Helping You Do More with Your Dentrix System

Updated 9/18/2019

The Patient Picture feature displays a full-color portrait that you can access from patient-specific Dentrix modules including the Appointment Book, Family File, Patient Chart, Treatment Planner, Document Center, Perio Chart, and Questionnaires.

This feature can be especially helpful to recognize and identify patients, especially if you have patients with the same or similar names. You can pull up the patient picture and double-check that the Dan Johnson sitting in the chair is the same Dan Johnson whose treatment plan is calling for an extraction today!

To open the Patient Picture window:

  1. Select a patient.
  2. Click the Patient Picture button.
    • In the Family File, Appointment Book, and Treatment Manager, the Patient Picture button looks like this:

  3. Click the Patient Picture button to view your patient’s photo.
