Is Sensei Cloud Built for Your Workflow, or Are You Adapting to Theirs?
Sensei Cloud is a broad platform designed to serve general dentists, orthodontists, and specialists all at once. While it offers oral surgery modules, many practices find the workflows feel like they were repurposed from general dentistry templates, creating friction in a high-volume surgical office.
If you’re tired of building workarounds for complex medical billing, struggling with rigid reporting, or feeling like your specialty is an afterthought, it’s time for a change. DSN isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” solution. It’s a purpose-built surgical suite designed to match how oral surgeons actually work.
| Feature | Sensei Cloud (General Dental) | DSN Cloud (Specialty Dental) | Why DSN Wins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Design Focus | Broad-Spectrum (GP, Ortho, Pedo) | Specialty-focused (OMS, Perio, Endo) | Workflow is built for sedation and surgery, not hygiene checks. |
| Anesthesia Records | Requires workarounds/add-ons | Native Anesthesia Monitor Integration | Vitals (SpO2, EKG) flow directly into the chart automatically. |
| Medical Billing | Basic / Dental-Primary | Automated Cross-Coding | DSN automatically bridges CPT (Medical) and CDT (Dental) codes. |
| Referral Management | Basic tracking | Full Referral Funnel Analytics | Tracks referral revenue and trends to optimize practice growth. |
| Imaging Workfow | Cloud Imaging (General) | Embedded 3D/CBCT Viewer | View and manipulate 3D volumes without leaving the patient chart. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Sensei Cloud is primarily designed for general dentistry and orthodontics. While it can be adapted for oral surgery, it lacks native support for complex surgical workflows, anesthesia monitoring, and medical cross-coding, which are standard in DSN Cloud.
Yes. DSN Cloud features a native, browser-based imaging suite that handles 2D and 3D (CBCT) images directly in the patient chart. You do not need separate bridging software or a disjointed imaging module.
DSN Cloud includes a built-in, digital anesthesia record that automatically captures vitals from your monitor (EKG, SpO2, NIBP). Sensei Cloud typically requires manual data entry or third-party add-ons to achieve this level of surgical documentation.
Migration is seamless. DSN has a dedicated data team specialized in extracting patient demographics, clinical notes, and images from Sensei Cloud databases, ensuring you lose no historical data during the switch.
The difference is workflow depth. DSN is “Surgical-Native,” meaning every feature—from the referral portal to the implant registry—is built for surgeons. Sensei is “General-Native,” meaning surgical features are often workarounds or afterthoughts.

We have been using DSN for about two years now. We love it. They’re always so kind when we need help/support. They also spend a lot of time adding new features in as well.
DSN Imaging has changed how we work day to day. We can capture, view, and manage scans all in one place, whether we’re in the office or working remotely. It’s faster, more efficient, and keeps everything connected. And because it’s built right into DSN Cloud, we don’t have to jump between systems. to access our scans
I have been in practice over 20 years, and tested almost all OMS EMRs. Without doubt DSN is the best software out there. Excellent functionality, useful reports and over all ease of use. Highly recommend it.
I have used DSN for 7 years now and am very happy with not only their software, but also their customer support.
I’ve been using DSN for 10 years, and honestly, my interaction with them has been minimal—but that’s a good thing. The software just works. It does what it’s supposed to do, so I don’t have to think about it.
DSN just saves us so much time. Whether it’s quickly pulling schedules or reports, every workflow has been extremely smooth. DSN’s support has been wonderful and it’s been such a smooth transition. I would recommend DSN 150%
I’ve been a DSN user since they launched their cloud platform, and it’s clear they genuinely care about their clients. Having everything centralized in one place has streamlined our workflows and communication across teams. Their team is always responsive, supportive, and their dedication to continuous improvement really stands out
DSN has been great! I have worked with 4 different programs and this would be my favorite thus far. While there is no such thing as a perfect software my personal opinion is that DSN comes pretty close!
I like looking at the numbers—referrals, new patients, production per day. It’s a lot easier to get that kind of information from DSN than from other EMRs I’ve used.
I am an Oral Surgeon and have been using DSN for over 4 years. I have been very pleased with their product service and personal relationship. I have always recommended this software to any OMS interested in improving their software management experience.
We have had the DSN Practice Management Software for over 8 years and could not be happier with it. The customer service is excellent and you feel more like a family member than just a client.
It was a little more expensive upfront, but you get what you pay for. In hindsight, we should have gone with DSN from the beginning. Since switching to DSN, everything’s faster. I have more time on my hands
DSN Cloud has been instrumental in streamlining our operations across our growing network of oral surgery practices. Their intuitive platform enhances patient flow, simplifies scheduling coordination, and provides the data-driven insights we need to maintain clinical excellence while scaling our organization. The team truly understands the unique needs of oral surgery practices.
I’ve had great experiences with DSN—fast support, easy updates, and a smooth migration. I always recommend it to anyone who asks.
