DEXIS Imaging Suite

DEXIS Imaging Suite is the Windows imaging software that dental practices use with DEXIS sensors to capture, file and review 2D X-rays and clinical photos, and it can also handle images from many third-party sensors. It is commercial software sold through DEXIS and its dealers. There is no free edition of the full suite, but DEXIS has offered a free viewer called DEXview for opening .dex images, and a free trial of its AI add-on, DEXassist.

If you searched for a “DEXIS Imaging Suite download” or a “DEXIS 10 download”, the installer is distributed to licensed practices through the DEXIS download centre, with manuals on the DEXIS e-labelling portal. This page covers what the current DEXIS 10 generation does, how practices use it every day, and what to check before installing.

DEXIS Imaging Suite at a glance

What it does

• Manages intraoral and extraoral radiographs and intraoral and extraoral photographs in one patient record.
• DEXray capture module: DEXIS states that most common procedures take two clicks or fewer, and its one-click full-mouth series is designed to cut an FMX from about 25 minutes to about 5.
• When the sensor detects radiation, the image is saved, dated, tooth-numbered, oriented and mounted automatically, without returning to the keyboard.
• ClearVu image processing to optimise the signal path from acquisition to display.
• DEXcapture for intraoral and extraoral camera images and video; DEXview 3D for managing 3D data from i-CAT FLX V-series and DEXIS ORTHOPANTOMOGRAPH OP 3D units.
• DEXintegrator links to major practice management programs; DEXtwain opens the suite to other intraoral sensors; DEXsync keeps databases in step across multiple offices.
• DEXwrite, a chairside report writer for referral letters and patient documents.
• DEXassist (optional): AI that marks up to six findings on 2D intraoral X-rays: caries, calculus, bone loss, periapical radiolucency, root canal filling deficiency and discrepancy at the margin of an existing restoration. It runs through an integration with DTX Studio Clinic.

How dental teams use it

Capture a full-mouth series

1. Open the patient from the practice management system through DEXintegrator.
2. Pick the FMX template in DEXray.
3. Place the sensor and expose; each image is saved, numbered and mounted, and the next position is selected.
4. Check the mount for missing or overlapping images before the patient leaves the chair.

Review a radiograph with AI support

1. With DEXassist enabled, open a bitewing or periapical image.
2. Run the analysis with one click; focus areas are highlighted on the image.
3. Confirm or reject each finding yourself and use the marked image to explain treatment to the patient.

Send images to a colleague

1. Select the images and export them, or attach them to a DEXwrite referral letter.
2. If the colleague does not use DEXIS, send the images in a common image format, or ask whether they can open .dex files with DEXview.

Install and first run

• Get the installer and your licence through DEXIS or your dealer. User manuals and installation guides are on elabeling.dexis.com, and software packages and service bulletins are in the DEXIS download centre.
• Read the system requirements document for your exact version before buying PCs; DEXIS publishes separate requirement documents for its releases.
• Match versions: sensor drivers, the suite and add-ons such as DEXassist each require a minimum DEXIS version, so update the suite before adding new hardware.
• In multi-office practices plan where the database lives and whether DEXsync is needed.
• Back up the image database before any upgrade, especially when moving from DEXIS 9 to DEXIS 10.

Limitations

• Commercial licence; no free edition of the full suite.
• Windows only. There is no native macOS version.
• Focused on 2D. For full CBCT diagnosis and planning DEXIS points to DTX Studio Clinic, which combines 2D, 3D and photos.
• DEXassist is an add-on with its own trial and licence, and it needs an up-to-date DEXIS 10 installation.
• DEXview dates from the DEXIS 9 era and is no longer promoted on DEXIS product pages, so check with DEXIS support whether it is still available for your Windows version.

DEXIS Imaging Suite vs alternatives

DEXIS Imaging Suite is the natural upgrade for practices still on VixWin Platinum, which DEXIS now also owns. Practices with Dentsply Sirona units usually run Sidexis 4, and Carestream users run CS Imaging, which puts 2D, 3D and CAD/CAM data in one program. If you want a cloud-based, device-agnostic system rather than a local database, compare it with Planet DDS’s Apteryx, described on our Apteryx XrayVision page.

FAQ

How do I download DEXIS Imaging Suite 10?

DEXIS distributes the software to licensed practices through its download centre and dealers; manuals are on elabeling.dexis.com. You need a licence to use it.

Is there a free DEXIS viewer?

DEXIS has offered DEXview, a free program that lets offices without DEXIS view, enhance and save .dex images received from DEXIS users. 3D data is handled by the DEXview 3D module inside the suite or by DTX Studio Clinic, which are licensed products.

What are the DEXIS Imaging Suite system requirements?

DEXIS runs on Windows and publishes a system requirements document for each release. Check the current one for your version, and note that 3D work and multi-office setups need stronger hardware and networking.

Can I still download DEXIS 9?

DEXIS 10 is the current generation. Older versions are not promoted any more, so ask DEXIS support before installing DEXIS 9 on a new PC; new sensors and add-ons such as DEXassist need a recent DEXIS 10 release.

How much does DEXIS Imaging Suite cost?

DEXIS sells the software through dealers and quotes it per practice, often together with sensors. Contact DEXIS or your dealer for an offer.

Does DEXIS work on a Mac?

DEXIS Imaging Suite is a Windows program; DEXIS does not offer a native macOS version.

What is the difference between DEXIS Imaging Suite and DTX Studio Clinic?

DEXIS Imaging Suite is centred on fast 2D capture and photos. DTX Studio Clinic combines 2D, 3D and photography in one AI-powered workspace, and it also supplies the AI behind DEXassist.
