Dentrix G5: A Technology Platform for Digital Practices

Dentrix G5, the latest version of the Dentrix practice management system, includes many new features, but the most significant is its new database architecture that not only improves performance but also allows Dentrix to run applications that securely integrate into the Dentrix database. With this release, Dentrix becomes a “platform” for dental applications and equipment, sharing data and information to simplify practice management.

“Just like the Apple iPhone is a platform for thousands of iPhone applications, Dentrix G5 is now a platform for Dentrixintegrated applications,” said Kevin Bunker, president, Henry Schein Practice Solutions. “Dentists will be able to use Dentrix G5-connected versions of their favorite applications that will access the database or become a new feature of Dentrix.”

Dentists who use Dentrix G5-integrated applications will be able to eliminate manual re-entry of data between the solutions, which improves the team’s efficiency. It also increases the value of both solutions.

And, as more developers write advanced Dentrix-compatible applications, dentists will have more choice in customizing their Dentrix practice management system to meet their unique needs.

Run your Favorite Applications on Dentrix G5
Making Dentrix G5 an open platform for third-party applications was made possible by the new SQL database. The new architecture not only improves performance, but also encrypts patient data for advanced data protection. It also makes it possible for Henry Schein to authorize other applications to securely access the Dentrix database, giving dentists the ability to use their favorite office products and technology as part of their Dentrix system.

“More than 60 developers have registered to create Dentrixcompatible applications that read from and, in some cases, write data directly to the Dentrix database,” Steve Roberts, Director of Product Strategy added. “This means dentists will soon see a multitude of Dentrix-integrated applications that extend the reach and benefits of Dentrix throughout their digital dental office.”

Some of the companies who have released or are planning to release Dentrix G5-connected applications include:
  • DemandForce
  • Weave Communications
  • Smile Reminder
  • Treatment Pro/Dental ATM
  • Guru
  • DentiCall

Dentrix offers a complete suite of integrated eServices that are designed to work seamlessly with Dentrix, such as Appointment Reminders, PowerPay credit and debit card processing, electronic claims and attachments, eBackUp data storage, integrated Patient Kiosk and more.

Other New Dentrix G5 Features
Dentrix G5 also includes new features such as:
  • Electronic Explanation of Benefits (eEOB), which allows practices to receive, review and automatically record insurance payments and adjustments for claims submitted electronically using the Dentrix eClaims software. Insurance claims are now validated pre-submission and the user is prompted to include attachments on insurance claims for carriers that require them through eClaims Attachment Notifications, reducing rejected or pended claims.
  • The new Screen Capture utility allows users to drag over any part of the visible screen to create a new document and save it to the Document Center, a particularly helpful feature for creating claims attachments from third-party imaging systems.
  • Dentrix Dentalink provides secure instant messaging, enabling users to easily communicate throughout the office with minimal disruption to patient care and workflow.
  • The new Dentrix Mobile upgrade is an additional feature for practices with a current customer service plan which presents an improved interface designed specifically for Apple iPad and Motorola Xoom tablet users, and enables fast, secure access to patient details, appointments, medical alerts and prescriptions.
