FAQ
Is Dentospire really an alternative to CareStack?
Yes — Dentospire ships CareStack's cloud-first DSO core (multi-location, consolidated reporting, role-based access, audit trail, treatment planning, scheduling) PLUS AI-first features (X-ray analysis with cited findings, voice-to-SOAP, DARA assistant, Quick Mode) that CareStack doesn't ship natively. Pricing starts at $20/month vs CareStack's $700+/month enterprise tier.
Can I migrate from CareStack to Dentospire?
Yes. Dentospire ships a Data Import Wizard that accepts CSV/Excel exports of patients, treatments, and invoices. Most CareStack exports are supported out of the box. For larger DSO migrations the team helps map fields manually and stage rollout branch-by-branch.
Why are clinics switching from CareStack to Dentospire?
Three patterns: (1) cost — clinics on CareStack's enterprise tier paying $700+/month for capabilities Dentospire ships at $20/month; (2) AI gap — CareStack has no native AI X-ray, voice-to-SOAP, or natural-language reporting, so practices end up paying separate AI vendors on top; (3) Indian + UK clinics needing GST + DPDP/UK GDPR compliance CareStack doesn't address.
Does Dentospire support multi-location DSO chains like CareStack?
Yes. The Enterprise plan ships unlimited branches, consolidated reporting, branch-level data isolation, and role-based cross-branch access — same DSO pattern as CareStack but at India + UK pricing with AI features included rather than as paid add-ons.
