This browser-based tool brings the company's front-desk companion for membership status, savings, and enrollment to any [web-based practice management system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clinikdna), including Denticon, Dentrix Ascend, and others. The Clerri Bridge Chrome Extension operates within Chrome's side panel, sitting alongside the PMS interface. This placement ensures it does not obscure content and maintains its state as staff navigate between tabs, with the added benefit of automatically syncing to the current schedule date for Denticon users. Installation requires no IT support, as any staff member can add it from the Chrome Web Store in under two minutes without software downloads or administrative access. For DSOs and multi-location groups, the extension can be deployed silently to all managed browsers through Chrome enterprise policy.
