Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

DentalXChange

  • Pricing is not published anywhere on the site
  • A clearinghouse and revenue cycle platform rather than practice management software, so it sits alongside a PMS rather than replacing one
  • Sold as many separate services, including credentialing, claims, attachments, ERA, statements and merchant services

Dentrix

  • The Dentrix product page publishes no price and no licence term, and directs buyers to request a demo or contact the vendor
  • Automatic software updates, in product chat support and priority access to specialists come through the paid Connected Care Essentials plan rather than the base software
  • Dentrix is sold as customisable packages and suites rather than one product, so what a practice gets depends on which suite it buys
  • Henry Schein One sells two separate practice management systems side by side, Dentrix and Dentrix Ascend, so buyers must choose between them rather than moving between editions
