Built for India: amounts in ₹, GST on invoices, WhatsApp for patients.
What is Dentra Dental Suite?
Dentra is cloud dental practice management software for single clinics and multi-clinic dental groups in India. It brings booking, patient records, treatment planning, billing, lab orders, inventory, payroll and patient messaging into one system.
Who it is for: owners and dental groups who want one view across every clinic, doctors who want fast charting, and front-desk teams who run the calendar and billing. Dentra is built and offered by Chainzent.

Questions
Dental practice management, answered.
What is Dentra Dental Suite?
Dentra is a cloud dental practice management suite for single clinics and multi-clinic dental groups. It puts booking, patient records, treatment planning, billing, lab work, stock, payroll and patient messaging on one system, built for India with ₹ amounts, GST invoices and WhatsApp.
Can Dentra manage multiple clinics?
Yes. One organisation can hold many clinics, each with its own profile, settings and time zone. Owners get a group dashboard plus a dashboard for each clinic, and users with several branches can switch clinics from a clinic switcher.
Can patients book appointments online?
Yes. Patients can book online against the doctor's open slots. The booking lands on the same live calendar the front desk uses, and the system blocks double-booking for a doctor, so staff do not need to re-enter it.
How does the AI voice receptionist work?
About 24 hours before an appointment, the AI phones the patient. The patient can confirm or cancel by voice. It can also recognise a returning patient, offer open slots and book. Voice-booked appointments are tagged on the calendar so staff can see them.
Does the AI make clinical decisions?
No. AI drafts prescriptions and X-ray reports, and each draft is labelled as AI-generated. Every suggestion needs an explicit confirm from a person and can be dismissed. The doctor makes the final decision.
Does Dentra support GST invoicing?
Yes. Invoices show a GST preview and amounts are in ₹. Billing supports partial payments, a patient ledger, status filters including Overdue, and credit notes and void for owners. Invoice items are currently entered by hand.
How are roles and permissions handled?
Dentra has three roles: Owner, Doctor and Staff. Owners invite members by email, then set permissions, designation and a discount limit for each staff member. Doctors have their own profile with weekly availability and clinic assignments.
Can patients be reminded on WhatsApp?
Dentra has a shared WhatsApp inbox with message templates and replies from the app. WhatsApp sending needs a provider connection set up for each clinic. Patient consent for WhatsApp is captured when the patient is registered. SMS is not available yet.
Is patient data secure?
Each organisation's data is isolated from every other. Dentra keeps audit logs, uses soft deletes so nothing is lost by accident, and signs users in securely with refresh and email password reset. Documents download through secure links.
Good to know: WhatsApp sending needs a provider connection per clinic. SMS messaging and a treatment price list are not available yet, and invoice items are entered by hand.
