New Patient Intake Process
We’re excited to introduce a faster, more efficient way to bring new patients into your practice. Our updated intake process simplifies appointment scheduling by collecting essential patient and insurance information before the patient even walks through the door.
Here’s what’s new:
Simplified Pediatric Setup
- Easily create a non-patient head-of-household at the same time as you enter pediatric patients records.
Instant Family Assignment
- Assign new patients to an existing family at the time of creation, automatically sharing address and billing details.
Track No-Shows with Ease
- Patients who miss their first appointment are automatically added to the Unscheduled New Patient List. You can clean up these records manually or let Dentrix handle it for you.

Miscellaneous Features
- You can now more easily revalidate and reinstall your Windows network credentials when a workstation cannot access the Common Share folder on the server.
- The classic Family File window now includes a New Dentrix Forms button. Click the button to open a web page that outlines the benefits of the new forms feature and allows you to consent to be notified of new product features.
- When you open Dentrix Imaging, a splash screen appears announcing an improved workflow for taking X-rays using your DEXIS sensor. Also included is a video tour of Dentrix Imaging.
- You can now view a single page that lists all available features of Dentrix Pay and QuickBill Premium. Links on that page open web pages explaining the benefits of Dentrix Pay and QuickBill.
- Coming soon, enable or disable sending billing statements automatically once you close a claim to improve efficiency and accelerate collections.
