Carelinq Dental vs Apteryx XVWeb
Planet DDS’s cloud imaging software: capture on a Windows PC, view in the browser, with XVWeb 3D for CBCT and STL. Carelinq Dental is practice management and imaging in one app, on Windows, Mac, iPad and Android tablets.
What changes
Stop paying for imaging twice
XVWeb is a subscription on top of your practice software. Carelinq Dental includes imaging, so the schedule, chart, ledger and every image share one system.
Images that know the chart
Because imaging is native, a bitewing knows which teeth, exam and provider it belongs to, without an integration in between.
Full apps, not only a browser
Carelinq Dental has apps for Windows, Mac, iPad and Android tablets, all built on the same interface.
