Acquiring Images - Video

Patients require x-rays for many different reasons. In most cases, it is part of their routine check-up; however, patients always have the ability to refuse having images taken. This makes assigning x-rays to an appointment potentially inaccurate.  Dentrix Ascend solves this issue by giving providers the ability to charge out the images during the acquisition process.
