Reviews of ABELDent
Abeldent -
Comments: I have been working on Abeldent for 30 years. (When it started as a database). They STILL have the same team members since 1989. That tells you something. I have worked in other offices with other software programs, but nothing is compared to Abeldent.
Pros:
Abeldent is always ahead of new dental technology. If you want to use the basic fundamentals of the software, it is quite easy and user-friendly. If you want to explore more advanced settings of the software, that is an option as well. It offers so much. I find Abeldent has an easy appointment scheduler to navigate. The financial tab, to me, is so well done. It gives you so many options to view. It is well designed. I think that if team members would enjoy the financial more if they were trained properly on the financial tab. I enjoy the reports menu and contact lists. It's endless
Cons:
Since the update, the receipt printing is a little slower. HOWEVER, Abeldent team always listens to their customers and ensures that requests are at the forefront and these requested are usually updated in the next version.

Thanks for being such a loyal user of ABELDent. And yes, you are correct in stating that many of our early employees are still with the company after several decades of service!
Alternatives Considered:
Moving to AbelDent has been the best decision for our practice
Comments: I like that I can receive personal support anytime I have a question. I have been working with [sensitive content hidden] and she is fantastic! She has made herself available every time I have requested assistance. Her patience, extensive knowledge of AbelDent and ability to help me resolve any and all issues has exceeded my expectations.
Pros:
I like the ease of using AbelDent and the excellent training and support they have provided.
Cons:
I have not encountered any cons at this time. I will update this in the future but as of now our needs are being met by the AbelDent team.

Outdated Dental Software
Comments: I used the software for 2 years and 3 months. I am grateful my employer was willing to switch to a modern dental software system and move away from the very antiquated ABELDent.
Pros:
Two things I liked about ABELDent was that when you write a note about the appointment, it is date stamped and locked to the appointment. This was helpful. Along with the notes section that was either for that specific day and a section that was carried through every day. Two things that I could live without.
Cons:
The software is outdated and "in transition". I have never used a dental software that has been "in between versions". There were certain functions with billing that would only work if you followed through with the second function otherwise you would get errors and the system would crash. The software crashed a lot and was not user friendly. Support calls were never very supportive and they usually didn't have the answer because their software was "in transition" to their next version. The accounting reports were miles long and was a headache for our accountant. They frequently didn't balance and I had to run a "silent report" to then refresh the system and try processing my month end for the second time hoping it would balance as the system confused it's own numbers. It is not user friendly capable of transitioning an office to go paperless with charts. The odontogram and charting is not modern. Appointments would occasionally "disappear" with no trace! Appointments cannot extending by dragging the appointment down, you must click into the appointment and extend the units of time.

Customers only receive fully tested general release versions - "transition versions remain in development until ready for general release unless the customer agrees to beta testing. We now offer two platforms - local server solution with a traditional windows interface and a cloud server solution with a fresh modern user interface. Thousands of customers successfully balance their accounting transactions everyday - no need to do month end reports. We can't speak to the reason for the system crashes as this office remains anonymous and there could be any number of reasons for them. A large percentage of our customers have successfully transitioned to paperless. The ondontogram/ clinical note functionality has been upgraded in both ABELDent platform versions with the cloud version incorporating a bold new look and degree of customization. In summary, we have a documented high level of customer satisfaction however we realize we cannot keep every customer happy all the time.
My experience with [sensitive content hidden]
Pros:
Switching to ABELDent was a great choice. [sensitive content hidden] assistance was amazing and met our training needs. There are many features that [sensitive content hidden] has shown us, and we are excited to learn about all the upcoming new features. Emailing and texting our pts for health history, upcoming and past due appts are great tools to communicate with our patients. My team is very happy with ABELDent.
Cons:
A little overwhelming at the beginning but once you get the hang of it the software is excellent

Great customer service !
Comments:
They care about customer service.
Software updates and new/improved features are rolled out on a regular basis.
We have been with ABELDent for over 10 years and have been satisfied clients.
Pros:
The tech support and customer training is fantastic. They have online education videos that walks you through how to use their products. But the best experience is through the live trainer sessions. They are very knowledgeable and patient. I got a lot of insight and tips not available from the videos.
Cons:
Occasionally it takes some time to get through to tech support by phone. But this happens with any company. The good thing is you have an option to leave a call back number or submit an email service request ticket. Depending on the urgency they can respond in timely fashion.
