On these two PMSes, we don't go through a middleman. Insurance verifications, AI clinical notes, treatment plans, and patient passport sync all write back to the chart in real time, and on Open Dental payments post straight to the patient's ledger. No copy-paste, no nightly batches, no vendor markup eating your margin.
Direct, real-time connection through Open Dental's own API.
Whichever PMS your practice runs on, here's how we'll connect, and what that means for what's possible.
Open Dental · Dentrix Ascend
Native vendor-certified API. Real-time writeback. No middleman, no per-call markup, no tier gates. The full feature set, the cleanest setup, and the lowest cost to operate.
Dentrix · Eaglesoft · 60+ others
For PMSes without a public API, we route through a certified dental data bridge that connects to 60+ systems. You get most of the platform: AI notes, insurance verification, marketing analytics, patient passport. Some advanced writeback is read-only on this tier.
"Integrates with your PMS" can mean anything from a nightly CSV import to true real-time sync. Here's what direct API actually buys you.
Data flows both ways the moment something changes. A completed intake form lands on the chart before the patient sits down; insurance verification results post to the patient record automatically; an AI clinical note publishes to the chart the same visit. No nightly batches, no copy-paste, no double entry.
Aggregator-based integrations route every read and write through a third party that charges per call. A cost most vendors quietly pass on to you. Our direct connections talk to the PMS vendor's own certified API, so there's no per-call markup and no rate-limit tier gates on your data.
Yes. Dentrix (desktop) connects through our certified PMS data bridge, which covers reads plus most writeback: AI notes, insurance verification, analytics, and patient passport. Dentrix Ascend (the cloud version) gets our native, Henry Schein One-certified direct API with real-time appointment writeback and new-patient creation.
Yes. Eaglesoft connects through the certified PMS data bridge. The same path used for Dentrix and 60+ other systems. You get AI clinical notes, automated insurance verification, marketing analytics, and patient passport; a small subset of advanced writeback features is read-only on this tier.
On Open Dental and Dentrix Ascend: appointments (read and write), patient records and new-patient creation, completed intake forms filed to the chart, AI clinical notes published to the chart, insurance verifications posted to the patient record, and treatment plans. On Open Dental, card, text-to-pay and membership payments also post to the patient's ledger, ERA insurance payments post to the claim, filed faxes go into the patient's Imaging module, and openings found on the Open Dental schedule book straight back onto it when an ASAP-list patient accepts. Each card above lists the specifics.
Tell us your PMS and we'll tell you exactly what you'd get, including the specific writeback features that work on your setup vs the ones you'd lose. Fifteen minutes, no slide deck, no pressure.
Henry Schein One certified. Live API access on v177+.
Dentrix Enterprise · ABELDent · on-premise installs
A small agent installed on your office server reads the local PMS database directly. Best for Dentrix Enterprise, ABELDent and other on-premise installs.
If your office runs on any of these, Intake connects: same forms, same AI receptionist, same writeback. No rip-and-replace.
Don't see your system? It's very likely still covered, tell us what you run and we'll confirm in one email.
Writeback-heavy features only work on a direct connection: AI clinical notes signed into the chart, payments posted to the ledger (Open Dental), treatment-plan sync, per-tooth history, and cross-practice patient passport. On direct-API PMSes you get the entire platform, not a read-only subset.
Dentrix Ascend is cloud-to-cloud: nothing to install. Open Dental connects through its own API and the eConnector service on your office server, so nothing new is installed there either; you confirm the eConnector is running and enable the API, and we walk you through it in about five minutes. The local bridge agent is only needed for on-premise systems without a public API, like Dentrix Enterprise or ABELDent.
You're still covered. Every Intake Dental plan automatically emails a formatted PDF of each completed intake form to your office, which works with any PMS on earth. Tell us what you run and we'll confirm exactly which tier your system lands in, usually within one business day.
Yes. All PMS traffic is encrypted in transit with TLS, and PHI is stored with AES-256-GCM field-level encryption plus dual-layer Glyph encryption at rest. Every account includes a signed Business Associate Agreement, audit logging, and role-based access controls.
Most dental software vendors connect to your PMS one way and call it a day. We connect three ways, and we tell you upfront which tier your practice lands in.
