Appointment management, accounting, billing and third-party payment, remote transmission to the CPAM... Most dental software today offers these basic functions, which are essential for running a dental practice or a dental health center. However, not all of them are equal, and when choosing, you have to consider several aspects of the software, from a performance point of view, as well as compatibility and functionality.

Let's start with an evocative figure: using a high-performance software solution today allows you to save between 5 and 15 minutes per consultation. This is precious time that can be spent on other patients or on teaching in the chair... As we know, teaching is crucial to gaining patient confidence, increasing the rate of adherence to treatment plans and limiting the number of cases of abandonment of care to a minimum.

Ergonomics and ease of use

The first point to consider is the ergonomics of the software. Whether or not you are a technophile, the software must be easy to use, intuitive and its content must be continuously improved. This is all the more important when you have to regularly train new employees, who do not all have the same profile or experience with these tools.

100% Cloud

This is another fundamental point to check before choosing a software for a dental practice or center. A 100% Cloud solution requires no installation and has the major advantage of being accessible from any computer or tablet, via a secure connection. A 100% Cloud dental software allows you to finalize a treatment plan or complete administrative tasks at any time and from any terminal connected to the Internet.

Compliance with regulations and labelling

French health regulations are dense and evolve regularly. A dental software must of course respect the legislative requirements. But some go further than the essential CE marking. Certified LAP 2021, they offer an additional guarantee on many crucial points: limitation of the risk of iatrogenic medication, facilitated articulation with the shared medical file and secure health messaging in particular.

Choosing a software that is at the forefront of these regulatory issues also means facilitating the integration of an employee from another country who is not necessarily familiar with French regulations.

Interoperability and versatility

Choosing a dental software that offers real interoperability means you can adapt the performance of this tool to your needs, as innovations arise. One of the solutions that has focused on this fundamental interoperability is Desmos software. This tool, specially designed for the specific needs of dentists and dental centers, facilitates the entire care process (from making an appointment to dental diagrams and Sesam-Vitale billing). And it now integrates the artificial intelligence developed by Allisonewhich facilitates patient understanding.

This 100% cloud-based software includes multiple functionalities that contribute to the improvement of care conditions and facilitate the work of dental practitioners and their collaborators in a quantifiable and tangible way.

Controlling the agenda, optimizing data management and patient relations, managing activity, helping with communication and defining treatment plans: dental software is now used at every stage of practice. When it is capable of incorporating innovative solutions, it is much more than a simple computer tool to help manage the practice. It becomes an invaluable ally in helping you practice safer dentistry and improve your patients' experience.
