Pricing, side by side
Dentitek
Dentitek 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. The public site is also very thin, so most product detail is unverifiable from outside.
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.

Strengths and trade-offs
Dentitek
Strengths
- Real demand in Quebec — one of the most-searched dental software names in Canada, which usually reflects a large installed base.
- CDAnet certified, so claims submission is covered.
- Quebec-based vendor, with French-language support as a matter of course.
Trade-offs
- No published pricing.
- The public website carries very little product detail, so almost nothing can be verified from outside — unusual for a system with this much search demand.
- We have marked most modules “not stated” rather than guess. Ask for a written feature list.
ADSTRA
Strengths
- Trilingual — English, French and Spanish — which matters in Quebec and for multilingual teams.
- Genuinely modular: management, clinical and imaging are separable, so you can buy only what you need.
- In the market since 1994, with imaging developed in-house rather than integrated.
Trade-offs
- No published pricing.
- Modularity cuts both ways — the useful configuration is several modules, and the total is not visible up front.
- Thin public documentation of the newer patient-facing features.
