Please can all Dentist have total no of UDAs submitted on the dashboard … it will make things easy 

Would love some guidance on how to edit a previously charted filling when during treatment the surfaces involved change, eg; an occlusal cavity planned for an occlusal restoration  extends to become a DO. Currently we find we have to delete  the initial item and re-chart. This is a faff but also not medico legally prudent as it changes the point of diagnoses. 

we have some patients who come privately for initial appt and then wish to change to denplan if they need a lot of treatment carried out as we offer discount. it would be helpful to be able to move the treatment plan to denplan pricing without having to rechart is this possible. has anyone a work around

Hi everyone 👋 Im Anke,  a Product Manager for Dentally.  I’m currently doing some research into how practices would like to handle prescriptions, and I’d really value your input.We know every practice works differently, so I’m keen to understand:How you currently create and manage prescriptions What works well for you today Where things are painful, manual, or time‑consuming What an ideal prescription workflow would look like for your practiceThis isn’t about promoting a new feature yet — it’s about listening and understanding your real‑world needs so we can make better decisions moving forward.If you’re happy to share your experience (even briefly), please comment below. Specific examples are especially helpful.Thanks so much for helping us shape what comes next

Hi I notice dentally stopped letting me unlock the notes after charging. this is within an hour after treatment has not been completed.i have tried everything 

Are there any plans to add the UDA tracker as is in EXACT to dentally ?- much needed 

I'd like to provide feedback on your DIrect Messages feature. The windows to see the list of contacts is too small, and there is no appropriate signs as to which conversation has been read or not. Perhaps this features requires some reworking, as it is specially frustrating on large practices with dozens of staff texting. In fact, you cannot even read their full names if too long. Please fix this as this is a huge quality of lifeimprovement for a very good platform.

It would be great if the charting for base and treatment planning was much simpler with icons for the regular work that is completed next to the teeth in charting. 

HI we are having problems with generating a miscellaneous claims in the new Wales contract, the ‘acute mucosal conditions’ and ‘re cement inlay’ do not generate a miscellaneous treatment package, so we are having to use other codes to generate this, however this is not accurate for what we are doing. could this be corrected or should we be doing something else? 

could you conform that denture repairs require the patient to pay a lab fee on the new wales contract?my colleague has a problem when a patient was exempt for exam (over 60 exempt exam only) and he needed to claim a denture repair. having input the lab fee, it did not come up with a charge for the patient for the lab fee unless he took out the age exemption, could you clarify what should be happening please? 

Currently the list of medical conditions is long and hard to understand.Could I suggest a drop down list to select from.Also, comon conditions like ADHD and Autism are missing completely. These are both very common and need to be slected as they require different management to other conditions, especially in the chair.

when submitting a course of treatment in Wales that includes an Acorn, it is being rejected if it has ‘prescription of fluoride toothpaste’ in the claim.the prescription is generating a ‘miscellaneous’ claim, which is not ‘compatible’ with the claim.does this item need to be ‘miscellaneous’? could it just have no claim attached so we can use it in a course of treatment?

We recently switched to Dentally and wondering why we can’t have multiple “416” codes?I’ll click of 416 and it REQUIRES me to click a tooth for the treatment plan. Said tooth needs 3 x 416 codes and it won’t allow me to do it. Everytime I try to add the second 416 code, it deletes the first one. I have video proof of this happening. I also waited until the “saved” tab in the corner disappears after adding the first 416 code. The same thing happens with the 418 codes.Please rectify this ASAP!!!

Hi there,Would be so great to have voice perio charting for hygienists?

is there a way to have it stated on an estimate for patients what treatment is private & which is NHS instead of having to open two courses of treatment and print/email two separate estimates? if we can chart NHS and private together it would be handy to be able to print them together clearly so patients understand which is which 

When I copy my neat notes from Microsoft Word to dentally , dentally automatically changes my notes to simple font and size. Is there anywhere I can override this? My notes are quite long and neat in dentally it looks all over the place.  Many thanks  for your support

A suggestion for an automatic email/SMS to patients when their Medical History needs updating, instead of having to do them individually.

For clinicians, to streamline treatment plans, please make it so that when I mark a treatment as complete or charge or submit an NHS claim that it marks the appointment as complete

We have identified an issue whereby selecting the ‘stabilisation’ care package; along with the treatments required for stabilisation stacks the care packages on top of each other.For example 2 extractions and 5 fillings on carious teeth should trigger only the stabilisation care package; but when charting the treatment planned it stacks the simple and extensive restorative packages as well; effectively charging the patient for each care package which is incorrect.The workaround we currently found is to list our own stabilisation treatments and numbered them VHNS1, VHNS2 etc. and set them up as the treatments required on band 1 with the very high needs stabilisation marker.We have set these up for XLA, Fillings, and removal of PRFs for the time being. Is this an oversight in light of the huge changes that have been implemented?Should dentally not ‘see’ the stabilisation package and as such technically ignore further care packages from getting

The cost per item and the total payable for the appointment shows only in private treatments. Please adapt to also show for NHS items so patients can be told how much a fee or appointment will cost without manually scrolling to the bottom and adding it up. The current setup works for a UDA system but not for fee per item. This already exists for private items so should be easily adaptable. 

Hi,I’m sure that I can’t be the only dentist frustrated with Dentally’s reticence to provide an extra and intraoral Mouth Map… how else can we record oral pathology each time we see our patients? I’ve  been regularly asking for this facility since moving from SOE to Dentally in 2020, but to date, no progress! Perhaps the community could help push Dentally’s software development team to facilitate this extremely important function; it seems crazy to have to revert to separate paper-based records! 

On Exact, we used to be able to click create and estimate select all COTs and it would generate all estimates accordingly. On dentally not only do you need to do it per COT you have to make sure you've selected the correct estimate type (NHS / Private). Dentally doesn't clearly separate NHS and Private treatment. Having the option to limit / label a COT as private or NHS like what was possible on EXACT would be incredibly helpful. 

In SOE Exact, it had a timer that started when you clicked the pt in surgery so you could see how long you’d spent with them. This was a great feature, please can you add it to Dentally

Why is the save button at the bottom so i have to constantly scroll down to see it? The Save and Continue button is unreliable and i prefer to save this way, but the button was moved to make way for the Ai function which is useless to me. Its so annoying.

hi every time an xray is developed an automatic radiographic report appears in my notes, how do i stop this, i already have my own report
