Denticon Help Portal

Planet DDS has built a robust Help Portal that reflects over a decade of customer feedback and our long tenure as the first dental practice management software offering in the cloud. Our portal contains:

  • Nearly 1,000 reference items with explanations of how to handle common tasks and answers to frequently asked questions, clearly organized by topic
  • Detailed videos that explain, screen-by-screen, how to navigate the software
  • A glossary of dental industry terms
  • A troubleshooting tool to steer you in the right direction in our knowledge base

To access the Denticon Help Portal, simply log into Denticon and click on Help/Help Portal. The portal will appear on a new screen.
