Overview

What this migration involves

DentAdmin organizes patient data around a clinical model: patients, providers, treatments, appointments, and insurance records live in a dental-specific schema with RIZV-code calculations and treatment charting. HighLevel uses a general CRM model built around Contacts, Companies, Opportunities, and Pipelines, with custom objects for domain-specific data and a Workflow Builder for automation. The migration carries DentAdmin patients into HighLevel Contacts, providers into HighLevel Users (or a custom provider object), and appointments into Tasks or Events with original start times and owner links preserved. Treatment codes and insurance fields map to custom fields on the Contact record or a custom dental-records object. HighLevel's Workflow Builder cannot auto-import DentAdmin sequences or reminder rules — those must be rebuilt using HighLevel's trigger-and-action framework. We use scoped read access on DentAdmin's API (standard 3,600 calls/hour ceiling) and HighLevel's bulk CSV export endpoints for record extraction, then load through HighLevel's Contacts and custom-objects API with a 24–48 hour delta window capturing in-flight changes during cutover.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

DentAdmin

What's pushing teams away

  • Limited transparency around subscription pricing makes it difficult for practices to compare cost against alternatives before committing to a contract term.
  • The product appears to have a small market footprint outside Belgium, which limits access to peer reviews, third-party integrations, and specialist support talent.
  • Practices report that the software lacks a well-documented public API, making it difficult to connect with modern third-party tools or automate data workflows.

Choosing

HighLevel logo

HighLevel

What's pulling them in

  • Agencies choose HighLevel to consolidate CRM, email, SMS, scheduling, and funnels into one subscription, eliminating monthly bills for five to ten separate SaaS tools they previously stitched together.
  • The flat-rate pricing model bills per sub-account rather than per contact, so growing a contact database from 1,000 to 100,000 records does not trigger a billing surprise—a common pain point avoided by migrating customers.
  • White-label and sub-account capabilities let agencies resell HighLevel access to their own clients, turning a software cost center into a recurring revenue stream that justifies the subscription.
  • The platform ships a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, giving teams a low-friction entry point to validate fit before committing to the $97/month Starter tier.
  • Marketing agencies managing multiple client accounts use sub-accounts to maintain data isolation per client while operating under a single agency billing relationship with HighLevel.

Object mapping

How DentAdmin objects map to HighLevel

Each row shows how a DentAdmin object lands in HighLevel, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

DentAdmin

Patient

maps to

HighLevel

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Direct map. Every DentAdmin patient becomes a HighLevel Contact. The patient's name, date of birth, phone, email, and address fields map to the corresponding HighLevel Contact fields. Custom dental fields (insurance carrier, policy number, RIZV tier) migrate as custom fields on the Contact record. Multi-site DentAdmin accounts may produce duplicate patient names across locations — we flag these for de-duplication before the full migration runs.

DentAdmin

Provider (Behandelaar)

maps to

HighLevel

User

1:1
Fully supported

Direct map by email match. Each DentAdmin provider with an email address resolves to a HighLevel User. Providers without email addresses in DentAdmin are imported as Contact records in a 'Former Provider' state — your admin reassigns them to Users manually before go-live. Provider specialty (e.g., Tandarts, Mondhygiënist) migrates as a custom pick-list field on the User record.

DentAdmin

Appointment

maps to

HighLevel

Task

1:1
Fully supported

Each DentAdmin appointment becomes a HighLevel Task linked to the patient Contact. The task subject carries the appointment type (Controle, Behandeling, Intake), the due date reflects the original appointment date, and the task status maps from DentAdmin status (Gepland → Not Started, Voltooid → Completed, Annulatie → Cancelled). Original provider assignments resolve to the matched HighLevel User via email.

DentAdmin

Appointment

maps to

HighLevel

Calendar Event (optional)

1:1
Fully supported

If HighLevel's calendar is active at the destination, appointments also generate Calendar Events with original start/end times preserved. This requires the HighLevel calendar to be enabled and configured before migration. The task record serves as the authoritative appointment history regardless of calendar sync status.

DentAdmin

Treatment Code

maps to

HighLevel

Custom Field (Contact) or Custom Object

1:1
Fully supported

DentAdmin RIZV treatment codes (e.g., code numbers for specific procedures) have no native equivalent in HighLevel. We create a custom field on Contact named Treatment_Code__c to store the last-applied code and a custom object named Treatment_History__c to store the full treatment log with dates, codes, and provider assignments per patient.

DentAdmin

Insurance Record

maps to

HighLevel

Custom Fields on Contact

many:1
Fully supported

Insurance carrier name, policy number, and coverage tier from DentAdmin merge into three custom fields on the Contact record: Insurance_Carrier__c, Insurance_Policy_Number__c, and Insurance_Tier__c. Patients with multiple insurance plans (e.g., mutual + hospitalisation) are stored as a comma-separated value in the primary field, with a note field for the full breakdown.

