Mark each tooth's status on a digital odontogram, build the treatment plan from it — procedures, order, estimated cost — and the patient accepts it directly from the record, before treatment starts.
In short: a good dental treatment plan isn't a list of procedures on paper, it's a visual map of the patient's mouth tied to an execution plan. In 4dental, the dentist marks each tooth's status on the digital odontogram (healthy, cavity, filled, missing, implant) and builds the treatment plan from those markings: which procedures, in what order, at what estimated cost per session. The patient sees the plan, with total and itemized cost, and accepts it directly from the record — an informed decision, not a verbal chat forgotten by the next visit.
A paper odontogram gets lost, is hard to read and hard to compare visit to visit. 4dental's digital odontogram represents every tooth individually, with a markable status (healthy, cavity, filled, root-canal treated, missing, implant, denture) and notes per tooth surface. The dentist updates the status at every visit, and the evolution stays visible historically — you can compare last year's odontogram with today's at a glance.
Odontogram markings don't stay isolated — they become the direct starting point of the treatment plan. You select the affected teeth, pick the recommended procedure for each (filling, root canal, extraction, implant), and the system builds the plan with a logical execution order and an estimated cost per procedure. You no longer retype from a separate document what you already marked on the odontogram.
The most common reason a patient abandons a treatment midway is a cost surprise. 4dental's treatment plan shows the per-session cost and the total cost, itemized by procedure, BEFORE treatment starts. The patient accepts the plan digitally — with the agreed date and version kept in the record — so both sides know exactly what was agreed, even if the plan spans months.
A treatment plan with 5 sessions has no value if it stays on paper. Every session in the plan can turn directly into a booking in the practice's calendar, keeping the link to the plan — at the end of the session, its status updates automatically (planned → in progress → completed), and the front desk and dentist see in real time how much of the plan has been completed.
A visual representation of all the patient's teeth, on which the dentist marks each one's status (healthy, cavity, filled, root-canal treated, missing, implant). It updates at every visit and keeps the history.
You select the affected teeth directly on the odontogram, pick the recommended procedure for each, and the system builds the plan with the execution order and estimated cost — without retyping what you've already marked.
Yes. The plan shows the per-session cost and the total cost, itemized by procedure, and the patient accepts the plan digitally before the first session.
Yes. Acceptance is recorded digitally with the exact date and version of the agreed plan — if the plan changes later, the old version stays in the history.
It can turn directly into a booking in the practice's calendar, keeping the link to the plan. The session's status updates automatically as it progresses.
Yes. The per-tooth status history stays visible, so you can see how each tooth evolved across visits, not just the current state.
We show you how to mark the odontogram, generate the plan with an estimated cost, and get the digital patient acceptance before the first session.
4dental gives you an interactive digital odontogram, linked directly to the treatment plan — stages, estimated costs and digital acceptance by the patient.
