Hygienists are getting time back

Dr. Sarah Mitchell Practice owner, Dentrix Ascend customer
We used to skip comprehensive perio exams on busy days — there wasn't time without a second person. With Voice Perio, my hygienist runs a full chart on every patient. It's changed how we practice.
Jenna Park, RDH Dental hygienist, Dentrix Ascend customer
I used to dread short-staffed days because charting would back up the whole schedule. Now I just call out the numbers and keep moving. The data's already in Ascend before I'm done with the pocket.
