What is an image conversion to Dentally Vision?
Image conversion to Dentally Vision means transferring your existing patient images—including supported edits—into the Dentally system. We aim for a high-quality transfer, but the accuracy depends on the quality of your original imaging data. Any unverified records will be listed in a report, so you can review and manage them easily.
Am I eligible for an image conversion?
You can use this service if:
Your practice is already using Dentally Vision.
Your previous digital imaging (DI) software was connected to Dentally or another practice management system (PMS).
🚨 Important: Any images added to your old system after the conversion starts will not be transferred. Make sure your team stops using the old software once we begin extracting your data.
