What eTIMS Billing Software does for a dental practice
eTIMS billing files a compliant tax invoice with KRA on every sale, with no manual entry. For a dental practice, the value shows up exactly where the work is hardest.
A dental practice stocks high value materials like crowns and implants that are slow moving but critical, plus consumables like gloves and anesthetic. Dental margins are strong on procedural work and materials, but overhead in rent and equipment is high.
Patients paying out-of-pocket and insurance companies both expect detailed compliant invoices per procedure. Veira handles that as part of the same sale, so compliance is not a separate evening job.
Dental Practices run differently, and the software should too
A generic till misses the details that decide whether a dental practice makes money. These are the ones that matter:

- 2
Where the margin leaks
Dental materials with long shelf lives. eTIMS Billing Software built for a dental practice turns that into a number you can act on, and you also queue invoices offline and submit when reconnected.

What slows the counter

- 4
What buyers expect
Treatment plans with multiple visits. eTIMS Billing Software built for a dental practice turns that into a number you can act on, and you also give registered buyers the invoice they need to claim input VAT.
