Eaglesoft is a long-standing on-premise dental practice management system from Patterson Dental, widely used across North America. If you are planning a move, here is what to expect — and how SmileCare handles the parts practice owners worry about most: data, downtime and cost.
Most transitions come down to three things: getting your existing data across intact, keeping the practice running while you do it, and knowing exactly what the new system costs each month.
SmileCare includes free data migration during onboarding and charges a published monthly price — $149 for Starter, $299 for Professional — with no hardware, migration or setup fees. Because it runs in the browser on your own Supabase instance, there is no server to install or patch on cutover day.
