Dentrix Enterprise stores each ZIP Code and its corresponding city, state, and country as a set. If you enter a ZIP Code that does not exist in your database, Dentrix Enterprise prompts you to also specify a city, state, and country. The next time that ZIP Code is entered, Dentrix Enterprise fills in the corresponding city, state, and country automatically. As you add addresses, you will have to enter the city, state, and country less often.
Dentrix Enterprise provides a way for you to quickly search your database for a ZIP Code. If you find the ZIP Code, you can insert it into a patient's address, or you can edit or delete it. If you do not find the ZIP Code, you can add it.
