Dentrix

Dentrix was the first dental practice management software for Microsoft Windows when it was launched in 1989 by Dentrix Dental Systems. Dentrix Dental Systems was founded by Larry M. Gibson in 1985 and is based in American Fork, Utah. Mr. Gibson's vision of Dentrix was to become a comprehensive, integrated system which would combine all the functions a dental practice would need, including the capability to integrate future technologies. The Dentrix dental practice management system was designed to automate as many of the functions within the dental office as possible, to enable dentists to focus on their specialty - practicing dentistry. In 1997, Henry Schein, Inc. purchased Dentrix Dental Systems, which became Henry Schein Practice Solutions or HSPS and has continued to develop and release new versions and products since.

History

Acquired by Henry Schein Inc. in 1997, HSPS retained control of its operations, but gained the financial security to continue its commitment to serving the needs of the dental community.
