### Most mentioned pros

- It’s amazing how they can get away with this kind of service and product in the USA .
- Business problems to solve and numerous benefits to realize :- Minimal radiation exposure, this can help to solve the problem of inaccurate or inadequate imaging, leading to improved diagnosis and treatment planning.
- It was really easy to navigate and made sense.

### Most mentioned cons

- Regarding their 1 year warranty, they begin the warranty period when they shipped the units out before we had a working unit, so when our units died again within one year from when we had working units they wouldn’t cover anything.
- Training consisted of hearing Carestream talk but as we were unable to visually see any machine or pictures of machines during the training when it was complete we didn’t even know how to turn the machine on; it was totally worthless.
- They should be able to tell their customers what the space and electrical requirements of their units are – they couldn’t – or – they did and it was wrong.

### Softdent is very easy to use and navigate.

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Krista I. C.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Medical Practice
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: November 2020
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Good- I have been using it more often in various offices and it is very easy to use.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Softdent is a newer software to me but it has been quite easy to learn and use. I like how the schedule is easy to read, the columns can be color coordinated (dentist vs hygienist), I like that you can add a tiny little sticky note to the patient's appt incase you want to write an important note (for example: allergic to amoxicillin etc), and it is quite easy to dental chart and treatment plan a patient's decay/crowns/xrays/etc.

#### Cons

The format looks a little outdated, for example, it looks somewhat grainy or pixilated. Therefore, the graphics could be updated to a more modern look.

### CS SoftDent Dental Software

- Overall rating: 4/5

- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Medical Practice
- Company size: 11-50 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: February 2021
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Overall my experience with CS SoftDent has been unsatisfactory. Between the time it takes to get someone from customer support to assist you to the charging for features that are free from other dental software companies, we have decided to change our software to a cloud based one.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 3/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 2/5

#### Pros

I appreciate how easy SoftDent is to use. Yes there is a learning curve when you first being utilizing it but overall it is simple.

#### Cons

The lack of included features makes CS SoftDent inferior to other dental software that I have experience with. In order to do simple customizations such as changing/customizing the medical history form, you have to pay additional fees and even then there are significant limitations. Recently our state required all medical prescribing offices to use electronic prescribing methods, in turn CS SoftDent decided to charge an exorbitant amount of money on top of our monthly fee for a service that is now required.

#### Reasons for choosing Carestream Dental

We were not involved at the the time of purchase, but I'm sure at the time CS SoftDent was the best software out there.

#### Pros

The ease of use and the fact that their technical support team is hands down, one of the best, if not the best help I've had. Very patient with me or any other team member that has to call them. Very knowledgeable and work until they get the job done correctly. Kudos to all of them.

#### Cons

Can't think of anything. I don't know what the cost is, so I can't factor that into this review.

### Easy to use

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Kevin C.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Education Management
- Company size: 501-1000 employees
- Product usage: Used weekly for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: November 2020

Very good- I learn something new with the software weekly.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Functionality: 4/5

#### Pros

My side job is a dental assistant and we use soft dent. Softdent is very easy to use and it is quite straightforward. I find it easy to navigate, schedule appointments, dental chart, take X-rays, and send referrals to other offices.

#### Cons

Sometimes I feel as though it can be difficult to treatment plan a patient's dental work. For example, it can be confusing when the pending treatment gets mixed with past procedures that were already done. I wish there was an easy way to "clean up" old treatment plans and add "watches" to the charts.

### The worst software and company

- Overall rating: 1/5
- Reviewer: Spencer J.
- Verified reviewer: Yes

- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months

I wholeheartedly agree with with every negative comment made about this company. I was getting by just fine using a practice management software that was a fraction of the cost of Orthotrac but I allowed myself to foolishly be sold on Orthotrac thinking because it was made by a large corporation that the product and customer service would be better, I was wrong on both accounts .Orthotrac cloud is nothing like what is advertised. You cannot simply just log on from any device anywhere as promised you actually have download program on every device you wish to long on with and even then you can only log on a certain number of dedicated devices and if you try to use a new device you risk functionality loss. Their goal in not living up to their claim of any device anywhere is to upsell its customers on buying additional usernames which depending on who you talk with varies from $45 to $90 for each username on top of the monthly exorbitant monthly fee and other additional addons for eservices. Lastly,The customer service is the worst I have ever dealt with in any industry. NO ONE RETURNS YOUR CALLS so if you have any issue you are S.O.L.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 1/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 1/5

#### Pros

There is really nothing I like about the software. It isn't that easy to use and the support is terrible

#### Cons

The imaging and practice management software aren't that functional and is integrated poorly.

