ABELDent’s 2023 Year In Review

With 2023 coming to a close, we want to take the chance to thank ABELDent users for the continued support and trust as your dental software provider. Throughout the year, we were dedicated to enhancing our mainstream ABELDent products with new features and enhancements designed to help you streamline the operation of your dental practice.

Thank you to the ABELDent users who submitted honest and important feedback to help us refine the ABELDent software and provide additional benefits to our customers. Our team is committed to delivering solutions that meet your dental practice’s evolving needs, and we are excited about what we will deliver to you in 2024.

In this blog post, we will discuss some of the features we added to ABELDent Cloud and Local+ in 2023. If you use an older version of ABELDent and you are interested in upgrading to ABELDent Cloud or ABELDent Local+, the list below describes just some of the features and benefits available to you once you upgrade. If you are not interested in ABELDent Cloud or Local+ at this time, we recommend that you update to the latest ABELDent LS version, 14.8.2. If you want more information on ABELDent updates and upgrades, please reach out to us here or call us at 1-800-267-ABEL (2235).

New Features in ABELDent

The Global Navigation Bar

ABELDent’s Global Navigation Bar (GNB) is a single toolbar that provides simple access to most of the commonly used screens from most areas of the software. This improves ease of use and discoverability for both new and experienced users. You can customize how the GNB looks in your ABELDent software via the User Interface Style option in settings.

New Patient Self Booking

Embed a button on your website that prospective new patients can use to register with your office and make a new appointment with your practice. You control which providers new patients can schedule appointments with as well as provider availability.

Automated Recall Booking and Patient Reminders

ABELDent users with ABELDent Patient Communication System (PCS) can now reach out to patients who are overdue for hygiene appointments. Automated Recall Booking sends out periodic email and text reminders to patients with overdue appointments and invites them to schedule appointments. ABELDent PCS is not the only patient communication system available to dentists, but it is the only one specifically designed for ABELDent Local+ and ABELDent Cloud.

Voice-Controlled Perio Charting

Your hygiene team can work independently in the operatory to record data during a periodontal exam, eliminating the need for a second person to help record data. Using voice recognition technology, your team members can now record periodontal data and control navigation using a headset with a microphone.

Electronic Claim Explanation of Benefits (EOB) Reconciliation

EOB Reconciliation helps ensure the accuracy of insurance and patient payments and makes collecting patient payments quicker and easier. When an electronic claim is sent, and an Explanation of Benefits is returned, ABELDent uses the coverage details to update the expected coverage and determine any patient payment remaining.

Online Payments

Online Payments make collecting outstanding balances from patients easier and more secure. You can also use ABELDent to remind patients who have outstanding balances to make their payments via email reminders.

Customizable Emailable Health History Form and Custom Emailable Forms

ABELDent allows you to create customizable online forms, including Health History forms, Dental History forms, Consent forms, and more. ABELDent’s secure online forms allow patients to complete and safely submit data into their ABELDent record. These forms are convenient for both your team and your patients for the following reasons:

View by Status in Patients’ Charts

Your practice can enable an option that displays charted information by status – planned, completed within your practice, or completed outside of your practice. This option helps your team visually differentiate treatment status faster than before.

Clinical Notes Improvements

ABELDent’s updates provide Clinical Notes improvements in the form of enhanced note protections. You can append to clinical notes with a complete audit trail and sign off on notes to lock and protect them permanently.


Our team will continue to refine and optimize the capabilities of ABELDent. We constantly look for opportunities to create a better experience for ABELDent users.
