Test one clinic day before choosing your software.
Use one familiar clinic day to evaluate dental practice management software. Record what your team can complete, where it needs help and which requirements remain unanswered.
1. Write down what your clinic needs to do
Choose a typical dentist schedule, a service and a patient administration task. List any additional requirements such as clinical charting, data imports, exports or payment collection so you can check them separately.
For a clinic in India, confirm the billing country, currency and tax treatment. Do not assume that a price for another market applies to your clinic.
2. Configure a small, realistic schedule
Set the clinic timezone, working hours, dentist availability, service duration and a break. Add a holiday or closed period. Check whether the offered appointment times match those settings.
Record the expected result before testing: for example, the lunch break should not offer a slot. This makes the trial easier to review with the rest of your team.
3. Complete an appointment from start to finish
Find an existing patient or create a clearly labeled test record using data your clinic is authorized to use. Book a service with a dentist, locate the appointment in the calendar, then try changing the time and recording a cancellation.
Try a time already occupied by another appointment. Check how the system explains the conflict and helps staff choose a different slot.
4. Check patient lookup and staff roles
Search before creating another patient. Review how possible duplicates are presented and whether the team can distinguish two different people with similar names or shared phone numbers.
Test the workflow from separate owner, receptionist and dentist accounts. Confirm that each role has the functions needed for its work and that account access can be reviewed when staff change.
5. Open the public booking page
Check the clinic details, services, dentists and available times from the patient’s view. Complete a test booking only within your own authorized trial clinic, and confirm how it appears in the staff calendar.
In Dentiaro, a valid public booking creates a confirmed appointment. Configure availability before sharing the clinic link with patients.
6. Review the full subscription decision
Record the monthly and annual price before tax, any applicable tax, trial duration, payment availability and support arrangements. Ask about the data-handling, retention and export requirements that matter to your clinic.
Dentiaro offers a 30-day trial for clinics in India without a payment card. Starter is INR 1,199 per month or INR 11,510 per year before applicable tax. The trial does not automatically charge you; review subscription payment options in your clinic account when available.
What should we have at the end of the trial?
Keep a short result for each task: completed independently, completed with help, or not available. Add the person who tested it and any unresolved question.
Choose based on the workflows your team needs and has verified. Request clarification before relying on a feature, payment method or data arrangement you could not test.
Common questions
How long is the Dentiaro trial?
The trial lasts 30 days from account creation and is available to clinics in India. No payment card is required.
What is the most useful first test?
Set the clinic hours and a service, find or add a patient, book an appointment with a dentist, and check it in the calendar. Then test a change so the trial covers everyday work beyond the first booking.
