What's New in Dentrix

New features to help your team be more productive and more profitable.

The July 2024 releases of Dentrix Canada include the following features:

  • Miscellaneous Features
  • Bug Fixes

Miscellaneous Features

  • You can now submit secondary preauthorization estimates electronically using iTrans. However, since iTrans does not support secondary preauthorization estimates, Dentrix submits secondary preauthorizations as though they were primary preauthorizations. Once the primary and secondary EOBs are returned, practices must manually adjust any preauthorization amounts for their patients. For more information, please refer to Creating secondary dental preauthorization estimates and Changing preauthorization estimate claim information in the Dentrix Help.
  • A new paint type commonly called “remineralization” has been added to Dentrix. You must assign the Remineralization paint type to a procedure code with a “Tooth” Treatment Area. In the Patient Chart, the Remineralization paint type appears on selected teeth with the letter “R.” For more information, please refer to the Dentrix 2024 Canada Release Guide.
