Dental Clinic Software Features
Every module of Dentrah, from the front desk to the dental chair.
Dentrah is all-in-one dental clinic software with billing and appointments in the same system, used in a web browser and on Android and iOS. This page describes what each module does: patient management, appointment scheduling, the odontogram, examinations, treatment plans, prescriptions, dental billing, doctor commission, inventory, accounting and reports, across one clinic or several branches in one account.
Quick answer
Dentrah has twelve modules: patients, appointments, a 32-tooth odontogram, examinations, treatment plans, itemised billing with part payments, prescriptions, doctor revenue share, inventory, cash-basis accounting, reports, and staff and branch permissions. They run in a browser and on Android and iOS. The free month and recommended plan include every module; the limited plan leaves out the clinical, inventory, revenue-share and accounting modules.

Which modules each paid plan includes is shown in the plan comparison on the pricing page.
Patient Management and Appointment Scheduling
The front-desk side of dental clinic software: who the patient is, when they are coming and which doctor sees them.
Clinic Dashboard and Live Queue
The dashboard opens on the clinic's day: the appointment scheduler across every doctor, the live queue of patients waiting, and quick access to the main modules for dentists and front-desk staff.
- Today's appointments by doctor and time slot
- Live queue of arrived patients
- Quick navigation to patients, billing and other modules
Dental Patient Management
Each patient has a digital record with an MRN, contact details, medical history, allergies and alerts. One timeline merges the patient's appointments, examinations, treatment plans, procedures, prescriptions, invoices, payments and uploaded files, so staff stop searching paper files. The record, the timeline and what a paperless file actually contains are covered on the dental patient management software page.
- Name, phone, email and WhatsApp number
- Gender, date of birth and age, blood group
- Area and city, referral source
- Medical history, allergies and alerts
- Outstanding balance on the patient record
Dental Appointment Scheduling
Staff book appointments in a drag-and-drop scheduler by doctor and time slot, recording visit type, presenting complaint and proposed procedure. Reminders go out with one tap on WhatsApp from the appointment row, using templates the clinic writes. Reminders are sent by staff; there is no automated bulk sending and no patient self-booking. The diary itself is set out on the dental appointment scheduling software page, and the reminder side under WhatsApp appointment reminders for dental clinics.
- Drag-and-drop booking by doctor and slot
- Visit type, presenting complaint and proposed procedure
- Appointment status and live queue
- One-tap WhatsApp reminders from clinic templates
Doctors, Staff and Branches
Each doctor has a specialisation, a commission percentage and a weekly schedule of working days, start and end times, appointment duration and serial type. Every staff member gets an individual login with per-module permissions. As multi branch dental clinic software, one account holds every branch: staff are assigned to the branch they work in, and revenue, appointment and collection reports roll up across all of them.
- Weekly availability per doctor
- Individual staff logins with per-module permissions
- Multiple branches in one account
Dental EMR: Charting, Examinations and Treatment Plans
The clinical record: what the dentist found, what was planned and what was done.
Odontogram and Dental Examinations
The interactive 32-tooth odontogram lets the dentist record findings such as caries, filling, RCT, crown, extraction, implant or missing directly on each tooth, with adult and child jaw options and multi-tooth selection when one finding applies to several teeth. Examinations and investigations, including radiographs, record the chief complaint and diagnosis. How charting works in detail is on the dental charting and odontogram software page.
Dental Treatment Plans with Voice Notes
Treatment plans are built from examination findings, priced per procedure and tracked from started to finished. Notes can be added to the plan and to each procedure, and dictated by voice in the web browser (in English). Finished procedures carry straight onto the invoice. The full workflow is on the dental treatment planning software page, and the guide to writing dental clinical notes covers what to record.
- Plans created from examination findings
- Price per procedure
- Progress from started to finished
- Plan and procedure notes, with voice dictation
Digital Dental Prescriptions
The dental prescription software is opened straight from the patient's record. A medicine catalogue fills dosage, frequency and duration, the dentist adds instructions and notes, and the prescription prints on the clinic's own letterhead and stays in the patient's history, so a repeat is a copy of the last one rather than a rewrite.
Dental Billing Software, Commission and Accounting
Invoices, payments, doctor payouts, stock and expenses in the same system as the clinical record.
Dental Billing and Payments
Invoices are itemised with quantity, price and discount per line, accept part payments, show outstanding balances and print on the clinic letterhead. The billing currency is set once in the clinic profile, so every invoice is raised in the clinic's own currency. Payments are recorded as cash, card or bank transfer: Dentrah records how the patient paid rather than collecting the money, so there is no card or online payment processing and no payment-gateway integration. Tax is not calculated. Because the diary and the invoices are the same system, a finished appointment becomes a billable line without retyping. See the dental billing and invoicing software page, and the guide to what every dental invoice should show.
- Line-level quantity, price and discount
- Part payments and outstanding balances
- Invoice printed on clinic letterhead
Dental Inventory Management
The dental inventory management software keeps stock levels of materials and supplies, with low-stock alerts that warn before a composite, an anaesthetic or an endodontic file runs out mid-procedure. It sits in the same account as the diary and the invoices, so ordering is decided from the clinic's own numbers.
Cash-Basis Clinic Accounting
Accounting records money in and money out: patient payments, clinic expenses and doctor payouts, in a transaction ledger. It is cash-basis bookkeeping for a clinic, not a double-entry accounting suite.
- Clinic expenses
- Transaction ledger with dates and amounts
- Patient payments and doctor payouts
Dental Clinic Reports
Reports cover revenue, appointments and collections, and roll up across branches, so the owner can see what the clinic earned and collected in a period.
Clinic Settings and Dropdown Values
Administrators maintain the dropdown values used across modules, the clinic profile (including currency and letterhead) and the WhatsApp reminder templates, so data entry stays consistent for every staff member.
How the Modules Connect
The modules share one patient record. A finding charted on the odontogram becomes a line in the treatment plan, finished procedures become invoice lines, payments reduce the outstanding balance, and each paid line drives the treating doctor's commission and the accounting ledger. Nothing is retyped between the chair and the front desk.
Each module in depth
Seven modules have a page of their own, describing the screens, the limits and the plan each one needs:
- Dental patient management software — the patient profile, medical history and one timeline across every record type.
- Dental appointment scheduling software — the drag-and-drop diary by doctor and slot, and the live queue.
- WhatsApp appointment reminders for dental clinics — one-tap reminders sent by staff from clinic templates.
- Dental charting and odontogram software — the 32-tooth chart and the findings it records per tooth.
- Dental treatment planning software — plans priced per procedure and tracked from started to finished.
- Dental billing and invoicing software — itemised invoices, part payments and outstanding balances on the clinic letterhead.
- Dental revenue sharing and commission software — associate commission per invoice line on net, with payouts recorded.
One Account, Every Branch
A clinic that opens a second location does not need a second subscription or a second patient database. As multi branch dental clinic software, Dentrah keeps every branch in one account: staff logins carry per-module permissions, appointments and invoices stay attached to the branch that raised them, and revenue, appointment and collection reports roll up across all branches for the owner. Pricing stays per clinic per month rather than per user, so the front desk, the assistants and the associate dentists all get their own login at no extra charge.
Getting Started and Mobile Access
There is nothing to install: staff log in from a web browser, and the Android and iOS apps work on the same clinic data. Dentrah runs on the jDent dental practice platform. Your clinic account opens at app.jdentclinic.com and the mobile app is listed as jDent in the app stores. Existing patient records can be imported from spreadsheets or another system with no import fee, and the first month (30 days) is free with every module. How the cloud system is built and secured is on the technology page.
