Amanda Bell Owner/Office Manager, Bell Family Dentistry
Voice contributes directly to our bottom line. Our hygienists never need to put their perio charting on hold while waiting for a team member to assist. That means the hygienists have the full time they need for patient education, which leads to better treatment acceptance. Voice is an investment that more than pays for itself.
Kayte Blackmon Office Manager, Harris Family Dentistry
Perio charting is now quicker and easier than ever, thanks to Dentrix Ascend Voice... With the time we save, we can double the frequency of perio exams, further improving our patients’ health.
Amanda Bell Business Manager & Owner, Bell Family Dentistry
Our hygiensists can let Voice do more of the work, so they focus on our patients' needs and questions.
