April 2026 Releases

The April 2026 releases of Dentrix Canada include the following features:

Dentrix Imaging

If you use Carestream devices to acquire images, they now appear first in the device list.
If you use 3Shape, you can now use 3Shape Unite mDNS to discover your devices automatically.
The filename extension for exported images was changed from JEPG to JPG.
Image Verify uses AI to provide you with immediate, visual feedback on the quality and completeness of the images you capture so you can quickly identify any images you may need to retake before patients leave. Images are assigned a rating from one to five stars based on the overall diagnostic usability of the image.
- Ratings from 1 to 3 stars trigger a message in a banner reading, “Consider Review or Retake.”
- Ratings from 4 to 5 stars indicate that the image quality is acceptable, and the Feedback Panel to the right of the image indicates, “No Issues Detected.”
- Edge cases (no AI response, for example) receive no stars, and the banner reads, “No Quality Information Available.”
The Feedback Panel opens by default appearing automatically 5 seconds after images are acquired.
Tooth structure assessment (full or part of tooth) detects key anatomical including crown, root, and missing teeth.
The Imaging panel now opens automatically whenever you select a patient, so that you have immediate access to that patient’s imaging data.

A conversion message (Conversion in Progress) was added for on-demand conversions.
Smart Image no longer sends teeth to Dentrix Imaging for procedure posting.

When claims are resent from the Claims Manager, the resent date of the claim is updated to the system date at the time of the resend, and a resend status note is created.
By default, the date filter in the Claims Manager for unsent and sent claims is now set to Last 30 days.

The redesigned Family File is now available for all Beta offices to view and try out. We invite your feedback. For more information, please refer to Previewing the new Family File in the Dentrix Help.

The redesigned Ledger is available to a limited number of Beta offices to view and try out. We invite your feedback. For more information, please refer to Previewing the new Ledger in the Dentrix Help.

In the Patient Chart, tooltips were added to the Referred By and Referred To icons in the Progress Notes panel.
The Practice Notifications icon/button was added to the Appointment Book, the Office Manager, and the Ledger.
The provider’s name is now sent with the patient’s data to the Voice Notes web service so that voice notes are correctly attributed to the provider for transcribing, processing, and auditing. (Beta)
If you have enabled passwords, the logged-in provider or staff member is now automatically selected in the Claim Status Notes dialog box.
