In its favor
Why people choose Core Practice
The signal that keeps Core Practice on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
No lock-in contracts and no upfront server costs attract small practices tired of legacy on-premise dental software.
Cloud access from any device appeals to multi-location dental practices needing real-time appointment visibility.
The bundled feature set without hidden extras simplifies procurement for practices that want one invoice for everything.
Australian-based support is cited by local practices as a reason to avoid US-centric alternatives.
The flat per-feature pricing model is transparent for practices that know exactly which modules they need.
Excessive clicks and overcomplicated workflows frustrate staff and slow down appointment booking.
Patients are reported lost due to poor data integrity and unreliable patient record management.
The platform scores poorly on ease of use, value for money, and customer service compared to competitors.
Low review volume (6 verified reviews) suggests limited adoption and a lack of community resources.
Users report the software is useless at making appointments, directly undermining core dental practice operations.

Pricing tiers
Core Practice pricing overview
Core Practice charges $240 per feature per month on a no-lock-in contract basis. Unlike competitors that price per user, billing is per enabled module, which means practices with multiple practitioners may face predictable per-feature costs but should confirm exactly which features are activated in their account before migration scoping.

What gets migrated
Core Practice object support
Object-by-object support for Core Practice migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Patients
Mapping requiredCore Practice stores patient demographics and contact information. We map patient records field-by-field, preserving any custom fields added by the practice. Archived or inactive patient records require separate flagging during export.
Appointments
Mapping requiredAppointment scheduling data including date, time, provider, and status is exported and mapped. Conflicts arising from timezone handling between Australian and UTC formats are resolved during transformation.
Clinical Charts
Mapping requiredTooth charts, periodontal records, and clinical notes are migrated. Core Practice stores clinical data in a proprietary format that requires field mapping to destination schema conventions.
Treatment Plans
Mapping requiredTreatment plans with associated procedures, fees, and insurance codes are transferred. Mapping is required because naming conventions for procedure codes vary between dental systems.
Billing Records
Mapping requiredInvoices, payments, and outstanding balances are exported. Historical billing records may have date-format variations that require normalization during migration.
Insurance Claims
Mapping requiredInsurance claim history and claim statuses are migrated. We flag any claims in a pending or disputed state that may need manual follow-up post-migration.
Documents and Attachments
Mapping requiredUploaded documents associated with patient records are extracted and transferred. File naming conventions in Core Practice can cause collisions that we resolve by prefixing patient IDs.
Staff and Provider Records
Mapping requiredProvider names, roles, and scheduling assignments are mapped to corresponding owner or staff records in the destination system.
