Oasis end of life: the exit plan
End-of-life software doesn't fail on a schedule. It fails on the worst possible Tuesday. Here's what to secure now and how the exit actually runs.
The lie of the land
Oasis is a legacy Australian dental practice management system that served practices for many years. Active development has long since wound down, and most Oasis practices have either migrated or are planning to — which makes choosing its replacement a decision practices only want to make once.
Familiar to long-serving staff. Did the fundamentals dependably for many years.
What to weigh
A product no longer moving forward accumulates risk: OS compatibility, hardware failure, and shrinking support options. Old databases need careful extraction — the longer a migration waits, the fewer people remember how the data is structured. Modern requirements — cloud access, automated reminders, online interactions, AI assistance — will not arrive.
Our take
Three risks compound while an Oasis practice waits: the hardware it runs on ages toward failure, each Windows update is a small gamble, and the pool of people who understand its database shrinks. Do two things this month regardless of vendor choice: verify you have a complete, restorable backup off-site, and document your item-code customisations while staff remember them. Then plan the move properly — our five-step process (demo and discovery, configuration, data migration, parallel testing, cut-over) is built so the switch happens on a chosen quiet weekend, not an emergency.
Moving from Oasis
Oasis migrations are mostly about careful data archaeology. Our team extracts patients, treatment history, balances and documents, maps legacy item codes to a current ADA catalogue, and verifies the result with your front desk before cut-over.
Oasis vs Intellicore, at a glance
| Aspect | Oasis | Intellicore |
|---|---|---|
| Deployment | On-premise server (hosted options exist) | Cloud-native — any device, no servers, continuous updates |
| Pricing model | Legacy licensing; most practices now weigh replacement cost rather than renewal | Quoted per practice; onboarding includes migration and training |
| Data residency & isolation | Varies by deployment — confirm hosting location and tenancy model | AWS Sydney, one isolated database schema per practice |
| Clinical depth | Established — verify your specific workflows in a demo | FDI charting on photographic imagery, ADA-coded plans, chart-to-invoice |
| Automation & AI | Varies — confirm what runs unattended and what is add-on | Audited task engine + AI agents with human approval on every send |

Common questions
What does migrating from Oasis involve?
Oasis migrations are mostly about careful data archaeology. Our team extracts patients, treatment history, balances and documents, maps legacy item codes to a current ADA catalogue, and verifies the result with your front desk before cut-over. 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.
