Graphical charting

Plan, chart and track every procedure — tooth by tooth.

Benefits

What your clinical teams gain on day one.

Plan before you treat

Mark planned procedures on the chart before any treatment begins. Every planned item automatically generates a line in the patient's treatment plan, giving both the clinician and patient a clear picture of what lies ahead.

Real-time status

Colour-coded planned, completed and existing status on every tooth means any clinician opening the chart instantly understands the full treatment picture — no reading through free-text notes to establish context.

Material tracking

Filling, crown and bridge materials are displayed with indicative colours directly on the tooth diagram. Composite, amalgam, ceramic, gold and other materials are immediately distinguishable without opening a separate record.

Historical time-travel

View the odontogram exactly as it appeared at any previous visit. Scroll back to the first appointment or any specific date to understand what was present, planned and completed at that point in the patient's care journey.

Standardised notes

Tick-to-insert note templates ensure fast, consistent clinical documentation across all dentists in the practice. ICD-10 diagnosis codes are embedded in the templates for accurate coding without additional lookup steps.

Procedure-to-billing link

Every procedure charted on the odontogram generates a billable line automatically. No separate charge entry, no missed procedures, no discrepancy between the clinical record and the patient invoice.

Part of metaDENT

Dental Charts is one integrated module within metaDENT — sharing the same patient record, the same scheduler and the same billing engine.

The dental chart is the clinical hub from which everything else flows. A procedure recorded on the odontogram simultaneously updates the treatment plan, triggers a billable entry, and — when a lab order is involved — initiates a dental lab work order with the tooth and shade pre-populated. Intra-oral images captured at the same visit are linked directly to the affected tooth on the chart.

Because metaDENT runs on the metaSOFT HMS platform, the dental chart is part of the same longitudinal patient record as the patient's hospital encounters, prescriptions and lab results. A dental clinician can see the patient's full medical history — including allergies and systemic medications — before charting or prescribing, without leaving the dental chart screen.
