Appointment Diary
Fast, intuitive diary allows you to view and schedule appointments for any provider. Features the ability to drag and drop appointments if the time is changed, colour appointments to represent their status and the ability to instantly find the next available appointment space.

Virtual Waiting Room
Dentist can see who is waiting to see them, and is warned when the patient has been waiting a long time.

Photo ID's in Patient Record
Receptionists and Dentists can see a photograph of the patient about to arrive.

Full Patient Charting and Treatment Planning
Graphical representation of patients treatments, both planned and completed. Treatment proposals and estimates can be prepared during consultation and printed for the patient to take away.

Treatment Options
The dentist can create various treatment options for the patient and print out the choices on a single fully illustrated plan.  When the patient has chosen an option, the dentist can instantly convert that option into an actual course of treatment.

Perio Charting
Full colour 6 point perio charting can be quickly recorded, printed and given to the patient, including the option to perform a Basic Perio Exam (BPE).

Visual Notes
Not only can you record notes against each tooth, but visual notes enable you to view a picture of the tooth or the mouth from different angles. You can quickly add annotations to this picture in any colour you like, highlighting any problem areas, and then print it in full colour if necessary.

Automated Patient Recalls
No patient is ever missed using the automated recall system. The program will scan every patient and produce recall letters for those who are due for an appointment.

Automated Appointment Reminders
The program will automatically create reminders for all your patients who have booked appointments.  Patients can be sent letters, e-mails or SMS text messages direct to their mobile phone.

Task Scheduling
A built in task scheduling system enables you to quickly assign various tasks to different members of staff either immediately, or at a future time. You simply schedule the time and date for the task to be done, and when the time arrives, the assigned staff member will see the task clearly appear on their screen. Tasks can be discarded or rescheduled to appear at a later date.

Estimate / Billing / Paying System
Handles the production of estimates, billing and payment of every treatment. Reception can generate invoices and payment receipts as soon as the patient has completed their treatment. The billing system is fully integrated so you can easily keep track of the patients transactions and financial status.

Links to Digital Radiography Systems
We have links to virtually all the commonly used digital imaging systems including Digirex, Digora, EastDent/EWoo/Vatech, Gendex Vixwin, Genoray Triana, Kavo, Mediadent, Planmeca, ProImage, Schick, Sirona Sidexis, Sopro, Suni, Trophy (Kodak) and Vistascan DBSWIN.  Patient images stored in any system can immediately be displayed from the Bridge-IT patient record.

Patient Education Animations and Leaflets
Displays comprehensive 3D animations of over 160 different procedures, enabling you to show the patient exactly how their treatment will be carried out. Once the animation has been displayed, you can print out a series of leaflets that the patient can take away with them.

Comprehensive Reporting
Bridge-IT comes with a standard suite of built-in reports, providing you with invaluable information on every aspect of your practice. Additional reports can be custom built to suit your requirements, and can be designed to present information in either a written format, or by using graphical charts.

Interactive Tools
Interactive tutorials talk you, step-by-step, through any procedure you would like to learn, getting you to actually perform the task and learn as you go.

Internal Word Processor
Bridge-IT houses it's own internal word processor, therefore fields within Bridge-IT can be visually merged into your document making it fast and simple to create any letters from within the program.

Microsoft Word Interface
For dentists who want to continue to use the power of Microsoft Word, Bridge-IT has full integration with the program, enabling any information stored in the program to be used in producing automated letters.

Security Control
Bridge-IT gives you complete control over program security. Using a simple interface, it allows you to permit or deny access to any area of the program. Of course, only authorized users are able to gain access to the software, preventing abuse of the system. A tracking function enables you to quickly see who among your staff last made changes to a given area.
