Dentrix Ascend selected as exclusive practice management system of Smile Brands

---

Henry Schein One recently announced that Dentrix Ascend cloud-based practice management software will be adopted as the exclusive dental practice management system of Smile Brands and its affiliated dental practices.

According to a news release, Smile Brands chose Dentrix Ascend because of its clinical features and ability to integrate with Smile Brands proprietary tools through software application programming interfaces (APIs) and microservices architecture. The decision-making process included an extensive analysis of the cloud practice management software market over the course of a year and a pilot with Dentrix Ascend across several practices and regions.

Steve Bilt, CEO of Smile Brands, said the vision and culture of the company will be enhanced through the clinical efficiency and easy access to data available with Dentrix Ascend. 

“Smile Brands, like all DSOs of scale, has many needs that can be well met by a best-in-class clinical solution and a series of needs that are specific to the Company’s processes and path through history,” he said in the release. 

Dentrix Ascend moves practice management to the cloud, helping to increase practice efficiency and eliminate time spent on backups, software updates and server issues. Dentists can access their practice data at any time, from any location.

“Henry Schein One is committed to supporting Smile Brands’ goal of being a leader in the DSO segment that improves all aspects of dentistry,” said Mike Baird, CEO of Henry Schein One. “We share the same goals to help Smile Brands use the most advanced technology to simplify management in their practices and increase the quality of care for thousands of patients each day.”
