Overview

What this migration involves

Dr.DENTES stores dental practice data in a clinical schema built around patients, appointments, treatment plans, and billing records. Monday CRM uses a board-based architecture where People replace traditional contact objects, items replace records, and columns replace custom fields. The migration carries everything Dr.DENTES exports via its API — patient demographics, treatment histories, appointment timestamps, and clinical notes — into Monday CRM boards that your team builds around their actual workflow. The harder problems are translating treatment stages into board columns without losing clinical context, mapping appointment records to Monday's activity model, and rebuilding any automated reminders or recall sequences that existed in Dr.DENTES. Monday's native export tool does not handle dental-specific data types; FlitStack sequences the migration so foreign keys resolve correctly and dental terminology translates into Monday column labels your staff will recognize immediately. Each patient record carries forward with full historical context intact, and the resulting Monday CRM workspace reflects the operational rhythm of your practice from the first day of use.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Dr.DENTES logo

Dr.DENTES

What's pushing teams away

  • Geographic focus is Turkey first; the compliance integrations (USS/e-Nabız, e-Reçete) are irrelevant outside Turkey, and English-speaking dental practices typically need different e-prescribing connectors.
  • Very thin public review footprint — G2, Capterra, Software Advice, and GetApp list the product but with minimal reviewer feedback, so prospective buyers cannot easily compare against Curve, Open Dental, or Dentrix.
  • No documented public API or developer portal limits integration with practice analytics, marketing platforms, or imaging hardware vendors.
  • Single-vendor lock-in for the e-Nabız/USS bridge means migrations off Dr.DENTES require rebuilding the Turkish compliance integration in whatever dental PM replaces it.
  • Lightweight reporting and analytics versus enterprise-tier dental PMs; reviewers and the vendor's own feature page describe analytics as 'detailed reporting' rather than a configurable BI layer.

Choosing

What's pulling them in

  • Users praise the board-based visual interface for making pipeline stages immediately legible to non-technical team members without CRM training.
  • The no-code automation builder lets sales ops teams create lead routing, stage updates, and email triggers without developer involvement.
  • Integration ecosystem connects to Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and Zapier with minimal configuration, reducing friction for teams already using these tools.
  • The flexible column system lets teams build custom CRM views — deal value, close date, lead source — without needing a developer or pre-defined schema.
  • Teams already using monday Work Management can layer CRM features onto existing boards rather than starting from scratch.

Object mapping

How Dr.DENTES objects map to monday CRM

Each row shows how a Dr.DENTES object lands in monday CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

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

Dr.DENTES

Patient

maps to

monday CRM

People

1:1
Fully supported

Dr.DENTES patient records map directly to Monday CRM People entities. Patient demographics including name, date of birth, and contact information become Monday People fields. Clinical notes and tooth-chart data require custom columns in the linked board structure. FlitStack preserves all original patient identifiers for cross-reference during and after migration.

Dr.DENTES

Patient Demographics

maps to

monday CRM

People Custom Fields

1:1
Fully supported

Fields including address, phone, email, emergency contact, and insurance provider map to Monday People custom fields. Monday does not have a native insurance-provider field; a custom text or dropdown column handles this. FlitStack creates all required custom fields before the migration run begins.

Dr.DENTES

Appointment

maps to

monday CRM

Item (Calendar Board)

1:1
Fully supported

Dr.DENTES appointment records include date, time, provider, operatory, procedure code, and status. These map to Monday Items in a dedicated Appointments board with Date columns for scheduling, Status columns for outcome, and text columns for provider and procedure details. The calendar integration may be added post-migration for visual scheduling.

Dr.DENTES

Treatment Plan

maps to

monday CRM

Item (Treatment Board)

1:1
Fully supported

Treatment plans in Dr.DENTES list procedures with codes, costs, and completion status. These become Items in a Treatment Plan board with Status columns (Proposed, In Progress, Completed) and Number columns for costs. Monday's dependency columns can link treatment items to patient People records.

Dr.DENTES

Treatment History

maps to

monday CRM

Item Updates / Subitems

many:1
Fully supported

Historical treatment visits merge into subitems or updates on the patient Treatment Board item. Each visit becomes a subitem with date, procedure code, provider, and clinical notes. This approach preserves chronological treatment history without creating duplicate Items and maintains a clean board structure.

Dr.DENTES

Provider / Staff

maps to

monday CRM

Monday Users / People

1:1
Fully supported

Dr.DENTES provider and staff records map to Monday Users for system access and optionally to People records for patient-contact attribution. Provider specialty and license information store as custom fields on the People record. This dual mapping ensures proper access control and patient-facing attribution.

