Australian dental software reviews
8 systems available to Australia practices, grouped by how they’re deployed — because that decision shapes cost, IT burden and risk more than any feature does.
Cloud
Nothing to install; the vendor runs the servers and the backups.
Core Practice
Core Practice
Newer Australian cloud platform aimed at growing practices and groups.
Best for: Growing Australian practices and small groups that want cloud and modern patient-facing tools.
Dentally
Henry Schein One
Henry Schein One’s cloud practice management system — and the only vendor here that publishes a price in the UK.
Best for: Canadian practices that want cloud from a large vendor and will negotiate a quote.
Praktika
Praktika
Australian-built cloud system, browser-based since long before that was fashionable here.
Best for: Practices that want Australian-built cloud with claiming handled properly.
Principle
Principle Dental
Sydney-built cloud system, and the most AI-forward product in Australian dentistry.
Best for: Practices that want AI in the workflow now, from a local vendor, and will negotiate a quote.
On-premise
You own the server. Usually cheaper per month, but the backup, uptime and HIPAA exposure become yours.
Either way
Offered both cloud and on-premise, so you can change your mind without changing vendor.

EXACT
Software of Excellence (Henry Schein One)

Oasis
