Choosing Software for Your Dental Practice

Posted November 6, 2020 by Beth

When it comes to selecting the software your dental practice will use for practice management, charting, or otherwise, dentists are often looking for just the right product to increase their practice’s efficiency, productivity, and revenue. This is no small task given the vast array of vendor options and features to select. We propose four key variables that can help you find out if a software is right for your practice: support, innovation, scalability, and integration. 

 

Support

Some software vendors offer little customer support or onboarding process for their products. Especially with your first software, a lot of time, money, and effort will go to setting up, installing, and learning to use the software. Your practice will need support to adapt quickly and realize the software’s productivity benefits as soon as possible. 

You’ll also need professional technical support on hand to make the most of your investment and avoid downtime.

 

Whether you have an existing practice or are starting a new practice, XLDent is here to guide you in managing or establishing a successful dental practice with our software. We not only understand the importance of the software selection process, but we also take pride in the experience and knowledge our XLDent Certified professionals will offer you during the process and long after you decide to move forward with the XLDent Suite of products.

 

The XLDent Software Assurance and Business Care Plan protects your investment. We are here to help long after your initial training is complete. Our knowledgeable and friendly Implementation Specialists genuinely care about your happiness and success with the XLDent Suite. We will consistently go the extra mile to answer your questions and help you reach your software implementation goals.

 

Innovation

A software product that does not evolve cannot grow with your practice. Not only does your vendor need to be able to invest in the growth of their company to keep up with regulations, but they also need to keep up with the challenges and opportunities created by new dental technologies.

 

XLDent is committed to innovation. We use current and updated development tools for the continual enhancement of the XLDent Software Suite. At XLDent, we dedicate ourselves to providing software features and solutions focused on our clients’ success, and we work with them to define those goals. We express that dedication in our commitment to the continual enhancement and redevelopment of the tools we create. We are continually re-evaluating the current development landscape with a strong emphasis on using proven, secure technologies and features to the advantage of the dental practices that partner with us. 

 

Scalability 

The needs of dental practices are continually evolving. So is technology. A software product that gets you started today may not serve your practice in the long run as you continue to grow. Before you adopt any technology, make sure that you understand how technology can adapt and scale to align with your future goals as a business. 

 

XLDent Cloud offers a scalable cloud solution that can meet your practice where you are now and scale with you as you grow. With XLDent, all of your clinical documents, charts, patient contact information, and other practice management data can be accessed at any time by any authorized user. XLDent Cloud allows you to work in a secure environment without complicated network connections to retrieve your data. 

 

Integration

The right software for your dental practice will integrate with as many of the tools and services you need for success as possible. Always look for software solutions that offer a complete suite, or at least integrate Real-Time Insurance Eligibility, Electronic Remittance Advice, Patient and Doctor Portals, Encrypted Email, and more. 

 

XLDent has already integrated the eSolutions you need to stay competitive and maximize the efficiency of your practice. By partnering with an elite group of market leaders in the healthcare industry, we can offer you a comprehensive, fully integrated Electronic Services solution. All eSolutions are seamlessly integrated with your XLDent Suite to improve workflow processes, accuracy, patient experiences, and patient outcomes. XLDent has it all: electronic prescribing, patient and doctor portals, appointment reminders, credit card processing, electronic statement processing, electronic claim processing and claim status, real-time eligibility and benefits verification, electronic remittance advice, dental claim attachments, custom websites, marketing, offsite backup storage, Practice Booster for coding strategies, HIPAA-compliant email, cloud-based phone system through Mango Voice, and more.

New Features and Improvements at XLDent

Posted October 22, 2020 by Beth

New Features and Tech Improvements

 

Here at XLDent, we dedicate ourselves to providing software features and solutions focused on our clients’ success. We express that dedication in our commitment to the continual enhancement and redevelopment of the tools we create. As a company, we focus our time and attention on solutions in our clients’ best interests, and technology improvements are often a part of that. We are continually re-evaluating the current development landscape with a strong emphasis on using proven, secure technologies and features to the advantage of the dental practices that partner with us. 

 

We are continually assessing the user experience of each tool we create to maximize clinical efficiency, stay current with new technologies, and improve the overall experience. This past summer, XLDent launched a Feature Request Survey initiative to gather input on creating better tools to make the practices we partner with even more successful. These ideas from XLDent practices have now been reviewed, tracked, and prioritized for possible future development. We can’t wait to tell you more about planned features to our next version of XLDent. For now, we’d like to point out some of the technological improvements and features we’ve released in 2020.

 

XLDent Cloud

XLDent Cloud was released in early 2020 to provide a scalable solution to cloud technology. Our advancement combines our leading dental practice management software with the latest cloud data management technology. It takes all that XLDent practice management software offers and delivers it in the cloud so you and your team can work from anywhere. 

