What Dental4Windows costs

No published pricingchecked2026-08-01

Dental4Windows does not publish a price. You have to request a quote, which means you cannot budget or compare before speaking to a salesperson. No figure published anywhere on the site.

We do not repeat third-party price estimates for quote-only vendors. Several widely republished figures in this category turned out to belong to a different product — see how we compare.

What’s built in

12 of the 19 modules we track are included in the core product, 3 are paid add-ons.

“Not stated” means the vendor does not say either way on its public site. We do not infer capability that isn’t documented.

What it does well

The largest installed base in Australian dentistry — staff arrive knowing it, and the local integration ecosystem is built around it.
HICAPS integration is long-established, which is the thing that actually saves the front desk time every day.
Dental4Web gives an in-house migration path to the browser without changing vendor.

Where it falls short

No published pricing.
A mature product carrying a lot of history; the interface shows its age next to newer cloud entrants.
Two products under one roof means you should ask precisely which one a quote is for, and what differs.

Compare Dental4Windows against…

Dental4Windows vs Praktika — The incumbent against the Australian-built cloud
Dental4Windows vs EXACT — The two biggest installed bases in Australian dentistry
Dental4Windows vs Core Practice — Desktop heritage against cloud-native
Dental4Windows vs Dentally — The incumbent against the newest arrival

Next step

Prices and features move. Before you commit, confirm the current figure with Dental4Windows directly, and ask specifically what is not in the base price — that is where budgets slip in this category.
