About dentistry

Dentistry is procedure-led: a treatment plan often runs across several sittings, each booked with a dentist and billed as it is done. Radiographs, consent and what the patient is ready to pay for all shape what happens next.

What makes this specialty hard to run

The operational problems a system has to answer, before any feature list.

  1. 01

    Treatment runs across several appointments, so the plan matters as much as the visit.

  2. 02

    Scheduling is chair- and dentist-bound, and a missed appointment costs a whole slot.

  3. 03

    Billing is per procedure, often part-paid across visits.

  4. 04

    Radiographs come from different machines and have to stay with the right patient.

How Nirogix supports dentistry

Grouped the way the day runs. Every line says whether it is in the product today or planned.

Available todayPlanned, not available yet

Clinical pathways are reference content your clinical team reviews and edits as its own; nothing is ordered or prescribed until a doctor chooses it. Calculators inform a decision and do not write to the record. A line that needs a particular module names it.

Dentists and sittings

  • A weekly schedule per dentist, so bookings fall in real slots, and a double booking refused
  • A treatment case that groups the sittings of one course of treatment, so each visit attaches to the plan it belongs to
  • A follow-up date in one press, carried into the booking form
  • Reminders by SMS or WhatsApp through your hospital’s own accounts
  • Chair-wise scheduling, waitlists and no-show tracking(planned)

The dental consultation

  • Ten dental pathways ready on day one: caries, pulpitis, abscess, gingivitis, periodontitis, impacted wisdom tooth, pericoronitis and more
  • Findings and procedures recorded in the consultation note, with diagnoses coded from common dental ICD-10-CM codes
  • A structured dental form set up with you during onboarding, which locks with the signed note
  • With the Dentistry module, a dental chart for permanent and primary teeth by FDI tooth and surface, drawn from the findings recorded, with the history of each tooth

Treatment plans and billing

  • Procedures priced from your services catalog and billed on the visit’s invoice
  • Part payments and a running balance, so a long plan is paid down across sittings
  • Concessions with a reason, and an approval above each role’s limit
  • With the Dentistry module, treatment plans with each planned procedure by tooth and phase, and the patient’s decision recorded
  • An estimate and billing per phase of a treatment plan(planned)

Consents, prescriptions and radiographs

  • Procedure and sedation consents numbered and printed on your letterhead for signature, with the Clinical Support module
  • Prescriptions from your formulary on your letterhead, with allergies shown and an exact match flagged
  • Radiographs attached to the patient’s record as documents
  • With the Dentistry module, the recall date set at the consultation, on a due list
  • Radiographs tagged to a tooth(planned)

Reports

  • An end-of-day report that reconciles collections, concessions, refunds and what is outstanding
  • Your dashboard: today’s queue and the week’s follow-ups
  • DMFT scoring(planned)

What changes for the practice

Every sitting on one plan

A treatment case keeps the visits of a course together, so the next dentist sees what was done and what is left.

Balances nobody argues about

Part payments show what is paid and what is outstanding at every sitting.

Consent you can file

Procedure and sedation consents print numbered, on your letterhead, ready to sign.

One record per patient

Notes, prescriptions, radiographs and bills under one patient, across every visit.

The modules a practice like this turns on

Modules are entitlements: enable what you need now and add the rest when you are ready. Nothing is re-implemented per specialty.

What gets configured for you

Dentist schedules and slotsProcedure prices in the services catalogConsent forms on your letterhead

Most specialties differ in configuration rather than code: the same modules are enabled and set up differently. Where a specialty has a module of its own (twenty-three today, from Pediatrics, Obstetrics and Dentistry to Cardiology, Oncology and Nephrology), it is switched on per hospital. Where a specialty needs a capability the platform does not have yet, we say so during the demo rather than after you buy.

Questions we are asked

Does Nirogix have an odontogram (tooth chart)?

Yes, with the Dentistry module: each finding is recorded on a tooth by FDI code and surface, and the dental chart and each tooth’s history are drawn from them, beside procedures by sitting and treatment plans by phase. Its forms are being reviewed by a dentist before customer use.

Can we schedule by chair?

Schedules are kept per dentist today, so a chair is booked through the dentist using it. Chair-wise scheduling is planned.

Can a patient pay for treatment in parts?

Yes. Part payments and a running balance are built into billing, so a plan is paid down across visits.

Do you store X-rays?

Radiographs are attached to the patient as documents and opened from the record. Viewing them inside the product, or tagging them to a tooth, is not built yet.
