Chart and Diagnose, Seamlessly
Dentrix Ascend simplifies charting with Quick Exam, fully-embedded AI, hands-free documentation, and Image Verify to confirm X-ray quality.
From image to exam – done in seconds
With Ascend Imaging, images are captured with a single click, securely stored in the cloud, and automatically linked to the patient record. The Quick Exam clinical module is an efficient way to record the many data points in a full oral exam.
How It Works
No-miss billing with auto-coding
Never miss billing again. CDT codes auto-attach to x-rays and post directly to the Ascend ledger. Capture the image and ensure accurate reimbursement with no extra steps
Reduce x-ray retakes
Image Verify checks dental images like bitewings and panoramics to automatically confirm clarity and quality.
Plug-and-play open architecture
Ascend imaging supports 2D, 3D, CBCT, and CAD/CAM devices, with no extra fees or integrations. Compatibility with 150+ devices keeps your workflows flexible and future-ready.
Imaging with Image Verify
Image Verify uses an AI rating system to instantly review x-ray quality, so you can retake it instantly during the same exam. Images are auto-coded and attached to the patient, procedures, and claim.
