Akitu One

What Is Akitu One?

Akitu One is an all-in-one dental practice management software designed to manage clinical documentation, patient communication, and business operations in one system. It documents clinical findings, captures and manages dental images, processes electronic insurance claims, schedules appointments, facilitates patient communication, tracks practice performance through real-time dashboards, and generates financial reports. Using its 'Recare' functionality, the tool automates patient reminders and tracks hygiene appointments to support ongoing patient follow-up. Beyond standard teeth and periodontal charting, it includes dedicated facial diagrams for cosmetic injection tracking.

What Is Akitu One Best For?

'Botox and Dermal Filler Charting' is one of Akitu One’s standout features because it allows dental providers to document facial aesthetic treatments alongside tooth and periodontal charting. Providers can create multiple facial diagrams for each patient, organize them by appointment date, and record injection points and administered units directly on the diagrams. This helps dental practices maintain Botox and dermal filler treatment histories within the same system.

How Much Does Akitu One Cost?

Akitu One cost is estimated to start at $399/month. The vendor offers custom quotes based on clinical requirements. Beyond this base cost, organizations might also need to account for the following potential costs:

• Standard Implementation And Setup: $0–$1,000 (one-time), typically depending on whether Akitu bundles setup into the subscription or charges separately for configuration
• Standard Data Migration: $0–$1,500/database (one-time), including the transfer of patient records and other supported data from an existing practice management system
• Complex Or Multi-Database Migration: $1,500–$3,000/database merge (one-time), accounting for additional location conversions or the consolidation of separate practice databases
• Extra Remote Training: $80–$150/hour, for additional instructor-led sessions focused on system configuration and daily workflows

Users generally see Akitu One pricing as offering strong value, particularly because many core features are included without requiring separate supplementary apps.

Akitu One Use Cases

Based on our analysis of user reviews and Akitu One’s current capabilities, we have identified the following key scenarios where this software is a good fit for dental practices:

Dental Hygiene Practitioner Starting An Independent Clinic

Establishing an independent dental hygiene clinic requires setting up patient records, appointment schedules, clinical documentation, billing, and reporting, often without additional administrative staff. To manage these responsibilities, a dental hygiene practice owner can use Akitu One to handle daily clinical and administrative tasks within one system. One reviewer starting a dental hygiene clinic reported using Akitu One to manage patient records, scheduling, charting, billing, and reporting.

Clinic Manager Coordinating Schedules Across Multiple Providers

Frequent appointment changes can complicate scheduling when several clinicians share a clinic's appointment capacity. In this situation, clinic managers can use Akitu One's provider-specific calendar views to create, move, and review appointments without switching between separate schedules. Users note that these calendar views make it easier to manage multiple providers’ schedules, while the software also allows them to add multiple deposits and track outstanding collections.

Dental Hygienist Operating Without A Dedicated Receptionist

When a dental hygienist runs a clinic without a receptionist, patient calls and appointment requests can interrupt consultations and delay responses to booking inquiries. To reduce these interruptions, Akitu One allows patients to book appointments online, while automated reminders handle routine appointment notifications. Its messaging tools also let hygienists respond to patient inquiries directly. A dental hygiene practitioner reported choosing Akitu One to handle patient bookings and messages without hiring a receptionist.  

Dentist Documenting Botox And Dermal Filler Treatments

Facial aesthetic treatments require ongoing documentation, particularly when patients return for repeat procedures or follow-up consultations. For dentists who provide these services alongside routine dental care, Akitu One keeps aesthetic treatment records within the existing patient management system. In this way, practitioners can review previous treatment information during subsequent visits without maintaining a separate recordkeeping system.

Multi-Practice Owner Reviewing Activity Across Dental Locations

Reviewing operational performance becomes more complicated when several dental locations maintain separate records and reporting processes. Here, Akitu One provides multi-practice owners with centralized access and analytics to examine activity at different locations. User feedback indicates that the software makes it easy to generate reports for tracking practice activity.

Is Akitu One Right For You?

Akitu One may suit dental practices seeking a cloud-based system that supports expansion to multiple locations. For example, a five-location dental group could use its multi-practice setup to centralize oversight and review operational analytics for each location rather than maintaining separate practice management systems.  

When it comes to security, the vendor uses cloud-based data management, encryption, and cybersecurity measures to protect patient and financial information. Akitu One also stores practice data in a Canadian data center and performs continuous backups and audits to maintain data accessibility and integrity.

Compared with traditional server-based dental practice management systems, Akitu One offers the advantage of vendor-managed data storage and backups. This reduces the need for practices to maintain local servers and backup infrastructure, particularly when managing several locations.
