ABELDent

What ABELDent is

ABELDent is dental practice management software for scheduling, charting, billing, imaging, and patient communication. It is available as a cloud solution or Local Plus, which keeps data on the practice’s own infrastructure. ABELDent Cloud stores data in a Microsoft Azure environment and describes safeguards including encryption in storage and transit, role-based access, activity monitoring, and automated backups. Patient tools include self-booking, two-way texting, broadcast messaging, reminders, and online intake forms. Clinical notes can be drafted as structured suggestions from provider–patient conversations for review and approval. Imaging integrations include Dexis, Sidexis, VixWin, and TigerView. Insurance functions cover electronic claims, ITRANS attachments, benefit estimates, and automated RAMQ submissions in Quebec. The software supports multiple locations and provider calendars. Its Freemium plan is listed as free and is presented for evaluation, learning, smaller or new practices, hygiene practices, and dental education. The plan uses a free Microsoft database; some services cost extra, and LMS access is limited to 90 days, renewable month to month.
