Abeldent -
Comments: I have been working on Abeldent for 30 years. (When it started as a database). They STILL have the same team members since 1989. That tells you something. I have worked in other offices with other software programs, but nothing is compared to Abeldent.
Pros:
Abeldent is always ahead of new dental technology. If you want to use the basic fundamentals of the software, it is quite easy and user-friendly. If you want to explore more advanced settings of the software, that is an option as well. It offers so much. I find Abeldent has an easy appointment scheduler to navigate. The financial tab, to me, is so well done. It gives you so many options to view. It is well designed. I think that if team members would enjoy the financial more if they were trained properly on the financial tab. I enjoy the reports menu and contact lists. It's endless
Cons:
Since the update, the receipt printing is a little slower. HOWEVER, Abeldent team always listens to their customers and ensures that requests are at the forefront and these requested are usually updated in the next version.

Moving to AbelDent has been the best decision for our practice
Comments: I like that I can receive personal support anytime I have a question. I have been working with [sensitive content hidden] and she is fantastic! She has made herself available every time I have requested assistance. Her patience, extensive knowledge of AbelDent and ability to help me resolve any and all issues has exceeded my expectations.
Pros:
I like the ease of using AbelDent and the excellent training and support they have provided.
Cons:
I have not encountered any cons at this time. I will update this in the future but as of now our needs are being met by the AbelDent team.

Outdated Dental Software
Comments: I used the software for 2 years and 3 months. I am grateful my employer was willing to switch to a modern dental software system and move away from the very antiquated ABELDent.
Pros:
Two things I liked about ABELDent was that when you write a note about the appointment, it is date stamped and locked to the appointment. This was helpful. Along with the notes section that was either for that specific day and a section that was carried through every day. Two things that I could live without.
Cons:
The software is outdated and "in transition". I have never used a dental software that has been "in between versions". There were certain functions with billing that would only work if you followed through with the second function otherwise you would get errors and the system would crash. The software crashed a lot and was not user friendly. Support calls were never very supportive and they usually didn't have the answer because their software was "in transition" to their next version. The accounting reports were miles long and was a headache for our accountant. They frequently didn't balance and I had to run a "silent report" to then refresh the system and try processing my month end for the second time hoping it would balance as the system confused it's own numbers. It is not user friendly capable of transitioning an office to go paperless with charts. The odontogram and charting is not modern. Appointments would occasionally "disappear" with no trace! Appointments cannot extending by dragging the appointment down, you must click into the appointment and extend the units of time.

Customers only receive fully tested general release versions - "transition versions remain in development until ready for general release unless the customer agrees to beta testing. We now offer two platforms - local server solution with a traditional windows interface and a cloud server solution with a fresh modern user interface. Thousands of customers successfully balance their accounting transactions everyday - no need to do month end reports. We can't speak to the reason for the system crashes as this office remains anonymous and there could be any number of reasons for them. A large percentage of our customers have successfully transitioned to paperless. The ondontogram/ clinical note functionality has been upgraded in both ABELDent platform versions with the cloud version incorporating a bold new look and degree of customization. In summary, we have a documented high level of customer satisfaction however we realize we cannot keep every customer happy all the time.
My experience with AbelDent
Comments: Overall I love using Abeldent as it eases the booking and management of the patients
Pros:
It is very simple to use and book patients, also the reports that generate is really useful for the business.
Cons:
The password updating system, I know it is because of its high security but sometimes it’s very time consuming.

My experience with [sensitive content hidden]
Pros:
Switching to ABELDent was a great choice. [sensitive content hidden] assistance was amazing and met our training needs. There are many features that [sensitive content hidden] has shown us, and we are excited to learn about all the upcoming new features. Emailing and texting our pts for health history, upcoming and past due appts are great tools to communicate with our patients. My team is very happy with ABELDent.
Cons:
A little overwhelming at the beginning but once you get the hang of it the software is excellent

Great customer service !
Comments:
They care about customer service.
Software updates and new/improved features are rolled out on a regular basis.
We have been with ABELDent for over 10 years and have been satisfied clients.
Pros:
The tech support and customer training is fantastic. They have online education videos that walks you through how to use their products. But the best experience is through the live trainer sessions. They are very knowledgeable and patient. I got a lot of insight and tips not available from the videos.
Cons:
Occasionally it takes some time to get through to tech support by phone. But this happens with any company. The good thing is you have an option to leave a call back number or submit an email service request ticket. Depending on the urgency they can respond in timely fashion.

