Denticon vs. Dentrix Ascend
Built for Growth. Driven by Innovation.
Denticon brings practice management, AI, imaging, and patient engagement together in one powerful platform. We partner with you to build a plan that fits your goals today and scales with you into the future.
Built for Where You’re Going
Denticon combines practice management, imaging, AI, and patient tools into a single system. No servers, no workarounds, no hidden fees. Designed to simplify operations, Denticon delivers reliable performance and the scalability to thrive tomorrow.
Native Imaging Integration
Denticon includes Apteryx XVWeb cloud imaging, fully integrated into clinical workflows, yet flexible enough to connect with other systems. Dentrix Ascend imaging is primarily within the Henry Schein ecosystem, which may reduce specialized options.
AI Automation
Denticon AI Assist is FDA-cleared and embedded at the point of care, supporting real-time treatment and enhancing operations. Dentrix Ascend AI tools focus mainly on administrative automation, which may suit practices prioritizing efficiency over clinical AI.
Integration Philosophy
Denticon is designed with an open API and broad third-party ecosystem, giving DSOs freedom to build their ideal tech stack. Dentrix Ascend promotes an open API but partnerships often prioritize Henry Schein tools, which can limit integration options.
Dedicated In-House Support
Denticon implementation, training, and support are fully handled by in-house Planet DDS teams, ensuring consistent partnership from day one. Dentrix Ascend relies on mostly online resources and remote support, which may fit practices comfortable managing their own setup.

Denticon has been a huge win for us. Having a cloud-based solution took away the bottleneck of servers. I had spent so much time, money, and resources building infrastructure, but I realized it starts with the practice management solution. I only wish I had begun using Denticon from the beginning. The cloud capabilities of Denticon are what have allowed us to grow at this rate.”
