hidden\] and team made the decision. We have more experience with Dentrix overall and Dexis for x-rays. Switched from [Fuse](https://www.capterra.com/p/230855/Fuse-Dental-Practice-Management-Software/) We were given a free 2 year beta testing With Fuse - however -their Reporting was poor. And with all the team having experience with Dentrix it was an easier decision. Review Source AO Angelika O. Assistant office manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Ehh there’s better" May 29, 2025 3.0 I would say my overall experience with denturists is fair definitely not. My favorite would probably not refer any other dental offices to that software. Pros I have to say it is hard to find something that I really do like about Dentrix. But if I were to pick something, I would have to say the ledger was fairly easy to read. Scheduling was also pretty convenient. Cons So many things that I can say that I like lease about Dentrix the ledger and reporting we’re not my favorite in particular with the reporting it’s just not user-friendly they take forever to load, and the ledger itself is just not user-friendly because you do not allocate payments to any procedures, so you really don’t know what the money was for unless you make a note within the payment, which is kind of cumbersome Review Source RT Roger T. DDs Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Powerful dental practice management software" September 20, 2022 5.0 It’s been great for our practice. Easy for everyone to use in the office with minimal training due to its intuitive use. Pros The scheduling of patients is very easy to use and manage. The ledger is easy to read And follow. The X-rays is fantastic. The software is very powerful. Cons There’s a lot of bells and whistles in the software that you may not need and that can slow down the use of it. So there’s not much not to dislike about it. Switched from [Eaglesoft](https://www.capterra.com/p/60064/EagleSoft-13-00/) Practice changed hands and Dentrix was the practice management software. Review Source mA mike A. dentist/owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dentrix dental software" April 20, 2023 5.0 Overall a great investment. It's worth the price. Pros It integrates well with all other practice systems and is easy to use. Cons I haven't found a weakness. But perhaps if I'm being picky I would say the cost is the only weakness. Reason for choosing Dentrix They were similar products which were priced similarly, but Dentrix is a bit more user friendly. Switched from [PBS Systems](https://www.capterra.com/p/2059/PBS-DMS/) I switched from PBS because we needed something more modern with more capabilities. Review Source John C. Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Support with an attitude, and a big bill" December 3, 2019 2.0 Good software when is running. Difficult to deal with technical issues. And very expensive. Not worth the price! Pros I like how Dentrix integrates all clinical aspects of the practice under one program Cons It is very expensive. Great marketing will have you believe you are buying the Cadillac of dental software. You must sign-up and pay monthly for technical support. They provide frequent updates, which never install smoothly. You are forced to call customer support. And they will talk to you with an attitude. Plan to spend a long time on-hold. And then a long time installing those updates. Very frustrating! Alternatives considered [Eaglesoft](https://www.capterra.com/p/60064/EagleSoft-13-00/) Reason for choosing Dentrix We were buying dental supplies from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]. Thought it would be a good idea to get the software through them too. Keep it all together. Not necessarily true. Dentrix and \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] act like two completely separate companies. No reason to stick to Dentrix if you already buy your supplies from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]. Review Source SJ Sarah J. EFDA, Administrator Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Just why..." April 11, 2023 3.0 I wish we could go back to Eaglesoft. I have been using Dentrix for 7-8 years. 7-8 frustrating years. Pros I don't think there is a category to like the most... Cons The "support" is useless. We have called and emailed for weeks trying to get help and have been brushed off and completely ignored.The software itself is unnecessarily overcomplicated Switched from [Eaglesoft](https://www.capterra.com/p/60064/EagleSoft-13-00/) Because it was supposed to make our lives easier. Insert eyeroll. Review Source SR Shayla R. Office Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Conversion is a pain!" October 28, 2022 2.0 Pros We are needing to convert from EasyDental to Dentrix as they are from \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] Cons Integration is turning out to be a headache! They want to charge for every little thing and didn't tell me about extra charges until right before! "oh by the way, document conversion is just another $860 on top of everything else...did you want to add that?" What????? Of course I wanted to add that! We have spent hours putting thousands of documents into the