Overview
Dent-O-Soft organizes dental practice data around patients, treatment plans, appointments, billing claims, and supplier relationships. HubSpot CRM uses Contact, Company, Deal, Ticket, and custom object records to represent the equivalent information — but the two platforms name fields differently and enforce different association rules. We extract Dent-O-Soft patient records via API export, map each to HubSpot Contacts with original creation timestamps preserved, resolve practice/clinic names to HubSpot Companies, and route treatment plan data into Deals or custom objects depending on your revenue tracking model. Activity history (appointments, calls, notes) migrates as HubSpot engagements with original timestamps. Custom fields, insurance claim data, and supplier relationships surface as HubSpot custom properties or custom objects. Workflows, templates, and reporting configurations do not migrate — those require manual rebuild in HubSpot, and we deliver a schema setup plan so your HubSpot portal is ready before data lands. Our migration engine uses HubSpot's Bulk API for large record volumes and sequences the load so foreign-key dependencies resolve correctly: Companies first, then Contacts, then Deals with pipeline and stage mapping.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Dent-O-Soft object lands in HubSpot, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Dent-O-Soft
Patient
HubSpot
Contact
1:1Dent-O-Soft Patient records map directly to HubSpot Contacts. Patient first name, last name, date of birth, contact phone, and email transfer as Contact properties. Original patient create date is preserved as a custom datetime field since HubSpot's CreatedDate reflects migration timestamp.
Dent-O-Soft
Practice / Clinic
HubSpot
Company
1:1Dent-O-Soft practice or clinic name maps to HubSpot Company Name. Practice address, phone, and website transfer as Company properties. If Dent-O-Soft stores multiple practice locations, each location becomes a separate Company record with the parent organization noted in a custom field.
Dent-O-Soft
Treatment Plan
HubSpot
Deal
1:1Treatment Plans with estimated or completed procedure values map to HubSpot Deals. The treatment plan name becomes the Deal name; total estimated cost maps to Deal Amount. Treatment stage (e.g., 'Consultation', 'In Progress', 'Completed') maps to Deal Stage via value mapping. Each patient Contact gets associated to their Deal via Contact-to-Deal association.
Dent-O-Soft
Treatment Plan Stage
HubSpot
Deal Stage
1:1Dent-O-Soft treatment plan status values (e.g., 'Scheduled', 'In Treatment', 'Pending Insurance', 'Completed') map to corresponding HubSpot Deal stage pick-list values. Stage transition dates from Dent-O-Soft are preserved in custom datetime fields on the Deal record for reporting continuity. We validate that all Dent-O-Soft status values have corresponding HubSpot stage definitions before migration, and any unmapped statuses are flagged for your admin to define or map to an 'Other' stage category.
Dent-O-Soft
Appointment
HubSpot
Meeting / Call
1:1Dent-O-Soft appointment records with date, time, provider, and patient link migrate as HubSpot Meetings. Appointment type (e.g., 'Checkup', 'Procedure', 'Consultation') maps to Meeting body or a custom property. Original appointment timestamps and assigned provider (mapped to HubSpot owner by email) are preserved.
Dent-O-Soft
Insurance Claim
HubSpot
Custom Object: InsuranceClaim
1:1Insurance claims do not have a native HubSpot equivalent. We create an InsuranceClaim custom object with properties for claim number, status, provider, patient link, billed amount, and paid amount. Custom object requires HubSpot Enterprise; if not available, claims store as custom properties on the Contact record.
Dent-O-Soft
Insurance Provider
HubSpot
Company
1:1Dent-O-Soft insurance carrier or provider references map to HubSpot Companies with a custom 'Insurance Provider' property flag. This allows practices to filter HubSpot reports by insurance carrier and associate claim history with the carrier Company record. Each insurance provider Company links to patient Contacts via secondary associations, enabling your team to view all patients with a specific carrier, track total claims submitted and paid, and identify carriers with higher denial rates for targeted follow-up.
Dent-O-Soft
Supplier / Dental Technician
HubSpot
Company
1:1Dent-O-Soft supplier and dental laboratory records map to HubSpot Companies with a custom 'Supplier' or 'Lab' type property. Supplier contact name, email, and specialty transfer as Company properties. This enables tracking lab relationships separate from patient-facing insurance or practice Company records.
