About

DentiPath Ledger

Features
Read full description

DentiPath Ledger™ is a local-first ledger for dental associates and early-career dentists. See what you produce, what you may keep after split terms and lab fees, what landed in your bank account, and where professional expenses are going without a spreadsheet or account. Track the numbers that matter: • Daily production: log gross production, lab fees, and direct costs by category. • Associate split: choose your percentage and basis, including gross, after lab fees, or after lab fees and direct costs. • Collection rate: optionally adjust estimated earnings for what was collected, not only billed. • Deposits and reconciliation: compare expected associate pay with deposits received. • Lab fees and expenses: record lab invoices plus CE, instruments, dues, insurance, software, and other professional costs. • Dashboard: review gross, net, lab-fee percentage, estimated net before tax, top category, month-over-month change, average daily production, and year-to-date totals. • Optional estimated set-aside: calculate an on-device planning estimate for money to reserve. For personal planning only, not tax or accounting advice. Import financial totals when you choose: • Import CSV, Excel (.xlsx), text, or ZIP exports, or paste a table from a spreadsheet, email, or report. • Preview mapped rows before saving anything. • Undo imports from Import History. • Imports run on device and do not connect to your office system. • Do not import patient data. Ledger is designed to screen and exclude patient-looking columns, but you remain responsible for reviewing imports before saving. Private by design: • No account required • No ads, analytics, tracking, or third-party SDKs • Ledger entries stay on your device unless you choose to export, import, or share files • Optional system-authenticated App Lock; app-switcher privacy cover on iPhone and iPad • On-device label checks warn before patient-identifiable text is saved • One encrypted backup export is included free; restoring a backup is always free • App-icon quick actions can jump to Add, Dashboard, or Reports DentiPath Ledger Pro is optional. Annual is the primary plan, with a monthly option. Either subscription unlocks unlimited history, pay reconciliation, record and summary CSV files, monthly PDF reports, annual summaries and full-history views, unlimited encrypted backups, every summary card theme, and the top-screen glow. Important: DentiPath Ledger is a personal tracking tool that provides educational planning estimates only. The estimated set-aside is not tax preparation and cannot determine your actual tax liability. The app does not provide financial, legal, tax, accounting, employment, or clinical advice. Do not enter patient names, chart numbers, dates of birth, health-card numbers, contact information, clinical notes, or treatment details. Confirm contract and tax information with qualified professionals.
