The new integration connects Align Technology’s iTero scanners with Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, and Dentally to automate data transfer and streamline workflows.
Henry Schein One has announced a direct data integration between Align Technology’s iTero intraoral scanners and its core practice management platforms—Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, and Dentally. The connection is designed to link digital scanning, diagnosis, and daily operations for dental practices.
Automating Clinical Workflows
Developed in collaboration with Align Technology, the integration automatically imports iTero scans directly into patient records within the practice management software. This feature aims to eliminate manual uploads, duplicate workflows, and the need for staff to switch between different systems.
“Today’s dental teams need technology that supports clinical confidence as much as operational efficiency. As a result of these technology investments, clinicians have immediate access to diagnostic insights inside their Dentrix, Ascend, and Dentally workflow—providing an opportunity to strengthen decision-making at scale,” says Dr Ryan Hungate, chief clinical and strategy officer at Henry Schein One, in a release.
Connecting Practice Operations
The integration is intended to simplify daily operations and support care coordination. Through the Dentally platform, these connected workflows will also be available to cloud-native practices in the UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.
“Digital solutions are transforming how care is delivered within dental practices. This integration enables clinicians to move from insight to action faster and deliver an enhanced patient experience,” says Sreelakshmi Kolli, executive vice president, chief product and digital officer at Align Technology, in a release.
The initial program for the integration was completed with Heartland Dental.
“Heartland Dental has partnered with Dentrix and iTero for years, making this next step a natural evolution. Together, we’re advancing technology that simplifies clinical workflows, strengthens insurance documentation, and gives our supported doctors and hygienists more time for what matters most—caring for patients and elevating its experience,” says Mark Greenstein, executive vice president and chief growth officer of Heartland Dental, in a release.
Availability
The iTero–Dentrix–Dentrix Ascend–Dentally integration is now available to eligible customers in North America and select international markets. The companies plan to expand availability to additional regions, depending on regulatory clearance and local requirements.
