Digital Dental Practice vs. Manual Methods
See how oeHealth dental modules compare to traditional paper-based dental practice management.
| Workflow | With oeHealth | Without oeHealth |
|---|---|---|
| Dental Charting | Interactive digital charts with tooth-by-tooth records | Paper charts prone to illegibility and loss |
| Treatment Planning | Structured plans with cost estimates and staging | Handwritten plans without standardized tracking |
| Radiograph Management | Digital storage linked to patient records | Physical film storage requiring manual retrieval |
| Periodontal Assessment | Digital probing records with trend analysis | Paper periodontal charts with no trend visibility |
| Procedure Coding | Integrated CDT code lookup and auto-population | Manual code reference and entry on claim forms |
| Insurance Claims | Electronic submission with status tracking | Paper claim forms mailed with delayed responses |
| Patient History | Complete digital history searchable by tooth or date | Folder-based records requiring physical search |
| Orthodontic Tracking | Milestone tracking with scheduled adjustments | Manual logs with inconsistent progress documentation |
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the oeHealth dental practice management module.
Which dental notation systems are supported?
The dental charting module supports Universal (ADA) numbering, Palmer notation, and FDI (ISO 3950) two-digit notation systems. You can configure the default notation system at the practice level while allowing individual practitioners to choose their preferred system.
Can I import existing dental records from another system?
Yes, oeHealth provides data import tools that accept CSV and XML formats for patient demographics, treatment histories, and dental charting data. Our implementation team can assist with mapping fields from your previous system to ensure accurate data migration.
Does the module integrate with digital radiography hardware?
The dental imaging module supports standard DICOM and TWAIN protocols for connecting with intraoral cameras, panoramic units, and cephalometric systems. Images captured are automatically linked to the active patient record and can be annotated within the application.
How are multi-stage treatment plans managed?
Treatment plans can be organized into phases with dependencies between procedures. Each phase includes estimated costs, appointment scheduling, and required materials. Patients can review and approve plans digitally, and the system tracks completion status for each stage automatically.
Is the CDT procedure code library included?
Yes, the module ships with the current CDT code library and is updated annually to reflect ADA revisions. You can also create custom procedure codes for services not covered by standard CDT categories, and map them to insurance claim codes as needed.
