Pros & Cons
Pros
- 100% Australian-owned, developed, and operated with all data hosted on AU servers — no third-party cloud providers or overseas data transfer
- Pricing unchanged since 2007 — 18 years without a single price increase, while competitors raise prices regularly
- Unlimited users and computers per location — no per-seat licensing means growing practices don't face escalating costs
- Full HICAPS integration for health fund claiming, Medicare Easyclaim including CDBS, and instant rebate estimates before treatment
- Comprehensive clinical charting with periodontal and restorative views, treatment planning, and automated charting-to-treatment sync
- Sterilization tracking with QR-coded instrument packs and autoclave cycle records for compliance audits
- 24/7 AU-based phone and email support included in all plans — no overseas call centres
- Integrates with major AU booking platforms (HealthEngine, HotDoc, MyHealth1st) and accounting (Xero)
Cons
- Smaller integration ecosystem (8 integrations) compared to some newer dental platforms with broader app marketplaces
- 12-month initial subscription commitment required — no month-to-month option from day one
- Pricing is GST-exclusive, so actual cost for a single location is $286/month inc. GST
- 10GB included storage may be limiting for practices with high-volume digital imaging — extra storage costs $1/month per GB
- SMS messages charged separately at 17-25 cents each, which adds up for practices with heavy recall and reminder volumes
- User interface may feel less modern compared to newer cloud-native competitors entering the Australian dental market
- No integrated telehealth or video consultation feature — practices needing this must use separate tools