system, only to not have them convert????!!!! Why is this not included and why was I not told this in the beginning????? Not to mention I send and email, or ask a question and they take weeks to get back to me. Often only when I call them do they finally respond. Alternatives considered [Curve Dental](https://www.capterra.com/p/98688/Curve-Dental-Hero/) Reason for choosing Dentrix Because it supposedly was going to offer the same types of features Review Source Heather T. Billing and coding specialist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A very positive review on Dentrix impact on dental practice management" April 18, 2024 5.0 Overall, it has been a positive experience using Dentrix. It is very user friendly .The financial tools are very beneficial as well. It is an awesome program to be exact! Pros The most awesome thing about Dentrix that was super convenient was Dentrix ledger, it automatically calculates the insurance benefits and patient responsibility as well as patient bills. Cons Only problem I really encountered was occasional glitches' which slowed things down. Review Source Arnell P. Business Owner Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Not for the average user" November 9, 2017 2.0 I don't have to have paper charts or appointment book. Pros It's powerful for the front office. Has a lot of reports that can be generated. Customizable. Can enter time on procedure codes. Cons Not for the average user even if they go to training. The end user has to be computer savvy and has an exceptional attention to detail. Front office heavy. Treatment planner presentation is not adequate. eServices bundle includes stuff that's not needed or used. Inaccurate when it comes to continuing care data. Although customizable, software limits the characters for labeling on definitions such as Appointment Status. Too many data fields that are hidden or hard to find therefore, causes a lot of inadequate data entry due to confusing and busy display and fields. Unscheduled treatment plan reports does not show that patients have already appointed for some on the treatment list. Can't easily generate or create referral template unless the user also has advanced knowledge of MS Word. Clinical template creation is difficult. Lab manager is too clunky. eServices insurance verification is too clunky and glitchy. Could not generate a list of specific procedures attached to a patient's name. For example, list of patients with premolar and molar endo on their treatment plan. I have a Dentrix superuser on my team. We had to use mail merge for this. Procedure code appointment length customization is pointless since the software does not properly calculate clinician and assistant times when entering multiple procedures. Review Source CH Courtney H. Office manager Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great software for any Dental practice. " May 14, 2025 5.0 We have been using Dentrix for over 15 years now and Overall we have been very happy with Dentrix. Pros The Dental Practice management because it is a great system for scheduling patients, keeping patient records organized and billing. Cons There are some glitches with sending claims but its always an easy fix. Review Source MJ Maneesh J. Dentist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dentrix days a re counted unless they acquire a good Cloud product" November 18, 2024 4.0 Was good until I used it but the disappointment was they didnt build a good cloud platform so moved to a different cloud product Pros Used it for 18 years until 2020. Great product with good customer support Cons Not competitive with other cloud based applications Review Source AT Alex T. Dentist/owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dentrix makes our workday work!" March 11, 2022 4.0 We use Dentrix everyday in our dental clinic. It is the glue that holds our work days together. We are in the process of going paperless and Dentrix has enabled us to be confident in this big change. From scheduling efficiently to keeping track of completed and future treatment, Dentrix keeps the workday flowing. Pros Patient charting and treatment planning are the most critical functions my workday. My office manager would tell you the eClaims and insurance verification options are important for an efficient day. We continue to learn about new options as we upgrade to Optimum Pro and take on automatic notifications and online bill pay. Because of their multiple service packages, you can personalize you package based on cost and features. It’s a good product. Cons You have to be familiar with the software or you will become overwhelmed by the number of buttons and options. I probably only use half of all the functions. Training is imperative and their customer service is usually good. At times, it will take a while to get through to a real person for support. Reason for choosing Dentrix Cost and other user recommendations. We spoke with other doctors and their experience with both Eaglesoft and Dentrix. Dentrix always won out. Review Source Response from Henry Schein One March 15, 2022 Thank you for the wonder feedback Alex. I would love to discuss your feedback with Dentrix further. If you're interested let me know.

