Migrate your Pearl Dental Software data
UK-focused dental practice management software built for independent practices, priced per surgery rather than per user, with white-glove onboarding data migration included.
In its favor
Why people choose Pearl Dental Software
The signal that keeps Pearl Dental Software on the shortlist. Sourced from G2, Capterra, and customer scoping calls.
Pricing model charges per surgery not per user, making it cost-predictable for multi-dentist practices with many staff members on the same subscription.
Strong customer support reputation with UK-based team, direct access without call queues, and onboarding included in the initial setup process.
Transparent pricing with no annual contract lock-in and no hidden fees for hardware upgrades or surprise add-ons, confirmed across their FAQ and pricing page.
Explicit data migration service included — Pearl's team handles imports from many competing systems and presents the customer with an approval step before committing the transfer.
Inclusive feature set on the base tier includes Patient Portal, PearlPad, touchscreen check-in, and unattended kiosk without tier-gating.
Very limited public API documentation — practices with custom integration needs or automated workflows find themselves unable to extend the platform without vendor involvement.
Small review sample (2 verified Capterra reviews, limited G2 presence) makes independent due diligence difficult and raises concerns about enterprise-grade support depth.
No published pricing for third-party integrations or onboarding fees — the absence of a public price for these components creates ambiguity during procurement.
Pearl is designed for independent practices and small groups; multi-practice brands and DSOs are explicitly told to wait for a next-generation product that has no announced release date.
Practices requiring advanced analytics or AI-assisted diagnostics built into the PMS layer may need to layer on third-party tools since Pearl's feature set is primarily operational.

What gets migrated
Pearl Dental Software object support
Object-by-object support for Pearl Dental Software migrations. Per-pair details surface during scoping.
Patients
Fully supportedPatients are the central record in Pearl's data model. We export all core demographic fields, contact details, and identifiers and map them 1:1 into the destination schema. No transformation required for standard fields.
Medical History
Fully supportedMedical history is attached to each patient record. We preserve the full history as structured fields including conditions, medications, allergies, and clinical notes. Value-level review is recommended if destination uses coded medical history fields.
Treatment Plans
Fully supportedTreatment plans are stored as per-patient records with plan status, proposed treatments, and outcomes. We export the full treatment plan structure and recreate it in the destination, preserving links back to the originating patient.
Appointments
Mapping requiredAppointments carry date, time, surgery/room, provider, and appointment type. Cross-system migration requires mapping Pearl's surgery and practitioner IDs to the destination's equivalent identifiers. We flag any unmapped appointment types for manual review.
Charting Data
Mapping requiredCharting data is stored in Pearl's internal format. We extract tooth-by-tooth chart entries including conditions, existing restorations, and treatment flags. Where the destination uses a different charting schema, we map tooth positions and status codes explicitly rather than bulk-importing.
Documents
Mapping requiredPatient documents including PDFs, referral letters, and consent forms are stored alongside the patient record. We export documents as files and associate them to the correct patient in the destination via patient ID cross-reference. Large document sets are chunked for reliable transfer.
X-Ray Images
Mapping requiredX-ray images are stored in Pearl's online backup storage. We export the image files separately from demographic data and flag associations for manual verification post-import, since image-to-chart linking requires destination-specific configuration.
Custom Fields
Mapping requiredCustom fields on patient or treatment records are supported where they exist in Pearl's export. We extract them as key-value pairs and map them to custom fields in the destination. Any custom fields that have no clear destination equivalent are flagged for customer review.
Diary / Scheduling
Mapping requiredPearl's diary stores recurring appointments and schedules. We export diary entries as structured data. Cross-system migration requires mapping surgery rooms and time slots to the destination's scheduling structure.
Insurance / Billing Records
Mapping requiredInsurance information and billing history are associated to patients and appointments. We export payer details, plan codes, and claim status. Destination systems use different billing object models, so we map insurance carriers and codes explicitly during the transformation phase.
Practice Configuration
Mapping requiredSurgeon and room configuration, provider lists, and workflow settings are practice-level data. We extract these as structured records. They require manual mapping to the destination's equivalent configuration section.
Attachments
Mapping requiredAttachments associated to treatments, referrals, or clinical notes are exported as files. We preserve the parent-object association so each file lands against the correct record in the destination system.
