What are the differences between the Startup, Standard
and Professional Editions?
The Startup edition is limited to managing 1500 patients or less, and
it's very low cost is perfect for dentists who are either just setting up a
practice, or who deliberately maintain a low number of patients. The
Standard edition houses more functions than the Startup edition and
increases the patient limit to 4000. The Professional edition has no
limitations and allows full access to all the functionality of the program.

Can a
demonstration be arranged at our practice?
Generally we do not do on site visits as are trying to move to a more
on-line system (which is why we provide a full demo download). This
enables us to keep the cost of the product down and allows you to test the
program in the comfort of your own home and over an extended period.
However we are happy to do a remote demonstration so that we can take you
through the various aspects of the program and answer any questions you
may have. Simply select "Contact Us" from menu on the left.

Which
x-ray systems do you currently have interfaces for?
There are literally dozens of different x-ray packages on the market and
different dental practices use different systems. Therefore we
work on the policy of developing links as and when we find dentists
using a system we haven't catered for.
So far the list includes Digirex, Digora, EastDent/EWoo/Vatech, Gendex Vixwin,
Genoray Triana, Kavo, Mediadent,
Planmeca, ProImage,
Schick, Sirona Sidexis, Sopro, Suni, Trophy (Kodak) and Vistascan DBSWIN.
If you use a digital x-ray system that is not listed here, we will
gladly set up an interface to it free of charge.

Can I generate all my recalls and appointment
reminders through Bridge-IT?
Yes. Bridge-IT houses a comprehensive recall and appointment
reminder system that allows you to communicate with your patients by e-mail,
letter or SMS text message directly to a patients phone. These
processes can be completely automated so you never need to do anything,
Bridge-IT will simply handle it all for you.

Does
your program cater for the NHS?
Yes. We have released a fully approved NHS extension which enables
dentists either to create and print out the relevant claims forms, or to
communicate data via the EDI internet link directly to the DPB web site.
Bridge-IT automatically calculates the relevant charge band based on the
treatments that have been administered, therefore most claims can be
generated by just two clicks of the mouse button.

What about NHS
Orthodontics?
Bridge-IT is fully approved for NHS orthodontics and allows full entry
of the orthodontic claim information which can also be either printed or
sent electronically to the DPB.

Can I import my patient data from another system?
Bridge-IT has comprehensive imports for many systems including Kodak and
SOE. It can also import appointments, basic patient contact information, last recall date,
financial status
etc from any comma delimited file such as those produced by Excel, Outlook
or any other system. In some circumstances it is also possible to import
clinical notes to the patients record. A comma delimited file usually has a .csv file extension and has fields
separated by a comma. For example:
"Jenny","Smith","15 Watts Way","High Wycombe" etc etc
In regard to importing additional data our usual policy is to examine
your current database, and then give you an assessment of what can be
extracted. Limitations of what can be imported generally lie with the
old system rather than in Bridge-IT.

Can Bridge-IT run on 64-bit operating systems?

of our development on 64-bit machines.
