Dental practice software: tooth charts, treatment plans and lab orders in one place

Partner content: this article is about Zyntra Dental, part of Zyntra OS by Double Support — a company owned by the brother of Sources Fast's owner. Product details come from Double Support's own pages.

A dental clinic works differently from a general clinic. Treatment happens tooth by tooth, often over several visits, and part of the work is done by an outside lab. A general clinic system can book the appointments, but it can't tell you what happened to tooth 36 last year.

Zyntra Clinic has a dental mode for exactly this. You switch it on in Clinic Settings with "This is a dental clinic". Clinics that don't switch it on see Zyntra Clinic exactly as before.

The tooth chart

• FDI or Universal numbering, adult and child teeth.
• Each tooth's surface states and full history.

When a procedure is done during a visit, it's billed with that visit — for example, "Filling — tooth 36 (MO)" — and written to the chart when the visit closes. The chart and the invoice can't disagree.

Treatment plans in phases

Bigger treatments are planned in phases, with the insurer's and patient's parts on every step. A plan can be accepted at the desk or through an estimate, so the patient knows what each phase will cost them before it starts.

X-rays and gum charts

• X-rays: images and DICOM files, added manually to the tooth they belong to.
• Gum chart: six sites per tooth, with two exams compared side by side to show change over time.

Lab orders

Crowns, bridges and appliances go to a lab. Zyntra Clinic tracks each lab order as sent, received and fitted, and records the lab's bill in Purchase — so lab costs show up in your accounts against the work they belong to.

Recall

Patients forget check-ups. Recall reminders include the patient's booking link, so they can book the next visit straight away.

Everything a clinic needs, too

Dental mode sits on top of the full clinic edition: patient files with strict access rights, visits locked after signing, prescriptions on your letterhead, insurance claims with separate insurer and patient invoices, and reports. Underneath is Zyntra OS, with accounting, HR and payroll.

A typical treatment journey

1. Examination: the dentist records findings on the tooth chart and, if needed, a gum chart.
2. Plan: a phased treatment plan shows each step with the insurer's and patient's share.
3. Acceptance: the patient accepts at the desk or through an estimate.
4. Treatment visits: procedures are billed with each visit and written to the chart when it closes.
5. Lab work: crowns or appliances are ordered, received and fitted, with the lab's bill in Purchase.
6. Recall: a reminder with a booking link brings the patient back for the next check-up.
