Set up dental care

Available to

Dental directors and configuration managers.

Dental care adds one dental chart to each patient, a treatment-planning workspace, dental recalls and dental chairs. It reuses the patient, appointment, consent, billing and pharmacy you already use. It never creates a second patient or a second invoice.