#### Reasons for choosing Carestream Dental

I sold on the idea of a one stop solution for my equipment and software. I now realize that company that attempts to do everything does so poorly.

#### Reasons for switching to Carestream Dental

I thought Carestream would be better but I was wrong.

### Carestream Review

- Overall rating: 1/5

This information of how Carestream stands behind their warranties and how they provide service to their customers isn’t necessarily going to be your experience; these are just the experiences I have had dealing with Carestream. Also, some of the x-ray units they sell must be better than the units I’ve purchased or the company wouldn’t still be in business. However the company’s attitude and service illustrated in my experiences should be a warning to potential new customers. I purchased about 1 year ago one 8100 CBCT machine and two 2400 handheld x-ray units. When we were doing installation for the 8100 unit, they gave us incomplete information regarding the space needed for the units, and inaccurate information regarding their wiring needs. They should be able to tell their customers what the space and electrical requirements of their units are – they couldn’t – or – they did and it was wrong. Their training is all online, with no in person training. Training consisted of hearing Carestream talk but as we were unable to visually see any machine or pictures of machines during the training when it was complete we didn’t even know how to turn the machine on; it was totally worthless. Some of these units don’t need much training but do need some and that is not there. Regarding the quality of their product, the two 2400 machines died four times during the first year, could not be repaired and needed to be replaced. Durability and quality are nonexistent. Regarding their 1 year warranty, they begin the warranty period when they shipped the units out before we had a working unit, so when our units died again within one year from when we had working units they wouldn’t cover anything. Their one year warranty was less than one year, and when their units died within that time period they said they wouldn’t replace, couldn’t repair, and knew of no one who could repair the units. Assume their warranty is nonexistent on a practical basis. One last item, when we phone Carestream for help or with any questions we are generally unable to reach any person so can just leave a message. They do return the call but take two weeks to return the call whether we call their main office or our “local” representative. Phone support is poor. While you may be evaluating dental or medical x-ray units other than the specific ones I purchased, the attitudes and service of the Carestream company are still there whatever particular unit you are considering.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 1/5
- Customer support: 1/5
- Functionality: 1/5

#### Pros

Initially customer service reputation - why I purchased from Carestream. Then they fired their customer reps right after I purchased products and went all online. Also price was reasonable.

#### Cons

Poor quality 2 machines died 4 times in 1st year. Inaccurate info given for space & electrical needs complicating installation. Take 2 weeks to answer phone calls. Warranty started when shipped but before we had a working unit so when unit died within 1 year of having unit that worked warranty not honored.

#### Pros

There have been a few good support people.

#### Cons

Support, I think many work from home, need to request Level 2 tech, I don't have time for level one trying to figure things out. Software is extremely slow so as our practice grew it had become extremely frustrating, we then added the Faircom server to speed up process which it did HOWEVER Faircom is a glass slipper and CRASHES if it isn't perfect conditions. We need to replace our 2012 server but we have to replace with another 2012 because Softdent isn't compatible with the most recent server! We also use E-forms on the iPads we just did an update on iPads to 11 and now eforms no longer work because it isn't compatible, I am told they are working on it... seems to me the developers would be forward thinking on development and not a step behind. Time to move out of the dinosaur age. After struggling with this for 14 years we are looking for a change.

#### Pros

The definition of radiograghs is surperb. That is all I like about it. I think for definition it is better than dentrix. I have been a hygienist for 16+ years and I think for the quality of films it is definitely the best I have seen. It is nice that you can use the radiographic system apart from their software system as far as maintaining records. We use strictly the program only for images. We use digital software. We capture Intra oral films, radiography with a sensor, panos, as well as 3D images. It is great for all of this. All of the images are very well defined.

#### Cons

Kicks you out of program, customer service terrible and takes lots of time. Whenever you have a problem you have to call them and wait on the line as they try and figure out what the problem is.

#### Pros

We are a very busy Orthodontic Office with ~ 40 computers running Orthotrac. The program is solid, we rarely need to contact support for any issues. When we do need support they are very willing to remotely connect to our system and solve any problems while we continue to treat patients. One of the most important things to me was finding a comprehensive software with a strong, efficient support department, which this company definitely has. The new charting module is amazing.

Also, trying to use this for chairside charting is not an option, the graphics on the odontogram look like an old Atari system.
