Records scattered across systems
Patient history, documents and billing often live in more than one place.
What makes migration feel risky
The fear is usually about the cutover, not the software
Clinic downtime
A long cutover means empty chairs and a front desk working around the system.
Staff learning under pressure
A new platform is harder when the team has not seen its own data in it.
What SmileCare migration covers

How it works
Back up, map, validate, go live
Back up the source
Take a complete export of the existing system and keep it on your side.
Map and migrate
We map the fields that matter and move the data into your SmileCare deployment.
Validate and train
Your team reviews its own records, completes onboarding and goes live with support.
What to plan for
- The exact migration scope depends on the source system and data quality; it is confirmed during onboarding.
- Keep the source system backup available for reference after cutover.
- A 30-day free trial and free onboarding are included; no credit card is required to start.
FAQ
Common questions
Is data migration really included?
Yes. Migration of patient records, appointments, treatment history and core billing data is included during onboarding. The exact scope is confirmed after reviewing your source system.
Will we lose data during the move?
The process starts with a full backup/export of your source system. We map and validate the data before go-live; your team keeps the source backup for reference.
How long does migration take?
Timing depends on data quality, the source system and how much history you want to bring across. Most clinics complete onboarding in days rather than months.
Can we keep using our old system during the transition?
You can keep the source system available for reference while the new deployment is validated. The goal is a clean cutover, not a permanent dual-running workflow.
