Carelinq Dental vs DTX Studio Clinic
DEXIS’s 2D and 3D imaging platform for Windows and Mac: X-rays, CBCT, intraoral scans and photos, bridged to practice software. Carelinq Dental is practice management and imaging in one app, on Windows, Mac, iPad and Android tablets.
What changes
No bridge between chart and image
DTX Studio Clinic connects to practice software through bridges and integrators. In Carelinq Dental, imaging is a module of the practice system, so images already know the patient, tooth, exam and provider.
Add the iPad and Android
DTX Studio Clinic runs on Windows and Mac. Carelinq Dental also runs on iPad and Android tablets, with the same interface on each.
One subscription for the whole practice
There’s no separate imaging license, add-on module or bridge to pay for. Imaging comes with Carelinq Dental.
