If your practice already runs on Dolphin, connecting it to DentalMonitoring takes the busywork out of remote aligner monitoring. Patient records flow between the two systems automatically, so there is no more double entry, no more re-searching for the same patient, and no more toggling between screens to check where someone is in treatment. Data moves machine-to-machine, which also removes the transcription errors that creep in when names or dates are re-typed by hand.

The pay-off for an orthodontic practice is tangible: monitored patients stay visible in a single workflow, and consult prep is a click away — the DentalMonitoring patient card opens straight from Dolphin's Treatment Card, so you see exactly where each aligner patient stands before they sit down.

Overview

The Dolphin integration connects Dolphin Management with DentalMonitoring so that patient data and monitoring status flow between the two platforms without double entry.

  • Patient creation: create new patients in DentalMonitoring directly from Dolphin.
  • Patient pairing: link existing Dolphin patients to their DentalMonitoring profile.
  • Patient updates: keep patient data in sync between the two systems.
  • Monitoring controls: start, pause, resume and stop monitoring from within Dolphin.
  • One-click patient access: open a patient's DentalMonitoring card straight from Dolphin's Treatment Card, with their current monitoring status visible on hover.
