Managing multiple dental clinics is not just about patient care—it’s about data clarity, performance tracking, and fast decision-making.
If your data is scattered across Dentrix, spreadsheets, and manual reports, you’re not alone. Most dental chains struggle to get real-time insights in one place.
At Hike Branding, we’ve solved this problem by building a powerful Dentrix to Power BI integration (also applicable for OpenDental), helping clinic owners and managers track everything from production to collections—on a single dashboard.
The Problem Dental Chains Face
-
Data spread across Dentrix + Google Sheets + manual tracking
-
No unified view of production, collections, or patient activity
-
Difficult to track doctor-wise performance
-
Delayed decisions due to lack of real-time insights
-
Manual reporting = time-consuming + error-prone
Our Solution: Dentrix / OpenDental to Power BI Integration
We built a centralized reporting system where:
-
Data flows from Dentrix (Desktop G6.2+ or Ascend) into a cloud database
-
Power BI dashboards visualize insights in real-time or daily sync
-
Multi-location clinics can track performance across all branches
1. Production & Adjustments Dashboard
What You See:
-
Gross Production (YTD & Monthly)
-
Target vs Actual performance
-
Provider-wise contribution
-
Adjustments tracking (refunds, write-offs, insurance changes)
Why It Matters:
-
Instantly know if your clinic is meeting revenue targets
-
Identify which doctor drives the most production
-
Keep adjustments under control (goal: <15%)
👉 This helps owners answer:
“Are we producing enough, and where are we losing revenue?”
2. Collections & Accounts Receivable Dashboard
What You See:
-
Total AR (Accounts Receivable)
-
Ortho vs Non-Ortho breakdown
-
Net Production vs Net Collection %
-
Provider-wise collection performance
Key Insight:
-
Ideal collection rate = 98%+
-
Instantly identify cash flow issues
Why It Matters:
-
Track how much money is actually collected vs produced
-
Reduce outstanding AR
-
Improve financial health across clinics
👉 This answers:
“We are producing revenue… but are we actually collecting it?”
3. Patient Production & Activity Dashboard
What You See:
-
Net Production per Patient
-
Active patient count (last 18 months)
-
Provider-wise patient efficiency
-
Monthly patient trends
Why It Matters:
-
Measure clinic efficiency per visit
-
Track growth in patient base
-
Identify underperforming providers
👉 This answers:
“Are we maximizing value from each patient visit?”
