How much does dental practice software cost?
The cost of dental practice software depends on four factors: how many users the practice has, how many patients you keep on file, which modules you use, and who handles hosting and backups. With a SaaS platform the subscription is per practice, not per dentist: at 4dental it starts from 5 RON a month. A locally installed solution costs more upfront and requires your own maintenance.
Short answer
- At 4dental the subscription starts from 5 RON a month per practice (the Start plan), with hosting and backups included.
- The price grows with the number of users and patients on file, not with the number of chairs: Start 5 RON, Plus 25 RON, Pro 50 RON, Premium 100 RON per month.
- A small practice (1–2 dentists, up to 1,500 patients) typically fits the Plus plan, at 25 RON a month.
- A locally installed solution requires a pricier license plus self-managed maintenance and backups.
- Realistic total for a practice at the start: between 5 RON and 25 RON a month, with no implementation cost and a 14-day trial, no card required.
What you pay for (components)
The cost components of dental practice software
| Component | SaaS (e.g. 4dental) | Installed locally |
|---|---|---|
| Platform / hosting | Subscription from 5 RON a month per practice, hosting included | Pricier license, plus your own server and hosting |
| Dental modules | Odontogram, treatment plan, recall and billing included in the plan | Modules billed separately or built on request |
| Maintenance and backups | Included (updates, security, automatic backups) | On you or an IT administrator |
Practical example
Example: a dental practice with 2 dentists, 3 chairs and about 1,200 patients on file fits the Plus plan and pays 25 RON a month — with per-chair scheduling, a digital odontogram and billing with insurance included, for 10 users. A clinic with 5 dentists and 6,000 patients moves to Pro, at 50 RON a month. There is no implementation cost, because setup is done from the interface in a few hours.
Common mistakes
- Comparing only the base subscription and ignoring whether the odontogram and automatic recall are included.
- Choosing a locally installed solution and forgetting the cost of the server, backups and updates.
- Paying for an expensive implementation for a small practice you could set up yourself from the interface.
