Send Message

Questionnaires

Helps your office go paperless by electronically gathering and storing the same patient information that is included on new patient forms, health history updates, and other paper forms used in your office. A red check mark in the icon indicates that the patient has filled out a questionnaire.

Prescriptions

Helps you quickly create prescriptions and accurately track medicines prescribed to your patients. If a prescription bottle appears in the icon, the patient has a prescription.

Keep records of past events and create reminders of future events.

Document Center

Lets your office become paperless by scanning, capturing, and importing many types of documents, such as patient letters, EOBs (explanation of benefits), and referral letters or images (such as patient pictures and X-rays). You can attach these documents to patients, providers, insurance carriers, and referral sources. If papers appear in the lower drawer of the icon, the patient has documents saved to the Document Center.

Treatment Planner

Provides patients with easy-to-understand treatment options. When used with the Dentrix Presenter, the Treatment Planner provides powerful case presentations.

eDex

Manage and quickly search lists of patients (active, inactive, or archived), employers, insurance carriers, labs, non-patients, providers, staff, referrals, and any other contact you may want to remember. You can also create custom contacts and contact categories to filter the Contacts List or even locate a patient's next appointment.
