Odontogram, X-rays and the treatment estimate in one patient record.
EFRION MIS Dental is built on the EFRION MIS core and shaped for dentistry: the tooth chart, DICOM imaging, staged treatment plans with a visible estimate, and cost per procedure. One record per patient across every chair and every location.

Why practices are automating now
Reimbursement is not keeping pace with what a practice costs to run. Since 2015 provider reimbursement has risen to an index of 130 while hourly pay for dental staff has reached 144 and general inflation 138 — the ADA Health Policy Institute calls this a fiscal squeeze. Hiring more hands is not the answer either: among practices that recruited recently, 88.3% rate hiring hygienists very or extremely challenging. What is left is getting more out of the hours already worked.
The record is in three places
The tooth chart lives in one system, X-rays on a workstation in the imaging room, the treatment plan in a spreadsheet. Before a follow-up the dentist reassembles the history by hand — which is time that was already scarce and is now down an hour a week.
The patient hears a number, not a plan
A treatment plan explained verbally is a number the patient cannot check. Staged plans with a visible estimate per stage give the patient something to decide on rather than react to.
Margin per chair is invisible
Practice revenue is known; what a specific procedure costs in materials, lab work and chair time is not. Without it, discounts and price lists are set by feel while costs rise faster than reimbursement.
What's included
- Odontogram: tooth-by-tooth chart with condition history per surface
- DICOM imaging: X-rays attached to the patient record, viewable in the chart
- Staged treatment plans with a per-stage estimate the patient can see
- Cost per procedure: materials, lab work and chair time, not an estimate by feel
- Appointment scheduling: online booking, reminders, chair and doctor assignment
- Recall automation: scheduled follow-up outreach without manual call lists
- Billing and till: payment per stage, deposits, plan-linked invoicing
- P&L per doctor and per chair — daily, not at month end
- Multi-location: one patient record across every clinic in the network
- Shared core with EFRION MIS and Pharmacy: a network with a clinic and a pharmacy stays in one system
How it compares to the market standard
| Status quo | EFRION MIS Dental |
|---|---|
| Tooth chart, imaging and treatment plan in three systems that do not talk | One record: odontogram, DICOM and the staged plan on the same patient |
| The estimate is explained verbally and the patient decides on a number | Staged plan with a visible estimate per stage — the patient decides on a plan |
| Cost per procedure is unknown; discounts are set by feel | Materials, lab work and chair time priced per procedure |
| Revenue is known by practice; margin per doctor and per chair is not | Daily P&L per doctor and per chair |
| Recall is a manual call list somebody has to remember | Scheduled recall runs on its own; the schedule fills without calls |
| A dental network runs separate software from the clinic and the pharmacy | One core with EFRION MIS and Pharmacy — the network stays in one system |

Is EFRION MIS Dental a separate product or part of EFRION MIS?
A separate product built on the EFRION MIS core. The clinical model is different — odontogram, DICOM, staged treatment plans with an estimate — so it is its own service with its own data. A network running both a general clinic and a dental practice keeps one patient identity across them.
Can X-rays be viewed inside the patient record?
Yes. DICOM images are attached to the patient and open in the chart alongside the odontogram, so the history does not have to be reassembled from an imaging workstation before a follow-up.
How is cost per procedure calculated?
From materials consumed, lab work billed to the case, and chair time. That gives margin per procedure, per doctor and per chair rather than revenue per practice.
Does it work for a network of clinics?
Yes. One patient record across every location, with P&L per doctor and per chair rolled up per clinic and across the network.
Is patient data stored securely?
EFRION operates in full compliance with personal data regulations applicable in the country of deployment — including data localization, access control, and audit trail requirements for medical records.
How quickly can it go live?
A standard practice deployment completes in 3–4 weeks: setup and data import, staff training, then a parallel run before go-live. Each additional location adds 1–2 weeks.