Dr.DENTES

Insurance Record

maps to

monday CRM

Custom Columns on People

1:1
Fully supported

Insurance carrier, policy number, group number, and coverage percentages have no Monday CRM native equivalent. These store as custom columns (text, number, date) on the patient People record. Insurance claim history may require a separate Insurance Claims board for complete tracking.

Dr.DENTES

Billing Record

maps to

monday CRM

Item (Billing Board)

1:1
Fully supported

Dr.DENTES billing records include procedure charges, payments, adjustments, and outstanding balances. These map to Items in a Billing board linked to patient People records via the connect board column. Balance columns use number fields; payment history stores as updates with timestamps.

Dr.DENTES

Clinical Note

maps to

monday CRM

Item Updates

1:1
Fully supported

Dr.DENTES clinical notes attached to patient visits migrate as Updates on the corresponding treatment Item. Original note timestamps and provider attribution are preserved. Monday's rich-text Update format accommodates clinical note formatting and maintains the complete audit trail of clinical documentation.

Dr.DENTES

Tooth Chart / Periodontal Data

maps to

monday CRM

Custom Columns / Subitems

1:1
Fully supported

Tooth-chart data (surface conditions, periodontal pocket depths) has no Monday CRM equivalent. FlitStack maps tooth-by-tooth status to a custom column set or as subitems per tooth on the patient record. Your practice defines the column schema before migration; options include per-tooth subitems or 32-tooth dropdown columns.

Dr.DENTES

Recall / Appointment Reminder

maps to

monday CRM

Monday Automations

1:1
Fully supported

Dr.DENTES automated recall sequences and appointment reminders have no Monday CRM equivalent. The recall logic must be rebuilt using Monday's Automation Center post-migration. FlitStack documents the original recall rules, triggers, intervals, and patient segments as a rebuild reference for your Monday admin.

Dr.DENTES

Attachment / X-Ray File

maps to

monday CRM

Monday Files

1:1
Fully supported

Patient attachments and X-ray files export from Dr.DENTES and re-upload to the corresponding Monday Items or People records. Monday's 25MB per-file limit applies to uploads; large imaging files exceeding this limit may require external storage with linked URLs maintained in Monday.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Dr.DENTES API requires manual vendor request before migration can begin

    Dr.DENTES does not offer self-service API key generation. To initiate migration, your practice must contact Dr.DENTES via email to request API access and a data export agreement. This adds 3–10 business days to project timelines before FlitStack can begin the technical migration. Monday CRM's API is self-service, but the Dr.DENTES-side access is the gating factor. We recommend requesting API access immediately upon signing the migration contract so the vendor coordination runs in parallel with Monday CRM board setup.

  • Monday CRM has no native dental clinical fields — tooth charts require custom column engineering

    Dr.DENTES tooth-chart data (per-tooth surface conditions, periodontal pocket measurements, existing restorations) has no Monday CRM native equivalent. Monday's column types include text, number, date, dropdown, and connect boards — but not a structured tooth-chart model. FlitStack works with your clinical team to define a custom column schema before migration runs: options include a per-tooth subitem structure, a set of 32 dropdown columns (one per tooth), or a linked Treatment Detail board connected to the patient People record. The chosen schema must be built in Monday before data lands.

  • Appointment records do not map to a native calendar object in Monday CRM

    Monday CRM does not have a native appointment or scheduling object the way Dr.DENTES does. Appointments migrate as Items in a dedicated Appointments board with Date, Time, and Status columns — but Monday does not enforce time conflicts or show appointments in a calendar view by default without the Calendar integration. Teams that rely on Dr.DENTES for operatory scheduling need to either use Monday's Calendar integration (Pro+ plans) or accept that appointment scheduling views require post-migration configuration. FlitStack documents the original schedule structure for your Monday admin to reference during setup.

  • Recall sequences and automated patient reminders do not transfer to Monday CRM

    Dr.DENTES recall sequences — automated reminders for hygiene appointments, follow-up visits, and treatment reactivation — operate within Dr.DENTES's clinical workflow engine. Monday CRM automations are board-scoped and trigger on column-value changes; they cannot replicate the time-based recall logic that Dr.DENTES built for dental recall intervals (e.g., 6-month hygiene, perio maintenance). These sequences must be rebuilt in Monday's Automation Center post-migration. FlitStack exports a complete list of your active recall rules, triggers, and intervals as a rebuild reference document for your Monday admin.