Dent-O-Soft
Clinical Note
HubSpot
Note / Engagement
1:1Dent-O-Soft clinical notes linked to patient records migrate as HubSpot Notes with original creation timestamp and provider attribution. Notes are attached to the Contact record and include a reference to the associated Treatment Plan via a custom property. The note body preserves the original clinical observations, treatment recommendations, and any patient-specific instructions, while the custom property linkage allows your team to filter all notes related to a specific Treatment Plan Deal for comprehensive treatment history review.
Dent-O-Soft
Billing Payment
HubSpot
Custom Object: Payment
1:1Individual payment records from Dent-O-Soft do not map to any standard HubSpot object. We create a Payment custom object linked to the Contact (patient) and the associated Deal (treatment plan), storing payment date, amount, method, and remaining balance. Requires HubSpot Enterprise for custom objects.
Dent-O-Soft
Patient Owner / Provider
HubSpot
HubSpot Owner
1:1Dent-O-Soft provider or staff assignments on patient records resolve to HubSpot Owners by email match. Unmatched providers are flagged before migration; your team either creates HubSpot users first or assigns records to a default owner. Primary dentist per patient becomes the Contact owner in HubSpot.
Dent-O-Soft
Custom Fields (Patient)
HubSpot
Custom Properties on Contact
1:1Dent-O-Soft custom fields on patient records (e.g., 'Referral Source', 'Preferred Contact Method', 'Medical Alert Flags') migrate as HubSpot custom contact properties. Property types are matched (text to text, number to number, date to date) and validated before migration. Property API names follow HubSpot's camelCase convention.
Dent-O-Soft
Custom Fields (Treatment Plan)
HubSpot
Custom Properties on Deal
1:1Dent-O-Soft custom fields on treatment plans (e.g., 'Anesthesia Type', 'Material Used', 'Lab Case ID') migrate as HubSpot custom deal properties. We preserve the data type and validate pick-list values against HubSpot's property constraints before loading. Property API names follow HubSpot's camelCase naming convention, and any field names exceeding HubSpot's 40-character limit are truncated with a suffix to ensure compliance while maintaining readability.

Migration approach
Extract Dent-O-Soft data via API and profile record structure
We connect to Dent-O-Soft via available export mechanisms — typically API extraction for structured data and CSV export for supplemental records. The extraction covers Patient, Practice, Treatment Plan, Appointment, Insurance Claim, Payment, and Supplier objects along with all custom fields. We profile the data: identify duplicate patient records, flag records with missing email or phone, and assess the distribution of treatment plan stages and insurance claim statuses. This profile drives the field-mapping plan and surfaces data-quality issues your team addresses before migration.
Design HubSpot schema and pre-create custom objects and properties
Based on the Dent-O-Soft data profile, we generate a HubSpot schema setup plan listing every custom property, custom object (if Enterprise), pipeline, and stage value that needs to exist before data lands. For custom objects (InsuranceClaim, Payment), we document the object schema, property definitions, and association relationships. Your HubSpot admin (or our team) creates these in HubSpot before we run validation. We deliver the setup plan as a checklist so nothing is missed before the migration window opens.
Resolve provider and staff assignments to HubSpot owners by email
Dent-O-Soft provider IDs on patient and treatment plan records resolve to HubSpot Users by email match. We run an owner-resolution pass against your HubSpot user list — matched records map directly; unmatched records are flagged with the Dent-O-Soft provider name and ID. Your team either creates HubSpot user accounts for those providers or designates a fallback owner. No Deal or Contact migrates without a resolved HubSpot owner, preventing gaps in assignment-based workflows after go-live.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff before full load
A representative slice — typically 200–500 records spanning patients, practices, treatment plans, appointments, and insurance claims — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against destination field values so you can verify stage mapping, custom property population, owner resolution, and association structure. You approve the diff output before the full migration commits. This pilot catches mapping errors, duplicate-detection issues, and association gaps before they affect your full patient database.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup window for in-flight records
The full record set loads via HubSpot's Bulk API, sequenced to resolve foreign-key dependencies: Companies first (practices, insurance carriers, suppliers), then Contacts (patients), then Deals (treatment plans), then associations and activities. A delta-pickup window — typically 24–48 hours — captures any Dent-O-Soft records created or modified during the cutover period so HubSpot reflects the final state at go-live. Our audit log records every operation; one-click rollback reverts to pre-migration state if reconciliation reveals issues.