Easy to train on and very efficient Cons The crash of the software at the most inconvenient times Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Dentist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good Single Office Starter Dental PM Software" September 9, 2022 4.0 Dentrix was a good system for pre-pandemic, server based PM software for a single office. But now with multiple practices and working remotely, a cloud based system really is more realistic. Pros Was easy to use for myself and staff after training and acclimation period. Had all features that were needed to run a dental practice. Cons Finding various reports were difficult and took some digging around in. There was no way to remotely view the software, if someone wanted to remote in it to view a schedule or someone's benefits or chart notes, it would require taking control of the entire computer and someone in the office could not use it. Additional texting with patients was not two way (real time back and forth) and was not integrated into the software, required logging into a separate website not linked in Dentrix. Reason for choosing Dentrix It was nationally known as one of the most used softwares for dental PM Review Source AC Allison C. Office Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dentrix review" January 18, 2023 5.0 Dentrix makes managing all aspects of a dental practice convenient and easy Pros This is by far the best dental management software I have personalky used. Everything is easy to navigate, there is not a task that I have encountered that Dentrix was not capable of, customer support is always helpful Cons The only flaw I have found is with treatment planning, I do think I need a tutorial but I can never get the computer figures to match the figures we come up with Review Source JB Joe B. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Thanks Dentrix" July 20, 2021 5.0 Since I have not studied other systems, I don't know what I am missing. Pros I have used another software years ago, switched to Dentrix and am glad I did. They are always adding new, improved modules to their system. Keep up the good works. Cons I know we don't use near all of the bells and whistles of this product. Need to have easy way to integrate new features without hiring a consultant. Review Source RD Richard D. Expanded Dental Assistant Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dentrix is a great alternative to Eaglesoft" November 30, 2023 5.0 Pros Even though it is much more simple than Eaglesoft, it is user friendly at most for all new people use it. Cons Not very eye-catching. Boring interface. Review Source KF Kimberly F. Office manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dentrix for a Dental Office" March 9, 2022 5.0 Great! Pros This product is very user friendly. You can go online and learn to do just about anything. Cons We need to update our program but need to update our computer system first. Which we just can not do at this time. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Office Manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Dentrix on the Daily" September 7, 2022 4.0 Dentrix is a great software for a dental office. Like any software it has its pros and cons. Overall, it does the job. Pros Dentrix integrates with other software we use, such as Dexis and Yapi. Cons Depending on the report you run we tend to get different numbers. We have worked with Dentrix to fix this but it is still not accurate. Review Source SL Steven L. dentist Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The QWERTY of dental management software" April 29, 2021 2.0 It works, but it is not pleasant to use. It is inefficient. As the title says, it is the QWERTY of dental management software. Pros It has a lot of features and allows us to keep track of what we need to keep track of in our office. It is the most widely used dental management software, so many dental employees are somewhat familiar with it. Cons It is not user friendly. It is not intuitive. It is clunky with a capital "CLUNK". Navigating through the modules does not follow basic computer navigation norms. For instance, when something (like a patient's name) is highlighted, clicking ENTER does not open that file. In fact, they are not even consistent from one module to another. There are many instances where you would expect one click to get you where you want to go, but instead it takes two or three clicks. Also, Dentrix requires more powerful computers to run than competitors. That, of course, means higher costs to use. Reason for choosing Dentrix Staff already familiar with it and felt it would be too painful to switch. Review Source CC Constantin C. Office manager Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Poor to non existent customer service and technical support" January 5, 2021 4.0 Customer service and technical support used to be good. Last couple of years that changed for the worse. Waiting time for someone to answer a call is longer than 30 minutes and if anyone does answer, it is always a technician located overseas, with very poor understanding and command of both the English language and the software. They are answering questions by reading a script that often does not make any sense. To be connected to a technician located in the US, which are all very professional and knowledgeable, it is almost impossible. As i am typing this review, i have been on hold for 40 minutes and counting. Pros Product is complex and relatively easy to use, but each update makes it less dependable. Each new update adds features that are practically useless and make the whole thing more cumbersome to use. Cons Customer service and technical support.

Lead Assistant Medical Practice Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Pros and cons " July 11, 2022 4.0 Pros We enjoy the talk to text ability for the hygienist when doing their initial exams, we also like the options to calibrate our machines. Cons Not easy to add a machine or device. Also the customer support is so so. Review Source AL Alexander L. Dentist Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "good if you want headaches all the time" March 2, 2017 2.0 the rep that sold it to my office misrepresented what options the software came with. we purchased it for around K , then had to purchase licensing for all computers, then had it installed only to find out that it does not come with all the module included and you had to pay extra for the services like ebilling and ecentral (which malfunctions all the time) the service is horrible, the contact is expensive and does not cover the tech on site. The online support is not bad but not able to solve many issues. The techs that came to the office and set up the whole thing did a terrible job and the software is constantly not working properly. They cam in and set up my whole network and server and none of it works well and consistently. Software is not user friendly and required many hours to get it to work OK. Features like insurances and notes are very hard to set up to where they should be to work well. They charged money for the file transfer from ACE and that was a complete screw up and we basically had to start from scratch on everything. Took a Year to clean up the mess. If I could do it over again I would steer clear of Dentrix Pros Scheduling is probably the one thing that works ok Cons not user friendly , horrible support, expensive, not all inclusive , constant glitches and crashes Review Source OO Orlando O. BSDH Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 2+ years ### "One great software to use!" January 25, 2019 5.0 Dentrix costumer service is rally good and they are good with helping you answer the concerns or questions you have. Its a great software when its compare with many software I've used in the past and I wouldn't go back to the other ones. I always recommend Dentrix to any new dentist or dental offices cause I have a great experience with it, we just need to modify it to make it better for us clinicians. Pros This software is very compatible with most computer programs, has great tools to work with and is backup by great costumer service. Cons They are many separate windows for every single component, due to its many tools and versatility is a little hard to navigate and find certain tools or complicated on how to use them. Needs to be a little more simplify or have a content window with links that leads to what you are looking for like finances, patient images, charting, etc. Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