DentAdmin

Document / Attachment

maps to

HighLevel

HighLevel Files

1:1
Fully supported

DentAdmin patient documents (clinical forms, signed consents, X-ray references) re-upload as HighLevel Files attached to the Contact record. File size limits (25 MB per file) apply — documents exceeding this threshold are flagged for splitting or manual alternative handling. Original filenames and upload dates are preserved in the file metadata.

DentAdmin

Treatment Plan

maps to

HighLevel

Opportunity

1:1
Fully supported

Active treatment plans in DentAdmin map to HighLevel Opportunities. The Opportunity name carries the plan description, the estimated amount reflects the total plan value (if priced in DentAdmin), and the pipeline stage defaults to a 'Treatment Plan' stage that your admin customizes. Once the treatment is completed, the stage moves to 'Closed Won' or your equivalent — this mapping is confirmed during the sample migration review.

DentAdmin

Recall / Follow-up Rule

maps to

HighLevel

HighLevel Workflow

1:1
Fully supported

DentAdmin recall intervals (e.g., 6-month hygiene recall) cannot be exported. These rules must be rebuilt in HighLevel's Workflow Builder as time-based triggers — the contact tag 'Hygiene Patient' fires a workflow that schedules an outreach message 180 days after the last appointment. We document every active recall rule from DentAdmin as a rebuild reference for your HighLevel admin.

DentAdmin

Site / Practice Location

maps to

HighLevel

Location Custom Field or Sub-Account

1:1
Fully supported

Multi-site DentAdmin accounts map each location to a HighLevel Location__c custom field on Contact for reporting segmentation. If your HighLevel setup uses sub-accounts per location (Unlimited or SaaS Pro tier), we can partition the migration by sub-account — each location's patients land in a separate HighLevel sub-account with its own pipeline and workflows.

DentAdmin

Financial / Payment Record

maps to

HighLevel

Custom Object or Stripe Integration

1:1
Fully supported

DentAdmin billing and payment records (amounts paid, outstanding balance) have no native HighLevel equivalent. We migrate the last payment amount and outstanding balance as custom fields on the Contact for reference. Full billing history requires a separate accounting integration (e.g., Stripe or QuickBooks) that must be configured post-migration — we do not rebuild the billing model.

DentAdmin

Patient Tag / Category

maps to

HighLevel

Tag

1:1
Fully supported

DentAdmin patient categories (e.g., 'Nieuwe Patiënt', 'Terugkerend', 'Factureringsprobleem') migrate as HighLevel Tags on the Contact record. Tags are applied at migration time and can trigger workflows in HighLevel — your admin decides whether to enable tag-based triggers for newly migrated tags.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Appointment-to-task mapping loses DentAdmin's clinical status taxonomy

    DentAdmin distinguishes between appointment types that carry clinical meaning (Intake, Root Canal, Extraction) and their RIZV billing codes. HighLevel Tasks carry a Type pick-list but no clinical taxonomy — an 'Intake' appointment and a 'Routine Cleaning' both land as tasks with no native way to distinguish clinical urgency. We create a custom Type__c field on the Task record and map DentAdmin appointment types value-by-value, but any downstream workflow that relies on clinical type must reference that custom field. The risk is that workflow triggers built on HighLevel's native task Type pick-list will not fire correctly for migrated records unless your admin updates the trigger conditions to reference the custom field.

  • RIZV codes and RIZV-price calculations have no HighLevel equivalent

    DentAdmin automatically calculates patient prices using RIZV (Belgian dental reimbursement) codes tied to the patient's insurance tier. HighLevel has no native RIZV-code model — treatment codes must be stored as custom text fields and price calculations require either a manual lookup table in a custom object or an external billing integration (Stripe, Quadient, or a custom webhook). We migrate the last-applied RIZV code and treatment history as custom fields, but the auto-calculation logic must be rebuilt. Practices that rely on DentAdmin's billing summary for patient invoices need to establish a new invoicing workflow post-migration — this is not auto-migrated.

  • Workflows, recall intervals, and automation rules do not transfer

    HighLevel's Workflow Builder uses a trigger-and-action model (form submission, tag applied, stage changed) that is architecturally incompatible with DentAdmin's rule-based reminders. The DentAdmin recall system (e.g., 'recall hygiene patients every 6 months') must be rebuilt from scratch: create a tag for each recall cohort, build a time-delay workflow that fires an SMS or email N days after the last appointment date, and connect it to HighLevel's calendar or contact profile. We export a complete list of active DentAdmin reminder rules as a rebuild specification, but the rebuild itself is a manual configuration step your HighLevel admin performs.

  • Multi-site DentAdmin accounts require careful owner deduplication

    When DentAdmin manages multiple practice locations under one account, the same provider may appear in multiple site contexts with different internal IDs. HighLevel's User model is global per sub-account — a provider email registered once resolves to one User, and all appointments for that provider across sites link to that single User record. If the same email appears under different provider names across sites (e.g., 'Dr. Janssens - Site A' vs. 'Dr. Janssens - Site B'), the name normalization may lose site attribution. We preserve site attribution by setting Location__c on every linked Contact and Task, but your admin should verify User assignments during the sample migration review.

