Running a dental practice involves more than clinical excellence. Appointment management, treatment planning, billing, and patient follow-ups all require efficient systems. Dental practice management software handles these so dentists can focus on patient care.
Why Dental Practices Need Specialized Software
- Visual Dental Charting: Standard EMR doesn't have tooth diagrams
- Treatment Sequencing: Multi-visit procedures need planning
- Chair-Side Efficiency: Quick access during procedures
- Lab Work Tracking: Crown, prosthetics from external labs
- Recall System: Preventive care reminders
