Overview
Denticon organizes dental practices around patients, providers, offices, and appointments with deep clinical charting, insurance processing, and recall management. HighLevel organizes around contacts, companies, opportunities, and workflows with no native dental objects. We map Denticon patients to HighLevel contacts (with dental-specific fields as custom fields), appointments to opportunities with calendar events, providers to HighLevel users, and offices to location text fields. All original create dates, referral sources, and owner emails are preserved. Clinical data (periodontal charting, treatment plans, tooth conditions) moves as structured custom fields but requires manual workflow rebuilding in HighLevel's automation builder. The migration runs against HighLevel's Contacts API with rate-limit handling for large DSO datasets. Pricing scales with patient volume, custom field count, and clinical data complexity. The migration pipeline also preserves the original source system identifiers to enable delta syncs after cutover. Provider credentials such as DEA number and NPI are stored as custom fields on the HighLevel user record since no native credential fields exist. For multi-office DSOs, each office name is stored in a Primary_Office__c custom field and also applied as a tag on each contact to enable list-based filtering and workflow triggers by location. Because HighLevel lacks a native billing or RCM model, insurance carrier, group number, and active claim states are exported to a separate reference file for audit continuity rather than imported into the CRM. All migration steps are executed with read-only API access, leaving the source Denticon data untouched throughout the process.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Denticon 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.
Denticon
Patient
HighLevel
Contact
1:1Denticon patients migrate as HighLevel contacts. All standard demographic fields (name, email, phone, address) map directly. Original patient create dates are preserved as a custom datetime field since HighLevel's CreatedDate is set at migration time. Any additional patient identifiers such as external IDs are also retained to support downstream reconciliation and delta‑sync processes.
Denticon
Patient custom_field_1
HighLevel
Contact (custom field)
1:1Denticon's patient-level custom_field_1 migrates as a HighLevel custom text field. The field name is carried forward and populated with the original value. A second custom field follows the same pattern for custom_field_2. The migration pipeline pre-creates the custom field in HighLevel before loading any records, ensuring the import does not fail due to a missing target field.
Denticon
Patient custom_field_2
HighLevel
Contact (custom field)
1:1Denticon's second patient custom field maps to a second HighLevel custom text field. Both custom fields are created in HighLevel before migration begins so the import pipeline has a valid target field for every record. This pre-creation step avoids runtime errors and ensures that each record's custom data is written without truncation.
Denticon
Patient (dental clinical data)
HighLevel
Contact (custom fields)
1:1Periodontal charting, treatment plans, tooth conditions, and imaging data have no HighLevel native equivalent. We map each clinical data point to a named custom field on Contact — such as Perio_Chart__c, Treatment_Plan__c, and Tooth_Conditions__c — so historical clinical context is available on each patient record.
Denticon
Provider
HighLevel
User
1:1Denticon provider records (name, email, DEA number, NPI, specialty) map to HighLevel users. Provider email is used to match against existing HighLevel users. DEA number and specialty are stored as custom fields since HighLevel user records have no native credential fields.
Denticon
Office / Location
HighLevel
Contact (custom field) + location_tag
1:1Denticon offices map to a HighLevel custom text field (Primary_Office__c) storing the office name. For multi-location practices, office names are also applied as tags on each contact so filtering by location works in HighLevel's contact list views and workflow triggers.
Denticon
Appointment
HighLevel
Opportunity + Calendar Event
1:1Denticon appointments migrate as HighLevel opportunities with a linked calendar event. The appointment type becomes the opportunity name, the scheduled date becomes CloseDate, and the provider becomes the Opportunity Owner. Appointment status, operatory, and production type are stored as custom fields since HighLevel's appointment model is simpler.
Denticon
Referral source
HighLevel
Contact (custom field)
1:1Incoming referral source information from Denticon's External Referral feature migrates as a custom text field (Referral_Source__c) on each contact. Referral source names and originating provider are preserved for reporting in HighLevel's contact views. The field is indexed so you can filter contacts by referral origin in list views, workflows, and reports without performance impact.
Denticon
Insurance / RCM data
HighLevel
Contact (custom fields)
1:1Insurance carrier, group number, and primary/secondary insurance flags migrate as custom text fields on the contact record. Claims history and RCM workflow states do not have a HighLevel equivalent — those records are preserved in a reference export file for audit purposes.
Denticon
Attachment / File
HighLevel
Contact attachment (via import)
1:1Patient files and clinical attachments stored in Denticon are exported to a file archive with a reference link stored in HighLevel's contact record. Files are not re-uploaded into HighLevel's native file storage; the archive provides continuity for compliance and audit purposes.

Gotchas + challenges
Platform-specific issues from each side, plus the pair-specific challenges that don't show up on either platform's page on its own.
Denticon gotchas
PGID Split requires signed agreements and coordination between buyer and seller
Chrome cache and bad shortcuts corrupt patient context between sessions
Custom fields are severely limited to two fields of 25 characters
API writeback scope is limited to specific endpoints
Automated campaign quiet hours restrict message delivery timing
HighLevel gotchas
Sub-account architecture creates isolated data silos per client
Usage-based telecom and AI costs are not in the subscription price
Workflows have no native equivalent in most destination CRMs
API rate limits cap bulk migration throughput at 100 requests per 10 seconds per sub-account

Migration approach
Export Denticon data via API and map to HighLevel schema
We pull all patients, appointments, providers, and offices via the Denticon Patients API and Appointments API. Each object is mapped to its HighLevel equivalent: patients become contacts, appointments become opportunities with linked calendar events, providers become users, and dental-specific fields are routed to pre-created custom fields. The export handles rate-limit pacing against Denticon's API endpoints and produces a structured staging dataset ready for validation.
Create custom fields and location tags in HighLevel
Before data lands, we create all required custom fields on the HighLevel Contact and Opportunity objects — including dental fields (Perio_Chart__c, Treatment_Plan__c, Tooth_Conditions__c, Primary_Office__c, Insurance_Carrier__c, Referral_Source__c) and audit fields (Original_Create_Date__c, Source_System_ID__c). Office names are defined as tags in HighLevel so list filtering by location works immediately after migration. Each custom field is created with the appropriate type (text, pick‑list, date) to match the source data semantics, ensuring that downstream workflows and reporting can reference the fields without type‑conversion errors.
Resolve providers to HighLevel users by email match
Dentist provider email addresses are matched against existing HighLevel user accounts. Matched providers are assigned as Opportunity owners for their respective appointment records. Unmatched providers are flagged before migration so your team can create HighLevel user accounts or assign a fallback owner — no contact or opportunity lands without an assigned owner. If a provider's email does not resolve, we store their name in a custom field on the Opportunity and set a placeholder user as the owner until your team updates the record.
Run a sample migration with field-level diff
A representative slice (typically 200–500 patient records with appointments across multiple providers and offices) migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values against the HighLevel contact and opportunity records so you can verify custom field population, referral source mapping, owner resolution, and timestamp preservation before the full run commits. The diff report highlights any discrepancies such as missing custom field values, mismatched owner IDs, or truncated text, giving you confidence that the migration logic handles edge cases correctly.
Execute full migration with delta-pickup and audit log
The full dataset imports against HighLevel's Contacts and Opportunities APIs. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any patient records or appointments modified in Denticon during the cutover window. Every import operation is captured in an audit log. One-click rollback is available if reconciliation shows data divergence — the Denticon source data is never modified during the migration. If any errors occur during import, the system halts the batch, logs the specific record ID and error message, and resumes from the next record after the issue is resolved.