  • HighLevel API bulk limits may throttle multi-site extraction

    HighLevel's Sub-account A limit of 100 API requests per 10 seconds and 200,000 per day is sufficient for most single-site migrations. However, multi-site DentAdmin accounts exporting patient records across all locations simultaneously may approach daily limits during the extraction phase if your record count exceeds 100,000. We use HighLevel's Bulk CSV export endpoint where available to reduce API call count, and we batch extraction across site accounts to stay within rate limits. If your DentAdmin account has more than five sites and more than 80,000 combined patient records, we schedule extraction across off-peak hours to avoid throttling.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful DentAdmin to HighLevel data migration

  1. Audit DentAdmin data and document the source schema

    We connect to DentAdmin via scoped read access and enumerate every patient record, provider, appointment, treatment code, insurance field, and document. We generate a schema inventory noting which fields are standard DentAdmin fields versus custom properties your practice has added. We also document every active reminder rule and recall interval from DentAdmin's settings as a rebuild reference. This audit runs against a representative sample first (typically 500 records) to surface any unexpected field formats before full extraction begins.

  2. Design HighLevel schema: custom fields, custom objects, and pipeline stages

    Based on the schema inventory, we create the custom fields (Date_of_Birth__c, Insurance_Carrier__c, Treatment_Code__c, Location__c, etc.) and custom objects (Treatment_History__c) in your HighLevel sub-account. We also configure the Opportunity pipeline with a 'Treatment Plan' stage and map DentAdmin appointment statuses to HighLevel Task statuses. This schema setup plan is delivered as a checklist your HighLevel admin approves before we proceed to extraction.

  3. Resolve providers by email and prepare owner mapping

    Each DentAdmin provider with an email address is matched to a HighLevel User by email. Providers without email addresses are flagged for manual assignment — your team either creates HighLevel User accounts for them or assigns their records to a designated fallback User. We generate an owner-mapping report showing every provider, their matched HighLevel User (or 'Unmatched — action required' flag), and the count of records each provider owns. No appointment or task migrates without a resolved owner.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of 200–500 records — spanning patients, appointments, treatment codes, and documents — migrates into HighLevel first. We generate a field-level diff showing source value, destination value, and any transformation applied for every mapped field. You review the diff in HighLevel: verify that RIZV codes landed in the correct custom fields, that appointment types resolved to the expected Task subjects, and that provider assignments are accurate. Approval of the sample diff is the gate for the full migration run.

  5. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window

    Full extraction and load runs against the complete DentAdmin dataset. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours after the full run completes) captures any records created or modified in DentAdmin during the cutover period. All operations are logged in FlitStack's audit trail. If reconciliation fails — a record count mismatch, a missing required field, or a field that did not transform as expected — one-click rollback reverts the destination to its pre-migration state so your team can investigate and re-run.

Strengths

  • Native Belgian RIZIV-code and health-insurance billing automation reduces administrative overhead for domestic practices.
  • Managed migration service from CGM Belgium handles database import from any prior dental system at onboarding.
  • Explicit GDPR-conformity statement addresses data-privacy compliance requirements for European dental practices.
  • Multi-provider support within a single database accommodates group practices and multi-dentist clinics.

Weaknesses

  • No publicly documented REST API, limiting automated integrations and making programmatic migration more complex.
  • Subscription pricing is not published publicly, requiring direct contact to obtain a quote.
  • Small international footprint outside Belgium reduces availability of peer reviews, community support, and third-party integration plugins.

Destination

Strengths

  • Consolidates CRM, marketing automation, email, SMS, scheduling, and funnels into one platform at a predictable flat monthly rate.
  • Supports unlimited contacts and unlimited users on all paid tiers, removing per-record billing anxiety as databases grow.
  • Offers white-label and sub-account capabilities that let agencies resell access and manage multiple client environments under one billing relationship.
  • Includes built-in review management, reputation monitoring, and AI agents as native features rather than third-party add-ons.
  • Exports Contacts and Companies via a scalable async bulk CSV system that handles multi-million-row datasets without blocking the UI.

Weaknesses

  • The breadth of features creates a steep learning curve; advanced automations and Workflow configuration require significant time investment that smaller teams may not recover.
  • The platform charges usage-based fees for telecommunications and AI features that are not included in the base subscription, leading to bill surprises.
  • Recurring user reports on Reddit and G2 describe bugs, errors, and slow support response times that disrupt live marketing and sales operations.
  • Sub-account architecture, while powerful for agencies, adds migration complexity when identifying which client data lives in which isolated environment.
  • The platform is designed for agencies and SMBs; larger enterprises requiring deep reporting, custom objects at scale, or complex role-based access may outgrow its capabilities.