XLDent Cloud allows your practice to:

  • Use a cloud solution for single or multiple locations
  • Centralize data management
  • Streamline software updates, backups, and server needs
  • Integrate with a full suite of comprehensive eServices, such as Real-Time Insurance Eligibility, Electronic Remittance Advice, Patient and Doctor Portals, Encrypted Email, and more

 

XLDentIT

In April of 2020, XLDent launched our already popular service XLDentIT. From the beginning of its development, we envisioned managed IT services that would help your practice save money while improving the ability to focus on patient care. We also recognize that the budget is overextended for the average dental practice at the same time that dentists find themselves relying on technology more often. At this intersection is an opportunity to hire managed IT services like XLDentIT that pay for themselves. XLDentIT empowers you to keep your dental practice running smoothly with comprehensive remote monitoring and management. XLDentIT is an all-in-one solution that meets the IT needs of dental practices, including anti-virus, remote system monitoring, Windows OS patch and updates, installation, and IT support services.

 

XLCharge Updates

XLDent took significant care to upgrade the XLCharge credit card processing platform and terminal. Not only did we design our improvements to ensure this tool is using the latest security protocols for payment processing, but we also expanded the types of payments XLDent practices can accept. XLCharge now allows you to take even more payments, including contactless and web payments through XLPortal! XLCharge gives you the tools to expedite cash flow, reduce accounts receivable, minimize check-out time, and increase office efficiency in one solution powered by Global Payments Integrated, a healthcare-specific payment processing firm.

 

Internal Tools

Some of our proudest accomplishments in 2020 are those you may not even notice at all. Throughout the year, we’ve made significant improvements to internal development tools to track and prioritize enhancement requests. We were also quick to implement digital tools for the XLDent team that allowed for a seamless transition to remote work environments when we needed to do so for the Coronavirus pandemic. 

 

XLBackup

An impressive change still underway is our new platform for XLBackup. Existing backup service customers are now being migrated to this new system, while new customers are onboarded with the new solution already in place. This new platform was launched to improve client resolve time, uptime, and more responsive support.

 

 

Thank you!

This was a year of adaptation for a lot of us. We are proud to come through it with all of you! Thank you to each of our clients who inspired us to continue innovating our tools for your success. We also wish to thank each of our employees for their continued dedication to our practices, platforms, and products. We look forward to another successful quarter to end this year and continued prosperity in the new year.

Why Choose XLDent Cloud

Posted August 20, 2020 by Beth

XLDent Cloud Blog Banner that says Why Choose XLDent Cloud for your dental practice: adaptability, security, and efficiency meet in the cloud

 

When we released our XLDent Cloud solution back in March, we wanted to offer dental practices both an on-premise and cloud option for our already robust software suite. XLDent Cloud combines our leading dental practice management software with cloud data management technology.

The needs of dental practices are constantly evolving. So is technology. XLDent Cloud offers a scalable cloud solution that can meet your practice where you are now, and scale with you as you grow. XLDent Cloud allows your practice to:

  • Use a cloud solution for single or multiple locations
  • Centralize data management
  • Streamline software updates, backups, and server needs
  • Integrate with a full suite of comprehensive eServices, such as Real-Time Insurance Eligibility, Electronic Remittance Advice, Patient and Doctor Portals, Encrypted Email, and more

XLDent Cloud is a hosted cloud system that is managed and maintained by XLDent as your cloud service provider. That means you will have access to your information. However, XLDent manages the server systems on which that data is ultimately located.

How do you know if a cloud deployment will meet your practices needs any better than an XLDent solution hosted on a server in your practice? We’ve curated a list of a few of the top reasons that dental practices choose XLDent Cloud for your consideration.

 

Always Ready

With XLDent, all of your clinical documents, charts, patient contact information, and other practice management data can be accessed at any time, by any authorized user. XLDent Cloud allows you to work in a secure environment without complicated network connections to retrieve your data. Your data is synced and stored in the cloud.

 

Adaptability

XLDent Cloud creates the flexibility to work from home. All of the information stored in XLDent Cloud is synchronized in real-time so you can access it from anywhere. Your data is encrypted with secure password protection. XLDent Cloud simplifies availability while keeping data safe.

 

Always the Best Service

XLDent takes responsibility for managing the device on which all of your data is stored. You can expect the same level of service you’ve come to trust in the XLDent brand. Our experienced highly-trained IT professionals are dedicated to the security and health of your systems. We pride ourselves on being proactive and service-driven. 

 

Save Money

When you do not need to manage your server hardware at your practice on your own, there is no need to find and hire more experienced and more expensive IT staff and server administrators to address this aspect of the system. XLDent’s dedicated and experienced IT professionals are already looking out for your system. Your practice can also skip the cost of server hardware and still expect to enjoy the latest data storage advancements. 

 

Security

Protecting clinical data has always been a top priority for XLDent. We consistently choose the latest industry-standard security protocols. We stay on top of the newest security updates so that we are sure to provide the most secure platform possible to your practice.
