For more than 20 years, Dentrix has built a reputation as a complete practice management solution. By combining intelligent patient management and flexible clinical tools, and industry-leading business management capabilities, Dentrix has helped more than 30,000 dental practices grow and thrive. Building on that success, Henry Schein Dentrix announced the official release of Dentrix G5, the newest version of the practice management solution, at the Hinman Dental Meeting.

Dentrix G5 includes many new features, including an enhanced technology architecture that builds on previous versions to deliver new levels of security, performance and stability. This includes a new SQL database and an improved software engine that increases reliability and overall performance. With new encryption capabilities, Dentrix plays a key role in your efforts to stay compliant with HIPAA security standards.

The new electronic claims management capabilities save your office time by reducing manual data entry errors, eliminating rework and accelerating reimbursements. The new electronic explanation of benefits (eEOB) statement automatically creates ledger entries the moment remittance notices are accepted into Dentrix — without any extra data entry. With the integrated screen capture, you can quickly grab images from any source and use them for electronic charting, including validation of claims for certain carriers.

In today’s world, mobile access to the crucial information that powers your practice is vital. The latest version of Dentrix Mobile makes it safe and easy to access patient information on your smartphone, interact with your practice and get things done when you’re not in the office. Dentrix Mobile delivers even more advanced capabilities and an optimized viewing experience for larger iPad and Motorola Xoom tablet screens.

What makes this release truly unique is that Dentrix is now a platform for running applications that integrate directly with the Dentrix database. With a newly designed architecture, combined with a robust developer program that certifies applications, Dentrix G5 has become an “open platform,” encouraging software developers to write applications for the Dentrix practice management system to share data with the new Dentrix database. This gives Dentrix users the ability to extend their practice management system into more dental applications and equipment to improve efficiencies, so the integrated solutions work together as one digital dental office solution.

Dentrix G5 provides a new foundation for your practice. It improves everything you already know about Dentrix — including charts and treatment planning, business tools, and support and training services — and allows extension to enable a completely digital dental office.
