Learn More About The Dentrix Developer Network

By Stacey Massey


Until recently dental practices had been pretty much left behind when it came to adequate software management practices. Now an innovative company offers this industry an interesting solution in the form of software services through the Dentrix developer network. This service is being changed into an operating system that will allow third party developers to develop or write applications compatible with the software and allow modification of databases.

When first launched at the end of the 80s, it was at the time new and unique in its concept. It was basically aimed at becoming an integrated and comprehensive system that could take every function within any dental practice and then combine them. Furthermore, it was also capable of integrating future technology and was mainly aimed to automate dental office administrative functions; allowing dentists to concentrate on their daily tasks.

Since its sale in 1997 to HSPS (Henry Schein Practice Solutions) the software underwent further development and released new products and versions of the original software. Products include dental office software for management practices, patient education software, imaging software, voice recognition and training software. These software programs are all designed with the specific aim of enhancing the overall experience within the dental office.

Entrepreneurial versions can successfully support a large number of workstations and subsequently integrate off-site offices. Through applying a software bridge the incorporated imaging programs can combine any type of dental imaging software and device. These related documents and images are then all stored in files in proprietary formats.

These integrated applications will soon be available directly from the online store of the developer which will be made available as downloadable apps; similar to what one will find in other well known app stores. Improvements to the site include the randomly generated password system for added site security. Being able to customize ones practice and have full access to all training, vendor books and other services not integrated make this software a must have for any dental practice.

Product pricing can vary due to the vendor and the robustness of the offered apps. Developers teamed with the company are both big firms with comprehensive software packages and independent developers. These developers in general offer varying applications that may be small features or much larger apps.

Available apps are all focused on integrating the dental office into a smoother operation, while adding security to private information. Dental practices that have incorporated this software to date have shown an increase in efficiency as well as productivity. Additionally, if any new equipment needs to be incorporated it can be done without complications.

The Dentrix developer network is very appealing in that it allows outside contributions to be submitted in the form of apps. This inclusion of outside developer apps means that people with firsthand understanding of the industry needs are considered.
