Henry Schein One is the global leader in dental management, analytics, communication and marketing software. We deliver innovative dental software and services, combined with expert business coaching, to help connect dental technology so it works as one. When technology connects, more data is shared, more tasks are automated, and more work gets done. Most importantly, dental professionals have more time to focus on providing a quality experience for their patients.

In fact, one connected practice management system simplifies each step of the patient experience - from first contact and scheduling to clinical treatment and billing, to ensuring loyalty and recurring care.
