Dental Practice Management Tools, All in One Platform

From the moment a patient books to the moment a claim is paid, Dental Shield handles verification, staffing, recruiting, and billing with AI-powered automation.

AI-Powered Insurance Verification

AI-Powered Insurance Verification Agent

Real-time dual-insurance eligibility checks through DentalXchange (dental) and Availity (medical). Full benefits breakdown: deductibles, maximums, co-insurance, co-pays, waiting periods, frequency limitations, and pre-authorization requirements.

Dental Shield Chrome Extension for Dentrix Ascend

Manifest V3 extension with a side panel that auto-extracts patient data from your PMS, runs live eligibility checks, and displays an AI-generated benefits summary — without leaving your existing workflow.

Automated Insurance Verification Alerts

Customizable alert rules notify your team when verification results contain surprises: coverage terminations, missing authorizations, exceeded frequency limits, or active coordination of benefits situations.

Temp Staffing

AI-Powered Shift Matching

Post an open shift and our AI assigns match scores to every available professional based on credentials, location, schedule fit, and past ratings. Smart pricing recommendations ensure you attract qualified candidates at competitive rates.

1099 Professional Onboarding

Verified credential uploads, W-9 collection, identity verification, and electronic agreements — all completed before a professional can accept their first shift. Background check authorization included.

Smart Shift Management & Timekeeping

Clock-in/clock-out via mobile, GPS check-in verification, digital sign-off by the practice, automated payment capture on completion, and detailed shift receipts — all in one place.

Permanent Dental Staff Recruiting

New

Dental Job Board & AI Job Descriptions

Fill a 2-minute form (role, schedule, pay range, culture highlights) and GPT drafts the full job description. Publish with a flat posting fee. Every listing gets Schema.org JobPosting markup for automatic Google Jobs indexing.

Candidate Pipeline (Kanban)

Applicants move through a visual pipeline: Applied → Shortlisted → Interviewing → Offer → Hired. Practice admins update status, view cover letters, and contact candidates — all without leaving the platform.

Managed Dental Recruiting & Temp-to-Perm

Opt into Dental Shield's concierge recruiting: pay a search deposit and our team sources and vets candidates for you. Or convert a great temp worker to a permanent hire with zero posting fee — just a flat success fee at hire.

Revenue Cycle Management (RCM)

Managed Service

End-to-End Claims Management

Our billing team reviews treatment records, codes procedures to CDT standards, and submits clean claims electronically — all working directly inside your Dentrix Ascend environment via secure shared access.

Denial Management & A/R Follow-Up

Denied claims are analyzed for root cause, re-submitted or appealed with supporting documentation, and tracked through resolution. Outstanding balances aged over 30 days receive proactive payer outreach on a defined follow-up schedule.

Simplify Payments, Statements & Reporting

ERA/EOB remittances are reconciled and posted to patient ledgers daily. Patient statements are generated after adjudication. A monthly report covers collections, denial rate, and A/R aging — full visibility, zero manual effort.

Analytics & Growth

Revenue Intelligence Dashboard

Executive-level financial analytics: production vs. collection trends, payer performance breakdowns, provider contribution, and period-over-period comparisons. Pro tier includes a DSO-wide aggregate view.

AI SEO Agent & Patient Acquisition

The AI SEO Agent generates keyword-targeted content, monitors search rankings, and surfaces patient acquisition opportunities. Combine with the embeddable booking widget and lead marketplace to grow new patient volume.