Daily Abeldent User
Comments: Good, I'm a very new user. I really enjoy trainer [sensitive content hidden], I request her everytime and come prepared with support needed and she's great to get down to business and provide me with step by step help.
Pros:
There's a lot of built in options to customize your software to your practice. I like that you can delete something and still view in a deleted section such as treatment.
Cons:
Patient information feel scattered everywhere in different windows. I'd love to see a one-stop-shop for all patient demographics, insurance, family members. I often don't know what pencil I'm needing to click and it's more time consuming that I'd like. I'd love to see a record of reserved time and be able to see what user is shortening or lengthening appointments or reserved time.

Thank you for your review! We are pleased to hear about your experience with our training team. We are always happy to help you with any dental software questions or concerns that may come up. The ABELDent patient file contains a lot of crucial information about each patient. The Patient Dashboard displays most information on one screen, and the Personal Sidebar summarizes a patient's information throughout the software. Setting up the Personal and Clinical Sidebars to suit your practice needs will simplify navigation. ABELDent Cloud and Local Plus include a helpful feature called the Global Navigation Bar, which can save you time by making the most common features one click away. If you want guidance on using the Global Navigation Bar or are unsure if your current version has it, please contact our team. We always welcome feedback on making the software easier to use, and we will consider your feedback for future updates. Thanks again for your review and your valuable feedback!

As a part of TASProvider.com I am delighted to write this 5-star review for Abeldent
Comments: is specifically designed for dental practices. The software has a strong focus on clinical workflows and is built to support the unique needs of dental practices, such as managing treatment plans, tracking dental histories, and handling patient images and X-rays.
Pros:
When it comes to developing software, it's important to keep in mind that the ease of maintenance is just as crucial as the functionality of the software itself. Abeldent doing a great job
Cons:
It's worth noting that individual experiences may vary, and what one user dislikes about Abeldent may not necessarily apply to everyone. Before making a decision, it's important to thoroughly research and compare different dental practice management software options to find the one that best meets your specific needs and preferences.

Thank you for reviewing ABELDent dental software! We are glad you find our all in one practice management workflow, scheduling, and billing functionalities useful.

Abeldent Review
Comments: I have been using ABELDent since 2004 and I like the software very well. Ms. Apurva Vashisht she is an excellent sales associate explained very clearly about all benefits can be achieved from ABELDent software to improve our dental business scheduling and including other benefits. Excellent ABELDent technical support team, they go beyond to resolve any issues affecting ABELDent software.
Pros:
Ease of use software, user friendly it has potential for adding useful features.
Cons:
A bit slow software. Sometimes glitches occurs with SQL services (2 out 10 services not running) after restarting the server PC, you have to go manually select not running SQL services to run. The default backup should not be in C drive, if C drive die you lose the backup, it is better to have your backup in a different drive. Does not have Medical/Dental dictation software with speech recognition, it would be the best to have instead of typing.

Thank you for your review and for being a long-time ABELDent client! Your feedback about adding useful features rings true! Our goal is to be your All in One solution! With our new products ABELDent LS+ (local solution) and ABELDent CS (our cloud solution), we are confident that we will continue to expand our features to support our customers even better. This also includes our voice activated perio charting, which eliminates much of the typing. We are sorry to hear that SQL Server is giving you some problems. Microsoft SQL Server is the most popular and one of the most stable databases globally, and these types of issues are very unusual. Simple actions like reinstalling SQL will typically clear up these types of problems with services and performance. Our technical support team will be happy to look at the specific errors and advise on the resolution. Our SQL backups can easily be directed to any drive. Of course, the local SQL backup does not replace a good regular offsite backup.
Abeldent LS+
Comments: I have been a client with Abeldent for more than 35years and from their business office to technical support they have always been a pleasure to work with. The new Abeldent LS+ has been easy to learn and adapt to, all of our staff have taken to it very quickly.
Pros:
Installation was seamless. Tutorials and education provided was easy to follow. In house training the best! Support always helpful and available.
Cons:
Needs more information on the business end for accounting. Daily Summarized Totals need to break down as previous programs did. Grand Totals of patients accounts not available in financials.

Comments: Good, prompt customer service in the event that support is needed.
Pros:
The single most important thing to any dental office is a full schedule. The automated messages by email and text are a huge time saver for the admin staff to confirm upcoming appointments and an amazing way to communicate with patients quickly and effectively.
