Henry Schein One announced a new direct data integration that connects Align Technology’s iTero intra‑oral scanners with its core practice‑management platforms—Dentrix, Dentrix Ascend, and Dentally. The integration allows patient data captured by the scanner to flow automatically into the practice‑management system, eliminating manual uploads and reducing the risk of data entry errors.
The partnership builds on a previous 2018 integration that was limited to North America. By extending the connectivity to Dentrix Ascend and Dentally, the new integration offers a global, end‑to‑end digital workflow that benefits orthodontic and restorative practices. Align’s iTero scanners are a leading product in the intraoral‑scanner market, while Henry Schein’s Dentrix platforms are the most widely adopted practice‑management software in the industry.
"Today's dental teams need technology that supports clinical confidence as much as operational efficiency. As a result of these technology investments, clinicians have immediate access to diagnostic insights inside their Dentrix, Ascend, and Dentally workflow—providing an opportunity to strengthen decision‑making at scale," said Dr. Ryan Hungate, Chief Clinical and Strategy Officer at Henry Schein One. "Digital solutions are transforming how care is delivered within dental practices. This integration enables clinicians to move from insight to action faster and deliver an enhanced patient experience," added Sreelakshmi Kolli, Executive Vice President and Chief Product and Digital Officer at Align Technology.
The integration is expected to increase iTero scanner adoption and usage, reinforcing Align’s position as a digital‑dentistry leader. Align’s Q4 2025 results—record revenue of $1.05 billion and adjusted EPS of $3.29—demonstrate strong demand for its products, while Henry Schein’s Q3 2025 results, with a non‑GAAP diluted EPS of $1.38, show healthy performance in its practice‑management segment. Together, the partnership positions both companies to capture the growing market for integrated digital workflows.
The dental practice‑management software market is projected to grow significantly as practices seek more efficient, data‑driven operations. By linking scanning technology directly to practice‑management systems, the Henry Schein One–Align collaboration aligns with this industry trend and may drive higher retention and new customer acquisition for Dentrix platforms while expanding the reach of iTero scanners worldwide.
