When asked why they chose Denticon, Will Alexander, Chief Information Officer of Benevis, said, “We were looking for a SaaS solution that would satisfy our existing requirements for standardizing our business processes to better serve patients as well as be forward-thinking and nimble to quickly deliver new features as the dentists we support need them. From an IT perspective, we were also looking for a solution that would help us consolidate the number of applications that we currently have to support. We felt that Denticon was in the best position to deliver for us today and in the future.”

Emma Machado Cifuentes, Director of Operations for Progressive Dental Management, said, “Denticon has been instrumental to our growth strategy by combining a cloud-based solution with robust, enterprise level reporting.”

“Lane & Associates Family Dentistry has been in business for over 40 years and is proudly the largest dental group practice in North Carolina. With over 46 offices across the state, we have grown significantly over the past several years and have quickly outgrown our existing practice management system. Denticon has provided the ideal solution at an enterprise level that is cloud based and multi-functional. We are in the early stages of adoption and are confident the system will yield improved data analytics and access to information between offices,” said Brian Bunch, Chief Executive Officer of Lane & Associates Family Dentistry.

“Group practices are looking to migrate to the cloud now more than ever. As they consider all the available options, they are consistently choosing Denticon as the most proven, comprehensive software for groups within the dental industry,” said Huffaker. “We are proud to empower so many dental organizations across the country to accelerate their growth through our innovative software.”

Multi-Location Practices Leverage Denticon

Denticon helps multi-location practices stay centralized and engaged. Its cloud-based capabilities have also helped group practices adapt quickly during the COVID crisis.

“Our doctor-owner model thrives on keeping teams informed and engaged. Utilizing a common platform ensures data integrity and an increased level of transparency when communicating KPIs to the field,” explained Danial Redifer, Co-Founder of EquiShared.

“The business side of dentistry is our chief responsibility as a management team. Denticon’s cloud-based platform provides for expanded service level capabilities such as teledentistry, centralized billing, and call center functionality,” added Cameron Elrod, Co-Founder of EquiShared. “These have become even more critical as we navigated the challenges brought on by the pandemic and the need to adapt quickly to patient and provider availability.”

“Our team is committed to providing practice groups the ability to move their offices to the cloud, releasing them from the constraints of being in the data warehousing business,” said Huffaker. “Denticon’s comprehensive platform provides online consent and patient registration, patient communications, and device-agnostic cloud imaging software, which has been very compelling to practice groups of all sizes.”
