Where each one falls short

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

Denticon

  • Planet DDS publishes no price for Denticon: the product page gives no per location fee, no per provider rate and no minimum, and routes buyers to a demo request or a sales phone call
  • The product is positioned for DSOs and multi location dental groups rather than single practices
  • Denticon is one of several Planet DDS products, so imaging and patient engagement come from separately sold products in the same portfolio

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
