A Dentally alternative with Australia at the core
Dentally brought a genuinely modern cloud experience to Australian dentistry — from the UK. The comparison worth making is localisation depth.
Where Dentally is strong
Dentally is a cloud dental practice management system from the UK, now part of Henry Schein One and available in Australia. It offers a modern browser-based experience with appointments, charting and reporting.
Genuinely modern cloud experience with a polished interface. Strong reporting. Backed by a large global vendor.
Why practices look beyond it
It grew up around UK workflows — check how deeply Australian specifics (ADA items, health funds, Medicare-adjacent schemes) are modelled for your workflows. Support hours and product decisions span multiple markets. Confirm where your data is hosted and under which jurisdiction.
How Intellicore answers
Software localisation runs deeper than spelling and time zones. It's whether ADA item codes, Australian health funds, Medicare-adjacent schemes like DVA and CDBS, GST invoicing and Privacy Act expectations are the product's native assumptions or a market adaptation. Intellicore is Australian from the first commit: the billing engine models Australian claiming end to end, concession and pension cards are first-class fields, and your data lives in AWS Sydney under Australian jurisdiction — with the support team in your time zone.
Moving from Dentally
As a cloud system, Dentally data is accessible for export. We map patients, appointments, clinical records and balances into Intellicore and verify against source counts before switching.

Common questions
What does migrating from Dentally involve?
As a cloud system, Dentally data is accessible for export. We map patients, appointments, clinical records and balances into Intellicore and verify against source counts before switching. The whole process runs in five steps — demo and discovery, configuration, data migration, parallel testing, go-live — and our team does the work.
Does Intellicore really cover dental clinical work?
Yes — dental-first is the product's origin. Interactive tooth charting on photographic imagery (FDI notation, per-surface), treatment plans with prerequisite chains and ADA item coding, chairside operatory mode, and chart-to-invoice billing are core product, built on an event-sourced clinical history that can never be silently overwritten.
How does Intellicore pricing work?
Pricing is quoted per practice after a demo, and onboarding is done for you — our team installs, configures, migrates your data and trains your staff. There is no self-serve signup: every practice goes live with its data and workflows in place rather than an empty account.