  • Monday CRM API rate limits cap bulk write operations on large patient bases

    Monday CRM enforces API rate limits that scale with your plan: Basic and Standard accounts are capped at 1,000 daily API calls, Pro at 10,000, and Enterprise at 25,000. A Dr.DENTES migration with 50,000+ patient records requires careful pagination and batching to avoid hitting rate limits during the migration run. FlitStack's migration engine respects Monday's rate limit headers, implements exponential backoff on 429 responses, and splits large record sets across off-peak hours. Enterprise plans can request a rate limit increase through Monday's support team if the default caps create timeline pressure.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Dr.DENTES to monday CRM data migration

  1. Coordinate Dr.DENTES API access and Monday CRM account setup in parallel

    Before data extraction begins, your practice contacts Dr.DENTES to request API access and a data export agreement. Simultaneously, FlitStack sets up your Monday CRM account: creates the board structure (Patients, Appointments, Treatments, Billing boards), defines custom columns matching your clinical fields, and assigns board permissions per staff role. We deliver a Monday board schema plan based on your Dr.DENTES data inventory so your team can review and approve the structure before any data moves.

  2. Extract patient records, treatment histories, and billing data from Dr.DENTES

    Once API access is granted, FlitStack pulls all accessible Dr.DENTES objects: patient demographics, appointment records, treatment plans, treatment history, clinical notes, provider records, insurance information, and billing transactions. We extract data in dependency order — patients first, then appointments linked by patient ID, then treatment plans linked by appointment. Any files (attachments, X-rays) are downloaded separately for re-upload to Monday CRM Items. We generate a data quality report flagging duplicate records, missing required fields, and records with incomplete patient links.

  3. Run a sample migration of 100–500 patient records with field-level diff

    A representative slice of patient records — including patients with treatment history, appointments, and billing records — migrates to your Monday CRM boards first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report comparing source values against Monday CRM field values for every mapped column. Your team reviews the diff to confirm tooth-chart column schema, appointment board status values, and billing column mappings are correct before the full run commits. This step catches any column schema misconfiguration before it affects your full patient base.

  4. Execute full migration with delta-pickup window for in-flight changes

    The full patient record migration runs against your Monday CRM account using the approved column schema. A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any new appointments, treatment plans, or billing records created in Dr.DENTES during the migration cutover. All records carry original create and update timestamps preserved as custom fields in Monday CRM for reporting continuity. FlitStack generates a post-migration validation report: record counts per board, duplicate detection results, and a list of any records that failed to migrate with reason codes.

  5. Deliver rebuild reference for recall sequences and Monday automation setup

    Dr.DENTES recall sequences, appointment reminders, and patient communication automations do not migrate to Monday CRM — they require rebuild in Monday's Automation Center. FlitStack delivers a comprehensive rebuild reference document: every active recall rule with its trigger condition, interval, and target patient segment. Your Monday admin uses this document to recreate automation recipes in Monday's board-scoped automation builder. FlitStack remains available during the rebuild phase to answer schema-mapping questions but does not configure Monday automations directly.

Strengths

  • Board-based UI makes pipeline stages and deal progress visually obvious without training.
  • No-code automation builder requires no developer resources to create lead routing and stage-triggered actions.
  • Flexible column system supports custom CRM fields without schema changes or admin involvement.
  • Integrates natively with Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and Zapier with minimal configuration overhead.
  • Layered product means teams already on monday Work Management can add CRM without migrating existing data.

Weaknesses

  • No native Contacts object separate from Items — contacts are managed inside a CRM module's People feature.
  • Pipeline and deal relationships use a flat item model rather than a relational object model, making complex CRM associations awkward.
  • Automations are plan-gated (250 actions/month on Standard, 25,000 on Pro) and the legacy Recipe system is being deprecated.
  • Customization and advanced views (Chart, Formula, Dependency) are locked behind Pro and Enterprise tiers.
  • Per-seat pricing with non-refundable annual billing creates cost lock-in risk during migration.

Most Dr.DENTES to Monday CRM migrations complete in 7–14 days of clock time for under 25,000 patient records. The gating factor is Dr.DENTES API access — vendor coordination to grant API credentials adds 3–10 business days before extraction can begin. Larger practices with 100,000+ records, extensive treatment histories, or attachment files extend to 3–5 weeks. Monday CRM board setup runs in parallel with vendor coordination, so the effective project timeline depends on how quickly Dr.DENTES responds to API access requests.
