Working in Ascend

GuideDentrix Ascend support: how to get unstuck fasterMost Ascend tickets are not software faults. They are workflow questions wearing a software costume — which is why the answer often arrives as a help article rather than a fix.Read GuideDentrix Ascend training for front office staff: the first two weeksNew front-office hires do not need all of Ascend. They need about fifteen percent of it, in the right order, and the discipline not to learn the rest until that fifteen percent is automatic.Read GuideDentrix Ascend billing: claims, denials and postingAscend will submit claims all day. Whether they get paid depends on habits the software cannot enforce for you.Read GuideDentrix Ascend insurance verification: a practical workflowEligibility is the easy part and the least useful.

Questions

Dentrix Ascend basics

What is Dentrix Ascend?

Dentrix Ascend is Henry Schein One's cloud-based dental practice management system. It runs in the browser with no server to maintain, which is the main practical difference from desktop Dentrix — and the reason multi-location groups tend to prefer it.

Is Dentrix Ascend the same as Dentrix?

No. They share a vendor and a name but are separate products. Ascend is not a newer version of desktop Dentrix — moving between them is a migration project, not an upgrade.

Can an outside team work in our Dentrix Ascend?

Yes. Ascend supports role-based users with per-area permissions, so an outsourced front office or billing team can be scoped to exactly what it needs and nothing more. That is how we work with client practices, under a signed BAA.
