Dental imaging software

Whether imaging is built into your practice management system or licensed separately changes both the cost and how much clicking your team does per patient.

The practical question is not "does it do imaging" but "does it drive my sensors". Some systems are effectively tied to one hardware family; DentiMax is unusual in supporting sensors from many manufacturers. If you already own sensors, confirm compatibility before you shortlist anything — a mismatch here means replacing hardware, which dwarfs the software cost.
