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

Teladoc Health

  • Does not accept traditional Medicare or Medicaid, only Medicare Advantage and managed care plans
  • Providers cannot prescribe DEA-controlled substances or certain medications including erectile dysfunction drugs
  • Cannot handle medical emergencies; users must call 911 for emergency care
