Dental excellence

From first appointment to signed lab order — every step digital.

Benefits

What your dental clinic gains from day one.

Six measurable improvements that dentists, front-desk staff and clinic managers notice within the first week of go-live.

Visual treatment planning

The graphical odontogram turns the treatment plan into a shared visual language between clinician and patient — planned, in-progress and completed procedures colour-coded on a single chart that both parties can read instantly.

Imaging at the chair

Intra-oral X-rays acquired from sensors or TWAIN scanners appear directly in the patient dental chart — no separate imaging workstation, no USB drive handoff. Historical images are one click away for comparison.

Lab orders that never go missing

Every prosthetic and lab work order is tracked from issuance through the four delivery stages — Started, Completed, Implanted, Delivered. The expected delivery date automatically suggests the next available patient appointment slot.

Full-capacity scheduling

Colour-coded calendar views per dentist and dental chair with automated SMS reminders, wait-list management and overbooking rules. Every surgery runs at full capacity — gaps created by no-shows are filled automatically from the wait-list.

Zero missed charges

Every procedure charted on the odontogram generates a billable line automatically. Package and bundle pricing, copay collection at the chair, and insurance eligibility verification happen before the patient leaves — no manual charge entry, no revenue leakage.

Regulatory-ready billing

NPHIES (KSA) and DHA/HAAD (UAE) claim generation, rejection tracking and resubmission built in. Audit trails meet JCI documentation requirements — no manual preparation for accreditation surveys.

Capabilities

Every tool a modern dental clinic needs — nothing it doesn't.

Eight core capability areas that together make metaDENT a complete, production-ready dental platform — built on the same engine as metaSOFT HMS.

Dental Charts — Odontogram

Fully graphical odontogram supporting 17 procedure types: root canal treatment, extractions, fillings (amalgam, composite, GIC), crowns, bridges, implants, veneers, fissure sealants, PRR, dentures and more. Each procedure is colour-coded by status (planned / in-progress / completed / existing condition) and material type. Free-hand drawing, text annotations and icon markers on any tooth surface. Time-travel view lets clinicians review the exact chart state at any prior visit — essential for treatment continuity and medico-legal documentation.

Periodontal Charting

Graphical recording of all major periodontal parameters: furcation classification (Class I/II/III), food impaction sites, 6-point pocket depth measurements per tooth, abscess location, mobility grade (I/II/III) and gingival margin position. Supports both FDI (International) and ADA Universal tooth numbering systems — enabling use in any clinical environment without reconfiguration. Periodontal summary charts generate automatically for patient education and recall appointment planning.

Dental Imaging

Store intra-oral X-rays, panoramic radiographs and clinical photographs directly in the patient dental chart — no separate imaging workstation needed. Supports DICOM, JPG, BMP and TIFF formats. Full image manipulation: zoom, flip, rotate, brightness, contrast, sharpening and invert filters. Side-by-side comparison of 2 or 4 images for before/after and treatment progress views. Direct acquisition interfaces for intra-oral sensors and TWAIN-compatible scanners and cameras.

Dental Lab Work Orders

Create and track prosthetic and laboratory orders with complete shade diagrams, detailed work plans, required and expected delivery dates, and a technician calendar showing due orders in daily, weekly and monthly views. Four status flags — Started, Completed, Implanted, Delivered — with colour-coding for priority and overdue alerts. Expected delivery date automatically calculates and suggests the earliest valid patient appointment slot. All lab costs link directly to the patient invoice — no charge goes unrecorded.

Appointment Scheduling & Queue Management

Online and walk-in booking with resource-aware slot management across multiple dentists and dental chairs. Colour-coded calendar by practitioner, chair and appointment type. Automated SMS and WhatsApp reminders at configurable intervals before the appointment. Overbooking rules and real-time wait-list promotion configurable per clinic. Queue display screen integration for patient-facing waiting area management. Handles multi-stage treatments — root canal in stages, implant phases — with automatic follow-up scheduling.

EMR & Clinical Notes

ICD-10 diagnosis coding with structured clinical notes and free-text at every visit. Full treatment plan history with version comparison. Allergy alerts fire automatically at prescription entry — pulled from the shared patient master used across HMS, so the dentist sees hospital allergies without a separate lookup. Tick-to-insert note templates for common dental presentations speed documentation and enforce consistency across all clinicians in the practice. Referral letters generated directly from the chart.

Billing & Insurance

Every charted procedure generates a billable line automatically — no double entry. Package and bundle pricing, copay and deductible collection at point of care, and real-time insurance eligibility verification before treatment begins. Automated claim generation, rejection tracking and resubmission workflow. Supports NPHIES (KSA), DHA and HAAD (UAE) payer schemas and configurable custom payer contracts. Dental fee schedules linked to procedure codes on the odontogram — the chart and the invoice are always in sync.

Prescriptions & Pharmacy

Prescriptions written in the dental chart route to the in-house pharmacy module without a separate order. Drug interaction checking and allergy cross-reference at point of prescribing. Common dental prescription templates (analgesics, antibiotics, mouthwash regimens) reduce entry time. Prescription history is visible on the dental chart and the pharmacy dispensing screen simultaneously — the same patient record, the same data, no synchronisation required.

Odontogram procedure types

17 procedure types charted graphically.

Every common restorative, surgical and preventive procedure is represented as a distinct graphical symbol on the odontogram — colour-coded by material and treatment status so the chart is readable at a glance.

Imaging & data formats

Open formats — connect any imaging device.

Part of metaSOFT HMS

Built on the same platform as HMS — not integrated with it.

What shared platform means in practice

  • One patient master — dental patients are the same records as hospital patients. A referring physician sees dental history; the dentist sees hospital allergies — no lookup, no middleware.
  • One login — log in to HMS and open the dental module, billing, pharmacy or PACS viewer in the same session. Role-based access determines what each user sees.
  • One general ledger — dental billing posts directly to the ERP general ledger. No export, no batch job, no reconciliation step.
  • One pharmacy — prescriptions written in the dental chart route directly to the pharmacy dispensing queue. The pharmacist sees the prescription; the dentist sees when it was dispensed.
  • Grow without re-implementing — a standalone dental clinic that grows into a multi-specialty facility activates additional HMS modules on the same installation. The dental workflows, data and users remain exactly as they were.
