Where each one falls short

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

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

Eaglesoft

  • The Internet Archive's capture of Patterson Dental's Eaglesoft page on 19 October 2019 confirmed the product is sold via 'Request more information' or phone with no price published, and directly integrates only with Sirona, Schick by Sirona (exclusive), Planmeca, Air Techniques, Instrumentarium, Soredex and Progeny imaging systems.
