Denticon

What Is Denticon?

Denticon is Planet DDS's cloud-based practice management system, built for DSOs and multi-location dental groups. All features – ranging from scheduling, clinical workflow, patient engagement, revenue cycle, reporting, AI-assisted charting, security – are within one system. Everything in one place means consolidation of data and minimization of repetitive workflows. In turn, dental offices and DSOs can spend the saved time to improve data security and gain organization-wide visibility that helps promote expansion and better patient care.

What Is Denticon Best For?

Analytics is Denticon's strongest feature. Production, collections, provider performance, and revenue trends are all extracted from all the locations into one dashboard. This is done without needing a third-party tool to bridge the gap. These capabilities are quite suited to practices that are stuck compiling numbers manually. The software pulls reports from separate locations for organization-wide financial visibility that's updated as each location operates. 

How Much Does Denticon Cost?

Investment in the tool starts around $795/month. But the final cost varies based on the practice size alongside any add-ons. Our industry analysis and market data have brought forth a few additional costs that may also be incurred. These include:

• Implementation - This can range $5,000–$15,000 for small to mid-sized practices, meanwhile larger deployments should budget around $25,000–$75,000+
• Data Migration - Depending on the volume of data, imaging files, and historical data, it could cost between $1,500 and $10,000
• Training And Onboarding - Budget around $500–$5,000 for the training of staff, but know that the number can change depending on the format of training, plus number of users

Reviewers generally call Denticon's pricing fair for every feature that comes within its cloud platform. The recurring complaint is less about the base price and discusses more on the additional costs. This can include premium services and add-ons that raise the actual cost above what users anticipated. And while the functionality itself is reliable; it's important to clarify in pricing discussions what is included and what is invoiced separately.

Disclaimer: The pricing is subject to change.

Denticon Use Cases

Our analysis of Denticon’s capabilities has helped us identify numerous hypothetical scenarios that suit the software:

DSOs That Are Replacing On-Site Servers And Disconnected Location Level Systems

A server at every location means IT overhead multiplied by however many offices are run, plus corporate not knowing what's actually happening until someone compiles a report and sends it up the chain. Denticon drops the server footprint entirely and centralizes data. This way, leadership sees current numbers instead of waiting on last week's spreadsheet from each office.

DSO Finance Teams That Manages RCM In Various Locations

Tracking AR and claim acceptance in dozens of location systems isn't exactly possible, and that's because someone's always exporting spreadsheets and reconciling, usually days behind. This is where Denticon helps with its RCM module. On top of managing insurance eligibility checks, it also ensures batch claim submission and automatic 835 posting before turning all into a single report. This way, finance teams can see the collective performance in all of the group in one place, instead of trying to figure what number from five different locations mean.

Dental Groups That Reduce The Time Front Office Time Spends On Scheduling/Follow-Up

Every hour that front desk employees spend on phone reminders or pursuing unpaid balances is an hour that could otherwise be spent assisting patients of the facility. Denticon helps here. With the tool, a significant portion of the human labor at the front desk is managed, all thanks to the automated reminders, recall messages, alongside online self-scheduling. But, one nuance to keep in mind; time saved depends heavily on how busy a given practice is. For instance, an office struggling with high-volume may find it more helpful than a quiet one.

Clinical Teams That Are Standardizing Perio Plus Restorative Charting In A DSO

Different providers chart differently, and this evokes a gap that eventually turns into denied claims once a payer actually reads the record closely. Instead of typing up notes from memory after the exam, AI Voice Perio and AI Voice Restorative Charting record notes as the physician speaks. This means that regardless of the source or the office from which they originated, charts ultimately read the same.

Is Denticon Right For You?

Is your practice still running a location-level server? Perhaps it struggles with real-time visibility in the offices, or needs charting/billing to look the same everywhere as you add locations? Denticon - in that case - might suit your needs.
