Insights on dental practice management, product updates, and tips to help your practice thrive.
Patient Experience Your Patients Paid for a Check-Up. Show Them What They Got.
Most patients leave a check-up with a recall date and very little else. Lumina's patient portal gives them their exam report, gum scores, X-rays, prescriptions and Lumina Grade in plain English. That is better care, and it is better for your practice.
Switching Moving from SOE? Make Sure the Move Is Worth It
More Software of Excellence practices are looking around, and some are being pointed towards Dentally. Any move still means a migration, so make sure the system you choose earns its place: less repeated work, patients who understand their care, and a sensible full monthly bill.
Opinion The Sudden Flood of Dental Software Should Worry People
There's a new dental app every week, and a lot of it is starting to feel like nonsense. Software a real dental practice depends on has to scale, stay secure and keep working under pressure, and that takes proper engineering, not an AI wrapper with a nice landing page.
Migration Why Switching Dental Software Shouldn't Be So Difficult and Scary
Changing dental software feels risky, so practices put it off. Here's how Lumina makes switching calmer: a free plan with no time limit, run alongside your current PMS, simple migration, and your data stays yours.
Practice Safety Why Faster Internal Alerts Matter During Medical Emergencies in Dental Practice
Medical emergencies in dental practice are not always dramatic. A dentist shares a real incident and explains why quiet, fast internal alerts can make a huge difference to how practices respond.
AI Don't Waste Money Bolting Extra Tools onto SoE, R4 and Dentally
AI is everywhere in dentistry, but most of it is just another add-on. Your PMS should do more, not force you to buy more. Here's how Lumina approaches AI differently.
Security Passwordless Login for Dental Practices: How Lumina Improves Security for Staff and Patients
Lumina now uses passwordless login by default for dental practices. One-time codes, passkeys, and SSO as standard. No other dental software, including SoE and Dentally, offers this.
